Or even going to be aware of it. This is the current top of Fox News

I always thought the same thing until I had to unload a plane one time because they found some corrosion on a bomb. A dumb bomb that was going on it’s way to be dropped. Of course that was back in the Bush era when the US government was a little more picky about the war crimes they committed.

I mean chances of it happening are almost infinitesimal, but it is still something to consider. I was a munitions troop in the US military for 6 years and this was drilled into us. If there was anything on a bomb or missile it had to be sanded and repainted.

Fun fact: Writing on munitions can be considered a violation of the Geneva Convention. Under Article 23, it is forbidden to employ weapons with any substance intended to aggravate a wound. So unless that is a completely non-toxic marker, it could fall under that.

Some Christians believe the return of the Jewish people to their land is viewed by some as a sign of the end times, leading to the second coming of Jesus. And yes they want the rapture to happen. There is speculation that is why they so strongly want to defend anything Israel does.

Lindsay Ellis just did a great video on it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwpanShgOp4

No, now we have 3 hours of un-allocated time on this contract which has upset the client

I hate this so much. I got told to work slower once and argued back that they should be more confident and sell contracts based on deliverables, not time and materials.

Where did you go to school? I went to school in Texas and critical thinking was not taught. I routinely got in trouble just for asking questions.

IEP ensure that all children receive a free and appropriate public education in the least restricted way possible. Unless you want kids with special needs just shoved in a special education classroom until their 18, they are absolutely necessary.

As a parent of a child with special needs, all of this scares the crap out of me. The second the department of education is gone so will the enforcement of the IDEA act. And that is the only thing keeping states like the one I live in from providing these services. It is already hard enough to get schools to do what they are supposed to. I’ve had to threaten a lawsuit against ours, and it’s one of the better school districts.

The second they don’t have to provide for these kids they will shove them in the deepest darkest hole and leave them there until they age out.

Just like the constitution, states can add to, but not take away from federal department of education regulations. For example, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is a law that makes available a free appropriate public education to eligible children with disabilities throughout the nation and ensures special education and related services to those children. Changing laws if difficult and no one wants to go on record voting against special needs. So they can just get rid of the department that enforces laws and say they are leaving up to the states.

As someone who lives in a red state and has a child with special needs, the IDEA law is the only reason my child gets any support in school. If they get rid of the department of education then states like Texas can reduce their special education services even further, so they can build more multi-million dollar high school football stadiums.

So I have a conspiracy theory around that. Android used to put the volume slider at the top of the screen. At some point they moved it to the right side, and now blocks the skip button on YouTube. I won’t doubt this was done on purpose, so if you lower the volume for an ad, you will be forced to watch more of it.

Don’t forget the situations where you find a good blog post or article that you can actually follow along until halfway through you get an error that the documentation doesn’t address. So you do some research and find out that they updated the commands for one of the dependency apps, so you try to piece together the updated documents with the original post, until something else breaks and you just end up giving up out of frustration.

Reminds me of a guy I knew who kept getting letters for a $10 parking fine he got while at university. He waited until they spent more in postage than the fine before paying it.
