Ordinarily, I might agree. However, this suspension is because musk refused to appoint a legal representative for the company in Brazil, IAW Brazilian law. That's a reasonable ask for a company that's actively doing business in the country. If a billionaire* crybaby refuses to follow the law, then he gets to deal with the consequences. FA meet FO.

There are some commercial rolls I've seen in the US that seem to be a happy medium...the holder itself in the stall has a thin plastic rod for the TP to go on, and the rolls have a very small opening in the center (and no cardboard) to go on that rod.

True, however I have to assume that fuel tanks tend to be lower on the locomotives (and therefore nearer the tracks), so as long as the explosive is high enough energy to set off the fuel, it'll do a lot of the work for you. As will momentum, because all the explosive has to do is damage the tracks and jostle the engine, and the length of cars behind will keep on moving, go of the rails, and slam into the fireball.

Or detonate the payload beneath a train to destroy both the train AND the track

DOW II is perfect for co-op with a friend. You have much less to keep track of, and it's a good time playing through it!

All Ukraine has to do is nothing. The Kuznetsov has about a 75% chance of sinking every time it puts to sea

DoD work (both civilian and active duty) tends to bind people together a lot more than other industries, in no small part due to the factors you mentioned, but also because a) the additional barriers of national security/clearance work make it only really possible to vent about work to coworkers/friends from work, b) the work can often be unique enough that only coworkers have shared experiences to bond over and empathize with, and c) the civilian side of the DoD tends to attract career folks a lot more than it does transitory people. I think a disproportionate amount (when compared to private industry) of civilians who hire into the DoD stay in federal service for their whole careers. And people sticking around their whole careers tend to invest more in personal and professional relationships in the workplace, because networking is how you get opportunities, and you never know who you might owe a favor some day (or who might owe you one).

Curious which American election observers are neutral parties then, if you refuse to believe that the Carter Center is unbiased. Because I'll bet you I can use similar mental gymnastics to tie every single American election observer to one side or the other (or even both, just for fun).

DLC in this context is pretty widely understood to mean in game content. So additional areas, cosmetics, missions, etc. not the soundtrack. Steam just categorizes the soundtracks as DLC for games in general.

I have not had first hand experience, but I would recommend you find out if the degree program you're interested in from them is accredited or not. The school I went to for undergrad has ABET accreditation for the Mechanical Engineering program (and the applicable accreditations for all other degrees). A lot of employers do require your program be accredited, and whether or not TECH has the applicable accreditations will tell you a) whether it would be a good move for you career-wise and b) whether you can expect the appropriate amount of rigor from the program (i.e. The program may be a degree-mill rather than an actual learning opportunity).

I think the meaning is that the Lemmy.ml fascists aren't actually communist.

Yeah they did. My reading of the policy is that YouTube does not allow content that shows off legally dubious (or outright banned in any state) accessories, and does not allow firearms in live streams (because shit can and often does go wrong, and live censoring isn't really a thing). Teaching firearm safety is still very much allowed.
