If drones are operated fiber optically, does an EMP even work?

RIP. Gone too soon

It was just a set up for a very played out internet joke. You win some, you lose some I guess. It's all good. No worries.

Will this play into the chrome spinoffs like brave? I know the opinions of brave are strong here, and I don't care. I can change settings to eliminate their bullshit. i have to admit that the add blocking in brave is pretty damn good and is a big reason I have stuck with them.

Pics? I may be interested, but I need to know if they are quality or not. Gotta make sure I'm not getting scammed.

As a farmer, dairyman, and rancher with way too many cattle in Texas. I have this to say:

I was on the front lines of the bird flu cross species fiasco. Literally ground zero. Me and my cohorts were the boots on the ground and knew what was going on weeks before the state and fed acknowledged it. The acknowledgement of the problem was purely political and self serving. The government as a whole (state and fed) were refusing to test and confirm what we already knew. I have evidence and correspondence with officials and veterinarians to back it up.

My take away: it's a god damn miracle we survived Covid as well as we did. That should have been so much worse.

When it comes to the screwfly situation: I had little faith under previous administrations this would be handled properly. In Texas, sid miller was talking about woke agendas and playing partisan hack instead of prioritizing resources. We've had almost two god damn years! They all figured the people they were firing and defunding would handle it properly. With what resources?. Systematically dismantling our safety nets caused this.

This problem is one hundred percent political incompetence. Any IT professional that has been laid off because " your department doesn't do anything" will tell you that a successful job done is literally twiddling your thumbs because you did it right. Y2k was a victory lap that the general public and politicians laugh at because it wasn't a problem. It wasn't a problem because we fixed it before the world ended. This screw fly trainwreck is what happens when you don't listen to IT and fire them all for being lazy.

Detection in mexico was non existent. The screw fly hits the states and what is left of our protection finds it. Great job. Too late.

Tldr, your hamburger and steak prices will continue to be more expensive, but not from this. But the suffering of both domestic animals and wildlife will be greatly increased because these dipshits wanted to play politics instead of giving a shit about the bigger picture.

I wanted to do the always sunny bit about Wade Boggs. You know the one. Where they say "he's very much alive. What are talking about?"

And then I checked up on it.

Good news/bad news. Wade Boggs is very much alive. But rob reiner is not. Fucking hell...

"Just need an astrology girl to tell me what planet is making me sad"

"It's earth"

It's always been earth.

I'm old enough to maybe have known about this. But I didn't. Had absolutely no clue. The other person's responses indicate they are advocating for people like me. Ignorance of a travesty doesn't mean we are endorsing those atrocities. But clearly you expect clairvoyant level view that only matches what you already know. That's not reality. That's an unacceptable worldview that brings absolutely zero progress to stopping stupid shit like that. Go ahead and block the other user. But block me too please. I have no time for people who refuse to see that there is nuance in the world. My feed would be better of not dealing with self righteous assholes like yourself.

So just a bunch of queens?

I thought it was a camera

I've got a friend working on this process right now. He openly admitted to me that the premise is fucked up and there are far more deserving populations that should be let in, but the simple fact is,he would be an absolute moron to pass up this opportunity for him and his family. It's a fast track to the place he wants to be and provides better futures for his children. Why wouldn't you take the free ticket?

Some of the people here on lemmy forget their humanity sometimes.
