The status quo has changed permanently. It doesn't matter what the US does; Iran now controls the strait and nobody can stop them from charging whatever tolls they want, only letting through ships for their allies, etc. Trump permanently ended the concept of freedom of navigation that Iran had previously abided by when he idiotically decided to attack them anyway, because Iran has zero reason to trust US diplomacy and respect for international law ever again.

Mine was literally the cheapest I could find (Amazon flash sale during COVID for maybe $30?) and isn't even powered, but still manages to have a continuous knob to adjust pressure, along with three buttons for where to aim the spray (butt, front, and self-clean).

This is cope. The unconstitutional mandate is still a bad thing and needs to be stopped.

It's not "solely for the desires of a foreign nation." Although bribes and blackmail are surely factors, the other reason the US (and especially the Republican Party) does whatever helps Israel is to appease American evangelical Christians who want to fulfill a Biblical prophesy of Jews returning to the Holy Land to kick off the End Times so they can get Raptured.

It's literally an insane death cult controlling US foreign policy.

It's stalking, not merely "public". "Public" does not imply a panopticon!

According to the Gamers Nexus (I think) video I saw, they're sourcing whatever RAM they can find, so some units ship with 1x16GB and others ship with 2X8GB and it's just random luck which you'll get.

Looking at this without context in my inbox, I thought you were being extremely generous to Trump.

Putting Biden in the bottom 15 is harsh, but fair. Fucker's gonna be remembered the same as Neville Chamberlain.

Ah, thanks for the warning. My install has been badgering me to upgrade because my (non-LTS) version just stopped getting security updates. I ought to get off my ass and switch distros.

And Biden knew that but appointed him anyway.

IIRC, they started out planning to have realistic amounts of parking, then realized that (much like sprawl in real life) it made it no fun.

Yep.

In 2002, I used Gentoo.

In 2026, I use Kubuntu.

(I should probably switch since Canonical's policies are increasingly bothering me, but meh, I can't be bothered to reinstall more than once a decade.)

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced Tuesday that his department would redirect $1.73 billion in Biden-era grants away from establishing “DEI bike lanes” to build roads and bridges instead.

So, what exactly is a “DEI bike lane?”

The Daily Wire pointed to former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s claim that a series of 2021 grants funding bike lanes would serve to “improve infrastructure, strengthen supply chains, make us safer, advance equity, and combat climate change.”

Upon hearing “equity,” President Donald Trump’s goons can’t help but get triggered into attacking any federal spending that won’t benefit them directly. In reality, those Biden-era grants directed funds to build a new transit center in North Carolina, replace bridges in New Mexico, extend streets in New Hampshire, install traffic lights and crosswalks in Missouri, and install bike lanes in Seattle, among other projects. Now the financial status of these projects is unclear.

Hopefully my neighbors will rejoice as I no longer have to cut and drill steel.

My next goal is to find another junk trailer so I can get the wheels more centered and have better handling and keep the rear of the trailer from scraping when going up and down driveways.
