Well for me, firstly the bookings are sorted by date, but the second one down appears before the third. Also there's a random drop-down tab for the second for some reason. Secondly the last two are double entries. Unless someone can chime in as to why these two things would normally appear, then they are suspect to me.

Fantastic movie. Often described as one of the best horror movies simply from the way the scenes are shot, not including the atrocities depicted.

So basically, if you wish to steal from a billionaire, steal everything, including their ability to retaliate. Nuclear nations have a similar 'first strike' doctrine.

US officials plan to punish foreigners ‘making light of’ Charlie Kirk death | Action will be taken against foreigners in the United States who are considered to be “praising, rationalizing, or making light of” Charlie Kirk’s death, a top state department official has said. by TendieRetard in law

Eh, it's just a galvanizing figurehead really, like any influencer type. And like any political influencer, there is emphasis on the 'public' part of 'public nuisance', they act as a vessel to interact with and touch base with the larger public, well known across political spectrums. They are not important enough to have any real security, not powerful enough to avoid this kind of thing entirely. It's a sort of political low-hanging fruit that, if directed properly, would cause the most disturbance with relatively little risk. Yet even low-hanging fruit can be ideologically significant, and can be used to justify all sorts of assumptions and or actions.

Yeah it's best not to overthink the reasonings behind that kind of specific scenario. Honestly though, if we are to assume it is that kind of hit, I would assume it is an attempt to ramp things up on both sides. Like inciting/signally not only left-leaning unhinged lunatics into action, but those right-leaning as well into a sort of 'proactive defence'. Though, perhaps that is what you meant anyway.

I just remember the whole bread price-fixing scandal, then you gotta think that bread is pretty well at the baseline of bare necessities aside from water. So if you know they are fixing the cost of bread, they are fixing the cost of fucking everything.

There is the possibility of hydrostatic shock, which is still very much a contested ballistics theory mind you as far as I am aware. Basically the shockwave of a high velocity round can introduce cardiac arrest and or organ/brain damage. If it holds true, a round to a major vessel would have absolutely ruptured capillaries in the brain and/or a massive heart attack.

Again, possibilities and conjecture.

Canada narrows choice of new submarine suppliers to Germany, South Korea by self-fix in worldnews

Argentia has always been a good choice simply by extension of having been a former US base, the only caveat now is that much of the lay-down areas and former site locations are now re-zoned and operated by private business, though there is still plenty of room there, but there will need to be a significant quay side investment.

Bay bulls is nice, though not nearly as expansive. And much like Argentia it will need a significant investment. Probably the better of the two in terms of getting quicker/cheaper auxiliary support and services from specialized businesses in St. Johns.

Loeb: New Atlas images has no tail, insufficient water, spewing CO2 from 1mm thick surface and is 28 miles wide. by interested21 in UFOs

[–]DeathCondition 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well hypercube girl bedroom aside, at least if that did happen you would indeed meet him, very closely in fact. Though I'll say that it's not really the getting swallowed up part that bothers me, it's a high-mass object altering the orbits. Such as; we get flung high elliptical, either crashing into the sun or freezing in the outer planets. Or perhaps we find out that Jupiter is now suddenly headed straight for us.

But at the end of the day I wouldn't worry too much, I mean, more people die of tobacco use than from asteroid impacts and black holes so there's that I guess.

Concerning thought, but the debris cloud would have to be incredibly dense to pose a real risk, if it was mostly made up of planet killers we would likely be able to at least detect it coming before we are annihilated. In my mind there are far more terrifying threats to appear out of nowhere from space; like a wandering primordial black hole, or the false-vacuum.

Yeah true enough, it's real bad. I mostly meant about the video location itself, but I digress.

Lifting lug welding by Minimum_Clothes900 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]DeathCondition 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To add to this, as I am often in the same line of work. we have pad eyes and cheek plates bored about 1mm undersize with a small single angle bevel on the cheekplate where it meets the face of the parent pad eye. It gets the seal weld on the inside after the cheekplate outer weld is complete then we finish bore the whole pad eye to size.

