Can someone remind me of the last time a U.S. president took a principled stand on some foreign policy issue? Seriously, I’m not just asking this to be a dick. I’m pretty sure things are set up to ensure this does not ever happen.

3·5 days agoAssuming they were dropped by whoever installed that plug, 100,000 years, as estimated by the experts cited by the article.
6·5 days agoIt’s like they spent a lot of time and effort thinking about, how many different ways can we make this more terrifying? I’m having trouble coming up with anything else they could do short of anything really blatant like attaching it to a mobile body with flailing meat grinder arms and giving it a blood curdling 100 decibel scream.
No, just 100,000 years old, can’t you read?
Yeah but this kind of salt they only taste test every half million years or so, so the expiration dates cant be trusted to be that precise.
1·8 days agopretty sure I’ve seen ducks shooting up in the park…
It’s not mangy, its exuberant! Give it time, it may grow on you. (pun not intended…honest)
They were carried by knights who didn’t have horses.
Maybe, but if true it means that whether the child is choking on feathers or bowling balls, they are ejected at the same speed, which is a great advantage of this technique.
Ooo, rub that butt! (It looks like you did, what did you use?)
Not at all, nor am I saying it’s a good system. But the realities of how individuals shape the system and determine who is making discisions starts at the local level, and happens over time, and it does come to reflect the interests of those who choose to participate, and not those who don’t. This is just the reality of how power operates.
Where do you think ‘the party’ comes from, the people who make these bad decisions? Are you active in local politics? Do you educate yourself and vote in local elections? Most people act like the only election there is, is the presidential election, and wonder why they feel disconnected from the choices. Well there are a million small choices going into who that pool of bad choices is winnowed from, and who is making backroom decisions playing into it, and most people are clueless how any of it works, uninterested to learn, and completely checked out. Well that’s how we end up here.
Automated package testing before each update rolls out to users.
In the event that an update does break your system, you can roll back to the last snapshot from the grub menu (using the smart btrfs setup that is the installation default).
Also generally, maintained by very smart people, community is not toxic, corporate overlords more benign than most, IMO.
Or while bending over and sticking your butt out.
That’s how that language construct works. That’s pretty much the point of it.

What is “year 0”?
Well if you think you’ll have occasion to leave it locked up places, it might be an advantage for it to look old and beat up.
Those are things that are in the interest of the US foreign policy agenda.
