State govts can mobilize their national guard. The guard is the only military component that can be “deployed” on American soil for combat or civil support like riot control or disaster relief
Active duty and reserve bases exist in the US of course but are generally forbidden from being used for combat operations or enforcing domestic policies on US soil. It’s called Posse Comitatus
Idk why but when I see deleted by creator I think it’s funny to imagine God personally zapping it from existence but they still leave that so everyone knows it was them
sometimes you just don’t want to see the dumb post you made at 2am
My sister read the new Hunger Games book and was dying to talk about it, so I just started it after finishing book 3 of The Expanse
It it was my choice I would try to learn the language of the culture I’m most interested in
It seems like everyone wants to get on board and try it in case it takes off.
If it works they want to be the first to get really good at it and if it doesn’t the normal search engines are still there to fall back on.
At the moment (for LLM’s) it feels like the 3DTV hype. A lot of cool technologies that were expensive and ultimately not worth it for a lot of people. Maybe that will change as time goes on.
So that’s where madam comes from
High risk high reward I guess. And it varies a lot because some are super hard core with latin and all, and some are pretty relaxed with it
In theory you’re not supposed to have pre-marital sex (it probably happens all the time) and dating would tend to be more serious than casual. Going steady vs hooking up. So yeah I imagine having a relationship not work out carries more weight
But once you get past that you get a long lasting marriage, a family and all the positives that come with that
This guy knows what he’s talking about
Personally I get more of a reaction from smelling diesel exhaust and smoke at the same time
I’ve never associated dead people smells with food though.
Say what you want about their morals but the music is a vibe
Most cell towers have generators but only about 2-3 days of fuel. So you might have ways to charge your phone but it might not have a network to connect to
You don’t need a cell signal to get a GPS location so having some offline maps like OrganicMaps or OSMand can still be useful
Nope! Watching a movie about Thor or something is fine. It only doesn’t work when you begin to worship Thor over God, which breaks the first commandment
Yep, and all US Citizens have the same rights and access to the same stuff.
Like anything else you can’t expect your political opponents to do the hard work for you.
If people suddenly want to get into 2A stuff, good! They unironically should to go buy a rifle and/or pistol, some related equipment, learn and get good. From there you are free to do what you’re willing to live with.
The US mil will certainly be negatively effected in the short term if China were to cut/be cut from manufacturing. This substack article is by a retired US navy/NATO officer who explains it better than I can, but the short answer is a LOT of very important munitions, vessels and equipment have chinese semiconductors in them

And that system is AWESOME and I wish some highways in the US did the same. I fear it would devolve into a regulations nightmare after bubba in his rusted dodge rattles to peices trying to break 80mph.
Flat open highway in between cities in Kansas? Go for it!
But it’s kind of like the US and guns. It’s a cultural ability that is statistically proven to be dangerous and can be seen as too big of a risk for even the most responsible ordinary people to enjoy, and reckless people put the whole activity in question.
That is the kind of speed it takes to get a 747 into the air on takeoff.
Say you rolled down a back window of a car and stuck your head out (not recommended) you would feel wind so strong it would max out typhoon and hurricane scales, similar to an EF4 Tornado. The skin of your face flaps like fabric and seeing and breathing is very difficult, as seen here
There was a movie I found a while ago called The Train made in the 60s. It’s about (you guessed it!) a train. It has a full load of stolen French artwork headed for Nazi Germany to be sold.
Aside from the immense cultural value the money could also be used to fund a whole division’s worth of equipment so the French Resistance is tasked with stopping it, ideally without blowing it up. They also have to mark the car roofs to keep allied strafing runs from destroying them.
I had never heard of it but it was surprisingly awesome. There is tense sabotage, full on practical effects air raids and train derailments, railroad repair shown with real equipment etc. Not the best ever imo but I enjoyed it
Do bathrooms count? 😅
Sometimes I just take a while and read on my phone
Many people I know agree with deporting illegal immigrants and see it as a problem that had been simply ignored for far too long. I found an article talking about deportation flights as early as 2023 (I’ll try to find and link it here, and here’s one from 2024) so it’s not brought on by the Trump admin, but he greatly expanded the scale and publicity.
There are disagreements though, mostly with how it’s being carried out. If the agents are unidentifiable as feds some day someone is going to fight back, or a third party will intervene thinking they are getting mugged.
And there is a big lack of due process to make sure those arrested actually meet the criteria for deportation. No way they are all 100% legit with no mistakes. If everything is legit more due process and transparency shouldn’t be an issue if your case is solid.
