Reply to Native Hawaiian women and girls experience sex trafficking and violence at alarming rates, report says by SunCloud-777

"“It’s time for the Department of Defense and Congress to revisit Base Realignment and Closure in Hawaii,” Jabola-Carolus said, referring to the congressionally authorized process the Defense Department has used to reorganize its base structure."

This is completely delirious. This article starts by examining a serious issue then goes off the rails by talking about something from fantasy land. Congress is not going to close strategically vital bases because of prostitution/trafficking. There is no doubt the native community has suffered, but stuff like this is stupid and alienating. I don't see a single other community in the 330+ million people talking about solving a prostitution/trafficking in this way.

Reply to Loudoun school officials indicted by Virginia special grand jury by IHaveGreyPoupon

This is going to be a textbook example of how to shake up politics going forward. The Loudoun administration walked right into this face first, Youngkin and Miyares will be having a field day with this for years. This should be a cautionary tale for schools like the one where the male teacher walks around wearing huge prosthetic tits. There's nothing good that will come from this.

Discontinuing nuclear wasn't sudden. It died a slow death starting in the 1970's. Do you know what will continue forever though? The "ergebnisoffener" searching process over the whole country for the storage of the irradiated nuclear fuel. Even after all these decades, the industry is still positioning nuclear as an energy source where the radioactive waste goes somewhere else and is someone else's problem.

Reply to comment by DanYHKim in John Y. Brown Jr., former Kentucky governor and KFC owner, dies at 88 by maxxspeed

He was upset about the quality of things like the gravy and potatoes when he visited restaurants. I think the franchise scale up was sloppy.

There were several sit-down restaurants in Georgia/Tennessee/Florida (Davis Bros.) that was a franchisee and had amazingly delicious food for a good price. It was one of the few places that had better chicken than home-cooked. Some were large and occasionally gave tours of the kitchen (mostly for women). That was probably the Colonel's vision, but what they got was cookie cutter fast food.

He was the original blueprint for KFC but the Colonel didn't like the scale up quality. Some of the southern restaurant locations were very good with legendary food.

"ON MARCH 7, 1964, Brown and his partner, Jack Massey, paid $2 million for the company, keeping Colonel Sanders on as the genial pitchman. Brown launched Kentucky Fried Chicken outlets all over the world, and his franchising plan became the model for an entire industry. By 1970, the company was taking in $700 million a year and was the largest restaurant chain in the world - bigger than McDonald's."

Reply to ‘Death Stranding’ has been played by 10 million people since launch by Sorin61

"The worlds of the living and of the dead have collided, and the only way for people to successfully avoid ghosts – aka Beached Things, or BTs – is to strap a prenatal fetus to their chest which then detects the BTs through a device known as an Odradek Scanner. These fetuses, confined to a pod which is mounted on the front of Bridges operatives' uniforms, are known as Bridge Babies, or BBs.

"This pod keeps the BB alive until it is decommissioned, which usually happens after about a year of service. The pod is designed to replicate the environment from which the BB was taken: its mother's womb. Bridge Babies are the result of a pregnant woman becoming brain dead, which facilitates the unborn child's connection with the Beach where BTs reside. The stillmothers, as they're called, are kept in an ICU at Bridges headquarters in Capital Knot City, where data taken from their wombs are used to periodically update the conditions of the pod that the BB resides in."

Reply to comment by Explorer335 in Federal bans aren't stopping US states from buying forbidden Chinese kit by Sorin61

This isn't about 5G. 5G is acquired by carriers. This is about network cards, switches, routers, cameras... It isn't being checked at purchase and it isn't being measured/assessed in the infrastructure.

"Between 2015 and 2021, at least 1,681 state and local governments purchased equipment and services tied to the five companies named in Section 889. Every state except Vermont had at least one state or local government entity procure ICTS covered under Section 889 (there were also no purchases in Washington, D.C.).

"Collectively, these entities conducted nearly 5,700 transactions involving a wide range of covered equipment including but not limited to smartphones, surveillance cameras, temperature scanners, handheld radios, and networking equipment. Figures 1 and 2 show the total number and value of government transactions that involved equipment from Huawei, ZTE, Hikvision, Dahua, and Hytera in each state. Our analysis relies on data provided by GovSpend, a company that tracks federal, state, and local government procurement"
