That's what NPR and PBS were supposed to be, but they're so perpetually underfunded that they're almost commercial stations. edit: with corporate sponsors and viewer funding pledge drives.
Some public stations have been taken over by right wing orgs that came in with massive funding.
Without fuzes, which are only screwed in just before firing, modern artillery shells are really difficult to set off.
If you think about it, the act of firing a shell out of a cannon and sending it miles away is pretty violent, but the shells don’t explode in the cannon.
Without the correct fuzes, the shells won’t even explode when they land.
The official reason for the introduction of the six-day work week is that there is a shortage of skilled workers on the Greek labor market as the population keeps shrinking and the country losing scores of thousands of workers who fled during the economic and austerity crisis in search of jobs in other countries.
So "The austerity and beatings will continue until morale improves."
Russia's intervention in Syria in 2015, initially aimed at supporting President Assad’s regime, during the civil war, has led to a permanent deployment of thousands of Russian troops there.
Moscow relocated some troops and equipment from Syria to the Ukrainian battlefield last autumn of 2022, potentially making their troops in Syria more vulnerable to Ukraine's attacks in the region.
At the same time, given a prolonged presence in the region, the Russians have created multiple recruitment centers for the deployment of Syrian mercenaries in Ukraine.
The recruitment of mercenaries is conducted under the supervision of the “Center for the Reconciliation of Opposing Sides and Refugee Movement Control” from the Russian-occupied Khmeimim Air Base.
There, mercenaries are issued Russian passports and then mobilized into the Russian Armed Forces.
In May 2023, HUR Chief Kyrylo Budanov vowed to “destroy Russian war criminals anywhere in the world, wherever they are.”
In addition to Syria, Ukrainian HUR special forces continue their hunt for pro-Kremlin Wagner PMC mercenaries in Sudan.
Mostly asking because I've never used these before due to never needing to. That, and I have a few old disc based PC games that I'd love to be able to straight up boot without the game disc. These are games I could just pirate, but I figure I already own them in disc, so I'd rather see if there are any reputable places with...
Those no-disc patches can be sketchy and infected, so watch out!
My preferred way to play games without CDs was virtual disc emulators, so you can store a copy of your game disc on your hard drive, and virtually pop that game's CD image into the virtual drive in when you want to play that specific game.
One good trick with these, is that you don't even need a full copy of the disc: There was some trick to creating a very small disc image that just has enough information to get past the game's copy protection, but it's been well over 2 decades since I did any of that, so you'll have to do your own research.
I see nothing wrong with this speculation, from a US point of view: A wave of Mexican climate refugees from Mexico City could fuel the Republican propaganda machine tar Biden as being soft on the border, and help Trump. Even though sadly Republicans in the Senate are blocking a bipartisan Senate border security bill.
Although Mexico is having a presidential election too, which makes the statement somewhat ambiguous, although Mexico's election day is really soon on June 2nd, which is well before summer.
Thanks, and Oh wow, that's William Goldsmith, a former KPIG and KFAT DJ. KFAT was great! KPIG is apparently still around, but you have to pay to get the stream if you're not in the Santa Cruz area to tune in.
I'm doing a blend of Kona from a local store and whole food Kenya. It's a 70/30 of Kenya to Kona and taste great. The Kona alone I got taste and looks like really dark soil after a brew, so I picked a lite roast to see how it would go and I'm happy....
My local Walmart has given up on Aeropress, so I picked one up today in the clearance shelves for USD$15. The price label says it normally sells for $34.98.
I'll give a report after I figure out how it's best for me to use it.
For my daily driver french press, it's back to working on that bag of Mexican organic dark roast whole beans that I got at Grocery Outlet months ago.
For a dark roast, it's smooth and sweet.
Being able to grind a week's worth of brews at a time is helping the beans retain their flavor longer, I hope.
I picked up a bag of Four Sisters dark roast donut shop blend grounds, again from Grocery Outlet, so I'll be trying that out in the next week or two.
Again looking at what's in Grocery Outlet, I just can't bring myself to buy a bag of Dunkin Donuts beans/grounds with less than a month to their best by date, when there are better options.
2nd attempt: It worked! Preheating the mug, half-filling the aeropress with water and grounds, stirring to wet all the grounds, blooming the grounds for 15 seconds, then filling the rest of the volume with fresh hot water just before pressing resulted in a nice hot cuppa!
The taste was about the same as last time: Strong, but without the oily aftertaste of french drip.
Things I am not liking about the aeropress: Fiddling with the paper filters before I've had coffee - They are sticking together. I'm looking into the stainless mesh filters both OEM and third party, Plastic - Although it feels well made and durable, a mostly glass or stainless steel version would be welcome for environmental purposes, and microplastics anyone? Although I suppose the silicone plunger is unavoidable, The brewing process feels bit fiddly - I'm not used to it and haven't optimized my process yet.
So I've been grabbing a few shows I want to watch reruns of while playing Balatro that don't have good blu ray releases. My piracy is fairly limited these days so I don't bother with private trackers (do have a VPN though). In the past, I never really had an issue with grabbing a few one offs off the popular, maybe honeypot,...
I have also noticed some dips in brightness in some shows.
Sounds like an encoding problem, or some sort of form of copy protection in the streamed video that screws up the encoding algorithms, like the old Macrovision copy protection on VHS tapes.
