You assume they haven’t already been planning for months, or years.
I was just talking to a friend yesterday who mentioned that the conditions for China to invade Taiwan will be optimal in three weeks based on the ocean conditions and ship movements.
I said even if Trump wants to be the “president of peace” and avoid interfering, the generals wouldn’t allow the inaction. I think my exact words were, “he would have to fire them all in the next two weeks.”
Day 2: It seems to have shifted overnight. We are adding a continuous power source to prevent failure during unsupervised hours.
Day 11: More items have gone missing from the lab.
That’s… Very specific.
I never thought I’d be more fearful than grateful for Mitch McConnell’s exit from politics.
Wings in invertebrates developed differently from those in vertebrates. Yes, vertebrates’ wings developed from their forelimbs (birds, bats, etc.), but invertebrates’ wings are a separate system entirely. Hence ants have 6 legs, whether they have wings or not.
Could work!
Our military is about to get hacked, isn’t it?
Not to stereotype, but aren’t there a lot of trans people running this country’s infosec?
OK, now do guns

Like lemmy.ml?
LLMs replacing good tools with ones that don’t work as well.
Amazing photo! Looks like a fairy tale.
Sounds like depression. If you have some savings, it might be worth it to see a therapist to find out.
Some of the news and politics communities added an automatic comment to new posts that linked to fact checking information, and a big portion of the community lost their minds about it. A lot of people found it biased, obtrusive, or unnecessary, and it generated a lot of conflict between the people who liked it or felt neutral. It went through many iterations based on the feedback before being removed entirely.
The entire saga was fairly disruptive and everyone is glad it’s over.
You might be interested in Magic Earth it is also built on OpenStreetMap but includes crowdsourced traffic data. If you are in a big city then it’s likely they have good data for your area.
I have a good friend who is a federal regulator who works remotely. The department has a few desks in Washington DC that the staff basically rotates through when they do important filings. They are shared by 50-100 people, which is fine because they don’t need them for more than a couple days a year.
The department actually needs the regulators out in the field. They closed most of the field offices to save money, since the work can be done from any computer. The only address is the DC office, which is also significantly downsized.
Just from a basic logistics perspective, this does not work.
Making it work would require making thousands of expensive new rentals over months just on the face of it.
