For what it's worth, the Army internally makes a big deal of it's birthday every year. This is it's 250th birthday and it happens to also be the same day as trump's birthday. We all know better, but this gives them some deniability by saying it's an Army birthday celebration and not a trump celebration.

Regardless, a military parade through the Capitol is a very uncomfortable idea.

Practical Engineering video explaining why this is an inherently difficult task, even for a country that has the money to better maintain their grid.

I have a tattoo that means "I don't know, I don't speak japanese." It works when an English speaker asks me what it means, and it also worked with the Japanese when I lived in Japan and didn't speak the language.

In case people aren't clear, these soldiers are the operators of the additional THAAD system they are deploying to Israel. These aren't infantry being sent to kick in doors alongside the IDF. THAAD is a ballistic missile defense system with no offensive capabilities. We already have a THAAD unit deployed to Israel.

Don't be mad because you expect to see headlines saying US Soldiers are killing civilians in Gaza. Be mad because this enhances Israel's ability to continue escalating conflict with Iran and hiding behind US cover when Iran strikes back.

Better to wait and buy merch that'll actually benefit the campaign instead of some dropshipper on amazon.

Can we get a bumper sticker with Donald Duck pushing Trump out of the way of the bullet?

Parents seriously need to be more aware of what kids are doing on their phones. Why the hell is a 12 year old on snapchat to begin with?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I doubt snapchat requires photo ID in order to make an account. Besides requiring ID, it's not clear to me how else snapchat would be able to know that she is a minor and that the perpetrator is a sex offender.

Not to minimize this, but could have been much worse. 100's of gallons instead of 1000's. Train remained upright. Sounds like they got lucky.

Do people really put that much thought into pet names? I've always thought it should be something that comes about organically, not something forced.

He and his mob associate thought they'd use a million dollars of jems to make a movie prop? Neither of them thought that maybe the insurance valuation was due to their history? Not the brightest pair of criminals I've ever heard of.

Why are we updating a four month article as if it just happened? I'm noticing this happens fairly often on Lemmy.
