Because they don't want to do anything to make brands not buy the spots during the episode.

So if an episode has product placement for pasta sauce A then pasta sauce B, C, and D don't want to buy commercial spots for usually the entire run of the show.

It's not set in stone but having it be that way for all your shows makes it easy to sell big blocks of commercial spots spread across the network.

It's rough but the other option is death. The cold would kill you if your immune system wasn't doing this to you.

So military simulation for actual militaries is used for training. There are programs like OneSAF a training and stimulation RTS or VBS2 a first person shooter.

They can all be networked together using a federated system. Similar to Lemmy there is no master instance. Each program is trusted and manages it's entities like tanks and soldiers.

They each have their own database that can be classified or not. The classified database has very accurate stats and the nonclassified has general simple stats. Think people leaking classified documents on War Thunder to get their tank better stats in the game.

Because each system is using it's own database you don't want some system using classified data and some not. So in the unclassified databases a spefic unit type is set to invulnerable.

So if it's supposed to be an unclassified stimulation you fire up the sims and create one of the special units. You then trigger a detonation like an airstrike at the location of the unit.

The unit should be fine as it's invulnerable. You then go and check each stimulation and if it's been destroyed that one is using a classified database and you need to change it out before letting people use the system.

And the name of that shape is a chevron.

Most military simulation databases have a classified and unclassified version. In the unclassified database a spefic russian apc is usually set to be indestructable.

It's used for a quick test when setting up a federated sim. Drop one in the sim and trigger a detonation at the location. It should either be destroyed or not in all the instances.

Or accessing it if you have a security clearance. I'm not allowed the look at any of the documents Snowden leaked. Because even though they are easily obtained they have not been declasified. I don't have a need to know or the necessary SC.

It was a thing when I was a kid. The older you get the more of your basic education gets proved wrong.

You are correct but it's a common right wing myth. The Soy Boy diet making men wimpy girls was super common on right wing media.

Just like "Elections are the pressure release of an unhappy populace" trust in rule of law helps prevent people from taking things into their own hands.

Police protection of right wing shotters, ignoring due process, the supreme court saying it's ok to break the law if you are Trump. People have lost faith in the instutions of law and are taking things into their own hands.

This is the result of the Republicans dismantling the norms of government and rule of law.

He did say kids should see public executions.

"Death penalties should be public, should be quick, it should be televised. I think at a certain age, its an initiation...What age should you start to see public executions?" -Kirk

Clinton's boosted Trump because they though he had no chance and would be an easy opponent.

Him getting the nomination caused them to forget the first rule. Run unopposed or run scared. They thought it was going to be an easy win.

Hetalia: Axis Powers is this during WWII.

France (フランス, Furansu) is an overly-romantic, carefree man. In the series, he is shown to have a long-held rivalry with England. He makes sexual passes at many characters. France explains away his long history of military defeats as a joke from God, but he believes he is gifted with his "charms" and his supreme cooking skills.

 
 

A portion of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore has collapsed after a large boat collided with it early on Tuesday morning, sending multiple vehicles into the water.

At about 1.30am, a vessel crashed into the bridge, catching fire before sinking and causing multiple vehicles to fall into the water below, according to a video posted on X.

“All lanes closed both directions for incident on I-695 Key Bridge. Traffic is being detoured,” the Maryland Transportation Authority posted on X.

Matthew West, a petty officer first class for the coastguard in Baltimore, told the New York Times that the coastguard received a report of an impact at 1.27am ET. West said the Dali, a 948ft (29 metres) Singapore-flagged cargo ship, had hit the bridge, which is part of Interstate 695.
