You don't sacrifice chickens to keep your DNS gods happy?

Its mostly coming from Revelation. If the signs are fulfilled then the second coming is now a possibility whereas before that it's not. I remember growing up in the cult there was news about a dam being built in the middle east which got everyone hyped because that could be the catalyst for one of the signs since in theory it could change the flow of a river...

One of the other things called out is Israel being beset from all sides by the world or something then the 40k elect will show up and you get the second kingdom or something. Idk been a while since I read Revelation much longer since I took it literally

I can live with that, 100miles of range is more than I use day to day, so is 60miles. Winter road trips could be a pain, but that's maybe once a year

He was famous for the Linux Sucks talks, and used to be pretty chill always signing off his vids with "be excellent to each other" often playing around with old tech, then idk suddenly brain worms.

This is true having talked to a few enlisted they are wary of re-enlisting when their contract is up. Anecdotal I guess but at least some people really don't like where things are going.

They are just emulating their favorite diety.

This is why "Command said the latest military zone will be part of the Fort Bliss Army base in El Paso."

Effectively what happened was the land was turned into a part of the base. At every US base there is a line usually shortly before the gate, sometimes only at the fence line where you are considered "on base". Once you are on base military police can arrest you since they have jurisdiction on base. Kinda like how if you commit a crime in an unincorporated area, the sheriff will arrest you, not city cops since that's their jurisdiction.

Frankly though this type of move is unprecedented, as far as I know. While the fed can just give fed land to bases, I've never heard of it happening like this. It's a loophole to keep it legal on paper but not in spirit.

AES is a solid symmetric encryption standard. I support the use of it. However I think you might be referring to something else?

So, veteran here. I've tried to talk people out of joining the military or at least trying to avoid jobs with high probability of seeing combat. Usually the result is they just start prying about what combat is like and make statements about how much they want to experience it.

Another tack I haven't tried but it might be more effective, is to describe how miserable it is to have the stench of a burn pit wafting over you, always wondering if the distant gunfire will move in your direction, being stuck manning a 24/7 watch where if even one person who can do that job dies or is otherwise incapacitated you will be stuck doing 12hr shifts instead of 8. Then you get back home and have to fight tooth and nail for benefits from the country that fucked your life up in the first place.

War is hell, coming home is hell, forcing that on someone can only be justified if they are literally at home fighting off an invading force.

Would be nice if we could unfuck the US, also if we could take a bit of money from the military to get heat pumps and induction stoves, and just skip the gas
