  • Most veterans don’t do 20, especially now. Looks like only 17% do. The military is terrible and pays like dick. Even the lifetime pension cant compete with leaving at 4 and then socking away just the difference in pay for 16 years.

    Most of us do our initial term and leave. Lots and lots and lots of us, at about a 45% ratio based on the last polling i looked at, are liberals or leftists.

    Veterans are not a unified, conservative voting block. The majority vote for this garage, but an almost equal sized minority do not.



  • Look into podman quadlets. Its containers as systemd services, and its excellent. They run as root by default, but can be run at a user level pretty easily. Ive had no permissions issues as long as you define the user/group in the config and ensure they habe the correct rights to the required folders.

    It does take translation from docker compose files, but it’s entirely doable. Most of the environmental variables translate straight across.









  • Fucking finally. The church wringing it hands and playing at “compassion for everyone involved” including the child rapist, the fact that decades earlier after she tried to get her therapy bills covered the church threatened to counter sue her for “seducing” him and when confronted with that last year the lawyer claimed “I didn’t realize she was 12” even though it was explicitly in the initial letter her old lawyer sent, the fact he admitted to “indecency with a young lady” as a cornerstone story about his faith for 40 years, to the point where people knew it was one of his stock sermons, but never ever said she was 12 and he was in his 20s, or the absolute bullshit when he said in his defense that he had taken 2 years off from preaching and been redeemed, including getting her fathers blessing to resume. Her father did no such thing, and was unaware of the abuse at all.

    The absolute number of “well meaning” motherfuckers in this story trying to save their child rapist pastor was unreal, but it was bouying that some of the congregants started protesting at the main church when this news broke, and some staff quit. The church finally got it head slightly more on straight and and “accepted his resignation.” His son and step daughter were set to take over before the news broke, but were also asked to leave. Last i heard they hired a law firm to investigate themselves, but only for a couple specific years. I expect that was just ass covering, but its damn fine to see at least some actual legal action happen.


  • SpaceX isn’t an Uber model, its a goverment leech model. It’s had heavily, heavily goverment subsidies to the tune of 18 billion dollars over its 10yr lifetime.

    Terminal prices are likely just an economy of scale issue. Much cheaper per unit to make 100,000 than 1,000. Im sure as eutelsat grows the prices will come down.

    If Eutelsat and the EU rocket program get 18 billion in goverment investment like SpaceX, im betting they can also accelerate all of the above.

    SpaceX doesnt have a moat, it just has the lead. Rocket labs in new Zealand is already hot on their tails. No reason the EU cant join or surpass them.
