Edit - aww I think I irritated the tankies

Nah, I think you’re missing the parts where this is how things go downhill.

For example:

very different from being thrown into a jail or executed.

ICE. Right now.

They have every right to say that about the US

People are being rejected at the border for less (and specifically about Israel for now)

where the government will happily throw you and your family behind bars for saying something even approaching a bad opinion of government action.

The WH pardoned insurrectionists, is considering pardoning kidnappers, and threatening prosecution whenever someone disagrees with anything they say.

… So its not just tankies who will take issue with what you’ve said, but also those who think people should be treated like people, genocide is terrible, and individual rights and freedoms exist for everyone, and not just the wealthy.

I’m sure they do what all huge corporations do.

Make shit up and then say “oops, sorry, here’s a tiny fraction of the profits we made keeping that money for so long as a fine teehee”.

can we really blame folks for choosing a fast death?

Yes.

One option has opportunity, the other is… This horseshit.

Yes, I will absolutely blame any accelerationist, every time.

Edit: If you think more people getting more hurt is OK because it might result in a more left future later, just fucking block me now please. And also gfy.

Insurrectionists? Fucking definitely. Rioters? Too light, but I’ll let it pass.

But protestors? Absolutely fucking not.

I dont think I’d put a man with decades of corps of engineering experience in the category of being without any knowledge or understanding. He had a pretty significant hand in the Manhattan project because of his experience (including the creation of the pentagon), and specifically contributed to the Manhattan project in terms of raw materials, site selection, even making selections on isotope separation based on his prior experience and the requirements around it.

I don’t think you’re giving him enough credit. He is precisely the kind of person who understood the implications of different resources being used, how different methods would impact progress, etc.

He’s a great example of understanding the issues around the decisions being made, not just making a selection from a menu of options.

Thats the knowledge being discussed. Calling it “just administrative” is ignoring huge amounts of what Groves had in-depth knowledge of.

They need to understand the implications of what each expert is recommending.

They absolutely need to be capable of understanding the materials.

Edit: Missing letters, thanks android keyboard

That is depressingly accurate.

They need to understand the materials they are provided.

It is necessary. Calling the head of HHS just an administrative position is part of the problem here.

Not really, no.

Tasers can be really fucking dangerous to people. Same with rubber bullets.

Just because its publicly called “non-lethal” doesn’t mean they haven’t caused a lot of people to die.

Propylene glycol and vegetable glycerol, which is what I said in the comment you replied to.

They are not oils.

I think you’re misunderstanding - weed vapes can use oil (and more, such as dry flower), but nic vapes are not oil based.

So only weed vapes would use an oil. Not that weed vapes are exclusively oil. Based on your reply I am assuming thats what’s being confused here.

In general, no. In terms of specific policies as an AG, there were some.

I’d say she’s a centrist, with some progressive policies and some regressive. Just my opinion obviously.

Without government regulation in a specific area <> anarchist.

Let’s not confuse things.

At that point, that grid connection will be the least of anyone’s worries. The storm in Quebec in… 1990? Ish. tripped breakers, and shut things down for like a day.

A storm on the scale youre talking about I am pretty sure would wipe out satellites (maybe even take them down due to atmospheric drag?), impact cables other than power like copper laid for internet and phone, etc. Grid-connected power or not you’d be severely impacted and potentially at risk.

It released, but for the prior version of KDE, not current.

That said, take a look at Application Dashboard, Plasma Drawer, and maybe Rocket but I don’t think its been updated in a few years.

Got it, at that point (extremely high voltage) you’d need suppression at the panel. Which I would hope people have inline, but not expect like an LVD.

Unless I’m missing something here, thats what an LVD should do, and anyone grid-connected with solar should have.

Flowing/coming together.

I think what they are referring to are docs where pieces are explained individually, but not in a consistent or cohesive way, obfuscating use.

Misinformation back 'round yet again.

Side note, why does he always look like he’s having trouble pooping?

Started with slack, hopped around for a few years as new distros began to pop up. Stopped using Gnome after… We’ll call it a philosophical disagreement with a Gnome developer. The main issue persists, so I still won’t use it.

Eventually landed back on Debian, and I stay there with a mix of Debian based (proxmox), Debian stable, and one box running Sid for testing/reporting issues. I have two “main” desktops, deb stable and arch.

Most have no GUI, except for my main desktopss, a laptop, and the one running Sid, all are KDE.

I’m pretty well settled on the Debian side, arch is a more recent bit of fun. I may move the arch box to something else at some point, but the Debian boxes are basically here to stay.
