So can the US military. We’re talking about reality though, not what’s technically legal.

They’re going to make the soldiers’ life a living hell for not following orders all the way through the inevitable court martial trial.

Yeah it is clear as day here. Airflow is inadequate while the product is in use on hotter days.

AmTrak is designed to suck. Freight lines own most of the rails, and while they are required to give priority to passenger trains, they avoid this in several ways. Like having the freight trains too long to fit on side rails so the passenger trains are required to stop instead to make way.

They’re referring to the shifting variance between political sides and the range expressed between them. The Overton Window usually.

The Overton window is the range of subjects and arguments politically acceptable to the mainstream population at a given time. It is also known as the window of discourse. The key to the concept is that the window changes over time; it can shift, or shrink or expand. It exemplifies “the slow evolution of societal values and norms”.

Outside of this window you still have Left and Right, but they’re the more extreme beliefs that the general populace doesn’t currently accept. The window shifting over time means something that would have been considered absolutely insane 20 years ago, could be entirely mainstream now.

A current example would be federal deployment of the military to handle local protests when there is no declared State of Emergency and local government doesn’t need or want assistance.

It doesn’t even require belief.

2+2=5 for sufficiently large values of 2.

While a facetious statement in general, it is factual if those values derive from rounding. Significant Digits must be maintained.

I feel like it would be more difficult to manage a system to figure out which one is dirty, rather than just emptying it.

Just get ones that have a metal door, and magnetic sign that says dirty or clean.

You’re wrong, but I understand why you think that way. You’re almost surely focusing on the concrete aspects of life, not the things you just live everyday without thinking about, like just talking to people, small talk, filling awkward silences, etc. I’m not suggesting the #1 priority is to catch up on the Kardashians, but it’s about having something in common to talk about with people around them.

Their entire life has been prison for 11 years, they need something current to be able to talk to regular people about while going about their day. Otherwise they will feel like an outcast that knows nothing about current society and cannot relate to anyone on any level because they don’t know what the people are talking about or referencing. It’s literally the Captain America “I understood that reference” situation.

They’re going to be treated as an outcast by a lot of society simply because they have a record. Anything that helps them connect will help.

This entire topic is about the help that the younger sibling can help with. Current social trends are exactly what they can help with, easily, it’s what they already live daily. They’re an expert on that.

I know others will mention some of the personal things, so I’ll instead focus on ways to help him try to reintegrate with everyday life and society socially.

You could start to try to help with some things he will interact with daily. The chances of him knowing about basically anything electronic you use now on a daily basis are slim. This is one of the biggest daily interactions that many former inmates have trouble with and betting up to speed on in modern society.

For some perspective, 11 years ago was 2014, and the launch of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. All the advancements since then will be new. LTE actually being widespread and usable, 5G even being a thing at all.

An offshoot of those are things like TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, etc. which are massive social media hubs now, but didn’t exist then. Heck, Vine was technically still around for a couple years after he went in. Educating about changes to media consumption and social media use can help with integration back into society, and suggesting some recent things to catch up on can provide recent and relevant topics of conversation for daily life.

It’s still known for electronic _box sales. Especially around graphics card releases.

While true, this requires them understanding that it is an illegal order in the first place, and suffering the consequences of that action in the meantime. Just because they’re following the law and doing the right thing, they most likely will still be punished in the short term for not following orders, even if those orders end up being determined to be illegal.

Similar to being illegally detained and arrested by police. There is not much you can do about it at the time, fighting with the officer will only make it worse. You argue the legality of it after the fact.

Ancestry stuff has been pretty popular in the US for decades, DNA testing for it is relatively new but just the next easy step.

That’s because when it comes to Apple, hypocrisy is the way of life.

So they decided that magnetic joycons versus a new rail design were worth another set of drift lawsuits.

Because any potential new drift lawsuit is going to cite the old one as clear proof that Nintendo knew what would happen, had the opportunity to change the design so it didn’t, and decided to do it again anyway.

Companies neglecting to tell existing voice talent with years of experience playing specific characters that they’re being replaced is actually fairly common. With how clearly Nintendo DGAF about anyone lately it’s not surprising at all. They may not have planned to tell her at all officially and someone took it upon themselves when they found out shortly before launch.

Many/Most companies view voice talent as completely expendable and replaceable. For camera talent, you have the person’s image as well, but with voice talent, in most cases people won’t notice the actor being replaced. Especially since vocal impersonation is so common.

Of course it is. Unless they switched to hall effect sticks, which they already said they weren’t doing. For whatever reason, they still want to save the pennies instead of using the better component even after the previous issues and lawsuits. Why do companies insist on shooting themselves in the foot constantly?

Starlink provides service to areas where fiber is impossible. Like the middle of the ocean and actual rural areas where fiber runs could be tens of miles or more between homes. Those are area where no one will build out fiber unless the homeowner is paying for it themselves, the various government programs would never cover those actual rural areas despite what they claim. At best they might cover city outskirts for new infrastructure, where fiber nodes are already relatively close by. They’re never adding fiber to existing rural farms and ranches.

They are not a 1:1 service comparison. You would need to compare It to other satellite providers, and there isn’t a comparison because all of those are dogshit in comparison to Starlink.

There’s a reason it’s as popular as it is so quickly despite satellite internet in general not being new. The low earth satellite constellation means a massive difference in capability compared to conventional geostationary satellites. Multiple second latency, slow downloads nowhere near advertised double digit Mbps speeds, single digit Mbps upload speeds and often monthly data limits as low as 50GB per month are what the conventional satellite providers offer.

You realize that with a federated system they’re not just handling their own users right? They could defederate from the servers that host users causing issues, but that also means all of their users cannot interact with all those communities, without a choice. Lemmy currently only provides a sledgehammer when they really just need more fine tools.

It’s not just federated networks. It is anything with user interaction. Managing and moderating any sort of sizeable social media site is a lot harder than people think.

Fascinating how quickly you can forget the actual abuse when thinking about an abusive ex.

For random password dumps going through thousands of accounts it’s probably fine, but if you’re targeted for some reason and they get just a couple passwords. With even just 2 passwords, that system may be obvious already to someone looking to gain access to your accounts specifically.
