You really don't understand what you're talking about. Maybe you should actually read the link, do some research and apply some thought before you get offended for the poor corporation.

If you pulled your head from your fourth point of contact, you'd understand what a buyback is. Then you might do further research and notice that over the last four years, McDonald's, on average, spends 3b/year on buybacks rather than spend the money on paying a decent wage for their employees.

Or, you can keep making shit up to fit your bullshit world view of "corporations great, every who works is just greedy".

Pretty sure I already know the way you'll go. I've given you a start for things to look at, it's the best I can do for the youth of today.

Ummm, no. Stock buyback has nothing to do with dissolving the company, but increasing shareholder value.

So far in 2023, McDondald's has spent just a bit over 2B on stock buybacks to "increase their shareholder's value". According to the wiki, they have 200,000 employees.

That's a $10,000 bonus/employee assuming equal distribution.

And if they took the money they use in stock buybacks and used that for salary, what would it be?

If you remember to do it after getting pissed off enough at it, sure 😀

No, it's not.

What you're talking about is UAC flipping out because you double clicked on something and it want's admin privilege (the GUI equivalent of what bioemerl talked about).

I'm talking about exactly what bioemerl was: You open cmd window, try to run a command and it bitches that you need admin rights, as an admin. So, you have to go back, search for cmd, then select the option: Run as administrator.

Probably the fact that, even if you define the account as Admin in windows, you still need to select "Windows sudo" (run as Administrator) before it actually elevates privilege.

I wonder if the pilots are getting SEAD training with an eye towards future support packages including HARM. The platform is the wildest of weasels.

So, Monday when the pictures show a completely obliterated shipyard?

I don't know, that hand on the shoulder looks AI jacked up.

¿Por qué no los tres?

Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) — had accused Tlaib of “leading an insurrection”

I know Margie is as dumb as the day is long, but did she really forget what leading an insurrection actually looks like already?

You forgot to also add that regular people cannot do all that because they also need to be a FFL

No, I didn't, because, no they don't.

If they're manufacturing automatic weapons or wish to purchase an automatic weapons manufactured after 1986 to law enforcement, THEN you need a class 3 FFL license. If they're manufacturing, then they also need to file a form 1.

Private individuals can purchase a machine gun without an FFL, assuming your state law allows it via form 4. An FFL makes the process easier, but it's not a requirement

They weren't banned.

They required a $200 tax stamp at the time.

Now, they require a federal form (NFA Form 4), the $200 tax stamp and a metric ass ton of money since the public cannot purchase a full auto weapon manufactured after 1986 (Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986).

edit: Changed the tax amount, actually looked it up.

What he said. When the Patriot system started killing Khinzels, it was hit by debris. Russian trolls on the internet immediately claimed a "dead Patriot" for what turned out to be like an hours work when they realized the system was behaving oddly...

That being said, if they really did kill an S400, I guess that means it wasn't an S400 that allegedly shot down a HIMARS rocket the other day.

Don't think that value includes "items in the ship" (like aircraft) as part of the weight. This article seems to lay out what some of the differences are. Seems to boil down to "not evey Navy counts every canoe that they own".

I suppose a few trillion dollars per year will do that though

Yep, American Un-Healthcare at its finest 😁

Depends on how you count "size". US Navy is 4th in ship count, 1st in tonnage at 3.5m tons.

Russia is second at 800,000 tons

China is third at 700,000 tons

Japan is fourth at 400,000 tons

Please show me where any country is "shitting themselves over Russia" after the master stroke in self destruction Russia has displayed in Ukraine?

How did they justify this statement? A press release from Putin.

Effectively, yes.

The consortium just linked to the original story from Indian Punchline (the author's personal blog) where the author quoted the statement from a TASS article.

It's not hard hitting, factual news. It's an OpEd piece from a blogger.

If we wrapped Robert Parry's corpse with copper wire and surrounded his casket with magnets, we could probably power a small city with the electricity from him turning over in his grave at how far Consortium News has fallen in publishing articles like this.

If you set up hardware encryption, be sure to change the master password and set the security level to maximum.

Be aware, this password is different than the Physical Secure ID (PSID) printed on the front of the disk. PSIDs are used when the release to reset command doesn't work, typically due to key issues, and the drive gets "locked".

You use the PSID to run a revert to factory defaults command, unlocking the drive. Since this triggers the drive to release its' key, the drive is considered "cryptographically erased" when you do this.

If you revert the drive, data on it is unrecoverable.

If you're going to revert a drive, I suggest using a QR Code reader to get the PSID off the drive. Some venders are sadists with the font they choose making it so much fun to figure out if it's a 1, l i I I O or 0...
