12·9 days agoWildland Fire Management and the Wildfire Adjustment
The largest share of FS appropriations goes to the WFM account. The WFM appropriation funds preparedness, or fire prevention, detection, equipment and training; wildfire suppression; and salaries and expenses.
Overall, in FY2025, 51% of the agency’s discretionary appropriations, including supplemental appropriations, were provided for these two accounts (26% WFM, 25% wildfire adjustment).
4·9 days agoInteresting argument. On the otherhand Kim, Putin and Xi all have a lot of real power (be that economic, manpower, firepower) and, at least in the eyes of the USA, are it’s traditional opposition. I’m not sure he has any choice but to respect that power.
I think trump knows who he can bully and when he can get away with it.
Except NATO didn’t join the war. These are just words to keep the big baby happy. Trump won’t live for ever.
Hopefully it works, Trump will be gone soon, but if the US start pulling out of NATO it’ll take a lot more to rejoin. Imho, the NATO guy is playing the best game he can.
Hopefully after Trump a more moderate president will arrive, there can’t be too many like him. 😰
Imagine the NATO guy says “ok, we don’t need you USA” what then?

2·9 days agoThat’s cool, where do you buy your games?
Even streaming from my desktop to TV downstairs using ethernet is noticeable to me! It’s alright for some games but not great for fast stuff.
2·9 days agoI’ve got Jsaux braided usb c cables that work well and last.
Well shucks I’m playing and very much enjoying Desperados 3 on my deck right now. I’ll have to add this to the backlog, thanks!
“without a profit, no one would be productive”
It’s cropped out the top of the image unless you open it lol.
Short term it’s cheaper, but to an enthusiast the lag, and the lack of ownership really rankles.
I do very much enjoy playing super mario galaxy on my steam deck. It’s pickup and play when I have a quick 5 - 15 mins of free time. The cheerful colours and sounds can be an enjoyable escape. A nice change from some of the death and destruction in many more “serious” pc games
As a PC gamer I would never condone such a statement about my console brethren (and sisters), but lol.
The new Super Mario Galaxy Movie is out today – as expected, it is a bare-bones story supported by a cavalcade of Nintendo cameos and bright action scenes. Dubbed “a bland screensaver of a movie” by the Guardian’s Peter Bradshaw, expect smooth-brained entertainment for Nintendo enjoyers.

No doubt you’ll tell me this is biased, but you make your own judgements.

According to Anssaf Ali Mayo, a Yemeni lawmaker, Abraham Golan was hired as a mercenary to kill him back in 2015. He said it was part of a larger effort by the UAE to eliminate people who opposed them politically

Trump acknowledged and dismissed it when the Saudi ruler visited in 2025 https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/nov/18/trump-bin-salman-visit-jamal-khashoggi?hl=en-GB
His body was dismembered and disposed of in some way that was never publicly revealed.

A Saudi citizen who refused government orders to give up his home to make way for a new mega-project was killed by security forces, according to Saudi activists.
“The Saudi government has no right to uproot our people from their lands and homes for their projects that don’t benefit the region or the residents,” said Abutayah.
Abutayah alleged she has received death threats from Saudi agents because of her opposition to the government.
The Red Sea development, known as NEOM, is a mega-project envisioned by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) in Tabuk province.
I call my cat handsome, smart, sweet, and only occasionally silly when he does silly things.
Lol I was looking into this the other day. From what I understand it’s to prevent too much power being with any one group in US govt …
Short answer is no, most countries have rules that see public servants (govt. employees) paid even when a department’s budget has not been agreed - for example Belgium https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010–2011_Belgian_government_formation
26·22 days agoI certainly enjoy talking to LLMs about work for example, asking things like “was my boss an arse to say x, y, z” as the LLM always seems to be on my side… Now it could be my boss is an arse, or it could be the LLM sucking up to me. Either way, because of the many examples I’ve read online, I take it with a pinch of salt.
It could well be the rendering step on my PC. Maybe the router is a bit old too. I can’t remember whether cat 5 or 6 but as you say it’s unlikely to be the cable in isolation. It was playing Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.
