, the Pentagon’s deputy chief of space policy, on whether SpaceX has been cooperating to ensure Russian troops do not operate Starlink terminals obtained from black markets in violation of U.S. sanctions.
How is it that easy to use Starlink in an area where they’ve been provisioned for military use? Those terminals don’t have crypto? No 2FA or other type of authentication mechanism?
There kinda are. Very privileged people who don’t need to pay attention to politics because the fascists aren’t ever targeting them. So they can be clueless and just see the biggest soundbites that make it past political TV. If you haven’t been paying attention to the shitshow, it probably looks a lot tamer. =/
It was a rare case of Trump allies traveling abroad as part of an organized delegation to meet foreign officials. It took place amid strains between Israel and the Biden administration about Israel’s conduct of the war in Gaza.
Seems like it could fit the dispute criteria. They are clearly meeting with Israel in preparation for being president.

FIVE AND A HALF HOURS?! This has to be VaatiVidya’s longest video right? Feels almost like he could have broken it up to drive engagement for a longer period of time.
Also interested for much spoiler for the game is in here. I’ve beaten half of it and need to go back.
This doesn’t seem that bad. At least they didn’t use the abominations that are black “olives”. Greek/kalamata has a better flavor but green aren’t bad.
Subtitled Shadows, it follows dual protagonists – a ninja named Naoe and a samurai based on the historical Black samurai Yasuke.
Oh that’s cool. I don’t think I’ve seen much media focus on this figure.
The main grievance I have as an Asian American in games in regards to representation isn’t the lack of it — as evidenced by the Wikipedia page full of Asian fighters and ninjas and samurais — but rather is the lack of diversity therein.
Yeah, that makes sense. Type-casting, essentially. It’s not really representation if it’s so pigeon-holed.
Irish pirate turned samurai as the main character.
I wonder if that’s based on the real life William Adams (John Blackthorn from Shogun) or based on another real-world figure or just made up.
Let’s not pretend historical accuracy or Asian representation is the problem
Yeah, I’m expecting a much different issue as you noted. But the article takes a different angle and is defending the choice and saying that it’s not an issue not to have an asian samurai as the main character. And that asian people need more diverse representation. I assume because the writer didn’t want to address the more obvious expected outcry or felt knowledgeable enough.
LONDON, May 20 (Reuters) - Tesla is working to appease some European leasing companies after the automaker’s repeated retail price cuts tanked their fleets’ value and its slow service and expensive repairs alienated their corporate customers....
I hope everyone who can cancels their Tesla contracts and gets another fleet vehicle. Tesla fired enough people to signify they are getting out of both the car and battery business. So like, their whole fucking business. Elon destroyed Tesla’s future in a fit of pique.

Some do. As a Freshman in college I was an idiot because I was raised on years of conservative talk radio every day to and from school. Took a bit less than a year to realize all that shit was made up and get deprogrammed. Then it’s been a leftward trend ever since.
Belief is irrelevant. PR would always say this to downplay affects and keep supporters engaged. Apathy will kill Biden’s chances more than anything else.
This person needs to hire a cook and get a sex doll. Actually scratch that, door dash. He’s way too fucked to interact with other humans. I feel bad for anyone in his life.
Not all work. Just work you have to do to not starve. We have enough resources to provide a basic living for everyone. We can then use work as an incentive for more luxuries and encourage people to explore the types of work they want to do. Like creative endeavors. Pay more incentive for the work people dislike doing but is still necessary. We’ll figure out what work is actually necessary and what is just spinning wheels.
I often have a lot of time where nothing needs doing and there’s no meetings. The idea you always have to be working and creating is dumb as it means you always overwork everyone and miss targets. It’s better to have people standing by a % of the time than to be unable to perform when needed. It’s the entire concept of IT as well.
