    That’s the glimmer of hope here. You’ve got greed and inconpetence all dueling with malice.

    Billions of dollars will be squandered on overpriced and inappropriate equipment, or laundered through consultancies that won’t be providing proper training, setting the stage for some dramatic rake-in-the-face moments.

    My bingo card includes:

    • An ICE branded armoured vehicle driven over their commanding officer, DUI optional.
    • Antivaxxed recruits getting Super Malaria trying to operate the camps.
    • Some dramatic security failure (maybe a domestic-terror plot) that even Biden’s law-enforcement apparatus would have easily stopped except that all resources were focused on ICE.





  • Even if they were trying to use this sort of rule with wholesome intentions, I’m not sure how targeting groups by name instead of deed makes sense. It’s like doing a healthy diet by giving up Coca-Cola by name even though Pepsi and RC have the same nutritional profile and availability. Enjoy the Whack-a-mole game!

    Taken to its logical conclusion, someone should start a pro-Palestinian squad and call it the Reform Party.










  • Cobalt 60 has a half life of 5.27 years.

    If the 7-1-63 is a date stamp of original manufacture, it’s gone through over 11 half-lives. There’s less than .05% of the original flavour.

    I don’t know about the decay products, but I’d wonder how far we are from legitimately edible.
