In Gentoo, you have to compile the kernel

This is not true any more. Gentoo provides sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-bin as an option.

And just what happens when the network goes down? Some kind of degraded operating mode? Does the car just slam the brakes regardless of what it’s doing?

For me 1.0 only means that I’ve delivered the software to a paying customer.

Eh, the fucking cellular modems in my car that stream the camera data for training can be used to track me. Hell, the anti theft tracker that I paid money for can be used to track me.

It’s still extremely unusual for district judges to title a section of their order “Final Notice”.

Normally, if they’re gonna invade shit, they stage the invasion forces, meaning tanks and grunts, at least in the theater.

All I’ve heard about is two carrier groups, which is a lot, but it’s not going to invade anything. I also heard that one of the carriers deployed with broken shitters, so that’s got to be going great.

Maybe not exactly the same, but Bodhi Linux is an Ubuntu derivative that develops the Moksha desktop environment based on the Enlightenment window manager.

And this is why ICE is shooting themselves a lot more than they used to.

This is the look of a man who has had a day. (He was released with no charge after questioning.)

Interesting because factions in Belfast use those exact colors.

Damn revenuers!

And severance pay and notice of layoffs are de facto fairly common in corporate America.

Just to be clear, the astronaut was cleared of wrongdoing, meaning there was no real space crime. The false report charge is an earth crime.

This was the very first time that a space crime was investigated.

For reference, Oklahoma has quite a history with alcohol prohibition. The state retained full prohibition until 1959, some 20 years after the 21st amendment and repeal of the Volstead Act.

Liquor by the drink, aka bars, were not legalized until 1984. Before then you had to pay a membership fee to join a “private club” where you could then have a bartender pour you shots out of “your” personal bottle that was kept behind the bar.

Oklahoma had 3.2 beer until 2018 when it was repealed by state referendum.

Hey,

The Air Force has experience with balloons now.

Update: It now seems possible that the “cartel drones” may have actually been party balloons.

Rumor I heard is that the military is planning to start testing some counter drone system, and in discussions with FAA, they couldn’t promise that civilian flights would be safe, so FAA pulled out the big gun.

It sounds like this counter drone system would only be for use on drones that cross the river into us airspace, but I’m not sure of that.

For reference, the US has operated an Air Defense Identification Zone for a long time, that covers Mexican airspace near the border. The air force tries to identify, track, and sometimes intercept all air traffic in the ADIZ. Civilian air traffic is supposed to be on a filed flight plan, in communication with ATC, and have an assigned four digit transponder code. Failure to do so may result in interception by scrambled aircraft.

I would imagine that “cartel drones” in or around Juarez would not be doing the above. But there may also be too many of them to economically intercept with F15s.

Not even. ed is The Standard Editor.

this department has sent our best and brightest officers to Harvard, hoping the university would better understand and appreciate our warrior class,

That’s, uh, not why DoD occasionally sends officers to Harvard and other elite universities. DoD does this because they want some of their officers to have high quality advanced degrees.
