It’s Schroeder’s war. The classification changes depending on the political context.

It is a war in contexts where not calling it a war would be politically harmful (like denying thousands of wounded Americans benefits). It is not a war in contexts where calling it a war would imply that the president vastly overstepped their constitutional bounds.

Eh, gallows humor from a random nobody is one thing. Joking about basically ending the world as we know it from someone who literally has the power to end the world as we know it is another.

This faux pas is certainly not at the top of my list of criticisms of Reagan, but he did deserve some shit for it.

Behind the Bastards has a great 6 parter on Kissinger:

For anyone unfamiliar with how kernel support works, unless you manually installed your kernel you don’t need to worry about this.

Distros that shipped 6.5 will continue to support 6.5 during their normal release/support cycle and back port any important patches as needed (or they will update their packages to 6.6).

That has to be the single most infuriatingly rambling article I’ve ever come across. The author had to have been paid by the word.

If you think he did something illegal, report him to the police or sue him. If not, then this is freedom of speech.

…and? People also have freedom of association, and people can choose not to associate with an organization that employs someone with morally awful beliefs - especially when they make those beliefs very public.

The only thing I’ve heard you want to be mindful of is to bring the temp up a little slowly rather than just starting out at high temp (especially with induction, which heats up even faster). Too rapid of a temperature change can cause the pan to crack from thermal shock.

It’s crypto all over again, but with a less-useless technology underpinning it. Seriously, a computer doing grade school arithmetic is what will threaten humanity? I’m sure it’s interesting from a research perspective how that math is being done, but math is the easiest thing for a computer to do.

I would love to see the cost/feasibility of boosting to a stable/graveyard orbit. The ISS is massive and not built for that kind of maneuver, but it would be great to be able to preserve it for the future.

It also prohibits countries from claiming sovereignty, and it actually used the Antarctic treaty for inspiration.

Which is not to say that it’s exactly the same situation as Antarctica, but the treaties are more similar than you might assume.
