So since Haiti can't solve its own problems ... ever ... likely going to see the US install a weak puppet leader in an isolated embassy to they don't get killed immediately. Then this puppet leader will rule poorly because nobody trusts them and of course ask for money and aid which the US will gladly supply.

Then this weak leader will fade into obscurity and all the money and aid will start to go missing and then the media will be talking about it again in a few years how dire everything is in Haiti.

I don't take phone calls, texts. or emails from any entity who claims to be from my bank. I will only answer questions, ask questions, or transact in person at a local branch.

I have a note on file with my bank also stating that so no actions are ever taken unless I am there in person. You'd be surprised how accommodating banks can be.

While it is a nice gesture, sadly any unfulfilled contracts will be replaced by immigrant drivers who will gladly deliver to NYC.

Shucks, should have fired some and reasigned most to some bullshit positions to phase them out over a period of time. Firing every one in one fell swoop will just create a bunch of angry people immediately with an axe to grind.

Social Security was the boomer trap, Social Internet is the zoomer trap.

Get every one addicted to the thing, then control the thing.

Awesome. It's really something hearing and seeing these old birds fly like its nothing; regardless of what nation it came from.

This particular plane appears to be operated by UAA (Ukraine Air Alliance). They appear to be a cargo airline service that is privately operated out of Ukraine. UAA's website appears to indicate they only have AN-12's. These AN-12's are surplus military planes from the USSR which is why they show up as "military" on ADSB sites. They even ran into issues flying in EU airspace since these planes are so old and many did not upgrade navigation or avionics until recently.

There is a "civilian" version of this craft, AN-10. I imagine it's too expensive to switch.

This particular plane , UR-CGV , has been all over. You can see here on Jetphotos all the places it has been as plane enthusiasts take pictures of it.

Ah I want to be really clear I use Fenben for my livestock chickens as a dewormer. So the dosage is very low either 5-10ml per chicken oraly or I may do up to 2 tablespoons in a large 5 gal waterer. For larger animals you may want to do a little more research on your end.

Fenben is marketed to different market segments and animals the "suspension" ratios from what I see is the same accross all products, its just that some products are designed or flavored to target a certain critter. For example the products for horses are usually sold in pre measured syringes or flavored paste to make administering easier. It's also included in food or treats and even in a large gallon size as a drench to just pour over the targeted critter.

Best of luck

I buy Fenben for my livestock at Tractor Supply as well. It's in the same area you would find the ivermectin. It is a milky liquid usually in 3-6oz bottles sold under the name of safeguard.

Arbitrary age limits sounds like a good idea at first but as we march on in time people are tending to live healthier longer. It could be a good indicator to some people and bad for others.

Intelligence tests are a good idea too on paper. But that could be abused as the people who set the standard for the test are the very people that the test would be meant for. Of course they would add loop holes and low bars to the tests.

Term limits would be better. But hopping every one just basically signs their own job security away is a pipe dream. Also, it could still be kind of abused by congresspeople doing even less work and concentrating all their time and money on insuring the correct replacement after their term.

Possibly combining term limits and ways to make recalls easier by both the people and the party might be a winning combination.

The government is giving away military equipment, replacing strong leadership with weak leadership, and has poisoned, physically and mentally, an entire generation of draftees should we need to fight.

People are barely shocked to find out the government killed its own president in 1963. Wonder what people will think when they find out their government just set itself up for takeover.

For frogs snacks this is so sad to watch. He needs to step down or be recalled he clearly cannot perform his duties anymore. The republicants should be ashamed of themselves for parading this shell of a man around just for his vote.

The same can be said about all the other members of Congress that are barely hanging on to life.

I don't think it's a good idea to restrict stuff like this in the manner they are suggesting. The adsb radio frequency is beamed all around us like wifi signals, satellite, radio etc. Going after people publishing this radio data into a nice consumable form seems like more government restrictions.

If the craft does not want to be seen on "adsb trackers" they simply can turn the radio off in the cockpit.

Civilian craft in most airspaces have to have it on by law to comply with the FAA. Military crafts are exempt but many still use it mearly as a courtesy for ATC as they interact with civilian airspaces and airports (Radar has been largely phased out ATC relies heavily on adsb for aircraft positioning in the skies)

Heck ya. Local 'Mom & Pop' hardware stores, farm stores, garden stores, lumber yards that's where its at !

They are out there. People have to get out of their comfort cocoon and search out these places.

As I understand it, Signal is software. It requires an Operating System capable of running it to use it such as IOS, Android, Windows, Linux.

A "Sat Phone" could be describing any device that can communicte to satellites directly. I haven't kept up on tech in this realm as much as others but I don't think there are any satellite phones that have the required specifications to run Signal. They will allow the user to only send and recieve voice and texts and send SOS signals for emergencies.

