Trump to install loyalists to reshape U.S. foreign policy on China, NATO and Ukraine (www.reuters.com)

Donald Trump in a second term would likely install loyalists in key positions in the Pentagon, State Department and CIA whose primary allegiance would be to him, allowing him more freedom than in his first presidency to enact isolationist policies and whims.

e_t_,

You can be loyal to Donald Trump OR the United States, but not both.

I got a copy of Star Trek: Rebel Universe many years ago at a thrift shop. It came on both 3.5" and 5.25" floppy disks.

e_t_,

If Trump is elected, watch him cancel this program and announce a program to replace all water pipes with lead ones, just to spite Biden.

e_t_,

That sounds an awful lot like obstruction of justice.

Female friends often tell me that their male partners just aren’t as good at this work as they are––that they do it partly because it would cause more stress to hand over the tasks.

At work, I'm training a new coworker. He's been assigned to create some diagrams that we need for compliance reporting. He hasn't made them the same way I would have. I've been tempted to produce my own diagrams the way I would want them, but I have steeled myself against that impulse. His diagrams are acceptable to the higher-ups and they're not wrong in any respect, they're just not how I would have made them. I need to learn to be OK with that.

I ordered several flavors of tea for my cousin.

e_t_,

I looked for a sampler, but my cousin dislikes most black teas and all the samplers I saw had some. So, I ended up buying 20-teabag boxes of different flavors.

Offered purely as an example, these fruit and herbal teas are naturally caffeine-free because they contain no actual tea plants: https://www.britishbrands.com/fruit-and-herbal-teas-s/2128.htm

I've heard people express the opinion that society is likely to collapse in the next several decades. If that's a genuinely held belief and not just an edgy thing to say, then saving money for a future in which that money will be worthless makes no sense.

I think Sisko's threat is to start collecting rent Quark technically always owed but that Sisko had chosen to overlook because of the benefits the bar brings to the promenade, especially in the immediate aftermath of the Cardassian withdrawal.

And they even work even when a dampening field has shut down all power systems on the ship.

e_t_,

You should really only need inertial dampeners when changing velocity. You only go splat when the ship's velocity is significantly different from yours. If it slows down before you do, you splat on the forward bulkhead. If it speeds up faster than you, you splat on the aft bulkhead.

I agree there are people who get into trouble with credit cards, but 99% sounds like a made-up number.

The EPA Has Found More Than a Dozen Contaminants in Drinking Water but Hasn’t Set Safety Limits on Them (www.propublica.org)

The inaction on regulating contaminants — including those that likely cause cancer, reproductive or developmental issues — found in the water of millions of Americans illustrates shortcomings in the U.S. response to environmental threats, say experts.

e_t_,

Water is the source of all life. Seven tenths of this Earth's surface is water. Why, do you realize that 70% of you is water? And as human beings, you and I need fresh, pure water -- to replenish our precious bodily fluids. Are you beginning to understand?

If I had a nickel for every time a Genesis device was used to reconstruct a nebula into a planet (instead of its intended purpose of terraforming an existing planet), I'd have two nickels-- which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

e_t_,

Is this the first time we've seen Starfleet deploy a kinetic missile?

e_t_,

Stars have a lot of mass. The Sun loses almost 5 billion tons of mass every second and has enough fuel to last another 4-5 billion years. Adding a single ton of anything would make no appreciable difference. If you were to drop Jupiter into the Sun, it would have an effect, but Jupiter is only 0.09% the Sun's mass, so the effect would be small.

e_t_,

You'd need to smoosh seventy five Jupiters together to make a star.

There's an old saying in Tennessee—I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee—that says, 'Fool me once, shame on... shame on you. Fool me—you can't get fooled again.

At some point when I was young, I came to believe you could be either smart or athletic. I chose smart. Now, I think that was a false choice, causing me to subconsciously give up on my body.

[Analysis] Americans' faith in institutions has been sliding for years. The chaos in Congress isn't helping (apnews.com)

WASHINGTON (AP) — For many Americans, the Republican dysfunction that has ground business in the U.S. House to a halt as two wars rage abroad and a budget crisis looms at home is feeding into a longer-term pessimism about the country’s core institutions....

