  • Very reminiscent of the Beirut port explosion of 2020

  • 2 things to note: They want to deport him to Syria or Algeria and not to El Salvador so hopefully he remains free at least.

    The judge making this assessment is part of the executive branch and not a federal judge and made it on very literal terms (spineless and ethically bankrupt but not the final decision). Secretary of state said hes is a threat to US foreign policy in writing therefore he can be deported as the law states that he can be deported if the secretary of state says he is a threat to US foreign policy.

  • Yeah, it is a fight but I think you're misunderstanding the sides involved. A small company with like 5-15 employees (just an example) also has mouths to feed. Larger multinational corporations can and have passed American tariffs costs along to buyers from other countries to "soften the blow" for American buyers and are usually better equipped to weather the storm by taking a hit to profits over the medium term than small businesses. At the end of the day, only business logic applies because the unfortunate reality is that no one cares if you can't afford food or housing in most countries so benevolence is not an option for most.

  • I don't love exploitative companies either (this one seems to be on the smaller side and exploring all avenues) but why would they willingly lose income that they probably rely on to live for some sort of greater good when they can just advertise in different markets especially when they've already done the legwork of setting up production in China. Even the most ideologically comitted business owners wouldn't willingly lose money unless they were doing it for PR (We're not just talking about losing out on profit at a 104% tariff rate)

  • If Americans didn't make their problems everyone else's we wouldn't care about or comment on your politics.

  • Why would they when they can just sell to literally every other country on earth instead

  • Claimed. Thank you

  • The reporting in French I saw said "voile integral" which is niqab/burqa and I checked the bill itself and it just said face covering (excluding medical purposes)

  • I don't think this law bans all hijab but just the niqab which is the one that also covers the face and is generally seen as fundamentalist in most Muslim countries. The bill itself says face and not head covering. Not to say that this entire bill isn't driven by some level of xenophobia (Christian symbols and holidays are seen as heritage/culture while non-Christian ones are seen purely as religious etc)

  • 18-24 usually gets grouped together for census and survey stuff so you got a good year left in the tank before you're part of the 25-44 crowd

  • Some RNG manips are straight up harder than just hunting them in SV tbh. Anyone can get/buy a Pokemon Home account with 1000 genned shinies if they wanted to so it's up to you to determine what you consider "legit". I enjoy hitting timing required to get shinies through RNG manips so I do it. Some people think gen 9 shinies are too "cheap" and others don't use shiny charms and only hunt full odds (but still hunt on multiple systems at once for whatever reason). It's a weird rabbithole to go down so just do what you want. No one is going to grade your shinies.

  • Biden sent $8 billion in weapons immediately before he left office and Trump reversed the pause on 2,000lb bombs and sent $1 billion immediately after taking office

    You clearly don't care about whether or not 2,000lb bombs were available and in use. You just care about whether a performative gesture was made.

  • And they clearly never ran out of 2,000lb bombs to use. They just happened to need some more now.

  • Yup, he just sent them at least 14,000 of them before doing that. More than all other bombs combined according to leaks. 2000 pounds bombs were in use in September in Lebanon.

  • A lot of Dearborn's Arab population is Palestinian and Lebanese and had/have family at risk of being killed. You know when those 2,000 pound bombs get shipped to Israel they actually get dropped on people and kill them, right?

  • Motherfucker, literally 65% voted for women.

    How to fast travel to Crawmerax, Armory and Ajax in Borderlands 1 on PC

    NOTE: Please backup your saves before attempting any of this as it involves modding your game files and that always poses a risk of data loss if things go wrong. Also, there may be some differences between original and remaster that I'll mention.

    So the Knoxx DLC is notorious for being a driving simulator and BL1 DLC not having any fast travel stations except for the starting areas makes farming very tedious. Fortunately, there are ways around that on PC:

    The "simple" way for Crawmerax and the Crimson Lance Armory

    • Download the Essentials Mod by LegX

    Remaster/Enhanced version: https://www.nexusmods.com/borderlandsgotyenhanced/mods/7

    Original version: https://www.nexusmods.com/borderlands/mods/34

    • Extract the WillowGame folder into your installation directory with the same existing folder: eg. a default Steam install should be in \Steam\steamapps\common\BorderlandsGOTYEnhanced\WillowGame\
    • Go to save data location eg. `\Documents\My games\Borderlands Game of the Yea

    "Value" midrange GPU options

    I've been looking at the current state of the GPU market since my RX 580 4GB is gonna be faced with 1440p soon and, while prices are still pretty bad, there's a few value options.

    This was to suit my own preference but I thought it might be useful for others with similar needs. No preference towards Nvidia and I only care about rasterization so not looking at extra functionality/features making the shortlist basically just the AMD 6000 series midrange.

    The standouts being the RX 6650 being the best overall value at ~$290 if you're fine with 8GB of VRAM and 6750 XT (or 6700 XT) for 12GB at ~$420 (these needing a good sale to reach that price).

    The relative performance is from benchmarks at 1440p Ultra settings where 4090 performance is the baseline of 100% which should be representative of the average usecase for these (1440p and mostly not CPU bound).

    There's nothing that offers 12GB under $380 (3060
