But the goal is to reduce consumption, and it will work.
Yes, but the black market has serious sides effects. You have to compare the disadvantages of allowing people who want to smoke to smoke, damaging their own health vs the black market funding cartels, mafias, and/or other criminals, causing problems for everyone.
Putting aside that you are comparing the secret service from 45+ years ago vs today. A lot of the time when they do their job, you will never know. How many times did someone with a gun see agents guarding the approach they wanted to use and turned around, no one ever knowing? If there was an officer guarding the roof as there should have been, chances are we never hear of this incident.
Ah, so this was a planned operation with Trump in on it, but entirely relied on the secret service being incredibly incompetent and getting incredibly lucky. Because the guy who managed to get elected president twice despite being in the Epstein files and in the middle of multiple prosecutions is so incompetent he let some random psycho shoot around him with no plan…
Does this include Biden? Since he controled the secret service that let this happen? No way this could be a conspiracy without him being in on it. Even if the secret service went behind his back, no way he wouldn’t be able to investigate such a fuckup and expose the conspiracy.
Because without 270 votes, this could result in states that sign having even less impact, resulting in them not signing. As an example, imagine it goes into effect immediately. Now as a candidate, you have two options.
Option 1: Campaign and make promises in a state that signed and the only thing you get is more overall voters to win the popular vote and therefore the electors of states that signed. But winning the popular vote is not enough. You still need electors from other states.
Option 2: Campaign and make promises in states that did not sign. Convincing voters here not only gives you votes for the popular vote, but also for the states electors. So you gain votes both towards the electors of states that signed and this state that didn’t.
Now where would you campaign and make promises?
Who said national law doesn’t exist? You break national law, decent chance you end up in prison. That’s real enough, even if not perfect. But what happens when you break international law? 99% of the time, nothing. And in the rare cases something does happen, it’s usually not really because of the law. It’s because countries have incentives independent of the law that make them enforce it. Often, the enforcement being illegal as well. That’s not really law, that is a bunch of outlaws shouting at each other with pipes in their hands, threatning each other.
Pretending for a second that international law really exists, it is defined by international treaties. In this case, it would be UNCLOS.
Well, that is against UNCLOS, but while Iran signed it, they did not ratify it. So, kinda not really.
Except that they are completely legal, you are correct.
No. As I said, apps don’t work. I cobbled together an API key service that let’s you have an API key (password) in the server URL in Rust for myself. This works with Apps, but it is a bit too messy and single purpose for me to open source it right now. Maybe one day.
Honestly, I may have to write one at some point. I just used the documentation of those two tools to set it up.
So use a reverse proxy with authentiacation before access to Jellyfin is allowed. I use Caddy forward_auth with Authelia for this. Unless you also want to use the apps without VPN, this works great.
Well, Arab countries are paying for it, just not to the US government. They pay to Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, etc. Have you seen the new missile and equipment orders?
Also, for low volumes, you may ripple multiple interceptors against single target. So if 1 interceptor has 90% chance of interception, 2 have 99%. But if you are worried about stockpiles, you may start firing just one to save your stockpiles. This is likely what we are seeing. This article is just a pile of horshit IMO.
Basically incompetence. Iran (and Houtis) have been hitting ships they clearly were not supposed to hit. It is not necessarily easy to figure out which ship is which. So even ships that are allowed by Iran are scared of crossing rn. Also, mines don’t discriminate.
UPDATE: Iran started doing this. After a ship pays the toll, Iran is forcing ships to first sail close to the shore into Iranian territorial waters to identify them more easily, mitigating the issue mentioned by me. Even so, wery few ships so far are willing to trust the Iranians and pay the toll.
This plane does not carry nukes.
What’s your point? Even if you were right that both sides were evil, should it somehow make me sad they are killing each other?
Assuming you mean publicly, no argument with that.
