Looks like it is state and local officials, at least in Tennessee. -

I suspect that any roadblocks are being placed by state agencies, as the same person posted earlier about TN emergency management asking people not to come to the area to try to help and not to send supplies or funds yet. -

I was a federal employee for 20 years. Except for a few law enforcement agencies and courts, they don't have the authority to put up roadblocks or keep people out of non-federal property. That's purely state and local governments' authority. -

Person starts posting links to Russia Today. Up until now, they seemed reasonably intelligent. Now I'm not sure. -

https://gnusocial.jp/url/3257439 [www entrepreneur com] The two biggest issues with the ordering kiosks is that (1) they can't give good customer service and (2) they are based on misapplying automation.
Let me explain:
When I worked in NYC for a year, the local lunch eatery learned to anticipate my order. Sometimes, my food was ready by the time I got through the ordering line. The robots won't do this. Also, despite company demands to suggestive sell / upsell additional items with every order, actual employees learn that I want a specific order, made a specific way, and they eventually tone down the "hey, would you like to try some more of our yummy items?," which is better customer service.
Secondly, the place where they should be automating is the kitchen. It is the cooks (and the manager) who struggle with making my burger without pickles ... who'll often realize they added pickles, so they take them off, leaving the whole sandwich contaminated with the foul flavor of the unwanted ingredient. A robot wouldn't add unnecessary pickles.
During a rush, the human cooks slow down after a while, as they get tired. Robots don't get tired, so they can keep their throughput high. -

@omgubuntu It's worth a momentary smile. But Mozilla has some serious internal issues that are being ignored while they reshuffle some pixels and call it another rebrand.
If anything, this is a symptom of what's wrong with Moz. Constantly launching and folding new projects, while upper managers plunder the org's purse and allow its signature browser and e-mail client projects to fall farther behind their primary competitors (and in the case of the browser, their major funder, so many of their problems were foreseeable). -

There's a look of relief on the grandkids' faces after I told them we have no mushrooms for their peanut butter and mushroom sandwiches, so they have to eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches instead. -

> The average user can't differentiate between storage on his laptop and storage on a server.
That's partially because companies who host online storage don't want people to know the difference. Let's not discount the impact of learned helplessness and malicious entities who encourage that for their own benefit. -

Wow. If I want to 'retire comfortably', I have to have almost double my average annual pre-tax income even in the least expensive state for each year I expect to live.
It really sounds like there's a whole different level of 'comfortable' than I know. -

I think police officers should be held to a stricter standard in the first place. She's possibly been in prison 12-15 years, after getting away with it for 23 years. At least make her spend 25 years behind bars (e.g., until 2035-2037 ... by that time, she'll be 75 or older) -

I've just always questioned Protonmail's encryption based on JavaScript sent from their server. It's the easiest thing in the world to identify someone they wish / are being forced to intercept and send different JS that implements a MITM. -

@sun I don't know how one would document this. I've seen a few BBC interview videos where the interviewee made this claim (I suppose it must be based on reports from POWs), but yeah.
This includes reports of a group of "Chechnyan volunteers" behind the borderline in Kursk, who quickly retreated, leaving untrained and unmotivated conscripts to face experienced Ukrainian soldiers once it was clear that the conscripts would quickly be swept aside, leaving them to fight.
Maybe drone video? -

@sun I've always felt that timestamps should be explicit. "2015-08-15 14:32" is better than "9 years ago". "${current_date} 12:26" is better than "4 hours ago".
If necessary, sites can use JS to translate from UTC into the user's local timezone. -

One contact, a political junkie, is saying that Vance is dominating Walz, using the Biden / Harris administration's history against him. I don't have any way to know how true that is, since this person is rather right-wing anyway in my view.
I couldn't watch something like this even if it took place in next door neighbor's yard. Something about listening to politicians tell you things that they think will cause you to support them, without any connection to what they truly think ... I just can't do it. -

I keep seeing weird messages when I post, such as "Domain not in remote thumbnail source whitelist: cdn.prod.www.spiegel.de"
They don't seem to ever have anything to do with what I post, so maybe they're residuals from recent posts by other users. -

In the R-Lang practice exercises, they have this:
some_time <- as.POSIXct("2016-0801 15:00:00")
unclass(some_time)
They then ask about the type of object it returns. It turns out that it returns a Unix-style timestamp. I don't recall any in-course content that covered that or in-course exercises that led toward exploring that.
It's okay. I'm running RStudio on another laptop, so I just entered the code and looked at the result (1470063600, with a "tzone" attribute). -

The US Army presented me with a flag in honor of my parents' service. I'm going to order a case for it and display it in my room, so that my grandkids will have another reason to ask me for stories about their great grandmother.
My son placed their telescope in my room, so we also have that.
Mom used to take Son_2 and one of my nieces out in the back yard regularly for star nights, often with her telescope. About 2.5 years ago, I ordered a new telescope for her, so she could continue her explorations.
However, by that point, she had already started experiencing symptoms of the cancer that killed her, so she never did anything with it. I'm hoping to obtain her telescope and use it together with this one to increase their appreciation for the objects in the sky. -

@simsa03 To me, this is another reason NOT to support Trump, since a large part of his support base would have us abandon an ally, even in the face of Iran's efforts to spread their own form of tyranny across Asia, Africa, and eventually the world. Likewise, they wish to abandon Ukraine to Putin's scheme to revive Soviet tyranny and spread it across Europe and Asia, until the US alone is left to fight a planet-ruling group of dictators.
But I know history and facts don't seem to dissuade those who've made up their minds about politics. -

@andyc Prepare for many of your internal sites to stay in "coming soon!" status for years. On the other hand, with OneDrive, your IT folks can turn on auto-backup and then every file you work on is automatically saved to the cloud. No more laptop upgrades where you have to tell your IT person about all the files they missed.
(Note: MSEdge bookmarks aren't included, so that's one of the few things they'll still need to do manually.)
