Openly admitting the average Murcan has the intelligence and education of a child.

But yeah, you’re right. The people aren’t in control, and haven’t been for some time. One wouldn’t expect them to be well-educated.

Greenland should offer to sell it for one quadrillion dollars. Lend the US the money and catch them in a debt trap they can never escape.

Oh wait, I see I haven’t answered your question. The land has strategic value because it sits between Russia and North America. During the Cold War in particular, it was a good place to put early warning radar to detect nuclear launches. Now, for example, the waters around the island are patrolled for Russian submarines and stuff. And as the Arctic Ocean’s surface ice thaws, there are valuable trade routes there that different states want to control. And there might be some fancy minerals on the island itself.

@vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works is right. This isn’t about arctic security or deterrence at all. The US military already has unlimited access to the whole island and its airspace. The only reason Trump wants it to be a part of the US is because he is a manbaby and the grown-ups have all told him he can’t have it.

I would say this is not strictly news. It reads more like opinion, and is part of this new “This is Europe” newsletter. I don’t know why the Guardian put this article in their news section.

The murderer will definitely get away with it. There will be more ICE agents doing the same thing, emboldened by this incident and the lack of consequences. After the hundredth murder, people are definitely going to start shooting ICE agents on sight. The only way out now is for the administration to punish these agents, but like I said, this will definitely not happen.

After a while, it won’t even be about immigration any more. ICE will have become a symbol of Trump and his power.

How is this the most upvoted news? The US liberally just went to war with Venezuela.

Lest we forget the Michaels.

The joke’s on them. I’ve been gone from facebook for 10 years lol

I legit had no idea anybody actually used the upper system until now. I had to read the comments just to see whether the upper system was just some sort of joke. I am horrified.

Oh dear Lord.

So wait, are you disparaging humans, praising humans, disparaging birds, or praising birds?

I used to think it didn’t matter how electricity is used to generate heat, so I came to the same conclusion you did. Surprisingly, it does matter. Rather than a computer’s resistive heating, it is much more efficient to refrigerate the outdoors and point the refrigerator’s heat sink indoors. This is how a heat pump works. It’s basically awesome.

Laptops are better, because they have an integrated uninterruptible power supply, but worse because most can’t fit two hard drives internally. Less of a problem, now that most have USB3. Just run external RAID if you have to.

Arguably, a serious home server will need a UPS anyway to keep the modem and router online, but a UPS for just the NAS is still better than no UPS at all. Also, only a small UPS is needed for the modem and router. A full desktop UPS is much larger.

In all seriousness, though, I doubt there is a single person alive who would condemn Russian election interference and excuse US election interference.

Well, if what you want is a little more screeching, then SCREEEEEEAAAAACH!

Wikipedia doesn’t say anything about efforts to detect AI-generated content or to ensure only humans can edit. This is bad. I’m saving a copy of 2024 Wikipedia just in case.

Interestingly, Wikipedia actually is testing AI technology, but not for editing or for content creation or even for searching. It wants to use it to assist in vandalism detection. Not a bad idea TBH, but I could definitely see how this could go wrong lol.
