50,000?!

I only saw news about the Tripoli and Boxer which combined carry about 5,000 marines.

The Republicans have distilled their hatred to be only for “biological sex” and included a specific exemption for that in the text of the bill.

Windows 11 might be usable if it gets a wine port so it can run windows apps.

Why is an ICE agent filming with a cell phone?

White men are already a minority. The only way they can imagine that white men “hold a collective majority” is if they imagine that White men hold other people (like White women or their non-White subordinates).

He was already in a bunch of published stuff. I think he’s in one of the court complaints and the long released flight logs.

Making things up doesn’t help anybody. If you remembered the source of the allegation you could have just gone and checked.

The “pee tapes”

I have a sudden horrible feeling that “Bubba” was a dog.

I noticed that my colleagues that didn’t turn webcams on were all women, so I started turning mine off for anything I thought they might attend.

Dogs love pumpkin. Dogs love cinnamon.

10s of thousands of nothing. Hundreds of thousands isn’t even enough that “economic growth” at the expense of increased costs and greater inequity would be a net benefit.

A complete Greenland slide-off would be an average sea level rise of about 7m, and is possible in our lifetimes as an extreme event (something like a fraction of a percent chance before 2100). If it happened it would be multiple events really, spread out across years or decades. Antarctic ice moving so its weight is no longer supported by the continent was too unlikely to include in models a few years ago, but the West Antarctic has been so active that I’d expect it to start showing up in estimates.

That’s because you’re the victim of a crime: extortion

No, terrible record keeping is exactly what caused this, according to the anonymous whistleblower: warranty work on the door was performed without any records being created for it due to boeing keeping two record keeping systems, one that was the system of record and one that was used as visibility for management.

No, the NTSB said that Boeing hadn’t provided them with the records, not that orders for the reinstallation hadn’t been made. Boeing is now trying to blame the lack of records to follow-up on on employees, even though none of the work should have been possible without the records existing in the first place.

Boeing absolutely shouldn’t be trying to get out ahead of the NTSB investigation with their own deflecting interpretation of what the NTSB has uncovered and shared with Boeing, which is probably along the lines of the anonymous whistleblower from a few months ago who detailed failings in the record keeping process before the senate hearings revealed that Boeing hadn’t provided the NTSB with the records (which according to the anonymous whistleblower didn’t exist because they were never created)
