The two words by themselves are not very good English, or any slang idiom I know about.

I agree this sounds threatening, however.

Violates CERT C ENV33-C.

It’s not just lawmakers. There’s a bunch of lawsuits trying to use the federal courts to figure out:

• What is DOGE in the federal government?
• What is the nature of the “DOGE Temporary Organisation?”
• Who is in charge of DOGE? (Definitely not Musk, officially…)
• Why can DOGE make all these consequential personnel decisions up and down the federal government?

These are all things that have been shrouded in secrecy, obfuscation, and contradiction. Because the truth is that the real answers are not legally sound. The fact that these people are scared to say the real truth is a good sign, because it means they still have some fear of the courts and institutions. Those institutions still have some power to mess up the plan.

DC city government is fairly directly controlled by Congress. There’s not much of a firewall there. So I’m not really surprised.

not fit to have a job.

I thought they were mainly firing everyone new enough to still be on the standard probationary period.

Even if you never plan to return, you are still (legally) on the hook to file a 1040-NR form with the IRS every year.

There’s a foreign earned income tax credit: this reduces your US tax bill by any income tax you paid to your residence country. For many expat working stiffs, this means they don’t have to pay anything to Uncle Sam, but they still have to file a tax return.

So, the “Hurricane Hunters” are primarily associated with the Air Force Reserve 53rd weather reconnaissance squadron. This gentleman is not one of those. It’s a moderately misleading headline.

Windows was never oriented around “just works”. That was Mac. Windows’s main selling point is that it never becomes incompatible, and that has largely stayed true. You can still to this day insert the disk for some proprietary application from Windows 2.0 and it will still install and run. Try that with another operating system!

For an interview with a Fox News journalist that aired on Fox News?

Comparing national militaries is a complicated and tricky business. I would like to recommend Perun on YouTube. Usually pretty good defense economic analysis in digestible one-hour PowerPoint presentations. Some comparative material.

See if that fracture holds up on /r/Conservative once the media machine decides what the talking points are

Cue up Pulp Fiction conversation about foot massage.

That’s what I was thinking. What the heck were the terms of the deal that let Adams off the hook? Is Adams completely ignorant of the ways of the Cheeto?

There are also a bunch of contracting arrangements where the workers are W-2 employees of a private company that has a contract with the gov to provide bulk professional services from said employees.

Those workers have some room to negotiate salaries and benefits like any private sector worker. Although the terms of the big contract can put some limits on what the private company can offer.

A lot of national labs and NASA stuff works like this.

No. For several reasons.

Fortran is older than Basic and C. In fact, Fortran is more or less the first high level programming language. The first Fortran compilers date to the early 1950s.

Fortran was created mainly for the purpose of linear algebra: operations with (giant) matrices. Linear algebra is used to compute approximate solutions to ordinary and partial differential equations, and this is a major part of what people needed computers for (and still do).

Programming concepts like subroutines, functions, if statements with blocks and else clauses… All of those were not in original Fortran because no one had thought of them. These things entered Fortran over time as they became popular, and goto slowly became less popular. Syntax from the punch card era was replaced in Fortran 90, but it is still available as an option for compatibility purposes.

Structurally, I prefer to describe Fortran as like C, but with better built-in arrays, and no built-in general purpose pointers. Not having the pointers allows the compiler to do certain optimizations that C can’t. But C is the better systems language, because the pointers let you naturally express all kinds of data structures besides arrays.

However, it’s not at all clear to me that Mr. Mangione may have intended to intimidate or coerce the entire population is health care CEOs with his alleged actions. There’s a decent-looking alternative theory of this case that he may have been just pissed with the one guy.

These facts will have to explored at trial if the state wants to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt

The statutory penalty in the US is on the order of $100,000 per infringement. “Statutory” means that the number is written into the law, and the aggrieved party doesn’t have to establish or prove actual losses.

That account is probably not on a public Internet forum.

Port Said is the entrance to the Suez canal. Ships congregate there while waiting to transit.

I do like me some salami on toast.
