Sean Duffy strongly asserted that the tower was fully staffed at the time of the crash. So, we already knew that it definitely short-staffed.

Welp, you fuckin’ own that shit, assholes, unless you plan to do something about it. This is who you are.

Give the HRT time to work. Nothing changes all at once…

This could be trivially defeated by a program which erases the hard drive unless run using a particular executable name. Then, all twenty entries could simply be hard links to the same executable file on disk, but one of the names would trigger different behavior.

Having watched Israel consider lying and misinformation a matter of existential necessity for decades, and the U.S. regime lie about everything all the time, I have to disagree. Not that I think Iran is trustworthy, but I know for a fact that whatever the other two say is definitely a lie.

Democracy is a word describing where soveriegnty rests within the system: With a king (monarchy), with a religious leader (theocracy), or with the people (democracy). The United States traditionally was a republic, a form of democracy in which representatives operate the government on behalf of the people. Of course, now it’s well on the way to autocracy (rule by an individual).

It benefits the average Christian American because they’ll get taken into heaven. See, the Jews all have to gather in Israel to kick off the war that leads to the Second Coming and the Rapture.

I wish this were a joke. That’s really what they believe.

I found online a Navy manual from the '70s which prescribed laundry operations in excruciating detail, running over a hundred pages. It required cleaning the dryer lint traps every 2 hours, and monthly cleaning of the ducts. The Navy even has ratings specifically for laundry workers, Ship’s Serviceman (Laundry).

It just blows mind that this isn’t a solved problem, since it was solved 50 years ago!

improperly maintained systems

On a US Navy warship? The US military which has procedures and protocols for everything just… compromised mission-readiness by overlooking a simple, well-known, but critical maintenance item? I mean, this could possibly be something that the yard staff was tasked with when the ship comes in after a standard six-month deployment, but if they’re overlooking stuff like that, it makes one wonder about the overall preparedness of the Navy.
