Amen!

Waves clean cast iron in the air.

This article smells fishy. Another commenter mentioned the source not being reliable. But the whole concept of “drawing to a plan to invade Greenland” sounds off to me. Remember the US probably already has detailed campaign plans for something like this.

Part of responding well in a crisis is planning the response ahead of time. In a military context, that means wargaming and campaign planning. I expect the US military has offensive and defense plans for a wide range of situations. That likely includes everything from options for offensive actions in China to plans for defending a conventional invasion from Canada.

To be clear, I’m not picking on the US here. Every professional military in the world is going to do this sort of preparation. Part of a prepared military is having a plan of action in rapidly developing situations.

You can be against religion but also unhappy that a government is arresting people apparently for only practicing a religion.

I don’t think they actually do any weather forecasting. Last I heard, all the US weather apps are getting forecasts from the National Weather Service (part of the NOAA). I imagine it’s similar in other countries. Which makes the bait-and-switch that much more infuriating.

…I think a huge part of the problem here is how people read and consume information; take one bite of what is presented and go straight to an extreme opinion.

I always encourage better media literacy, but it’s a problem when we minimize propaganda as “the reader is the problem”.

Which logs did you look at already?

If you’re using journalctl, I think you should have shutdown messages in the log. You might need to filter by the previous boot for them though (https://linuxhandbook.com/journalctl-boot-logs/).

For dmesg, you might have old, rotated logs from previous boots in your /var/logs folder.

I’d expect any logs around power management to end up in one or both of those places.

You could also try manually triggering a suspend or hibernate to see what happens. I remember having a machine that would suspend fine, but if it was suspended too long, it would hibernate. And for some reason it didn’t know how to come back up after a hibernate.

And qualified immunity in theory is a good thing. Imagine if a rich criminal brought civil lawsuits to every individual involved in prosecuting their case.

In practice, it has shielded violent cops.

Yeah, it sounds more like political fear mongering.

Ya know what…I could see it happening. It wouldn’t do anything. But it’s not the most ridiculous thing this timeline has offered.

Sounds like, whatever her reason, she did it on an impulse.

Deploying regular military inside the US is illegal.