Special counsel urges judge to deny Trump’s Jan. 6 claim of immunity (web.archive.org)

U.S. prosecutors urged a federal judge Thursday to reject former president Donald Trump’s claim of absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions he took in office, saying that he is “not above the law” and that his indictment for allegedly conspiring to block the results of the 2020 election should not be...

Remember when CPAC proudly proclaimed "We are all domestic terrorists" ? They weren't lying.

The only reason I can think of is that Republicans are probably not capable of electing a new Speaker (who is not McCarthy) before the 45-day reprieve expires on government funding. The House needs to be functional in order to pass a budget.

e_t_,

It is becoming increasingly clear who the speaker of the House already works for and it’s not the Republican Conference

Once can serve either the Republican party or the citizens of the United States, but not both.

It's hardly worthy of praise to perform the bare minimum of office in avoiding a government shutdown, but Speaker McCarthy met that low bar while Representative Gaetz failed to.

e_t_,

To me, that image looks like an example of indexing, not promotion.

If the pedophile site uses Lemmy software, an index of sites using Lemmy software would include it.

Is there additional information that would tilt the scale toward this being promotion rather than simple indexing?

[News] Attorney General Garland says in interview he'd resign if Biden asked him to take action on Trump (apnews.com)

WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General Merrick Garland said in an interview that aired Sunday that he would resign if asked by President Joe Biden to take action against Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump. But he doesn’t think he’ll be put in that position....

e_t_,

It would be inappropriate for Biden to request a specific action regarding Trump, but the overall wording gives the impression that Garland intends to be idle in the face of Trump's criminality.

[News] Republicans reject own funding bill, US government shutdown imminent (www.reuters.com)

WASHINGTON, Sept 29 (Reuters) - Hardline Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives on Friday rejected a bill proposed by their leader to temporarily fund the government, making it all but certain that federal agencies will partially shut down beginning on Sunday....

e_t_,

Why? Why don't these shutdowns sink political careers? If Ted Cruz had been properly tarred and feathered after his shutdown in 2013, maybe other Republicans would have gotten the memo that government shutdowns are not acceptable.

I thought it seemed like V'Ger's data storage attack, though V'Ger stored entire ships (even planets), leaving no debris.

In the end, American voters still appreciate a competent government that looks out for their financial futures.

Has the author met Republican voters? Competence isn't top of mind for them. They gleefully vote for obvious criminals and legislative terrorists.

Is there any media cataloging software in linux that automatically shows which files don't have 2 or more copies? (kbin.social)

I lost 2-3 hdd's due to old age and lost all data on them. Some other 2-3 hdd's make a lot of noise while in operation and probably failing. I use VVV to catalog the stuff and to see which files have 2-3 copies, i need to manually search each file name. It's really tedious. I was wondering if there is another program that does...

e_t_,

This is what RAID is for. Duplicate, or at least spread, data across multiple disks so that a failure of one disk doesn't result in data loss.

Apparently, "gigaquads" and "teraquads".

[News] DeSantis' redistricting map in Florida is unconstitutional and must be redrawn, judge says (apnews.com)

A Florida redistricting plan pushed by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis violates the state constitution and is prohibited from being used for any future U.S. congressional elections since it diminishes the ability of Black voters in north Florida to pick a representative of their choice, a state judge ruled Saturday....

Watch as the legislature flouts this ruling with no consequences.

I started learning Japanese recently. It's made me realizehow sloppy English is with vowel sounds.

Directly into the ground?

e_t_,

I recently replaced my opener in a similar situation. Mine's chain drive and I did reuse the existing chain. I'd be less confident reusing a belt; rubber degrades faster than metal. But, based on my experience, replacing just the belt or chain isn't much harder than replacing the motor unit. I had to loosen my chain considerably in order to get it around the new motors sprocket. At that point, it would have been just a few more turns of the tension screw to fully remove it.

e_t_,

Liftmaster and Chamberlain are the same company, so it's highly likely (though not guaranteed) that the parts are compatible.

Sorry MAGA, but your evidence is in another castle.
