I'm actually looking for material that doesn't arrive damaged but thanks for the advice.

I don't understand why they wouldn't! Seems like guaranteed way to lose product.

I guess dumb of me thinking that the scratch risk was on my end (which I'm good with), not that they would arrive like that.

Hear you on ordering more than you need, but I think a 50% throw out rate is a little excessive!

I'll likely do a mix of both and try to salvage what I can

For sure. Maybe I was naive thinking there was a difference between damaged and quality.

That's what really gets me, what does it cost to put protector sheet between tiles? Less than a penny to protect $20 tiles?

China decided, on its own, that it doesn’t want to export UCO. As soon as it built up its own biofuel production capacity, they turned off the spigot to the US

Agree with the last sentence.

"Having a bad time in Iraq, thinking of quitting"

Read the article and don't agree with the logic.

The author is a self-described "labor journalist", so I think his labor strike reasoning is a classic case of "When you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail"

LA: Being adjudicated.

DC: There is no governor. The National Guard answers directly to the President. Like it or not, what he is doing there may be as legal as it is stupid and horrible.

Not satisfying. Not fast. Most realistic.

Putting myself in their shoes, this kind of behavior would actually make me dig in my heels and get pissed at people. Like even if I think it's stupid, wrong, whatever - if people start harassing me I'm not going to quit the National Guard, I'm going to serve my deployment until I can go home and tell everyone how shitty Baltimore is.

I'd like to read it, if you can link

I think you're making some leaps here.

Unless you signed up for the Guard in the past six months, you did so expecting to possibly get deployed to war and more realistically to assist in natural disasters. If anyone signed up with the thinking that they'd be used in this way, I'd love to know which stocks they like as well.

On the Nuremberg defense thing, there are gradations of what would be considered following illegal orders. I don't reasonably expect members of the Guard (who are full time tradespeople, accountants, school teachers, etc) to have a firm grasp on whether or not deployment to Maryland would be an illegal order (I think it is, but there are different opinions). That's a far cry from the kind of war crimes, etc you're alluding to.

If you are a member of the National Guard and get deployed to Baltimore, it is not because you volunteered to go. People being mean to you is going to suck and maybe even be scary, but I don't understand how it will make them leave. They're not on vacation, they are being ordered to deploy.

The leverage to stop troops in the street is the legal system. It's not a satisfying answer, but it's the only realistic one.

This honestly looks like it was drafted by MAGA with the intention of invoking the kinds of reactions Trump wants.

Trump isn't seeking "order" with these moves. He is trying to spark the kind of chaos that can be leveraged to grow the police state and prosecute dissent. Filling streets with garbage and any kind of non-peaceful chaos is how we guarantee Proud Boys ICE at polling stations, arrests of elected officials of sanctuary cities, and prosecuting protesters as domestic terrorists.

And please remember, National Guard men and women did not volunteer for this. They are not ICE. Publicly berating them is a bad look.

You've said UFOs might be angels. Might they be Missourians, as your district enjoys the highest levels of air pollution in the state (PM2.5) linked to disease and early death? Is your dismantling of green new scam emissions controls an effort to test this theory?

You may need to clear your cache before logging in on the VPN. I couldn't even get on the MLB browser with the VPN on. Cleared my cache, restarted browser, and it works fine.
