Wich is precisely the point of this sham of a law. I think Republicans know that they are decades away from revoking no-fault divorce, but they can erode a woman's ability to leave an unhappy marriage. This, abortion bans, school choice, it's all about turning the clock back before women's lib, ERA, etc.

And that's when you really get good at breaking shit.

Ukraine MOD has a program in place that databases every cluster munition fire mission. Demining eastern Ukraine is going to be a years long effort. Any unexpended ordinance will go into that effort. Countries that gave up cluster munitions have had their rose tinted glasses on too long and assumed war would be limited to foreign battlefields and not their back yards.

Typically, volcanic eruptions have a cooling effect. One of the principle emissions is sulfur dioxide which reflects high frequency solar energy (green house gases absorb and convert that same radiation into longer wave energy which excites atmospheric gases).

There is a huge difference between acceptable risk and recklessness. Reading his interviews he was a cowboy and this was an inevitability. This was in essence a murder suicide.

That's like rescuing people from a shipwreck and being surprised they're talking about the ship that sanked and not about the furnishings of the ship that saved them.

Too many comments commenting on Ivanka's perceived attractiveness...the point is this cretin sexualizes his own daughter. Show me a father who does that who isn't a disgusting pile of shit that should be exiled to a swamp. These people see women as objects, not people with agency.

Although disappointing, not entirely unexpected. Assaulting and defending are two different things and without air or artillery superiority, the assault phase is even more difficult. So these lads are pressing in on well prepared defensive lines without a ton of battle space preparation. Hopefully, they can perform well enough, and violently enough to overcome the typical 3:1 requirement for beaching and destroying fortified positions.

You never know when your last pole or last win was your last pole or last win. LH was justifiably emotional after this year.

I'm struggling to think of a driver who has absolutely collapsed like Checo in the same season. He is straight up not having a good time.

Seems like you could use a kick start for something different. Let me suggest Alabama White Sauce. Tangy, a little heat, and some lip sweat.

Alabama White BBQ Sauce: 1 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon prepared horseradish

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Salt

I snorted audibly on that one.

Pop is my new go to distro. Even without their own DE, the tweaks to gnome are really well considered and I don't spend an hour unfucking the default environment.

Very thoughtful and measured response admin. Thank you for this. Given how you follow topics and people on Mastodon, I cannot come to a reason why Threads will be bad for fed.

I see it as a win, not because of meta and people using it, but because it'll introduce more people to federated services. If Threads takes off and Twitter continues to circle the drain, I can envision the National Weather Service (NWS) and weather spotters transitioning over. There is literally no chance of that happening now, but Threads might be what overcomes that inertia.

I was pretty close to filtering Threads from my feed because the topic had been beaten to death with some patently immature and paranoid discussions, I'm glad I didn't.

Social media is supposed to be the digital commons. Without a dislike button, then the media cannot be a commons. You go to the town square and start spouting offensive bullshit you're going to get the proverbial rotten tomatoes thrown at you, mockery, and getting shunned.

With only having a like button, Twitter amplifies the message of bad actors and encourages rage responses. That's the point though isn't it? Engagement metrics to sell rage at a discount instead of the whole normal population buying a post with dislikes and moving on.

Bold assuming the corrupted six ever used anything close to consistency to inform their rulings.

I find there are few cult classics that can be found by future generations and maintain their cult status outside of the truly timeless greats like Rocky Horror Picture Show or similar. There's a nostalgia associated with most cult films. I can't imagine GenZ glomming onto Better off Dead or Ferris Bueller's Day Off or The Goonies because so much of the camp and humor is tied to a time they don't have a reference for.

But other than the first quali, he was pretty awful all season wasn't he? He wasn't winning and pushing for championship lead then turning into an disaster. It was hard to watch though.

You bring a great point and the one thing that boggles my mind in this disaster. Listening to the sub owner and reading his legal release, I can't fathom (bad pun) signing on and saying sign me up! It's like the same friend you mentioned told you the fuel line leaks but that's ok, because the department of highway safety exists only to reduce profits and kill fun. We could make it to our destination or die in a fiery crash, YOLO.
