This syndicated comic strip ran in a bunch of main line newspapers yesterday. You have to understand it’s pretty wild for these big, mainstream comic strips to dip into politics if that’s not what they usually do. When Doonesbury went “too far”, he got moved to the opinion page in a bunch of papers.

And Love Is In The Bin became more valuable than Girl With Balloon at a subsequent auction, too, by a factor of 18x.

I’m pretty sure she was fired before quitting.

Context: the man was dying because the cops shot him.

Both options are better than private event spaces, which a lot of them are

The Syrian deployments were covered by the 2001 AUMF. But that AUMF has finally been repealed now. It would be a serious escalation in claimed presidential powers to send ground forces into anything longer than approximately Grenada.

Unless the car is governed at 325, it seems more likely that the telemetry stream dropped out for a bit, then came back. When no data packets were received, the client program just kept repeating the same stale values to keep the graphs going.

It’s cheaper and easier to do it that way than to program graphics that describe “no telemetry received” into the graphs.

Gumbo is a soup that is thickened with dark roux, and usually contains okra (also a thickener). I say “usually” because I understand some people omit okra or make filé gumbos or what have you. The word “gumbo” comes from the word for okra in various West African languages.

The choice of meats, proteins, and other ingredients is arbitrary. Throw in whatever you’ve got. More kinds of stuff is usually better. Chicken, sausage, and seafood are popular.

In Gentoo, you have to compile the kernel

This is not true any more. Gentoo provides sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-bin as an option.

And just what happens when the network goes down? Some kind of degraded operating mode? Does the car just slam the brakes regardless of what it’s doing?

It helps that DC 3 has an unpressurized cabin. In modern airliners, fatigue puts an upper limit on the total number of up and down cycles the airframe can ensure.

For me 1.0 only means that I’ve delivered the software to a paying customer.

They’re F15s, the older tech, and the American pilots were probably taken completely by surprise by the Kuwaiti attack.

Eh, the fucking cellular modems in my car that stream the camera data for training can be used to track me. Hell, the anti theft tracker that I paid money for can be used to track me.

They don’t like the U.S. either, as they believe that they are an imperialist power that wants to take advantage of the Middle East. That is one reason that the United States deems Iran an enemy.

In 1953, the CIA and MI6 effectively ended representative democracy in Iran when they backed a coup d’etat that deposed Iranian prime minister Mohammed Mosadegh. Mosadegh had tried to audit the books of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (which later became a division of BP).

The 1953 coup resulted in the Shah of Iran, Reza Pahlavi, ruling autocratically and with heavy support from the United States. This status continued until 1979, when an Islamist revolution deposed the Shah and installed the Islamist government led by a clerical Supreme Leader that exists today.

In 2013, the CIA released declassified documents that showed that the CIA planned and carried out the 1953 coup using all kinds of abhorrent tactics, including bribery of public officials, astroturfed paid protesters, and false flag operations.

So hopefully that explains why the US is “the great Satan” to Iran, and why Iran keeps spouting “death to USA” rhetoric.

Before he puts boots on the ground in Iran, he’s got to put boots on the staging ground somewhere in the theater. Unlike strategic bombing, invasions don’t happen from Missouri.

It’s still extremely unusual for district judges to title a section of their order “Final Notice”.

Normally, if they’re gonna invade shit, they stage the invasion forces, meaning tanks and grunts, at least in the theater.

All I’ve heard about is two carrier groups, which is a lot, but it’s not going to invade anything. I also heard that one of the carriers deployed with broken shitters, so that’s got to be going great.

Maybe not exactly the same, but Bodhi Linux is an Ubuntu derivative that develops the Moksha desktop environment based on the Enlightenment window manager.

It would have been really helpful if Steve Patterson could have cited a case number or a caption or something.
