^The Houthis have conducted more than 260 airstrikes against Houthi targets

I’m very curious what they’d say it needs to pass in order to be “proven”.

And then I’m curious if a pack of ground beef from the grocery store would be able to meet the same standard

This is more permanent than it could be…instead of being able to be undone via executive order, it would take an incredibly rare and twisted court ruling or an act of Congress. Neither is that unlikely, however repealing it won’t be unilateral, and that means it’ll take time and political capital.

There are a lot of things about the steam deck I respect, including that the only difference in price points is down to available storage, not performance. It really makes the device so much more accessible

Is this really sidestepping sanctions? My understanding of the sanctions is that they’re less about us not wanting China to use them, and more about us not wanting China to get their hands on the physical cards so they can reverse engineer them/fully own the computation done with them. Overseas rentals seems like the intended direction for them to go, because they can still use the computation power, but don’t have the physical hardware (plus they could lose all access to the datacenters in case of war).

Cancel culture only really is a thing when the person on the receiving end is capable of feeling the tiniest shred of embarrassment/remorse for what they’ve done (not being caught). People fade into obscurity when they get “cancelled” because the massive outcry from the public convinces them they can’t ignore that what they’re doing is wrong anymore. In the case of most fascist hucksters (as well as Mr Beast), they are incapable of seeing that what they’ve done is wrong, so they can never be convinced of the need to stop

As someone who has basically come to see “memecoin” and “scam” as synonyms, I have a hard time having any sympathy for anyone who puts money into this shit. Everyone knows that the endgame of every memecoin is for the creator to walk away with all the profit, right? Enough incidental people win a bit of money to keep everyone gambling that they can beat the scam, but everyone has to know that they’re feeding the scam when they buy in, right?

Abrams turrets are steeper and slope down towards the hull more. And the turret is overall thicker too, I think. Those are definitely Russian tanks, but my expertise on identifying Russian models is sadly lacking

It’s been unlikely to ever deploy again since the floating drydock it was in caught fire and almost sank the damn boat

Fellow New Mexican checking in; our food always incorporates a hatch chile sauce of one (or both) colors, and hot damn is it tasty! Having chile with every meal is probably the thing I miss about NM the most (after my parents, ofc). New Mexican food is its own category, separate from Mexican food.
