Another president fond of coup d’état and authoritarianism! That was a fun read for me: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Óscar_R._Benavides

I don’t recall being given the option to vote on this.

I have been reading through this book on the matter: The Half Has Never Been Told: Slavery and the Making of American Capitalism by Edward E. Baptist https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/14894629-the-half-has-never-been-told

The descriptions of violence toward slaves is heavily discussed and is quite eye-opening to me, since this is not the version I was taught in school!

Any other insult around the facts of what he said or did would be much more helpful than this.

Sure, I just can’t help but imagine how I personally would react if this became common for all patients.

I think I would be offended if some robot came up to try and provide emotional support. Its fake, and reminds me that our society values profit over human life. This should not be normalized as a necessity due to missing money that is going to the pockets of administrators, owners, insurance, and whoever else…this is pathetic.

Nothing in the image itself, but someone else posted this link: https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/09/19/tear-gas-protesters-broadview-ice/

Curtis Evans, of Evanston, carries a U.S. flag through gas deployed by federal officers as they clear protesters from the entrance of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Broadview on Sept. 19, 2025. Evans said he was a Marine during President Ronald Reagan’s term. (Stacey Wescott/Chicago Tribune)

How can you tell? Just curious as a Marine veteran. We used to do jumping jacks and pushups in the gas room until the last man couldn’t take it anymore. Those were the days!

Edit: Oops nm, I found the source on this guy.

I pay extra for paramount+ ad free version and they still show me periodic ads. Its infuriating. And they are much louder than the show content, as a cherry on top. What an awful service.

Plus they will be working against our own people. When deployed to another country there is some mental disconnect happening that I don’t think will happen domestically.

Aside from tactics and training not working which I agree with, I don’t believe the majority will be motivated to be effective in any way.

Absolutely it. Happened to me standing for a memorial service. Lots of stories from military where this happens, and “don’t lock your knees” is often taught first thing.

Ya and there are many gaps. Or angle grinders can cut the lower part of the poles no problem.

Well of course, haven’t you seen the drivers training video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yco1deXOzN8

You are just insulting other people’s bodies using this type of response instead of attacking all the things Trump is actually doing wrong.

It will light up an indicator for each pan detected, so if 2 pans are on the stove you still need to activate the one you want. Assuming you don’t want both on.

I just bought one of these! First press on, then wait a second for the pan to be detected, then select the burner to turn on, then + which sets it to 5/10, then press + 5 more times for full power! The one with knobs was like double price…but hey the pan heats up quick while you are cursing at it.

Well I changed my nvidia settings from on demand to a lower value and rebooted Mint a few weeks ago. Then there was no display at all and several hours/days of searching led me to reinstall Linux again and I did not have good backups. There was probably an answer there, but my frustration with Linux is real!!! I still refuse to use anything else and flop between manjaro and mint. I think having proper system backups and a live USB ready to go is helpful…I’m much more defensive running Linux because I keep getting shitty surprises, but I still feel better about it over using windows.

Makes no sense at all! I just pulled 10 oz from a single plant in a 60x120cm cabinet. Guess you’ll have to smoke & eat the entire plant immediately!
