you're still unsure as to who's been providing the majority of the drones that russia uses to kill ukrainians in their sleep, huh

Trump is an immediate existential threat, as he was for the Million Americans who perished from COVID over two years due to a purposefully sandbagged and almost entirely useless pandemic response. Climate it really important, but there are more important things, and climate is not a winner trying to get the Christofascists to NOT vote for the Orange Hitler

that man chose to follow orders, to go along, and invade a foreign nation to kill it's citizens instead of saying no, it's wrong, i won't do that under any circumstances, so he got blown up with a washing machine tub on his head before he could kill any more ukrainians. you can feel badly for him if you like, i won't be.

ok. then you take your chances getting deaded by a drone with a washing machine tub on your head, in the dark, seeing nothing but metal

when that video went to static, it means it blew up, and it was hovering right over his tub head, so i'm guessing it got his neck, shoulders, chest, sternum, and belly. i'm guessing his head was still in one piece though, so "worked" is difficult to define

"conscripts" are still people with the power to choose what they will and what they will not do, if you choose to engage in a war of genocide for vladimir putin, pick up a gun, and shoot ukrainians protecting their out country, you're fucking foreit as a going concern in my book. you don't get to use the "well, they made me" excuse, you always have the choice in what you are willing to do, and what you are not

@downpunxx@fedia.io avatar

still a choice to get shot or shoot other people, there is always a fucking choice, always

yes, the angel of death passed over their homes. but how is an antisemitic attack, splashing blood or blood like substance over a jewish home, which was meant to terrorize them, coan be seen as the ultimate kindness? to invert the passover story when a jewish family is attacked by cowards is perverse and disgusting.

This coupled with the reports of "old school Hollywood" misogyny on set sounds as if FFC's dormant insanity from Apocalypse Now finally caught up and has had it's way with the ancient mariner, and that's sad thing

if you watched the video, your last point seems to be demonstrably untrue, as what hit us this week, the video author is saying, was the same size and category 5 solar emission that The Carrington Event was, and we didn't experience any disruption to our satelites, or electrical grid at all, probably because we were prepared for it, which is as interesting as it gets

They aren't allowing the Government onto their property to check the cattle, and the cattle themselves will be tested if they try to move them over state lines, so, if these chuckle heads are dairy farmers, the government simply needs to check every drop of milk product that's shipped off the farm before it goes to market/processors/distributors. Easy peasy.

lol what did we think was going to happen after so many months of republican dithering, and then a breakthrough appropriating billions in arms and funding? russia was just gonna take a nap? how were these armaments not ready day one second one, how were they not already staged on the ground in germany?

I am one with the Force, and the Force is with me

Obscure screw added so appliance cannot be disassembled ( lemmy.world )

Basic blender went bad (motor ran but spindle wasn't rotating). I wanted to disassemble to see if it could be repaired. Three of the four screws were Phillips head. I had to cut the casing open in order to discover why I couldn't unscrew the fourth. It was a slotted spanner.

hahahahahaha, about three years ago now, I bought a hunting knife from Amazon that came with a sheath which had a belt clip that was held on by one of these fucking screws.

at the time, i couldn't figure for the life of me what it was or if there was a tool for this so I went to Home Depot, bought a .99 cent flathead our of their bargain tubs, took it to their tool rental department where they also will cut metal for you if you ask nicely. had them make a notch in the top of the flathead, brought it home and after some filing got it to get in there and loosen up this devil screw top.

now i know it's called a U or H type screwdriver. my way was cheaper, but nice to know the real solution now.

Fascinating side of this story I hadn't even thought of until reading this.

I can't believe the FBI confiscated these poor bastards call phones, haven't already copied all the requisite logs and data to return them, and didn't immediately set them up with temporary ones, or allow them to retrieve their contact information, or let them onto shore, or even another boat, or anything.

These poor fuckers have been trapped on that ship for months now, and made to stay onboard while the Coast Guard literally blows off explosives and tons of steel from it's bow.

This is unbelievable (though completely believable). I'm gobsmacked.

Hope these guys are getting paid for every second they spend on the ship, and every second they spend until they are once again safely home.

it's that "should" that fills me with great joy and comfort

Smart. Even if there's nothing the Government and Democrats can legally do to stop these individuals and oil corporations from donating to Trumps re-election, within egregiously corrupt and simple ways currently allowed by the "corporations are people my friend" laws, it's a shot across the bow some might think twice about before propping up the Orange Hitler.

so says you, i say, we go after the fossil fuels, then the chemical product polluters and THEN see where we are with the methane. 14.5% of all emissions isn't nothing, but it aint the other 85.5% i say we tackle first. *** pirouette, and scene***

control via direct in person oversight and corporate real estate investment, that's it, that's the reason

@downpunxx@fedia.io avatar

sure, and the worth of "better" is determined by a company at any given time. any market, including the job market, is what people are willing to pay, and willing to let go of.
