Only if you’re counting the Coast Guard and Space Force (and maybe others I might be forgetting). So don’t do that, it would make Donjuanme wrong.

Iran said it was retaliation for the Israeli bombing of the Iranian embassy in Damascus on 1 April,[17] which killed two Iranian generals.

Iran claimed that the attack was an act of “self-defense”[19][20] in retaliation for Israel’s assassinations of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, and IRGC general Abbas Nilforoushan.

Does it change anything if both of those attacks were after an Iranian embassy was bombed and an assassination in Iran’s capital took place?

You may not hear about her much, but that doesn’t mean Harry Potter isn’t getting a new show on HBO next year. Clearly, JK Rowling is still “in the cultural spotlight” and making plenty of money off of the thing this post is asking you not to support.

You could raise your shield and have the guardian destroy the shield but deal no damage to you, and you could also parry while your shield is raised to reflect the beam back. BotW had a parry button you could use while your shield was raised.

Usually you would want to provide a good example.

If that’s the standard, then mine is probably

I consider tankies to be people that are incapable or unwilling to admit that China or whoever else massacred their people.

from the .ml/c/memes community. It also got me a temporary ban for not being “civil and nice.”

Unfortunately, they predicted a bad actor getting access to their server/devices. Reality is even stupider since someone accidentally included a journalist in their classified group chat.

Magic publishers sent Pinkerton agents to a YouTuber’s house to retrieve leaked cards

When Magic: The Gathering cards turned up on YouTube last week, publisher Wizards of the Coast (which also publishes D&D) sent private investigators from Pinkerton to retrieve them. The resulting confrontation reportedly frightened one woman to tears, and resulted in the confiscation of nearly two dozen boxes of cards by private investigators. Wizards confirmed the incident to Polygon.

In case anyone else was curious what this was referring to.

spent hours on the phone explaining to constituents that our funding was cut so we couldn’t provide the services they were due

In the Pentagon? What services are the Pentagon providing that I should be calling about?

Based on this newsweek article, that happened around June, 2020. Looking at the JRE website, I think Bill Burr got invited on one more time in December 2020, but hasn’t been on since.

[Referring to the Tiananmen Square Massacre] We (at least many of us) have read the sources that have been linked. What is described there, particularly the accounts of people who were there, is what we assert is what happened. In the few instances where there may be contradictory first hand accounts (and mostly, the accounts are not contradictory but rather corroborate each other) there may be some ambiguity. But even taking that into account, it is ridiculous and downright ahistorical to say “Chinese authorities massacred people.”

This is from a conversation with the kind of people I would consider “tankies”. It’s from a community I think has since been deleted, but the general vibe of the comments in the post was that the Tiananmen Square massacre isn’t a real thing and any civilian deaths were actually justified.

120% of 80 is 96. You’d have to let them charge to 125% to get to 100

All the carbon removal equipment in the world is only capable of removing around 0.01 million metric tons of carbon a year, a far cry from the 70 million tons a year needed by 2030 to meet global climate goals, according to the International Energy Agency.

There are already much bigger DAC plants in the works from other companies. Stratos, currently under construction in Texas, for example, is designed to remove 500,000 tons of carbon a year, according to Occidental, the oil company behind the plant.

But there may be a catch. Occidental says the captured carbon will be stored in rock deep underground, but its website also refers to the company’s use of captured carbon in a process called “enhanced oil recovery.” This involves pushing carbon into wells to force out the hard-to-reach remnants of oil — allowing fossil fuel companies to extract even more from aging oil fields.

I don’t know what you’re talking about, everything seems fine here.

I wouldn’t expect the economics of private jets to work out either, and yet…

It’s important to know that both the FDA and the USDA are in charge of inspecting food, and which food is covered by which agency can be complicated.

FSIS [under the USDA] conducts continuous daily inspections of foods in its domain, whereas FDA inspections have no regular schedule. The FDA is more likely to inspect only after a tip about a possible food safety violation, so random inspections can occur up to 10 years apart or, in rare cases, not at all.

“It’s not that they don’t want to inspect more, they just don’t have the funding,” Raymond says.

This inspection imbalance means that pepperoni pizza, because it contains meat, has ingredients that will be inspected three times before the product hits the grocery store freezer: at the slaughterhouse, the packing plant and the pizza factory. A vegetarian pizza produced at the same facility, however, will probably not undergo any inspection.

And in regard to the FDA being not allowed to regulate:

[The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994] placed the burden of proof concerning dietary supplement safety on FDA, requiring the agency to show that a dietary supplement ingredient is adulterated rather than requiring the manufacturer to prove a supplement is safe prior to marketing. This is in contrast to new food additives, which require submission of safety information in a food additive petition prior to marketing, or drugs, which generally require submission of safety data as part of a new drug application prior to marketing.

At least with dietary supplements, they can’t make a new product guarantee it’s safe, the FDA needs to already know something is dangerous before it can force a recall.
