Amusing. Immediately bumped to +5 by the same bunch of knuckleheads that would condemn anyone pointing out that public sector unions are the reason for this clown world nonsense as a Nazi.

911 operators make above median wage in most states. In Louisiana, $45,373 compared to $31,138 median (individual). Median household is $60,756.

The E911 system has included location data since... well since you don't know that, and you're on a website for nerds, since before you were born. If you were older, hackers getting arrested for "stealing" E911 related documents was kindof a big thing that everybody talked about. For various reasons.

There's a few books about it that nerds all read.

We need AI to handle the increased volume of calls caused by more extreme weather events caused by massive energy consumption caused by AI data centers...

Now watch the "fired" officers get hired the next day in another jurisdiction.

This isn't about them building nukes, it's about letting more US ships visit their ports, and removing an annoyance from the military cooperation.

When the US first started operating the F-35 and did a large scale fly-by just outside North Korean airspace, to announce it afterwards and scare the North Koreans, the Japanese F-35's were right there flying with them. Any regional conflict they're likely to be fighting with the US, regardless of how their laws require them to phrase it. Increasing cooperation benefits them, and port visits bring in money.

None of that has anything to do with the reliability of the US nuclear shield, or the depth of our commitment to Japan.

Don't be a moron who acts like there's only one issue in the world.

Unlikely that it would require withdrawing from the NPT, because the US would likely give them permission and nobody cares what France thinks.

The US is the only country with a large stockpile that's following the monitoring rules, so what can they say? The answer is, "When your compliance is up to date we'll be ready to review your complaint."

Nobody on slashdot is going to click some bullshit link. We're either smart enough to do research from reliable sources, and/or cynical enough to know links will always be bullshit. And seriously... a site called "less wrong?" That's like if you're arguing about programming, and I'm an embedded engineer, so you quote a For Dummies book.

And... lurn yus sum histery. You didn't even understand what I said yet, how can you argue? And you don't know what your counter-argument is, you just think somebody else might have counter-argument. But you can't express it. Because you don't know.

Not-see go home.

Nope, you failed even worse by not being able to match the pattern you actually used, and instead just regurgitated a known-true one.

Probably LRO vs. Danuri

There is another way. It will take far longer, but may not have as much fuel requirements. Instead of catching up to it, stopping it, then reaccelerating back to Earth, you would meet the probe in space then push it a long, loping arc back to Earth, all the while reducing your speed. Conserve its momentum rather than cutting it.

Again, this would take far longer, and is possibly more dangerous, but it is an alternative.

If?

20-something poor students are literally bathed in rigging the instant they experience initial contact with post-secondary education in the US. They know, with metaphysical certitude, that rigging runs their world, and whatever goes on a polymarket is but the least of it. Only the clinically naïve somehow miss this.

That's where I stopped. NPR wine women language. These people have no problem with all manner of "ghastly" things going on, as long as it serves their virtues. I'm inclined to chalk this up to yet another moral panic among the privileged, and few others. When you look closely at the entire opioid conspiracy that went on in this country, you find an endless supply of NPR listening pant suited professional babushkas managing the clinics, pencil whipping the audits, and indulging their limitless altruism while safely ensconced in their gated suburban mcmansions.

Fuck these people and their latest crisis. Nothing going on at polymarket is a patch to the harm they do.
