Even if someone has used it only once, even if they just tried it, they are ineligible for military service.
Well that’s just false. You’ll get denied if you pop hot on a drug test at MEPS, but they don’t tend to care if you’ve smoked in the past, except as a barometer for if you’ll smoke in the future. And, like almost everything else in the DoD, there’s a waiver form you can fill out for it too
Ordinarily, I might agree. However, this suspension is because musk refused to appoint a legal representative for the company in Brazil, IAW Brazilian law. That’s a reasonable ask for a company that’s actively doing business in the country. If a billionaire* crybaby refuses to follow the law, then he gets to deal with the consequences. FA meet FO.
There are some commercial rolls I’ve seen in the US that seem to be a happy medium…the holder itself in the stall has a thin plastic rod for the TP to go on, and the rolls have a very small opening in the center (and no cardboard) to go on that rod.
A “benefit” of using RAF helos is it the flight hours. Pilots typically need a certain number of flight hours every month to maintain their certs, so they’ll likely be flying anyways. Having them fly senior ministers around instead of other training flights technically is free, as the flights were going to happen anyways.
Not only just to trap Trump, but also to coalesce everyone behind a successor candidate. Because the only thing worse than Biden staying in the race would have been him dropping out and then a dozen Democrat candidates popping up, vying for the nomination, barely 5 months before the election. Further infighting would have handed the election to the weirdos.
As much as I detest SpaceX and the literal child in charge of the company, their craft at least has a track record of safely bringing astronauts to and from the ISS. Boeing doesn’t even have that.
DOW II is perfect for co-op with a friend. You have much less to keep track of, and it’s a good time playing through it!
But also phrased in such a way that anti-vaxxers can’t hide behind some flimsy excuse and endanger us all
There’s a not-insignificant chance it was the only non-painted exhibit in the entire museum. Everything else I saw was a painting…
On a side note, highly recommend the National Portrait Gallery if you’re ever in DC.
Last time I went to the National Portrait Gallery in DC, the Hall of Presidents directly abutted the Civil Rights area.
Trumps presidential portrait (a photo, not a painting, as distinguished by the medium being listed as “inkjet printer” on the plaque) was on one side of a freestanding wall on the center of the room, and maybe 30ft away was a very large portrait of John Lewis.
The impression given was that Trump was losing a staring contest with John Lewis, which felt very apt.
You can 100% get a clearance if you’ve smoked within 7 years of applying for one. Hell, you can get a clearance if you smoked within the last year. You just have to a) disclose the fact, b) be able to show mitigations as to why smoking weed won’t be an issue while you have a clearance, and then c) not do it while you have a clearance. It ends up being not so much about the fact that you smoke weed as it is that you’re not following the law, and that’s the real clearance risk (from their POV). Getting a clearance is really about proving you’re trustworthy to the investigator.
After a point, yes. However, that point comes when the sensor you are adding is more than the second type in the system. The correct answer is to work into your algorithm a weighting system so the car can decide which sensor it trusts to not kill the driver, i.e. if the LIDAR sees the broadside of a trailer and the camera doesn’t, the car should believe the LIDAR over the camera, as applying the brakes and speeding into the obstacle at 60mph is likely the safer option.
I’m not particularly sure how it works in the UK, but in the US, the two main ways of showing mastery of a subject to an employer are either having relevant experience in the field (a portfolio of coding projects for a software engineer, or design projects for a mechanical, or just having relevant experience on the resume) or holding a degree from an accredited university.
MIT (and several other higher education schools in the US) offer course materials online for free. The tradeoff, of course, is you don’t get a degree, but as far as teaching yourself the topic, it’s not a bad way to go. You could then work on projects that let you apply that new knowledge, and show those as proof of competency.
Or the good ol’ fake it till you make it, and just lie outright on your resume, banking on the fact that everyone is useless right away, and they’ll teach you what you need to know pretty quickly. (I don’t recommend this, but it is technically an option)
Is this the part where we start up the rumours again that Mike Johnson is anti-MAGA by trying to protect the FBI from Trump vigilantes by only blurring out the faces of informants, and just seeing what happens? Chaos for the sake of chaos?
Most of the time, watch band sizes are given by the width of the strap (i.e 20mm or 22mm). You (or any jeweler) can measure that dimension on the watch face, and then it should be super easy to find a compatible replacement. For the most part, the locking mechanism for attaching the band to the watch is very standardized (spring loaded barrel pin), and while they can be fiddly, generally they are fairly easy to work with.
Whether Vietnam or the Philippines has a more solid legal claim is, frankly, up to them to figure out. The country who has zero legal claim , however, is China. So they can fuck right off.
Nuclear is 100% the future. It provides the highest energy density (i.e. it produces the most kwh/square mile), and is also the safest and most environmentally friendly form of power generation we have right now. The downside is the amount of time it takes to bring reactors online. Make no mistake, the time cost is a feature, not a bug. There are phenomenally stringent requirements and QC checks that must be met in order to ensure public and environmental safety. However, this also means that nuclear is not the solution right now. What we should be doing is constructing wind, solar, tidal, etc. plants to transition away from fossil fuels in the immediate future, while simultaneously beginning construction on nuclear plants, so we can eventually transition to those.
The really funny part of this whole thing is that I never knew about the rumor you mentioned until this whole thing happened. Streisand effect much?
Wait, so the Gays™ were coming from inside the house???
Baseball cap at a baseball game over the weekend, or a hard hat at work last night, depending if you count that as a hat
