I’m fairly sure there’s historical and cultural reasons for the Okinawa bases being disliked amongst the locals. There was like a little war thingy you may have heard of, I believe it was the second of its’ series.

Anyway.

I’m from one of those countries where NATO troops and equipment get stationed. Most locals seem to be grateful, I know I am. Putin will be too scared to make any moves if there are both American AND British troops in our bases.

I think it depends on how you hold it.

Ah, I see you looked it up in the dictionary

city centre mall

how do my … 20 years of experience with explosives fit in there?

Have you ever played GTA Vice City?

3:30 AM is probably the best time to be driving on the Autobahn, too. Can’t believe nobody’s using it at that time.

lead to Russians running into Narva

I have bad news for you

It’s also not short for chili con carne y tomates, so by that logic it’d be weird to put tomatoes in there too lol

No

I think it means not round of ammo but round as in a unit of time during which you can shoot. Sounds more reasonable, no?

I’d prefer she didn’t come with my car anyway. Wife would have questions and honestly she doesn’t seem all that interesting.

Donald Duck however? Yes please

It has Antonio Banderas in it, how could it not be good?

Fun fact: the character of Van Wilder is based on the comedian Bert Kreischer who also went to college for way too many years. You might know him for accidentally joining the Russian mafia

That’s not even 50 years ago lmao

I’m saying they might send people the bill and then these people (well, companies) are going to have to fight it in court, where they’ll be right for sure, but Microsoft can make a lot of stupid arguments to prolong the whole thing, to the point where it’s cheaper to pay the license fee. For one they could say that continued use of the operating system constitutes agreement to licenses and pricing.

Either way this is server 2025 not windows 12. We’re talking about companies here, not people.

It is, but they never forced anyone to take the update, so that might save their asses, or it might not

Ah, but did you read the article?

MS didn’t force it, Heimdal auto-updated it for their customers based on the assumption that Microsoft would label the update properly instead of it being labeled as a regular security patch. Microsoft however made a mistake (on purpose or not? Who knows…) in labeling it.

His official title is commander-in-chief. The generals answer to him AFAIK.

I reckon that in all likelihood the Project 2025 folks will piss him off at some point and he’ll just throw a tantrum and refuse to work with them. Doesn’t mean he’ll suddenly turn into a leftist, but if he doesn’t play ball, they’ll have trouble getting anything passed.

Yea but with the republicans you already sorta expect it. Harris pivoted from a really sensible campaign that honestly I think would’ve won, to “look at all these rich people, celebrities and even right-wing warmongers who support me!” - and while I get the point - a dirtbag like Cheney supporting Harris is a sign of how fucked up Trump REALLY is - the message might not have been as clear to everyone.

2020-2024 had one Supreme Court Justice to appoint. Now there’s another 2 if not 3

And you bet your ass they’ll appoint them as young as possible so they’ve got their pocket justices for another 40 or 50 years.
