Entirely irrelevant because anyone who puts together a large counter-revolutionary force to overthrow the United States and put a King back in charge or whatever they want to do is going to end up in GITMO before they have got very far.
There's BEEN a revolution. We won.

These conditions were wholly made-up by the government

That's how society runs. Citizens are supposed to take part in it but so few even bother to vote even if they don't like the conditions, thus special interest groups push conditions that are not so good for society.
The NRA is just a sporting club that does very badly with safety standards in it's sport FFS - yet they have so much political power because others don't bother to participate.

Those same conservatives say the 2nd amendment is perfect, simply because its old, and that it applies to any weapon invented since and any weapon we might invent in the future.

But they also say that "militia" means anyone of an age that can sign up for military service and that "well regulated" can be ignored because the language has changed (yes - they seriously do argue that shit). So don't expect anything logical or indeed conservative - instead it's self serving radical bullshit that they think can fool people into letting them play with guns as a penis substitute instead of a tool.
They think the trick is working because people in politics are swallowing it so they will get money and votes, but they forget that many in politics will pretend to believe anything if they can get an advantage out of it. This cynical second amendment shit is not fooling anyone - it's the foundations of the national guard and not the right for someone to have military weapons when they are too much of a coward to sign up to fight for the country.

It was illegal to do that in India a few year before it was illegal for you guys to keep slaves - you should have thought about that before you played the "backwards savages" card.
The current situation is based on current problems that can exist in places other than India (or toga parties in the USA).

Just like the decline and fall of Rome isn't it? Better get that fixed.

We did lose a PT-22, though

From the photos there is a lot of plane left - crash landing instead of crash.

He's done a lot but to be frank pulseaudio, avahi, NetworkManager and systemd have all caused me problems so I have tried to avoid them wherever possible, and at the risk of sounding like an old fart Mr Poettering comes across as a kid who grew up with MS Windows and just doesn't get that it's not the only way of doing things.
He's building a new ecosystem.
That's not a bad thing, but RedHat using it's influence to make that ecosystem dominate for reasons other than it's merits is the bad thing. I'd personally like the things I use to survive in the old ecosystem instead of having to move to a new one - cross platform instead of no choice other than a big monolith with Mr Poettering's name on it.

1/ The EPA sets and enforces rules.
2/ Examining the science behind that is the task of other orgs.
3/ Requiring the EPA to examine the science would either require cutting back on other actions or expanding the size of the EPA.


Thus since it's adding more functions without more funding it looks like a deliberate effort to make the EPA less effective in what it currently does.

That's how I see it. Can you see anything wrong with what I've written?

Not you, I'm quoting "Pieroxy" which is who "spire3661" was referring to.
If you are going to insult me then at least please try to keep up with the conversation.

If you think that's how it would work out in a greed driven society then I admire your optimism.

That attitude of a single platform has been present on and off with gnome since the start and was the reason why Enlightenment was the official window manager for gnome for only a couple of weeks. The merge killed cross platform support in Enlightenment and the attitude that it didn't matter drove off all of the Enlightenment developers. However all the gnome people from back then are probably long gone from the project - it became cross-platform after all, the very thing that they said was not important and they made fun of the Enlightenment developers who insisted it was.

gnome-session will be augmented by a per-user systemd instace, leveraging the benefits that systemd gives you for system startup also for session startup.

That text from your other link indicates a desire to go back to the bad old days of linux only gnome.

Ah yes. Forgot how rubbery the definition can be.

And anyone who jeopardizes that gets thrown out an airlock.

Who needs rule of law when you can have might makes right Chinese style?
You are just reinforcing a stereotype and we should probably both stop here before I pour on insults you probably don't deserve just because you've oversimplified things. I accept that the term means a lot of different things to different people - from those that wanted to crown Koch as a benevolent King a few years back to outright anarchists with a lot of less extreme stuff in the middle.
In most forms I believe it's very much about the individual at the expense of society and diametrically opposed to teamwork, nation building, and the foundation of the USA and other democratic nations, but that's just my opinion and don't let that put you off. It's up to you to learn the implications of your ideology and whether it is practical or not. When a sick kid also goes out the airlock despite there being enough resources to go around if pooled then that ideology looks a bit less shiny doesn't it?
OK, so I didn't stop. Let's just leave it where I don't respect selfishness relabelled as ideology and you probably don't see it in those terms as yet.

It was about climate science denial so some people would see that as a troll, but I agree that it's an abuse of mod points to vote for or against climate science by modding a post about climate science denial that is not offensive in any way.

And in just the last couple of days, EPA director Gina McCarthy, in testimony before Congress, demonstrated complete ignorance

It's the age of the MBA who is expected to be able to run an org without having the least fucking clue of what it does. You get your ticket via family connections plus money and suddenly you are born to the purple. If it was an interview with a leading advisor of the person in the sinecure that would be a different story, but here it's just another page added to the large pile of "political appointee to important job is an idiot out of their depth" stories.

Back to your earlier post, I can't see the EPA being able to function properly at it's current size with this clog being deliberately cast into the machinery of it's operation. Clearly attempted "sabotage" to expand their function to explain things they previously did not have to do and get tied up in court over it.

I should have written "I'll bet my left testicle systemd dependency fed someone's ego" instead of sounding like I had absolute proof. It's a guess from being on the gconf mailing list for years, seeing the behaviour there and extrapolating. We can't blame Miguel for that project or the systemd connections, there are others that are far more petty.

The movie actually made me think of a modernization of the Roman Republic as some Romans wanted it instead of how it was instead of being fascist.
