They do this all the time. Maybe Biden should call their bluff, execute his powers as Commander in Chief, and order the National Guard in Texas to turn on State Police.

Two things here. One is that you are confusing New York and New York City. I absolutely do believe an entire state can manage better than a city. The second thing is that Texas and other border states do receive federal funds for managing the border. Not as much as maybe they require but they do get federal help.
Mines a bit different, but similar. "If you see someone shoplifting, no you didn't" only applies to chain stores. Walmart? Fuck 'em. Target? Get all you can. Local boutique store downtown? The fuck is wrong with you, go steal from a corporation that deserves it.
Nah, there is always more Intel to be gained. We've seen how Russia fares against those weapon systems and now it's a question of how will they change their strategy? If the US makes a prediction about new Russian doctrine, will the US assessment be accurate or does the US intelligence apparatus need to rethink it's analysis procedure. In a conflict heavy with drone usage, what can we learn about their use and more importantly, countermeasures, both on the adversarial side and blue side.
Anyway my point is that there is always more to learn from your opponent.
So I've done a lot of world traveling. Now when I'm with my friends, who have never left the US, I ironically act snobby about dumb shit. "This pizza isn't as good as the pizza I had in Italy" "This isn't as good as German beer" "This sushi isn't like the real sushi in Japan" "if this spider was from Australia I'd already be dead"
There is concern that Threads will use embrace, extend, extinguish to depreciate the ActiviyPub protocol. Essentially, they adopt the open standard, expand on it with proprietary additions, then when everyone is using the modified standard they drop support for the open standard and now everyone has to play ball by their rules.
Well it's a .ru domain so that site is russian and there is this bit
That is why the current government of Burkina Faso needs Russian assistance not only to ensure victory over terrorism, but also to carry out effective economic reforms, create new jobs, and develop resources on equal terms.
Which doesn't mean anything per se but it's kinda suspect.

Well two things. One, the bed has that weird slope on the side meaning you have to get things directly from the tailgate if you aren't tall enough to reach over.
The second and more important factor: the target demographic. Country boys that do that kind of shit deride electric vehicles.
Red dress? That sounds like some lgbtxyz woke extreme leftism. Everyone knows the first amendment shields me from any criticism for the words I say and allows me to openly push my flavor of Christianity.
Does it matter? Endlessly pontificating about the true nature of reality serves no purpose. If I'm driving and I'm about to hit a tree, reality doesn't give a single fuck if I consider "well maybe the tree isn't really there. How can I truly know?"
Like, I was talking with a guy and he was saying shit about how can we truly know that what I say is the color green is the same as what you see? It just feels mastubatory. It's what words are for. If that guy asks me to go to the store and buy forest green paint from a certain brand and I come back with forest green paint from that brand he's not going to worry about whether or not we see the exact same shade.
This question popped into my head when I was playing Void Stranger. I just got done with the game and will probably never play it again despite not finishing it. The game is genuinely amazing but it just gets so demanding as you progress through it. I ended up watching the second half of the game on YouTube....
There Is a game call Ancient Domains of Mystery (ADoM) that has been around since the early 90's. It's a traditional Roguelike that I picked up and started playing in 2003 and I have yet to actually beat the game. I have thousands of hours on it in Steam and much much more than that before the Steam release and I have yet to actually win. It's hard.
