Your example doesn't invalidate the comment you were replying to.

(And I can also vouch at the quality of proxies that I bought for dirt cheap, so that I could keep my real cards at home. I bought from a few different companies, and some are very good, some not so much.)

Presumably because they might have to fly a regular flight at night very close to DCA?

Imagine if there was VIP onboard, especially if it was foreign VIP.

There is a law that the govt has to negotiate in good faith. Presumably while they could say "no" to everything, it would be hard to prove that was "good faith" if the union takes them to court.

ATC doesn't get to redo traffic flying in the air.

While missing a comma can have great impact, it isn't the same as missing traffic, and ATC doesn't have the luxury of rough drafts.

You sound like the people who were buying "shitcoins" in the cryptocurrency frenzy.

Best of luck (you'll absolutely need luck, because that's a stupid move).

Unless it lands in the ocean in which case tidal waves, and if on land, probably an earthquake/shockwave.

A comparable ocean impact would be the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, which was about 3x more energetic.

I'd assume quakes transform much more energy into tsunami waves than meteorite hit does.

That is not correct.

Earthquakes' energy doesn't all go to displacing water and hence generating tsunamis. An ocean impact is significantly more efficient at transferring energy into tsunamis.

Interesting, I would assume surface wave dissipation to counteract that compared to seabed origin.

2004 Indian Earthquake was 9.1-magnitude, so it was about 150 megatons of TNT.

The USGS estimated 1.1×10^17 Newton-Meters of energy, which converts over to ~26Mt TNT.

That's why it's easy. People think "I'm not important enough" to be targeted, or "My job isn't that important", but that's what adversaries are counting on. Their "unimportant" job or whatever is just a stepping stone.

Same, but I use a catch-all, not separate inboxes.

I've caught a couple of hacked or sold email lists, but nothing that drastic yet.

One organization posted the email address I gave them on a public contact list webpage, so I get spam/phishing at that one.

Using a catch-all is the easiest way to do this, and I highly recommend it for other people.

May I ask what E-mail provider you use? Or do you run your own mail server?

(not GP)

Most providers let you run a catch-all adress on your own domain. You usually set it up with just a check-box "catch-all" and where to send all mail, or you write the username as "*" in an alias.

The gestures were nothing alike[0] and living in Germany I can tell you most people here agree on what it looks like.

Not sure if the picture was from that video, but I appreciate it. I also have never lived in Germany, but I assume Germans have seen more historical depictions than I have, so thank you for that datapoint.

Anyone who thinks it was not a Nazi gesture, go into work and do the exact gesture in front of your manager, and see what happens.

> I did see one picture of Kamala making the same gesture as Elon though.

A picture lacks context. And if that is the one which I think it is, it is clearly an utterly different gesture due to the context. Misrepresenting that is not acting in good faith.

He often does not look normal.

He gave a nazi salute to the USA flag. He saluted once to the crowd, then turned around and saluted to the flag. Sadly many people have not seen the full video.

> He often does not look normal.

Nor does he talk "normally", so that's why I don't put much faith in the assumption that he was thinking that he was doing a Nazi salute.

Have you seen what he posts on his social media accounts? It is full of fascist, racist, conspiracy content. It is almost certain that he knows how a Nazi salute looks like and that it was two of them.

You can argue the gesture was unintentional, but to say it "look nothing like the salutes in documentaries, TV shows, and movies" is just a lie. Nothing like it? What would he had to have to have done differently for you to say it looked similar?

Amusing, since the entire defense of Elon at this point is a bad faith attempt to dilute the richest man in the world's continued racist ideas, comments, and actions.
