Eh what blood got AFCIs in there? Green blood from Siemens and Eaton as far as I can tell

I think the goal with the Javelins was to try to fool the sensor making it think that the vehicle was taller than it is, causing the missile to fly too high, in top-down attack mode.

Not even this dirtbag likes Elon.

I dunno how much I buy that. America’s been going fasc for most of my adult life. Under Bush we had the patriot act, “enhanced interrogation,” “extraordinary rendition,” etc. Sure we didn’t have masked brownshirts pulling people off the streets (of America) yet but everyone could see where it was all going and people were incredibly upset.

The Putin and Xi-loving tankie seems to be an artifact of the internet. It’s the meme-internet trajectory of “haha” to “ha ha only serious” to “seriously.” It’s a way to revel in the base pleasures of the malevolent thug without having to be Pro-trump, Pro-America or Zionist.

That’s the funniest thing. Like, if you were an original Hungary-era tankie, at least you could say “the Soviet Union is the leader of the worldwide Communist movement, I believe what the SU says about itself.” But Putin’s Russia is explicitly not Communist or Socialist in any way. Putin’s ideology is inconsistent but his public statements are all basically imperial or “blood and soil” nationalism. How do they twist this guy into being a “comrade?”

Hexbear tankies really are something incredible. I’ve been around left-wing politics most of my life and in the real world I’ve met like one or two people actually like them. Difficult to understand where they all came from. I’m thinking maybe it’s a r/Pyongyang where it started as a joke and then they started taking it seriously.

“hype” is literally media attention

hype
1)
: publicity
especially : promotional publicity of an extravagant or contrived kind
all the hype before the boxing match

Mozilla executives are once again carrying water for Google.

If there is any doubt who they work for, watching them testify in defense of Google’s monopoly should be all you need.

I think this is a good sign at least that Ukraine has successfully stabilized the front and Putin sees no opportunities for advance. This was not something that was on the table this winter.

This is liberal cope.

I’ve seen tons of Bernie people from 2016 become Trupists. Several have become full-on groypers. The reason is clear: Bernie got curbstomped and these people are still looking for some other solution because they’re still precarious.

Liberals are still clinging to the basket of deplorables. They want to think that not being a liberal is a moral failing, or a sign of weak breeding or something. They can’t admit that all the punching left they’ve been doing over decades while scolding, preening, etc and sucking up to corporate elites they serve has created the terrifying right-wing moment that we’re in. And they’ll going to be smugly declaring themselves to be on the right side of history as they get thrown into the camps with the rest of us.

EDIT: by the way:

Leor completed her PhD as a Gates Scholar at the Department of Psychology

Yes, that is the “Gates” you’re thinking of.

Also she’s probably a criminal:

Leor was listed on Forbes 30 Under 30

They will edit Google Maps to show Canada and Greenland as part of the US, and Ukraine as part of Russia.

Historically Tesla’s security is as bad as DOGE’s. They got hacked a while back because they had an unsecured kubernetes control plane exposed to the internet. Apparently being owned by a [edit: seagull managing] drug addict isn’t good for opsec.

EDIT: I incorrectly used a medical term to describe Elon’s management style. Sorry everyone.

Don’t worry Tesla diamond hands: Trump will announce a “Strategic TSLA reserve buying scheme.”

Too many villains in our society, not enough heros.

the issue here is

The issue is Mozilla’s McKinsey CEO has decided to break the promise not to sell personal data.

If Firefox disappears. Mozilla isn’t Firefox, it’s the organization staffed with ad-tech and McKinsey ghouls and paid by Google to kill Firefox.

The equally hilarious thing is that currently they have the “never will” promise in the same codebase as the “definitely will” gated by a “TOU” flag, showing intent to violate the promise.

Well I’m not the ADL but yeah I’d say if, for instance, the NAACP decided that anti-black racism was equal to criticism of, say, Zimbabwe. And as long as a billionaire supported Zimbabwe’s government it’d be fine if he threw the white power sign at the presidential inauguration. That’s basically what you have with the ADL.

I wrote in “Palestine” for the president. It was the only option that wasn’t pro-genocide.
