I'd change my weed dealer with a quickness were I you.

I thought in these times we're to say "Praise be", unless this is a case of "Blessed be the fruit".

China is rapidly improving their naval forces. Somewhat terrifyingly impressive for that matter. PLAN expansion Chinese Naval expansion Having worked in tech and DoD since the 80's, their tech on their fleet sure looks familiar and quite similar to US Navy tech. Having attended a number of classes with Chinese nationalists, I have long wondered what relationship we have beyond their tech theft, and WHY???? I think we have to bring tech manufacturing back on-shore. We're practically handing it to them.

Remote and radio controlled aircraft are 2 different things from my understanding. But I've never flown an F-14 via radio control halfway around the globe from a top secret research facility.

Job security.

Unless you're a Congress critter. Or a white wing nut. Or it's for gawd. Or a far-right republican. Or a January 6 insurrectionist. *Conditions are dependent on social media platform, the current mood of the owner of said social media platform, relative humidity, or the angle of sunspots on the earth's atmosphere. These conditions also vary depending on state of residency or location at the time of advocation.

It's cheaper, quieter, and lots more giggly to just take them out via the network. implicit deny all at the very least.

I find it interesting that the "well regulated" portion is continually dismissed, refused, misconstrued, or flat out ignored and argued over.

Like I said, seeing this forum today felt like it should be renamed. Or simply closed, ignored, and forgotten. Peace.

Might as well rename the forum from the way it looks todays. The tolerance of trolls reduces the number of active participants.

Banks, not taxpayers, are funding the government's efforts to shore up depositors of the failed Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank. The Biden administration will draw from the Deposit Insurance Fund to backfill customers' deposits, President Joe Biden said Monday, the Federal Reserve and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation that this relief plan would not be funded by American taxpayers. "No losses will be — and this is an important point — no losses will be borne by the taxpayers; let me repeat that, no losses will be borne by the taxpayer," Biden said Monday in remarks delivered from the White House. "Instead the money will come from the fees that banks pay into the Deposit Insurance Fund." The FDIC's Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) is used to help pay for operating costs as well as to resolve failed banks. It's funded by quarterly fees collected from FDIC-insured banks as well as interest earned from its investments in Treasury securities. As of December 31, 2022, the DIF's fund balance was $128.2 billion, according to the FDIC. Under requirements put in place by the Dodd-Frank Act, the FDIC has to have enough in the DIF coffers to cover 1.35% of insured deposits.

Oh the questions! I'll never follow some dude that knocked up another guy's wife so he could kill her son for us to all "believe". Love me and fear me or I will torture you for all eternity. FOH. That shit's going to require chemicals I won't put in my body.

Right inline with the Trumplican perspective of so long as those people are pissed, we're doing the right thing. I used to think humans worked for bettering and improving themselves. I was wrong.

Even WalMart has those. Hmph.

Now you want us to paint with it? I thought we were supposed to drink his blood and eat his flesh. Huh. Paint.
