The veterans are correct, but I think they are also incorrect.
They are correct in that expansionist imperialism isn't romantic or wonderful and fighting for an expansionist empire isn't beautiful or fun, but they are incorrect in that the coming era will not be a peaceful one and so many of the young men who are up and coming are likely going to have to fight at some point or another, or face losing everything they care about.
The Japanese lucked out in that they lost to the Americans, but they could have just as easily lost to the Soviets, and then their descendants wouldn't have had such nice and easy lives, or their ancestors could have chosen not to modernize and build their initial empire, and they could have ended up much earlier getting attacked by the English or other Europeans, living through the century of humiliation of the Chinese did which in many ways was worse than the imperialist wars that followed. The world isn't simple.

Even for the justices who agree with the things that are being stayed here, it's a dangerous game to play which is why I think you're starting to see the liberal justices turn in some cases.
If courts are allowed to just do whatever they want because it's expedient, and the supreme Court can be ignored, then it doesn't matter what your political leanings, the supreme Court becomes irrelevant and the power that these individuals have been granted becomes similarly irrelevant.

I know exactly the last time that I went outside with my friends, because we all knew after that time there was no going back. It was shortly after graduation, and it was like "yeah, this is our last blast. Let's make it count."
My mom got my son one of these, it was literally just a slop machine. Thankfully it was also a Bluetooth speaker so you can play audio books instead.
One of the nasty little secrets of decarbonization is that once we stop using fossil fuels, slavery is likely to return in many parts of the world as we lose the capacity to prevent it globally through overwhelming military force, and the economic incentive to prevent it through other forms of energy.
[Admin mode] Down for about half an hour. Not really down, but I had to make a change to the electrical for the access point, which obviously knocked down DNS, and I have to manually update DNS now.
The electrical change is a sort of funny thing -- it was already set up, but then one day the Internet went down and we had to reboot the access point, and it's too well hidden. I moved everything around so there's an easy way to restart it at eye level for the future.

tbh most companies do exactly that now, because the real estate part of the business is more important to some of the companies than the food part.

This video discusses two behaviors of drops of liquid. One is that that drops of liquid under a vacuum do not splash. Another is that drops of liquid with a charge do not splash.
We live in a world where we've been told since children that space is the final frontier; Here we can see that drops of liquid, something we live around every single day, has attributes that have only been discovered and documented in the past 20 years. The vacuum thing was documented in 2005, and the electricity thing was documented this year. There are no final frontiers we've discovered yet. Even the mundane in our lives have undiscovered properties.
Some people want everyone to think the world has nothing left to teach us, that there's nothing left to learn, that we know everything. It's a lie. There's everything left to discover, everything left to learn, everything left to explore.

The fediverse is the last bastion of a great tradition of Internet freedom.
That's a place worth fighting for.

How cold is it out? Depending on your answer I can tell you if it's 5 1/2 or 3 1/4 inch floppy.
