Stop the steal!

Not seeing what you linked.

....this isn't what people do all the time ? My neighbours are interesting folk, in a good way. They've flown a flag I never knew existed - the Grand Union Flag - on July 3rd, switching to the US we know on July 4. Lately they've been flying the Four Provinces of Ireland flag, I assume this is rugby related, but maybe they are secretly IRA

Welcome to North America. Blessed be the slave that learns to love the lash.

Well means you can take as much time off as you want, as long as you get it approved suitably in advance, and don't take too much as they'll hold that against you when you go over an amount your manager or someone above deems appropriate for workers to take off Recruiter telling me that was a selling point made me laugh.

New company I am moving to has "unlimited PTO", which is a neat way of them avoiding having to pay out vacation days when you leave. Will still try to take 3 weeks a year, heh.

TCP handshake involves 3 packet exchanges, SYN, SYN-ACK and ACK. I forget exactly what goes on there as I am trying to recall stuff I learned in 2005 Reminds me of a professor who said his lessons were UDP - he didn't care if you got it. Lovely University, really. Wikipedia to the rescue.

Pelosi's landed in Taiwan - https://www.nytimes.com/live/2022/08/02/world/pelosi-taiwan Unless the Chinese have a cloaking device though, no invasion anytime soon. Edit : Never mind about the jets, they're flying around in Taiwan's ADIZ, so that means nothing.

Going to need some citations on who you're talking about here. As for drones being okay because non-Americans are using it, I think your persecution complex on behalf of the West (inextricably tied to whiteness as you said on the Kodex) is acting up. And the usefulness of drones, or any weapon, is separate from how it's used. UAVs are very useful, we've seen it in the war in Ukraine, the Azeri-Armenian war, the, heh, "War on Terror". The US killed al-Zawahiri, they also murdered 10 people in Kabul last year with a drone strike (conveniently no one gets punished for that).

There was a question about them ? How many have they been used to kill in the last 20 years ?

Yep, not a big deal, although I am sure squad Mako was just Cortez by himself. Despite myself, the in mission dialogue did get a laugh out me - the drone bothering even the enemies with its prattling on. I can see why people like this DLC for the fanservice.

Damn lazy Euros!

ME3 Omega DLC was fun. I realize the Citadel DLC isn't going to be much of anything as I only came out of ME2 with 3 squadmates

As if unnamed US officials would say different, heh. Interesting one official stopped short of saying it definitely wasn't Ukraine, though.

Well, if the Serbs act up and NATO, sorry, KFOR steps in a bombs them into submission, they are an enemy of the West. You'll cheer that on. Also, the Ukrainian MP above called them Putin's trojan horse, after all, and their politicians' word is gospel Definitely not in anyone's interest to have shooting erupt there, just a distraction from Ukraine and not like they need another war for domestic distraction or something.

What's for you to worry about ? Serbia can't deal with NATO, enemies of the West will be cut down. This was an interesting breakdown (albeit on Twitter) as well

Serbs will be bombed some other time, it seems.

This was funny as well As I said, Serbia's just waiting until the EU donates all their weaponry to Ukraine....

Doesn't really seem to be anything serious. NATO still has troops there anyway.

Will have to keep an eye out if they produce more details on the supposed attack.

Some day I'll find out Bruce idolizes Ian Smith, and will be mightily surprised In other news - That is interesting.
