That’s tremendously cool; I had no idea these existed. Thank you very much for speaking up!

I guess it’s a bot or sock puppet; the account is only 8 hours old and all they’ve posted are links about Jill Stein.

First off this is only relevant to Defense Intelligence; it doesn’t cover deploying the 82nd airborne to shoot trump voters.

3.3 starts with “subject to paragraph 3.1” which describes the already-existing laws they are required to follow, such as Posse Comitatus. 3.3 also says anything that might potentially be lethal requires SecDef approval.

All of this is further restricted by DOD policy 5210.56 which has what seem to me are extremely sensible rules regarding use of force during investigative / law enforcement duties. https://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/DD/issuances/dodd/521056p.PDF?ver=PIvIb3eht0obgolnD0UCEw%3D%3D

This document is replacing the previous policy from 1982 under president Reagan which is very similar but with less detail. https://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/DD/issuances/dodm/524001r.pdf

None of this looks unusual or inflammatory to me. Would you rather the DOD NOT have written policies limiting the use of force?

There must be a huge variety of Indian accents given the large geographical area and bonkers number of people, but we (in America at least) only think of one stereotypical accent. I presume it annoys people to be lumped in with whichever group actually has that accent! Like Austrians probably don’t love that the only Austrian voice anybody knows is Arnold Schwarzenegger, who comes from a very rural area and has that accent, apparently.

I’ll take 'em if I can choose where they grow! Lol

Fun video from Mark Rober about the topic. How to measure how much pee is in your pool

In imperial, it’s in one-inch increments, which is typical. Must have been written in inches and translated for the rest of the world.

Partial inches are only used by people insecure about their height. “I’m 5’7.25” “, naw bud, you’re 5’7”.

I agree with everything you wrote. Many countries have election holidays plus mandatory voting. That seems to work reasonably well, though you’d need to allow for people who can’t get off of work that day.

Yeah, it’s a thorny issue.

I’m always astonished when I see people add lighting to a figure/scene by piling on lighter and lighter colors. It’s mind-blowing to me how artists can figure out how to fake light with colors!

I’m barely competent at programming. What is the use case for Fortran, besides maintaining ancient code?

By thinking sexy thoughts, sure. Probably not everyone, as I’m sure some people are more physically aroused than mentally.

What does that mean to you?

I mean, I think that’s a reasonably common position on the left. Not particularly unusual.

Hell yeah brother! The cream of the crop rises to the top one again!

Really!? I find that a little hard to believe. It’s basically pamphlet sized. I have one.

What a coincidink, I just commented this on another thread.

Randi, no?

That looks awesome! Thank you for the link.
