mkwt,

I don’t think this is an accurate view of the current border situation, but it’s a view that one might have consuming media from a different kind of media bubble than the Fox News kind.

There really is a situation with migrants who cross the river illegally and immediately turn themselves in and claim asylum. This isn’t a new situation, but the numbers have gotten worse over the last year.

The migrant caravans, plural, really did and do exist. What tends to happen is they gather into thousands strong mass marches in and around Tapachula, after crossing from Guatemala to Mexico. So these big marches start towards the US in southern Mexico, but they tend to break up and thin out over the 1800 mile journey to Texas.

If anyone could organize a mass foot march over the whole distance, that would be an extremely impressive feat of logistics. But that hasn’t happened yet.

Conclusions: this border situation is not completely made up. Many right wing conspiracies going around have some kind of kernel of truth to then.

And some mainstream media outlets (I have this experience with NPR in particular) have started to seemingly impose total blackouts on not just the conspiracy ideas, but also on the little nuggets of true news that get them started.

mkwt,

There are also some plans in the works to fully end leaded avgas in the 2030s.

mkwt,

Aha! Must be Australian dollars!

mkwt,

I think the real time requirement can be relaxed for self contained experiment packages. And given that the shuttle ran a healthy number of student experiments, it’s pretty likely that X system has appeared.

I believe crew laptops for email and stuff are also running non real-time systems.

mkwt,

The bit about the small forge forging a forge is skewering the Gentoo concept of toolchain bootstrapping.

Problem: how can you claim to have compiled the entire system on your own local machine if you need a compiler to compile a compiler? Where do you get that compiler from?

Solution: Use an external compiler to compile a compiler. Then use that compiler that you just compiled to compile itself again. Then use that second compiler to recompile the rest of the system.

mkwt,

That makes a lot more sense. Thanks.

mkwt,

That is a wildly morbid slogan.

mkwt,

Once again I remind you all that these consoles are not powered by a substance as boring as regular electricity. Oh no. It has to be highly energetic tuned plasma…straight to the user interface consoles…for, uh, reasons.

mkwt,

All I’m saying is, there’s no way this would pass a MIL-STD-882 safety assessment in the twenty first century. So I have no idea how they got their spaceworthiness certificate.

There’s one state, I believe Indiana, where the big chain Waffle House operates under the name Waffle Shoppe. This is because there was already a preexisting mom and pop Waffle House in the area.

Correction: it’s “Waffle and Steak,” and they stopped doing that in 2005.

mkwt,

Reminder: the 22k number is inclusive of Hamas combatants. They refuse to break out military casualties from civilians.

mkwt,

It’s a play. And the famous spoiler is that ::: spoiler Spoiler Godot never shows up :::.

mkwt,

I’m on jerboa, and the spoiler part works okay for me. But it somehow swallowed the first part of the post.

I haven’t looked on the web client.

mkwt,

Wearing underwear complicates cartoon drawing.

mkwt,

I think that “Balance of Terror” was the very first episode of Star Trek to feature ship to ship combat with a near peer adversary. The Romulans in that episode got cloaking technology because the screenplay was ripped straight from a WWII submarine movie.

I guess after that point the “submarine” tropes got established, because that style of combat was basically doctrine up until Star Trek (2009).

mkwt,

Was that one of the ones from the Megan era?

mkwt,

Don’t know much, but nl80211 in the stack is indicative that the crash happens in a WiFi driver.

Looks like maybe some bad behaviour with a mutex.

mkwt,

Can somebody make a joke about “one of the classic blunders?”
