Seems about right: it’s just a small loan, after all.

But what about Putin killing people Putin-style?

Within section 2.1 choose only one subsection to follow. Those are all alternative bootloader options.

The bootloader subsection chosen in 2.1 on this page should match what is done in Configuring the Bootloader. The default path on that page is GRUB, which does not require any systemd components.

If following the GRUB path, follow instructions in 2.1.1 and skip the rest of 2.1. This is not at all clear in the handbook.

I believe that sys-kernel/installkernel is a utility script internal to the Gentoo project that can be configured to work with various bootloader solutions, including (optionally) systemd, and that is what this section 2.1 is talking about.

This appears to be an out of order dependency in the handbook

Petition was filed around 24 hours ago, but no summons, no other evidence of service, and no bail motion ready to go. Plaintiff is certainly not bringing to bear the same kind of litigation resources that Khalil gets from the ACLU.

Basically. Every time this district court judge does a new thing, they file a whiny motion, basically tattle-tale-ing, with the appeals court. The appeals court hasn’t said anything about the tattle-tale letters yet. They set a very expedited briefing schedule on the appeal, but not as fast as the government wanted.

At this point it seems pretty clear that no more planes are actively planned. I don’t think the judge is going to try to claw those poor people out of the Salvadoran prison.

Might as well slow down a bit, litigate the appeal, and litigate the preliminary injunction to get something more permanent. Then move for sanctions and/or contempt. Let the news cycle recycle, then hit it.

Also beans. Can we bring back the beans, you know, for the newbies?

It’s not just lawmakers. There’s a bunch of lawsuits trying to use the federal courts to figure out:

• What is DOGE in the federal government?
• What is the nature of the “DOGE Temporary Organisation?”
• Who is in charge of DOGE? (Definitely not Musk, officially…)
• Why can DOGE make all these consequential personnel decisions up and down the federal government?

These are all things that have been shrouded in secrecy, obfuscation, and contradiction. Because the truth is that the real answers are not legally sound. The fact that these people are scared to say the real truth is a good sign, because it means they still have some fear of the courts and institutions. Those institutions still have some power to mess up the plan.

DC city government is fairly directly controlled by Congress. There’s not much of a firewall there. So I’m not really surprised.

not fit to have a job.

I thought they were mainly firing everyone new enough to still be on the standard probationary period.

So, the “Hurricane Hunters” are primarily associated with the Air Force Reserve 53rd weather reconnaissance squadron. This gentleman is not one of those. It’s a moderately misleading headline.

Windows was never oriented around “just works”. That was Mac. Windows’s main selling point is that it never becomes incompatible, and that has largely stayed true. You can still to this day insert the disk for some proprietary application from Windows 2.0 and it will still install and run. Try that with another operating system!

For an interview with a Fox News journalist that aired on Fox News?

See if that fracture holds up on /r/Conservative once the media machine decides what the talking points are

Cue up Pulp Fiction conversation about foot massage.

That’s what I was thinking. What the heck were the terms of the deal that let Adams off the hook? Is Adams completely ignorant of the ways of the Cheeto?

I think most of this is genuine belief. There was a doctor named Wakefield who fraudulently published this autism claim in academic journals. Those papers were retracted, but the damage was done.

I think it sticks around as a conspiracy, because otherwise there’s not a whole lot else that can explain the causes or origins of autism.

There are also a bunch of contracting arrangements where the workers are W-2 employees of a private company that has a contract with the gov to provide bulk professional services from said employees.

Those workers have some room to negotiate salaries and benefits like any private sector worker. Although the terms of the big contract can put some limits on what the private company can offer.

A lot of national labs and NASA stuff works like this.

At ISS altitude, it’s probably not decades to decay, but a few years instead.

Rockets do not aim straight up when they are leaving. They go straight up for a few seconds, and then they tilt over in the desired direction to pickup speed.

They don’t burn up on the launch because they time the tilt over maneuver so that they get above nearly all of the atmosphere before they start picking up serious speed.
