I kept waiting for Season two to start, the whole thing felt like an introduction.
I guess that is because the show was juggling way too many different storylines for 8 episodes.
Agreed as adaptations go, they fucking nailed the details on everything.
(Sugarland, Texas) A ruling Monday upheld the US military’s claim that their “Drone from Home” program - where civilians pilot military drones and hunt Iranian citizens - is both within the bounds of US federal law, and that the pilots are independent contractors, settling a separate claim by activist participants in the program that they should receive rank, benefits, and other perks “for their contribution to the war effort.”
“Naturally we felt the courts would side with us,” said council for the government. “We already use civilian contractors for a lot of missions in foreign areas of interest. It’s a small step from paying these contractors for work in these areas, to allowing civilians to pay a fee to pilot drone aircraft for us, and for them to receive the thrill of helping the US government fulfill its mission, whatever the president says that mission is each day.”
The program, originally a recruiting tool allowing future enlisted - already signed but awaiting boot camp - to perform missions, has expanded into a $30 million per year profit center for the military. Anyone who can afford the $1,000 fee and present at least credible evidence of US citizenship, can take control of a US military drone for 4 hours. “The kids really love it,” said one recruiter. “We’d let them try a demo, and then tell them we had the real thing if they signed the papers. Our recruiting numbers were maxed for months until they opened up general play.”
Opponents of the program cite the poor security of the program, as well as the questionable legality of hunting other humans with robots, as reasons the program should be shut down. “We’ve already seen cases of children spending thousands of dollars on Roblox,” said one advocate. “What if your husband got your credit card and did the same thing?”
But not all Americans feel the program lacks merit. Leo Sturbgetter, a cow detangler in Kansas, echos many Americans by saying “tell me what you want for $1,000. I don’t have a lot of limits, I need to get back in there.”
The citizens of Iran declined to leave cover to comment.
I ate it, no lie.
JFC GN has really gone full YT clickbait thumbnail.
The update came with missing or corrupted files.
Nope. Been a disaster every time.
Try an online Jupiter notebook. It solves most of your issues.
There is a new merge on the Wayland GitLab repo. This new merge (of an old pull request) adds xdg-session-management protocol to Wayland. This is a big development and certainly a feature Linux users will enjoy.
As per the brief message in merge request:
For a variety of cases it’s desirable to have a method for negotiating the restoration of previously-used states for a client’s windows. This helps for e.g., a compositor/client crashing (definitely not due to bugs) or a backgrounded client deciding to temporarily destroy its surfaces in order to conserve resources.
This protocol adds a method for managing such negotiation and is loosely based on the Enlightenment “session recovery” protocol which has been implemented and functional for roughly two years.
In simpler words, session recovery is finally coming to Wayland.
Congrats for your experience.
Thanks, it feels great.
Ice grip improves by up to 10 percent and wet grip up to 5 percent
They’ll be stupid expensive and the company will likely fail. But, I suppose for those who like to throw their money around, this will be fun to show off while they last.
Ya that doesn’t feel like a ton of extra grip honestly
Yeah. I agree with that person. Enjoy your evening, pal
That’s true. Thanks. Now I’m sad again.
Great news, but can we talk about that photo? Like did they tarnish a 2080 specifically for this picture or did it happen on accident? Or is it photoshop?
