If you aren't dealing with the hassle of key management, you shouldn't consider your data encrypted.

The SD card was inside of a camera rated for the depth it was at. The camera looks like a thermos with inch-thick walls. The camera housing was dinged up by being adjacent to the sub's implosion, but did not implode itself. The energy of the nearby implosion ripped components off of the camera's PCB, but didn't harm the SD card. This makes sense, because the SD card is light and compact.

The sub's computer bay was a much different story. It was filled with air and when it imploded, everything inside was charred and crushed into a lump that mangled every PCB and cracked every chip with more than a few pins. They specifically looked at the PCBs of the SSDs, hoping to find some data, but those PCBs looked like crumpled up paper. I think the report called it, eloquently, "distorted on all axes"

A diesel engine runs at 14:1 up to 25:1 compression, and the heat of this compression is literally what ignites the fuel. The computer bay implosion was more like 400:1, which superheated all surfaces, but only for a few microseconds.

Unions were patient zero of enshittification. They did some good in the 19th cenutry and now mostly exist to convert dues into lavish lifestyles for the "leadership".

And because he is a fucking retard, his scapegoat is imaginary.

Every graph of school spending looks like this or this, a brutal reality that everyone who pays school taxes knows quite well.

Plastic packaging disposal is super easy for me.

My area has a waste to energy facility (an incinerator) that burns all of our trash. Our recycling goes through a single-sort facility, then all paper and plastic from that stream gets burned in the incinerator too.

At this point, I think of my plastic waste as natural gas that had been borrowed temporarily from the local power plant.

LOL. MAGA cities.

We have Rock solid evidence that approximately 7 million Americans got denied the right to vote using common voter suppression tactics last election.

I LOLd. What you have is rock solid evidence of 7 million fraudulent votes in 2020 when all 50 state election systems were in chaos.

This is known in the business as the Maddow Defense.

People are slowly waking up to the truth that this was never about labor costs. The Chinese government deliberately built up their industrial capacity because production becomes power over time. They used every trick in the book to become attractive to manufacturing. For a while, cheap labor was one of the tools they had, but Chinese labor hasn't been cheap for a long time now. Sometimes now it is even more expensive than American labor, but we still can't compete because we've lost those skills, that knowledge, those networks.

WW2 was over before it started because America had the industrial capacity to outbuild the rest of the world combined, in every category. WW3 will go exactly the same way for exactly the same reasons, but it this time it won't be America.

My estimate is that approximately 7 billion people are alive today who would not be alive without oil and gas.

No, SCOTUS did not rule that. They didn't need to - the word "corporation" literally means "person".

What the Citizens United ruling really said was that humans didn't lose their political and first amendment rights when they work together with other humans using a structured organization.

When I tried opening my spreadsheets in Calc, anything that had dates in them was broken. Libre Office forces dates to follow the Libre Office locale setting, which in America is absolute garbage.

I can override any components of the default locale in Windows, and Excel uses the specifics provided by the operating system. That means that all of my spreadsheets that use sane dates (ISO 8601) work in Excel, and fail in Calc.

This has been a known problem for more than a decade, if the bug reports and forum posts I've found are accurate. The proposed workaround is to edit the locale definition and recompile the office suite.

To implement this policy directive, DOC was tasked to make releasable portions of the catalog available to the public either directly or through a partnership with industry and/or academia. DOC was also tasked to assess whether statutory and regulatory changes are necessary to affect this change in responsibilities.

Under the prior administration, DOC was unable to complete a government owned and operated public-facing database and traffic coordination system. In the convening time, private industry has proven that they have the capability and the business model to provide civil operators with SSA data and STM services using the releasable portion of the DOD catalog. Furthermore, DOD Space Command confirmed that even after DOC completed its SSA system, USSPACECOM will continue to maintain the authoritative space catalog and will remain the provider of SSA and space domain awareness data supporting national security issues in space, including classified data sharing and threat awareness in support of mission requirements.

The Administration confirms the intent of SPD-3 has been satisfied by supporting private industry to provide SSA services, including through offerings of both a free basic service as well as fee-based concierge services to civil operators. DOC will continue to monitor the use of SSA services by civil operators to determine whether additional policies are warranted to ensure space remains a safe domain to operate.

You sound vaccinated.
