I truly wish we had more politicians that behave in this manner. It should never boil down to my political party versus yours. There shouldn't be any sides to governing this country.

Having used their software in the past, I'm personally quite uncomfortable with this technology being used to monitor American citizens.

Stellaris a great game if you enjoy Civilization-style gameplay but at the galactic scale.

I switched to AMD because of Intel's chip stability issues. No problems since

OP are you a bot?

Maybe we behave differently when observed because some of the electrons within us are being observed

Reminds me of an interaction I had a long time ago.

    Me: :[
Friend: Turn that frown upside down!
    Me: ]:

If instance owners do not want to vet their users behavior if other instances speak up, the instance that is misbehaving gets defederated from the rest. That's the power of federated services.

Crossing my fingers and will be contributing to this hat trick come November

What's called sweet tea in the US is overwhelmingly sweet. That was my reaction to it the first time I tried it. It's so sweet, the only way you can get that much sugar in it is if you dissolve that sugar in hot tea.

I wish I could both up vote and down vote this post because of how foul it is and yet it perfectly fits the community

I still cringe at the mission planning that went into this (minimal at best)

The main excuse is that this is done on a frequent basis elsewhere, like on the east coast. Biggest difference there though, is the shell trajectory.

Most of the time this is done, the shell is very high up in the air, so even if it did prematurely detonate, the resulting shrapnel is nowhere near the highway through any part of flight.

This time around though, the target the shell was meant to hit was much too close to the highway. So minimal deviation from the projected flight path would result in high risk in hitting the highway.

That minimal deviation meant that premature detonation meant the cone of possible trajectories shrapnel could fly at intersected parts of the highway.

I can only hope that someone took serious note of this and updated whatever risk factors is accounted for when calculating collateral damage. Otherwise this is the new normal of risk taking that is being actively encouraged by the current administration. You might find out something risky worked, or find out the hard way that it didn't and pay in blood.

The game is over already!
