I once bought a HP Elitebook on the basis of a very good repairability score from iFixit. It was a shit laptop but the big problem was that as it started breaking I found it impossible to find parts for it. It doesn’t matter if it’s held together by torx screws with no glue if you can’t actually get any parts.
The “recruiting base” is already there. They’re joining ICE now.
Probably a combination of that and Russia finally starting to run out of meat. They’ve been missing their recruiting goals for the last several months. Russia will have to start using general mobilization soon, something they have been very reluctant to do. This is probably why they are finally starting to move forward on ceasefire talks.
Just going to leave this here:

They’re putting a lot of chemicals in the water. Some are messing with frog reproduction.
Bradley is surprisingly good considering all the “Pentagon Wars” development hell. I think a lot of people still think its junk. When it was more effective than the Abrams in Iraq the theory was that the fighting there mostly didn’t require tanks. In Ukraine of course, the fighting was very mechanized in the beginning until equipment losses and drones ended it.
And the Bradley still did very well, better than the MBTs. At this point I think it’s reasonable to wonder if MBTs are obsolete, if not all tanks. A lightly-armored vehicle like a Bradley is going to be no more vulnerable against modern MANPATS and drones than a MBT, but it’s going to provide just as effective protection against small arms. It’s easier to maintain, longer range, and it can do more missions.
Alex Jones continues to be correct about the “what” and utterly wrong about the “who.”
She’s supported by the charter school PACs, Paul Vallas, and MAGA alderman Raymond Lopez. Truly odious people.

Lots of chuds in the UK…
They do. The idea is to target people who don’t have other options. Say you don’t have a car and this is the only grocery store you can easily get to.
Yes I think they learned about CBP playing with lasers possibly after the fact. FAA told CBP to stop, CBP said “no” so the FAA issued a complete airspace shutdown.
People here are blaming racism and Obama and that is part of it, but another bigger factor is 2008 is the year neoliberalism died. And unlike in 1932 there wasn’t any reckoning with it, holding anyone to blame or charting a positive vision for what might replace it. Obamaism ended up being a bunch of empty platitudes and the attempt to just bandage things up and keep rolling. Bernie tried to name perpetrators and chart a positive vision (back to the 1930s at least) but he was ratfucked. So ever since we’ve been living in this hypernormal world where everything sucks, everything’s getting worse, nobody believes in anything and an increasingly fringe set up carnival barkers are the only people with any resonance.

This was already exposed by the Ehud Barak emails but that dump wasn’t covered by anyone except Dropsite and a few other organizations like Jacobin

The Potawatomi already own half of downtown Milwaukee. If they get downtown Chicago back they’ll be ballin.
So is @wineg@sh.itjust.works banned or is @sh.itjust.works banned? I was subbed to some channels there and noticed that federation of comments didn’t seem to be working.
Elon had similar PR until he fired them for not “keeping it real.”
You could probably just buy Stellantis for a fiver. A lot of the Ontario factories are theirs anyway. You could even let Bombardier run it and there’s no way they can do worse than the way it’s currently being run.
“It’s at 90 PSI and is 80 percent air, 15 percent water, and 5 percent oil,”
Something’s seriously wrong with the air system then, and it will contaminate all their work and compromise the welds. Water is a particularly pernicious contaminant in welding because it causes hydrogen in the weld that will make it brittle and crack.
Welding shops have to be CLEAN. There are some welding processes that can work ok with dirty metal (SMAW with some electrode types) but these only work on mild steel, and these processes really aren’t used in a shop or production setup, more for field work.
Sure the parts I needed weren’t available. Which is probably the problem with these iFixit scores. They should really wait for the laptop to be a few years old and then look and see if the stuff that’s actually breaking on the laptop are actually repairable with the parts available.
For this particular laptop even though it had a really good iFixit score, I couldn’t even buy a new touchpoint nub (or whatever HP calls it). The old one completely disintegrated but the nub was different than other HP laptops, so the ones I tried to buy (even for other elitebooks) wouldn’t fit. The nub the laptop needed simply wasn’t available anywhere.
