I use ublock origin on all my computers and purify on my iphone. That seems to get rid of almost all ads. If I see a youtube ad on my phone, I just refresh purify and they're blocked again. I also just browse youtube with safari - I don't use the native app.

UP THE BUM NO BABY posted:I'm all of the people mad that smokers are eligible now. Oh no people in an at-risk population are being provided access to care! At least for the VA here in Tallahassee, they consider me a "smoker" because of medical marijuana so I'm good to go. Friends that I know that work at FSU are driving to Alabama for their vaccine because while Florida won't allow them to get it yet, Alabama offers it to all educators and staff and does not have a residency requirement.

Torrannor posted:They have three reconciliation bills a year iirc, all other bills can (and will!) be filibustered by the Republicans. And quite a lot of things can't be done with reconciliation, so even though they nominally have complete control of the legislature, there are hard limits on what they can actually do. Note: these “hard limits” can be waived with a simple majority vote. The democratic party is in complete control, and anything they do not do is just because they do not want to do it.

Soylent Pudding posted:Exchange looks like it's going to be way, way worse than Solarwinds or Accellion. The thing about SW is that while they inserted a backdoor into the supply chain and compromised.tens of thousands, they did so "safely". Unless you were in the much smaller target set, the backdoor shut itself down after checking in. There was also no way for your average cybercrime group to replicate the attack since it was a complex supply chain operation and not a clever 0-day. There was also no way for for a third party to break in through the solarwinds backdoor. Note that this is not an issue if your org uses office 365 and does not have their own exchange server.

The “insurance discount” is the actual cost of your care. Hospital bills have a built in 3-5x multiplier on costs to gently caress people over.

iwentdoodie posted:Yeah, I never had insurance (well, past age 10 anyway when my dad died) until the navy and these last 4yrs is my first time dealing with regular insurance so this is all just mind boggling to me. Have you ever heard of the term "balance billing?" This is where hospitals in some states will take the insurance payment for the actual costs of your visit off of the bullshit price, and then send you a bill for the remainder. Almost 2/3 of all personal bankruptcies in the USA are in large part because of our glorious free market healthcare system.

I have the memory of my Oma's German accent getting SUUUUUPER thick talking to ~5 year old me in her kitchen about " That loving HEETLER" (the only memory I have of her actually sweating) and then you got a third of the country going "well he wasnt that bad and really had some good points!" That third of the country was onboard with him in the 30s and 40s, too. The America First bloc has openly supported Nazis since the OGs.

Yeah and somehow instantaneous communication from mosque to mosque using the call to prayer or something like that. They had motorcycle couriers moving at near the speed of light. There’s a reason they reset. The “rigging” may have been excessive, but opfor was breaking the basic laws of reality.

US Berder Patrol posted:Yeah I just saw the news naming him a few minutes ago and thought the same thing. The right wing rage machine is gonna love this facet of intersection in the gun-terror-immigrant thing, especially in the context of the city assault weapons ban being pre-empted (whatever that means). Boulder, CO passed an assault rifle sales ban in 2018. Said ban was overturned 10 days ago. The shooter bought his gun 6 days ago. He would have had to travel outside of Boulder to purchase it two weeks ago.

The Suez Canal has been blocked for hours by the container ship Ever Given: https://www.vesselfinder.com/?imo=9811000 https://twitter.com/jonmikefred/status/1374447408990449664 https://twitter.com/jsrailton/status/1374438210315513864

The issue right now is that the front 1/4 of the ship is aground with the bow literally impaled further into the dirt. They literally cannot dig out from under the whole thing to drag it out. That's why they're having the salvage people come in. They have to essentially lift the front of the ship out of the dirt and get it floating. They may have to unload part or all of it to do so.

That Works posted:Surprised they aren't unloading the ship as fast as they can. Would heavy lift helicopters be able to move those shipping containers off of it or is that just way too heavy for that kinda deal? We're going to see how quickly they can unload as soon as the salvage people get a chance to look at it. If they're able to float it without unloading, they will. If not, they're gonna have to bring a shitload of equipment on site to unload. It will probably involve some sort of crane on a barge next to it because nothing is going to be able to reach easily from shore.

Reminder that at the back of the ship, the waterline is at the edge of the water. They've got some of the dirt around the bow cleared out, but the ship is still very much aground.

lightpole posted:Could build a pier to it and try to crane them off but that thing is almost certainly too tall for most mobile cranes. A mobile crane would also not be able to reach across the vessel. Even one on each side would not work unless its a large construction crane but I don't know their limits on travel. A container crane load limit is like 40-65 tons on the spreader. They hired a salvage team already. The people and equipment physically getting there will take time.

There was also a sandstorm and heavy winds which, once the ship lost power, blew it sideways and physics handled the rest.

Spoggerific posted:I've heard comments elsewhere mention that the pilots in the Suez Canal are pretty corrupt and you can find yourself mysteriously losing places in queue if you don't bribe them with cartons of cigarettes or whatever. I don't suppose anyone here could tell their experiences of transiting the canal? Warships absolutely use local pilots.