Now, much like the mobile world there are "hot spots terminals" that a user can purchase for the satellite connectivity which would enable the user to use their normal cell phone or any internet device for that matter and esentially use the internet at a fairly low bit rate.

Lastly, I'm not sure if the Signal App needs to connect to a home service or a cloud service in order to funcion. If it does and the internet is out globally then the Signal App service might not work even if you can utilize a direct satellite connection to whatever state the "internet" is in at that point.

TL;DR In a round about way yes a user can use the Signal App over a satellite connection. The caveat is at a large expense for the equipment and subsequent service fees.

There are some projects like coreboot and libreboot to counter the UEFI problem. Society is based on trust though, for example trusting UEFI vs trusting contributors to these other projects. These types of projects are not for the faint of heart. Should you try it I highly suggest a purpose built computer just for that.

Regarding the CPU chips, there's nothing you can do to the chips today. Many people use a single device these days and everything they do is on it. Having multiple devices for certain activities can help a little bit I guess but it only spreads the problem out not eliminating it.

You can always obtain older hardware to try and avoid the "features".

AMD also has a form of the Intel Management Engine (IME). AMD calls theirs the Platform Security Processor (PSP) also known as AMD Secure Technology. Much like Intel's solution, it is a complete system entirely isolated within the physical CPU chip.

The Intel Management Engine stuff goes back a little further than i3/i5/i7 era chips putting it about 2007-2008.

AMD had publicly started to put their "security" solution into their chips around the bulldozer era of chips 2011-2012.

Also, modern motherboards use UEFI bios which is just as worrying as all the stuff in the CPU chips.

I think it's the title that is triggering people. One can grammatically break down the title from "Fenbendazole Links, Facebook Links, Telegram Links, Amazon Links = BANNABLE" to "Fenbendazole Links = BANNABLE" by removing commas and the other independent clauses.

A title with clear wording about affilate links being the issue, (while not mentioning Fenbendazole or anything specific) leaving the details to the body of the post maybe going into details about evidence showing bot accounts targeting fenbendazole affiliate links in particular would have been more palatable to some.

I try not to be doom and gloom. Do you need to be worried about it ? Sure we all need to be worried about tyranny.

In a normal world, this kind of bill is so preposterous it would never get out of any commitee if not preceeded by an "event" to trick every one into being ok with it (see: 9/11 & Patriot Act). However, we are in troubling times with the government hell bent on crushing their boot heels into our necks.

While the bill is scary on its own, whats more scary is the fact that 90% of Congress is technologically illiterate and this could potentially garner bipartisan support because of "China bad"

Ya that's the hook. Lots of people, because of the media, are thinking that this is because of "hush money". You're absolutely right there is nothing illegal about hush money. Most people who have signed a contract with a company have been part of "hush money" in the form of an NDA.

What might be illegal is where that money came from and more importantly how that money is reported on taxes.

All the fake injections into the economy are going to rear its ugly side efect this year and hurt many businesses. Interest rates going up means less spending and banks raise fees to offset that, people using out of bank ATMs get dinged hard in fees. Also in the 'not a bank bail out bail out' the fund they are pulling from is funded from other solvent banks so their fees will be going up to offset that.

But mainly I think its businesses having to pay the bank for them to be in the store so its a cost cutting measure to remove them. Which dovetails in the main cost saving measure most places are using these days by giving a slight discount for cash purchase or adding an extra surcharge for credit cards purchases as the bank takes a now larger cut of that credit card sale because inflation monkies run the government.

I'm no medial lawyer. No idea what kind of legal recourse you or your Power of Attorney would have should you or some one you know dies or be injured by a life saving procedure such as a blood transfusion.

However, you can have your Power of Attorney make medical decisions on your behalf. Such as refusing all medial treatment. Or accepting medical treatment w/o the use of blood transfusion. You can make the same decision(s) obviously if you are able to communicate.

It is unlikely you or your PoA would be able to convince a hospital to pick and choose blood samples in your particular scenario. Even if they did I think there are cases where a hospital was provided blood and still end up fumbling and using the wrong blood don't quote me on that though.

There are also some cases where a synthetic blood-less substitue is used for religious reasons(Jehovah's Witness) should you or your PoA want the possible life saving transfusion but want to still abide by religious beliefs.

Tl;dr A Power of Attorney or even a Living Will are great ways to have piece of mind on medical decisions when you are unconcious. Just pick some one you know will follow through on your requests - Oh and also keep that record up to date don't want an x-spouse or an astrainged family member making descisions for you.

You're not wrong although it's not immediate. This now starts another legislative process to repeal it, and in doing so will prevent the DoL from doing it again.

The resolution would invoke a legislative process established by the Congressional Review Act, which would repeal the final rule and prohibit DOL from issuing the same or a similar rule in the future. (https://www.cbo.gov/publication/58965)
