Jeez, who pulled you out of /r/thedonald’s casket? Are they reassigning people to haunt Lemmy now?

they flew at approximately 100 meters altitude directly over the radar station

Ehh, this is like saying “this million-dollar tank was unable to fire at a mosquito only one meter away from the driver”. There’s such a thing as a minimum engagement distance.

Lots of international manufacturers skip model numbers 4 and 9 because of Asian superstitions. Silly, yes, but they affect sales and even birth rates.

At least in Japanese, 4 sounds like “death” and 9 sounds like “suffering”.

Unpopular opinion, but the judge was right. There would be zero benefit to society to reward this absolute cybersquatter. There’s an almost zero benefit to reward a corporation. Both bad, but the corporation should get it in this case.

The correction helped me realize what you meant though.

He meant “lost it” as in outran a pursuer? (I thought lost it as in “the thing is broken” at first).

…when the Tate brothers arrived by private plane in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, they immediately found themselves in the crosshairs of law enforcement once more, as Customs and Border Protection officials seized their electronic devices.

This time, they had a powerful ally come to their aid. Behind the scenes, the White House intervened on their behalf.

Interviews and records reviewed by ProPublica show a White House official told senior Department of Homeland Security officials to return the devices to the brothers several days after they were seized. The official who delivered the message, Paul Ingrassia, is a lawyer who previously represented the Tate brothers before joining the White House, where he was working as its DHS liaison.

In his written request, a copy of which was reviewed by ProPublica, Ingrassia chided authorities for taking the action, saying the seizure of the Tates’ devices was not a good use of time or resources. The request to return the electronics to the Tates, he emphasized, was coming from the White House.>>>>

Calm down, Donald.

I see… TIL, thanks.

You mean because Twitter is an SMS-based messaging app?.. The character limits are arbitrary, not a technical limitation. Which is why they doubled them at one point, I believe.

The limits were meant to act as a micro-blogging enforcement measure, for micro attention spans.

They taste just like raisins.

Sorry, there were limited places available, you’re not on the list. Better luck next universe.

EDIT: listen people, please stop writing us. If you have to ask whether you’re on the list, you’re not on it.

I think it’s great that they’re keeping their traditional garments. I wouldn’t mock anyone with the cultural strength to do so. More cultures should have done it. (Edit: I know you’re not trying to insult them in particular, I was making more of a “by the way” comment.)

That is fun. TIL.

This actually ties together a lot of his actions in the past while. This is what’s on his mind.

Agreed. Unnecessary and obscure reference thrown in because it’s obscure but “intriguing”.

“A small amount of such material can be almost like Hermione’s handbag in Harry Potter. It can store huge amounts of gas in a tiny volume.”

Incidentally, that was probably Jesus’s wedding to Mary Magdalene. Because why, when you run out of wine at a wedding, would you (as a servant) run to one of the guests to tell them that?

Only sandwiches made by by the Earl of Sandwich are allowed to be called sandwiches. Y’all just eating savory bread cake.

This is like a spine-tingling revelation in a horror movie… One of the main persons the US is relying on to stop Donald Trump (the leader of the democratic party) is profoundly mentally unwell and unfit, and has been for decades.

The killer is loose in the house and none of the doors are locked.

I covfefe to differ.