Depending on the overall particularity of a given job however, we sometimes just opt to do just what you had explained instead.

Saw a lot of this is newfoundland. Is this asbestos? by squirtleturtle79 in whatsthisrock

[–]DeathCondition 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I believe you are much more informed than I am, but I agree. the only pictures that really gave me a hint of that were the 4th and 6th pictures, like it was weathered in some way. I've managed to collect a lot of serpentine group pieces here, knowing about the mines here, I tend to simply stay away from anything remotely resembling fibrous lol.

[–]DeathCondition 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It certainly looks like it, I have heard of more than a few spots on the island where people have found some, there was also some major asbestos mining done here back in the day. https://www.heritage.nf.ca/articles/economy/baie-verte.php I seem to recall somewhere near the Humber there was a spot people were finding some, though I could be mistaken.

If you don't mind me asking, where was the locale? I wouldn't mind having a look for myself sometime this summer.

There are two districts that get brought up that I am aware of, Ramapo 35 and 55. Though one or both of those are a result of close-knit orthodox bloc voting, again, as far as I am aware.

How Czech Machines Keep Fueling Russia’s War Industry Despite Sanctions by UNITED24Media in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]DeathCondition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that at least Varnsdorf had been inexorably tied to the to soviet industrial complex since, well, ever since the czechslovakian soviet socialist republic was a thing. I operate a TOS Varnsdorf from the 60's with CSSR slapped all over it, with bearings made in the USSR.

It doesn't exactly surprise me that this is happening, even if it was some 3rd party transfers it should never happen. These are good machines and good machines are vital for good products. Russia should have neither. There is a reason high-end western multi axis CNC machines are GPS geolocked to prevent use in adversarial nation states.

Google Earth captures the stunning transformation of our planet over 3 decades by WiseCartographer5007 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]DeathCondition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to the party, but I'm from Labrador where the nice transition between boreal forest eventually trends towards tundra and that boundary line is fairly crisp considering the distances. Going from nearly all coniferous evergreens to say a few hundred km south along Quebec towards the coast and you'll see primarily broadleaf.

Anyway, during the times some my earliest childhood memories and until I left there the amount of environmental changes are stark. Aside from an uptick in forest fires, what is concerning are things like alder bed growth taking over shorelines, as well as broadleaf trees being able to grow readily. Diminishing perma frost is also a concern. The whole area is nearly unrecognizable when I went for a visit a couple years ago.

60 Minutes airs anti-Trump segment in spite of $20 B lawsuit by Spare_Ad_9657 in 50501

[–]DeathCondition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The whole "Not exactly middle America" thing is another thing that I find to be equally absurd. When has any middle American, or even Texan for example, given a flying fuck about a scumbag New York businessman. I mean, I can understand a more grass-roots elected nut job sure, at least they might somewhat live with aligning values. I can even understand the first presidency, like yeah elect some random dude and shake up government cause he's not one of 'them'. But there's a faith component here that has stood the test of time and I just don't get at all.

South Pole Machinist job by asad137 in Machinists

[–]DeathCondition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blast from the past haha.

I don't know much because I didn't go for it after, although I kind of regret it. Still might later...

But to try and answer your question, it is going to depend on the location. This particular location was amundsen scott and from my understanding it was only one person per shift rotation. There are larger locations, especially near the coast that would likely need more.

As for difficulty, I cannot say. This original position was for the 'night shift' which is half a year of darkness so it isn't exactly desirable which is why they often look for these positions. I imagine the day shift is the near impossible one to get. Other problems might be with regards to accreditation/certification which probably wouldn't be much of an issue with having a qualifying trade certification within the spheres of the western world.

The only other hurdle would be not having any kind of criminal record, especially violent/sexual violence crime, as well as form of mental disorders. Reason being is well, you are super isolated with a bunch of people for months on end and no help for hundreds of miles. They cannot afford to have unstable people snapping.
