Even if someone has used it only once, even if they just tried it, they are ineligible for military service.
Well that’s just false. You’ll get denied if you pop hot on a drug test at MEPS, but they don’t tend to care if you’ve smoked in the past, except as a barometer for if you’ll smoke in the future. And, like almost everything else in the DoD, there’s a waiver form you can fill out for it too
Ordinarily, I might agree. However, this suspension is because musk refused to appoint a legal representative for the company in Brazil, IAW Brazilian law. That’s a reasonable ask for a company that’s actively doing business in the country. If a billionaire* crybaby refuses to follow the law, then he gets to deal with the consequences. FA meet FO.
A “benefit” of using RAF helos is it the flight hours. Pilots typically need a certain number of flight hours every month to maintain their certs, so they’ll likely be flying anyways. Having them fly senior ministers around instead of other training flights technically is free, as the flights were going to happen anyways.
As much as I detest SpaceX and the literal child in charge of the company, their craft at least has a track record of safely bringing astronauts to and from the ISS. Boeing doesn’t even have that.
DOW II is perfect for co-op with a friend. You have much less to keep track of, and it’s a good time playing through it!
There’s a not-insignificant chance it was the only non-painted exhibit in the entire museum. Everything else I saw was a painting…
On a side note, highly recommend the National Portrait Gallery if you’re ever in DC.
Last time I went to the National Portrait Gallery in DC, the Hall of Presidents directly abutted the Civil Rights area.
Trumps presidential portrait (a photo, not a painting, as distinguished by the medium being listed as “inkjet printer” on the plaque) was on one side of a freestanding wall on the center of the room, and maybe 30ft away was a very large portrait of John Lewis.
The impression given was that Trump was losing a staring contest with John Lewis, which felt very apt.
So it’s not actually to the Norwegian government. The trust account for the Palestinian Authority is just located in Norway. That makes a lot more sense.
Depends on the roadkill, honestly. Deer as roadkill, especially if you’re the one who hit it (or saw it hit) isn’t too bad, because it’s already an animal normally eaten, and is reasonably fresh.
Now a raccoon that’s been on the side of the road for god knows how long…that’s a different story.
Sounds 100% on Bell then. Because I guarantee the procurement contract was written to specify exactly what mil standards the material used is required to meet, and that the prime is responsible for verifying compliance
All Ukraine has to do is nothing. The Kuznetsov has about a 75% chance of sinking every time it puts to sea
DoD work (both civilian and active duty) tends to bind people together a lot more than other industries, in no small part due to the factors you mentioned, but also because a) the additional barriers of national security/clearance work make it only really possible to vent about work to coworkers/friends from work, b) the work can often be unique enough that only coworkers have shared experiences to bond over and empathize with, and c) the civilian side of the DoD tends to attract career folks a lot more than it does transitory people. I think a disproportionate amount (when compared to private industry) of civilians who hire into the DoD stay in federal service for their whole careers. And people sticking around their whole careers tend to invest more in personal and professional relationships in the workplace, because networking is how you get opportunities, and you never know who you might owe a favor some day (or who might owe you one).
Could be as simple as the old “no leader is as popular as a war time leader” but.
See also: Argentina and the Falkland Islands. Every so often, an Argentinian leader starts rattling his sabre over the Falklands to drum up support at home, despite the islands population being overwhelmingly in favor of staying British.
DLC in this context is pretty widely understood to mean in game content. So additional areas, cosmetics, missions, etc. not the soundtrack. Steam just categorizes the soundtracks as DLC for games in general.
I think the meaning is that the Lemmy.ml fascists aren’t actually communist.
Yeah they did. My reading of the policy is that YouTube does not allow content that shows off legally dubious (or outright banned in any state) accessories, and does not allow firearms in live streams (because shit can and often does go wrong, and live censoring isn’t really a thing). Teaching firearm safety is still very much allowed.
The frustrating part is that it’s just a giant fucking advertising billboard when they aren’t hosting events inside.
You can 100% get a clearance if you’ve smoked within 7 years of applying for one. Hell, you can get a clearance if you smoked within the last year. You just have to a) disclose the fact, b) be able to show mitigations as to why smoking weed won’t be an issue while you have a clearance, and then c) not do it while you have a clearance. It ends up being not so much about the fact that you smoke weed as it is that you’re not following the law, and that’s the real clearance risk (from their POV). Getting a clearance is really about proving you’re trustworthy to the investigator.
I’m waiting for a condition of the bailout to be separating Boeing Defense from Boeing Aerospace, so the aerospace side can fail
The actual quantity of radioactive waste generated is tiny, and even combining the storage space for waste products with the footprint of the reactor plant itself, nuclear is by far the most energy-dense and space-efficient form of power generation we have.
