"Without them" implied that with them (status quo) the consequences listed would not be occurring.

Pretty sure no human lived at the Trinity test site or anywhere else in the test sites where weapons were detonated, especially at the moment of detonation. And I'm pretty sure none have since moved onto those sites either. Hence "inhabited". It's not like we nuked cities and towns.

And which of the changes he listed would the 95% figure you mentioned care about? By your definition, short of literally turning each feature into a micro transaction, there's no such thing as user unfriendly changes - and knowing the general public, not even then.

But that's never how magic is depicted - it always takes decades of knowledge and learning or powerful enchanted artifacts forged from rare minerals and materials, and rituals which always name a price.

Modern magic can do all those things - if you have the right artifacts, likewise made of precious metals forged by lightning and etched with beams of sunfire and inlaid with gemstones from beyond the sea, fuelled by the ichor alchemically distilled from the remnants of ancient forests and carefully assembled by entire courts of white-robed magi who have each spent decades perfecting their deep knowledge of ritual and arcane lore.

With these artifacts, I can incinerate an entire room with a twitch of my finger upon a staff of fire summoning, read minds with a helm of probing, lightning people with a tiny wand of stunning, and conjure familiar from across the world to do my bidding on my black mirror for the small sacrifice of tiny particles of lightning in a distant runestone.

You mean everything you mention isn't already happening in multiple states?

Didn't say they weren't entitled to know about it, just the reasoning that might've gone through the government's collective heads when not disclosing or looking the other way on Boeing doing an Epstien.

I mean there may simply have been internal reports already, just highly classified to avoid "embarrassing" the nation and not accessible or known to the general public.

And how about if I decide to go out with my cousin this fall to hunt a few animals in the most painful and excruciating way possible, prolonging their death for the thrill of the hunt?

Have you tried Owncast for self-hosted FOSS fediverse streaming? You literally can't get banned on it because you host your own stream, same with self-hosting a lemmy instance. Like, other streaming instances can defederate from you, but you can never be banned off your own stream.

Because of you I just had two slices of bacon and two eggs for breakfast, how does that make you feel? I've also got at least 15 chicken wings and drumsticks in my fridge and a couple racks of beef ribs, along with several wedges of hard and soft cow cheeses. How does that make you feel?

Marine veteran Ivan Snook set social media aflame on Sunday after posting that the U.S. military should stop allowing enlisted service members to become officers.

“Mustangs erode the esteem, legitimacy and distinct culture of the officer corps like merchants marrying into the aristocracy,” Snook posted on X. “Nevertheless, we are intent on lowering the standards and reducing military service to being ‘just a job’ asap.”

What an asshole.

What are some good alternatives? I really, really like cheese stuffed crust, but if I can get it without apparently supporting Nestlé, that'd be even better.

 

Millions of tons of sargassum wash up on beaches across North America every year. Exposure can lead to breathing problems, and it costs millions to clean it up. Now, one Mexican entrepreneur is building houses out of bricks made from the invasive species.

 

The bitter fight between Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Rep. Byron Donalds over a line about slavery in the state’s revised African American history standards is infuriating several prominent Black conservatives.

Received a gif in private messages of a nude woman shitting from a user with slur-filled username n-word n-word f-word, home instance lemmy.world, which I can't post here because of the slurs in their username.

Is there a way to delete the message, and report the sender? I already blocked the sender, but the gif is still in my inbox.

 

I've been hearing about a browser extension called DeArrow that replaces the thumbnails and titles with non-clickbait versions. Is that something that I can activate on Revanced?

 

Any tips on getting more consistent, and fitting both wrench and pick into tighter keyholes? Or is the latter just a matter of getting a more diverse set of wrenches and picks?

SSBN. ETV. Will not respond to questions about sensitive or classified subjects. My views are my own and I do not represent anyone.

Hi there!

Edit: since this has been asked several times:

SSBN stands for “submersible ship, ballistic missile, nuclear powered”. That is, the same overall type of ship as the Red October.

ETV stands for “Electronics Technican, Navigation”, because N was already taken by Nuclear Electronics Technicians. I work with everything from interior communications and announcing circuits to Electronics, shipwide atmospheric monitoring, navigational inertial gyroscopes, strategic nuclear missile navigation, and tank level indicators to basic underwater submarine navigation using the voyage management system and even helming the ship itself.
