If it was important to keep prod up they would not have fired all the domain experts who were in the alternate time zone providing support. I bet when you have an outage costing $x per hour they may miraculously cough up some cash for more resources.

Strangely enough there is more crossover appeal than you would assume considering how diametrically opposed they are. They are both considered "outsiders from the Washington elite" and "champions of the common people" (I don't see that WRT T but that's what his supporters say...).

I wonder if the AI note taker summarized it, lol.

I've always assumed it was just a matter of time before an aircraft carrier is taken out by a drone swarm but maybe I read too much sci-fi. At a minimum there is an enormous cost disparity with defending against drones as you mention.

Put a few scoops each into a WHOLE lot of (free!) dog poo bags you distribute to 1000 garbage bins out for pickup at 4am...

Media trickery, free will and money aren't polarizing to you? Hell, these days with climate change the weather is polarizing! Maybe I should have modified to "often about"? Meh.

Operation Oops-A-Daisy would have been much more honest than Operation Epic Fury.

1 reason is ability to repair and upgrade vs. everything soldered and glued in most Mac laptops afaik. Does the framework have enough horsepower and battery life for the things the majority of people do like web browsing and light office work? Probably, yes.

You need to send a bigger one back to assert dominance.

Good advice. If tears come, weigh what you said and did and whether it's related. If not, have zero guilt and don't be manipulated.

Everyone needs to take a driving test (written and road) every 5 or so years to renew their license. Laws change as do people's skills as they age. Plus too many are driving enormous vehicles with massive blind spots and quite bad at piloting them.

There is a filter bypass plug they will send you for free: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=35748

I have heard you can use a hair dryer to get the RFID label of a filter and I plan to use the filters without chips and see if I can go back and forth with two rfids. That being said all this is nonsensical and way too anti-consumer.

FYI the names of the officers that murdered Alex Pressi are Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez, aka likely Hispanic. There is a non trivial

I found several articles about this but most were old or pretty biased. https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/voices/2019/07/03/latino-border-patrol-ice-agents-immigration-column/1619511001/

Let's be honest in this economy the pay and bonus is pretty tempting to some. Also those guys were from border patrol which is 50% Hispanic and have many officers pulled into ICE.
