And yet, when she was served up an easy gimme question at the last town hall debate, she shied away and waffled about bipartisanship.

CAROL NACKENOFF, POLITICAL SCIENCE PROFESSOR AT SWARTHMORE COLLEGE: Good evening… My question is this: if you could accomplish only one major policy goal that required congressional action, what would it be, and why?

HARRIS: Well, there’s not just one. I have to be honest with you, Carol. There’s a lot of work that needs to happen.

But let’s – let’s – I think that maybe part of this point that – I how I think about it is we’ve got to get past this era of politics and partisan politics slowing down what we need to do in terms of progress in our country. And that means working across the aisle.

Anything that can convince a median intelligence jury, will be used by unscrupulous prosecutors and cops.

I don’t understand this comment - are you saying they’re a higher/better people because they’re “The Chosen People”? That they deserve the land? And how is the comparison antisemitic?

WITNESS ME BROTHERS!!

Earlier this year, investors filed a class-action lawsuit, accusing company executives of overstating the devices’ capabilities and claiming that “Evolv does not reliably detect knives or guns.”

It’s fraud. The company knows it’s unreliable and the investors know it’s unreliable, I wonder why NYC is still going to expand the trial run? 🤔

[Mayor] Adams has touted the Massachusetts-based company since taking office in 2022.

I’m assuming you’re not super familiar with PCB fabrication? The toner transfer is a way to get small, repeatable, and precise definition of the component pads and traces - at home - without needing the expensive industrial machinery that fab houses have.

The toner ’print’ is a negative image, placed on a sheet of copper mounted to (usually) fiberglass. Much like masking off areas when painting, the ‘print’ protects the copper surface in select areas you want to keep safe when the whole board goes into the acid bath to dissolve the unprotected copper - leaving copper only where your ‘print’ was, and hopefully no shorts/grounds.

Definitely cool to have the ability to DIY fine pitch if you’re manually mounting SMT components or want higher board density, beats out the hand drawn permanent marker lines I’ve done in the past 😅

Just shy of $18 billion for Israel. Nearly unlimited diplomatic cover and significant patron:client posturing that has Ukraine and Taiwan jealous. US troops, deployed using US weapons, to defend Israel.

Contrast that to hand wringing about “now that Haniyeh /Nasrallah /Sinwar/ ??? is dead, we need a ceasefire”, the refusal to demand more aid trucks daily and prevent famine, or hollow commitments to a two-state solution, without any action - of course it’s optics.

This activity unfortunately has a long history in the occupied territories.

Palestinians were forced to remove suspicious objects from roads, tell other Palestinians to come out and surrender themselves, physically shield soldiers while they fired, and more. In 2005, the High Court of Justice ruled the practice unlawful, yet… in most cases, no one was held accountable

Die jaded, or die tired.

Even an average FPV pilot can wreck infantry out in the open, the better pilots will make multiple dives before committing to a good angle/direct impact. You can’t outrun a drone, REBs don’t cover all frequencies, and shooting them down is hard.

Appreciate the info and link, but $168 for what is essentially a few dollars of SOLAS tape and a pair of IR laser safety glasses? Bruh.

Iran and Israel played their shadow war, mostly contained to Syria and the Golan Heights/Southern Lebanon for years.

Then after Oct7 Israel threw out the unspoken ‘rules of the game’ and started thwacking Iranian proxy force’s political and military leadership. A new tit-for-tat grew, with Hezbollah and the Houthis responding for Iran.

Israel strikes an Iranian embassy, killing Iranian diplomats and IRGC members. A new escalation.

Iran responds with their extremely telegraphed ‘show of force’ missile/drone attack, doing little damage to Israel, giving the IDF and IAF an easy PR win to shoot down all the Iranian missiles.

Israel quickly escalates again by killing Nasrallah and directly striking Hezbollah, before their ground invasion of Lebanon. Iran responds with a surprise missile attack, using the good missiles this time, and proves they can (and did) strike Israeli military facilities at will.

All of a sudden Israel delays a new escalation, but warns of severe consequences. Now that THAAD is deployed, Netanyahu approves strike plans as recently as last night purportedly.

The “ironclad commitment to Israel’s security” is directly enabling escalation in the region, and has a purported ally dog-walking the global leader. To quote Bill Clinton “Who the fuck does he think he is? Who’s the fucking superpower here?”.

The fact that this letter was leaked - unlike alleged similar communiques prior this year - screams that Israeli leadership doesn’t intend to comply, or wants to reinsert “leaving Israel defenseless ” into the US media cycle.

Biden proved with the JLOTS pier and aid airdrops that he wouldn’t couple significant aid distribution with continued weapons deliveries, and instead ran ineffectual workarounds to “be seen doing something”. Remember that 500 trucks a day was the purported minimum required aid in the spring/summer.

People really forget/undersell that this was the original groundswell of support for Trump - particularly running against the Nth generation political hack that was Hillary Rodham Clinton in the general, and the Nth generation political hack that was John Ellis ‘Jeb’ Bush in the primary.

Trump also touched the racism/xenophobia lightning rod in ways no mainstream Republican had since the civil right era, either with dog whistles, or c/overt wink-and-nod about “those people”.

Cuz they print the money and set policing budgets astronomically high. A warrant requires paperwork and a judge (though FISA made that a joke), just buying it outright is far easier.

Not the first, wolnt be the last. I hate that “muh geopolitics” means our voices don’t meant shit, and Bibi gets to dog-walk the US into his wars.

1. They’re ineffectual, weak, and don’t do anything, and have failed their mission.
2. They are so effective and strong, that they need to leave so the IDF is safe.

Pick one.

They’re literally hunkered down inside bunkers in their bases - which are well documented, flying UN flags, and painted peacekeeper white. The only place they’re “standing in the way” is in your propaganda. And now they’re “human shields” for Hezbollah, which if history is repeated, means they’re days/weeks away from direct Israeli bombing.

When you shoot at UN peacekeepers, you’re almost always the bad guy.

I can’t find it now, but I’d swear to having read an anecdote from someone working with radiation who reported tingling teeth during exposure.

It definitely does a lot of nasty things to the body.

The fact that you’re defending what is parallel to thoughtcrime is wild

1)A person commits an offence if— (a)he collects or makes a record of information of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism

What is boundary of ‘useful for terrorism’ exactly? Viewing a Google street view of say the GCHQ building? Planewatchers taking photos near the tarmac? Amateur OSINT activities that require things like UXO, radar, or aircraft identification? Putting a video of your SO leaving for deployment on Facebook?

Adding the ‘reasonable excuse’ clause is a paltry fig leaf that just kicks the determination of criminality to the whims of a magistrate or CPS. We’ve seen weak terrorism charges used to stifle legitimate protest, even before the latest protest laws.

The Children of the Atom deem you a HERETIC! Embrace the holy atom!
