These gifts are personal gifts, and they can be taken home, if they’re below the GSA threshold. If they’re above that threshold, the president has to pay fair market value. If they don’t pay up, it goes to the library. That’s all in the text I pasted. “Personal” is not relevant; that word is not in article I section 9.

No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.

The handling of gifts from a foreign official to any Federal Government employee, including the President

Point out whatever section of the Constitution makes this illegal. I assume you’re referring to the Emoluments clause which explicitly says it’s illegal without congressional consent.

Congress has consented to the President receiving gifts with the Foreign Gifts and Decorations Act of 1966.

It’s literally not constitutionally illegal.

The Constitution (Article I, Section 9) prohibits anyone in the US Government from receiving a personal gift from a foreign head of state without the consent of Congress.

The handling of gifts from a foreign official to any Federal Government employee, including the President, is largely governed by the Foreign Gifts and Decorations Act of 1966 and further legislation passed in 1977. Congress has allowed Federal employees to retain any gift from a foreign government, as long as the total US retail value of the gifts presented at one occasion does not exceed an amount established by the General Services Administration (GSA). Foreign official gifts over this “minimal value” are considered gifts to the people of the United States, which the recipient must purchase from GSA, at fair market value, in order to retain.

Huh? Germany surrendered before nuclear weapons were used in Japan. Germany surrendered 8 May 1945; Hiroshima was nuked 6 Aug 1945; Japan surrendered 15 Aug 1945.

I wouldn’t call them a butter bar to their face. Lieutenant is the proper term for the most junior Army officers.

To be fair I had multiple moves as an E4, both domestic and overseas, and those were fine too. They don’t hire special movers for officers, at least the non field grade officers.

Any O1 is a butter bar. It’s what the rank insignia looks like for all branches.

You’re not supposed to tip military movers, it’s in the instructions you’re provided.

My wife and I just recently moved using military movers and all our stuff is fine. She’s a captain (the O3 kind).

Both teams of people were professionals and we didn’t lose anything to theft or damage. Maybe we just got lucky, idk. My experience as lower enlisted having government movers pack up my shit in Italy to move back to the states was similar back in 2014 though. Never had an issue.

Portal 2 co-op is dope.

Is there a more reputable source for this? I’m only finding stories from a couple unheard of outlets.

Elaborate on “milk is just filtered blood”, because the breast is not a kidney. This doesn’t jive with what I’ve learned about physiology. Lactocytes synthesize milk proteins such as lactalbumin and casein, they aren’t filtered out of the bloodstream.

I’d argue eggs aren’t chicken periods either, it’s not their endometrial lining.

Basically it’s almost ensured that most multicellular life is toast.

Based on what? Look at previous extinction events, especially Permian-Triassic. The earth survived 2500ppm CO2 concentration and an 8℃ increase in temperature. Tons of species went extinct but it was very far from being a lifeless rock.

Chicxulub impact? That makes simultaneously detonating all the nuclear weapons ever produced by humans look like a firecracker.

I don’t disagree with your assessment that tons of life will be absolutely fucked. I don’t agree though that we can somehow end life altogether on Earth. I don’t even think we could do that if we tried.

Sure, why not? It’s not illegal.

You know that drive has a 1 year warranty, right?

HDDs have a bathtub failure curve no matter who makes them.

FH is more arcade than simulation compared to GT, very different feeling games.

When I was putting together my NAS, WD was selling their NAS grade drives without disclosing they were SMR. They got hit with a class action for this.

They’re all trying shady shit, no HDD will run forever, no corporation cares about you, so use whatever you want and backup your data.

I have 114TB of Seagate drives right now and they’re fine. I’d use WD too, or HGST. The fanboyism around HDDs is so strange to me.

Pilot error is a convenient way of ignoring the systemic causes of the crash.

I don’t think so. I’ve had the same gmail address since 2004 and I don’t notice it being particularly bad right now. It comes and goes in waves.

you know nobody is reading your emails

Can’t they be read by someone who’s compromised whatever server the other person is using? Since email isn’t encrypted, couldn’t anyone who picked up the traffic on the way to your server also read that email?
