For some reason I just pictured a 4 years old running full speed into a sliding glass door.

But yeah if the landscape was flat, straight would work with enough thrust/lift to keep you at that vector

Had the same happen to me

This isn’t the picture they used at the time either, why are we cropping it now?

The Wall Street Journal is controlled by Murdoch, what would you expect, he faught for this to happen. Don’t remember who owns the times, but I’m sure it’s money

They should just grant all farms/businesses the ability to place premium processing for an i-140 for all of their workers who don’t currently have citizenship under category EB-3 for free. Halt deportations and spend the money on professing those requests for 90 days. Then re-evaluate how much money that saved them, how much money it makes the country in taxes, and maybee realize they should have been encouraging all companies to sponsor their employees before this, and re-evaluate what they count as qualified. A not priority i-140 is standardly is $715 and takes like 8 months.

They could tell employees, if you need a sponsor we will pay you $1 less an hour for 8 months and pay the cost for you, and once the 8 months are up you will get a $1 raise. The company would actually make money doing so.

Had a VP that was the head of IT at one point that used to tell a story how he took the whole company down on his first day. He was a disciplined person as well. (Was in the British Royal Navy, then later the U.S. Navy). They were in the middle of moving a lot of their services over and had a 3rd party company contracted to install some kind of new switches if I remember correctly. They set it all up, left him with the information and contact info I guess for assisting whoever was going to managing them. Well he apparently tried to log into one and managed to factory reset it somehow on accident. No idea how he did that on accident. But the company managed things from the Virgin Islands to North Carolina all the way west to Texas. It was corporate headquarters, so… No paychecks for thousands of employees across 100+ sites and the whole 9 yards. Thankfully a quick fix once so everything was back up the next day, but that’s how you make a good first impression.

Still no idea why they had a 3rd party installing those switches though… Definitely something we managed in house by the time I got there

That’s the ticket. Worked in Tempe for 3 weeks. Come non work nights I was wondering what I should do, so if I was tired Id pop some edibles, laugh at a movie for a bit, wake up with munchies and get breakfast, then go back to bed until afternoon.

Didn’t want to spend much time outside when it was daylight anyways. Sun starts to go down, find a dive bar or something.

Revoke all of their citizenships

Permissions. Security is never about convenience. No one wants to hear that they can’t have access, but they just can’t. There’s a reason why even permissions for IT are usually broken into so many fragments. Anyone can fuck everything up if they have the permissions to do so.

Sorry, sitting in meeting bored. Didn’t know what to do with the time

Bit of extra information. New Hampshire didn’t want to hold an official presidential primary for democrats so they didn’t put Biden on the ballot. As a write in he still wiped the floor against his opponent who was an option

The number of active duty troops needed by the U.S. to enter battle gas fallen drastically. We aren’t actually trying to occupy anything. For instance we sent 130,000 into Iraq in 2003, and the needed numbers have fallen more since as warfare advances. The U.S. has over 2,000,000 troops and 700,000 reserves. The draft was retired because we don’t need it. We just view it as the draft being gone because that’s what the government wanted us to see/believe. Yet every male in the U.S. is required by law to sign up. Propoganda works wonders on us all. Will we see a ban occur, someday I’m sure, but it won’t be before we know volunteers far outweigh what’s needed for the greed of the rich.

From those 48 states:

I don’t think we learned anything from Vietnam. Though I do hope this will make Israelies realize they aren’t gaining anything for the common person, just more hate, loss, and economic struggle eventually.

Lessons we were supposed to learn from Vietnam.

• The government will lie to its citizens and use propoganda to push an agenda to help their careers over valuing our populous’ lives, money, or feelings.

• The media will allow misinformation to flow so long as they can make personal/company prosperity off of it

• Support systems are lacking for the troops as well as benefits.

In the last week we have seen calls to cut aid to troops, citizens, and the media overflow with misinformation to push forward agendas that are not in the best interest of the common citizen.

That’s false. 48 states held a democratic primary. Only Delaware and Florida didn’t. Biden won something like 87% of the vote, it was a landslide. Then he stepped down and put his VP in. Had someone else won those 48 states, Harris would have never been on the ballot. If they did hold a vote in Delaware (Biden’s home state) and Florida, the results would be the same.

Knock down drag out fight ends the same way in the same amount of time. Noem got 50 Republican senators that voted for her. That’s an automatic win for her unless Vance went against Trump’s pick.

They only need 51 if there are 50 against, and there wasn’t, some Republicans sat out as well. In the end they are dumbasses for bitching but their efforts wouldn’t change the vote with her

Sure but I don’t see how people can think certain bans should exist and not others. Sawn off shotguns have been banned for as long as I’ve ever known, yet people don’t question it. The reasoning is they could be dangerous to others on accident. Yet if you take any round .223 with a fmj (cheapest format to buy) it’s going straight through your wall, and through the entire apartment across the hall. So when you fire 3 shots towards the door they are trying to go through, most people with adrenaline or freaking out enough to think a gun is necessary at that point in time, 2 of those rounds are going into the next residence. Even the 1 that hits the person very well might go straight through.

Guy stacked sheet rock up in a row and they went through

.223 - 17 sheets, .308 - 20 sheets, 30-06 - 23 sheets

Granted with gaps between them the wobble will make it more like 3-4… so anyone in the living room/dining room or if the bedroom is towards the wall facing the hall… Is possibly getting a hunk of lead in them.

Hollow points almost make more sense there, as hopefully they’d split on the first sheet rock and the smaller shards may get stuck in the second, if not hopefully not have enough momentum to penetrate a person after if their lucky.

Should they ban those rifles, in my opinion no, but I think if you use one for home defense and fire a round that penetrates into another person’s residence, you should get an attempted murder charge for being irresponsible. It isn’t a moose coming in the front door. For people who believe they need home defense a 9mm hollow point will save money, be easier to navigate in close quarters and dump all the energy into stopping the person instead of going out their back. (Unfortunately for them, much more organ damage, and high chances of death). (Personally I think most should use revolvers anyways if they aren’t using it often, because 20 years from now even if it hasn’t been cleaned, it’s more than likely going to do exactly what you want it to do… while a semi automatic spring loaded contraption, may jam)

Got it. So what’s the order. Lick coaster drink shot of tequila bite lime? Or bite lime, drink tequila shot then lick coaster.

I’m curious to see what Iran would have become in the next 5 years had this shit not occurred. It had the potential of becoming another regime or possibly a democracy again. Hard to say where it was going.

Basic premise though was crude oil sells at $75 per barrell, the US averaged 4.5 million Barrells a day in 2024 (exports). If the cost per barrel dropped to $65 a barrell that’s a $16.5 billion dollars lost per year. That’s 66x the amount of money Elon spent to assist Trump in winning the election.

So it makes sense to pay millions or a few hundred million from oil executives to ensure oil prices stay where they are.
