The US military budget is designed to independently fight and win another two-theater war in Europe and Asia. Has been since WWII. I think it would be justifiable to shrink the Europe portion of that; Russia’s military capabilities are awful by this point, and Ukraine has done an excellent job demonstrating you don’t need the kind of budget the US would expect to at least hold on that front.

Your train small.

Considering tanks are transported by train, not surprising. Train big.

Depends. If you’re looking to work somewhere that has a public image, social media is likely to be a factor. Anything involving safety or serious liability will need drug screenings. Outside of that, it depends on how much the company is willing to pay for screenings. They have to pay for them for candidates, and they’re not cheap. I’ve done work in background check software and can tell you costs range from the low hundreds to sometimes over a thousand bucks per candidate, particularly if a candidate has gone by a lot of names and lived in a lot of places. You end up with a big combinatorial of identities to do criminal records requests for from different jurisdictions across the country. Some jurisdictions require a phone call to request records, and I can think of at least one where someone has to literally go pick up documents from a courthouse in person. On top of that, some drug panels are quite expensive. Social media review usually takes a lot of a real person’s time to go through; hard to automate if you want to be thorough beyond just pointing at a Facebook profile to scrape and feed through an LLM, and some kinds of posts are relevant to some employers vs others.

If you’re concerned, 7 years is the industry norm for how far back they consider your past unless it’s for like a professional certification or degree.

Idk, seems he’s salty about losing so much money because he acted creepy and unprofessional towards women. Could go either way, curious how this plays out.

To anyone who didn’t read past the headline: he said he needed more sleep. He was testing it obsessively.

I dated a girl who tossed underwear, socks, athletic pants, “house shirts”, etc haphazardly into drawers. Reasoning was, doesnt matter if they wrinkle. She only hung up her shirts and whatnot. No folding.

Total game changer. Laundry is now the easiest chore I do.

Cremate everyone, stop wasting land that could be used for another mcdonalds on corpses.

Problem solved

Yeah but it’s easy when both parents already had the same last name 🪕

At least with UDP we can avoid further doubling the stream transmission bandwidth cost, since it won’t expect acks and possible retransmissions. Great explanation!

It helps mask frame drops when turning or moving fast if the game is particularly demanding.

Had em in a poverty state 20 years ago 🤷

750 a year? Wtf is this retard smoking. Cost for land, hay storage, water, vet, and farrier. Human time cost to feed them twice a day, get rid of or spread the shit. Blanket, saddle, bridle. You’re looking at a few thousand a year minus the time sink.

When reading 40k is the less grimdark option

People talk about filter bubbles, but there’s a nuance here: on Lemmy, you’re not being served up whatever the platform owners think you should see from an opaque algorithm. You’re going to, by default, see cesspool content. You have to choose to block it.

I would agree if my area got much snow, but it’s exclusively icy cold rain.

Yeah my first gaming pc was like…a crappy HP desktop with an Nvidia 6600 that I plugged in. Worked great for Age of Mythology lol

Oh yeah, I read about that! Not really ML, but pretty much what I’d like more games to have.

No no no, they have it all wrong. We should be ordering clones by the thousand from Kamino to fight the separarists.
