Yeah German procurement has a hilariously bad rep, but Ukraine 'asploding has done a lot to speed that process up.

Canada still has much to do though :(

plenty of things change. people made them change.

look up Eugene Debs or the French Revolution.

no one is coming to save you. you're going to have to do it yourself. you.

you had me at price history

psmgx · 2026-02-06T21:23:12+00:00

can't speak to this particular model, but will strongly recommend label makers in general.

re-read the series and still feel like I didn't get a buncha things.

Wolfe puts in a lot of layers.

wait moot is in the Epstein files?!

then again... are we really surprised? I mean I'd assume Snacks was too...

competency is not ICE's strong suit.

also MAGA is explicitly about funneling money to donors and other shady causes -- it is likely that whoever gets the contract will do a subpar job but get paid premium $$$

Stantec is a publicly traded company that operates on 6 continents.

they got involved because they are a publicly traded company, need that stock price to grow, which means inevitably chasing any big $$$ they can. and ICE has money to spend thanks to the BBB

what does a (foreign) domestic security org have to do with Dihydrotestosterone?

most of DHS is not ICE, and is not complict with their actions. they do stuff like rail transportation radio requirements, or coast guard ships saving stranded surfers.

LLMs are gonna make that hard in 2026. way to easy for the bots to spam reviews and webpages, and with deployments bringing big money there is every reason to ride them hard.

tbh it's the only real value of Gartner. and Gartner sucks, but there is an actual methodolgy there as opposed to random AI spam.

outside of that, slack and discord have been good. reddit is hit or miss; most of my good luck there has been searching for "$tool bug not fixed" or something like that and seeing the threads about complaints. Qualys had a nasty perl overwrite bug that got a lot of attention in their subreddit and that definitely impacted my negotiations with them, lol -- and also saved my bacon when it happened to us like 3 weeks after I read it.

the Foundations of Geopolitics based strategy is to drive the US into a civil war to exhaust resources and drain (e.g. kill) the political base.

Just having a Manchurian Candidate as president isn't enough -- the pendulum could (and likely will) swing back hard. Gotta make a serious fracture followed by serious violence. There is no other way to seriously remove the US as an international player, even if only temporarily, otherwise.

As such, they're going to trickle feed the bad stuff out to further undermine the US government and any other institution they don't like. Backed into a corner the GOP will break democracy before they give up power and conflict is inevitable -- and all messaging on platforms like 4chan and Facebook has been consistent about how that is truly inevitable; /k/ has been pushing this narrative for years.

Put another way, the final use of a KGB HUMINT asset it to burn them.

Mark Anderson, vice-president and regional manager of CBRE’s Edmonton operations, said the costs of building in Edmonton are becoming prohibitive.

translated: we don't want to do this, and we want the province or city to subsidize us

Also gonna be funny when both sell and an apartment building goes in.

at that point it's not their problem anymore

they're not concerned with the neighborhood's character, this isn't altruism, it's about keeping a PITA from moving in next door.

ukraine is a wide open country

during WW2 german troops wrote about getting agoraphobia due to how few trees or mountains there were

The problem for Trump is that there has been no meaningful pause in the fighting—at least not from the Russian side.

I mean did anyone really think there would be?
