Genuine question: are you saying the harbor pilot/guide/whatever should have somehow simply fixed a total loss of power and control surfaces caused by negligent maintenance practices on a ship larger than the spaceship Enterprise instead of using those few minutes warning authorities to limit death and damage?

Interesting, however I am a bit confused why you are being so disingenuous and straight up lying. Surely the right wing dogwhistles you used are just a misunderstanding on my part.

One of his signs claimed that Mr. Trump and President Biden were “about to fascist coup us.”

he said his critical views of the American government were shaped by his research into Peter Thiel, the technology billionaire…

“Trump’s in on it,” Mr. Azzarello said on Thursday. “It’s a secret kleptocracy, and it can only lead to an apocalyptic fascist coup.”

It looks like he struggled heavily with mental illness, and shows all the hallmarks of old school deep state conspiracy theorists.

TBF they literally won a total war against the greatest military powers back to back and built the foundation for one of the rising stars of the region today.

Something like 90% home ownership rates, a HOT labor market, low cost of living, incredible food, a friendly and honest culture, 4.4% poverty rate, a serious effort to improve development metrics (universal healthcare, literacy rate, maternal care, etc)…

Sure sounds like the fight was worth it compared to how the US-aligned developing countries turned out.

So far, sentiment seems very understanding of the tough situation and a call that had unforeseen circumstances.

Except, oh wait, it’s all bullshit passive voice copaganda.

From the literal article:

Los Angeles officer Jordan Head had a 40-millimeter bean bag gun, but before he could aim it at the suspect, Jones fired his AR-15 three times.

Head “did not discharge the 40-millimeter launcher because, before he could aim, rounds were fired, and the suspect fell to the ground and was no longer an immediate threat,” according to the Justice Department analysis of the shooting.

Officer Michael Mazur, who assumed command of the scene on arrival, told Jones to “slow down” multiple times, and at some point later told Head “It’s f—– up.  We tried to slow it down.”

Go crazy lol

This is a common feature on high-end microphones. Typically there will be some toggle on the mic itself to disable the feedback.

It’s the same reason you see conservatives spew their bullshit talking points despite being debunked already.

To a creature that fundamentally does not understand logic, that’s all debates and laws are. Just spewing random magical words until one side goes away or gets violent.

But I’m sure we can just vote them out.

I’d like to add some context as some people may take a misinformed meaning from this.

Lo’i are a small part of the deeply rooted native Hawaiian cultural tradition.

This culture integrates the idea of environmental responsibility so deeply that it is hard to describe in one comment.

For example, the Kingdom was divided into narrow triangles starting in the mountain and ending at the sea. Chiefs were responsible for the entire slice of the ecosystem. Fresh water was considered a sacred resource and being greedy would literally get you beaten to death.

Lo’i function to reduce erosion and the taro family was the staple crop of the islands before colonization. These work by constantly flowing water through them. You divert part of a stream, irrigate your shallow ponds, and return the water to the stream.

The rest of the article this comment doesn’t mention is how rainfall is becoming more sporadic - more dry days, and more heavy rain days where the water has no time to enter the watershed and just pours into the ocean.

While there is absolutely merit in adapting our current techniques to current conditions, this is ignoring the brutal colonization that killed over 90% of native Hawaiians and to this day diverts the profit produced by local labor back to the mainland while burning every last resource down.

There used to be entire forests of sandalwood there.

Some species travel better than others! Think a relatively small ball of roots vs a sprawling deep root network.

Whoaa, hang on, let’s show Ford some respect.

He also crashes his perfectly functional planes on airport taxiways instead of the runway ATC directs him to.

Usually Gary’s comics need to be enjoyed through the lens of boomer absurdism.

It’s not necessarily a bad thing, there’s literally just no deeper joke than “guy working at bomb factory never makes an error”
