Because a majority of American troop deaths in Afghanistan and Iraq are caused by IEDs, it is critical that knowledge of MRAP vulnerabilities does not fall into enemy hands.

But it's already too late.

In September 2017, a Houthi-run TV channel broadcast images of Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, the de facto rebel leader, proudly sitting behind the wheel of a captured US-made MRAP in the capital Sanaa, as a crowd chanted "death to America" in the background.

Hours after announcing his run for president, U.S. Sen. Cory Booker stood outside his Newark home on Friday, celebrating the city that took a chance on him, and launched his political career.

“It’s right up the street that my career started in politics,” the New Jersey Democrat said to a crush of reporters crammed on his driveway. “It was a bunch of tenant leaders who pushed me into running for office. I always say I got my B.A. from Stanford but my Ph.D. from the streets of Newark.”

There's nothing unlikeable about Warren. Unlike Booker who is corny in the incredibly cringy way, she's corny in the old aunt who can't keep up with all these meimeis way. Also she's got the best track record of calling the finance world on their bullshit.

On the topic of missing out on games, has there even been a truly great groundbreaking game since HL2 or Portal?

Breath of the Wild because it's probably the first game with physics that make intuitive sense and doesn't care if you break the game in unintended ways. A lot of puzzles that involve rolling giant balls through mazes or moving platforms can just be brute forced with enough bombs or just using the first movable bridge you find as a catapult to launch it straight to the end.

There's a lot of insane stuff you can do with Stasis too.

Or just skipping the entire game (although this one uses a couple of unintended functions)

https://twitter.com/Zants/status/1029798157092376576?s=19

It's very cool cause it feels like a bit of Nintendo Labo was injected into the game. a lot of the creative things you can do with the game are more akin to picking up something with your hands and intuitively fiddling with it rather than playing A Game.

The main thing about Apex is that it's less aggressively solitary than other BRs. There's no solo queue, all the characters talk all the time in supportive ways, the contextual ping system is revolutionary to the point you can actually have a conversation with your teammates by just pointing at things and clicking on them and the majority of skills work better in a team. Also if you die people can grab your dog tag and run to a respawn point so that's more incentive to work together.

gently caress




I thought they opened you up laproscopically, and picked em out like some bladder stones or gall stones. I just looked at surgery videos. Holy gently caress.

The progression of treatment is, diet change (including increased hydration), medication to reduce the size of the stones if possible, medication to relax the tubes so you can pass it more easily, ultrasound applied to pelvic area to shatter the stones into pieces that can be passed in the urine, endoscope through the urethra to either shatter directly with ultrasound or physically remove the stone (like Deadwood but slightly more high tech) and the worst case scenario is direct surgical removal via incision if the stone is too big or in a bad spot and can't be passed easily.

Cutting people open is always the last resort for anything nowadays because your skin is excellent at repelling infection as long as it's intact and going under anesthesia comes with its own risks as well (reminder that your body still experiences pain while under anesthesia, your brain just doesn't feel it).

But because all congressional offices get the same budgets to use for staff pay and other expenses, there is only so much that individual lawmakers can do.

Ocasio-Cortez’s solution requires sacrifices for staffers at the top of the pay scale, potentially opening her to criticism from the right that her office policies, like her political identity as a Democratic socialist, call for a form of class warfare.
