Senator Kelly is correct.

Plus a Public Service Announcement:

KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.

The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Caveman Blue Cheese from Rogue Creamery

Semi-hard Oregon 🐄 🧀 with blue mold. The aroma is the only subtle thing about this blue. Crumbly, but fudge texture and a few crystals. Strong blue and salt flavor, with a background of pecans, bacon, and maybe roasted root vegetables.

The key is “observations”. Cutting NWS or NHC funding for things like weather balloons and the people who collect the data is to the detriment of the model.
This is a legitimate scientific revolution in meteorology.

Also, to be clear, these models are not the AI LLMs that most people are familiar with. They are machine learning algorithms trained on observations (actually reanalysis).

Meteorologists are surprised that the weather model that did the best job forecasting hurricanes this year was a new one, introduced by Google. AI may be the beginning of a new era of forecasting. n.pr/49MFa1M

A nice overview of all the underhanded crap FPL has been involved in over the past number of years.
New | A federal appeals panel overturned a decision from U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon (yes, that Aileen Cannon) and resurrected an investor lawsuit accusing FPL of securities fraud, potentially re-opening old wounds from a sprawling series of controversies.

I've been half-ass trying to use FB for @tampamonitor.com and can confirm they totally penalize posting direct links. Just can't bring myself to create static graphics for "engagement".

"off duty incident".

From the sheriff's office "Barber repeatedly struck the victim by slapping, punching, and kicking her. Barber also placed the victim in a headlock that restricted her ability to breathe."

Would be curious what he got called up for with Army Reserve CID since March.

grease floats.

when it flows in sewage and into our plants, it thickens as temps fall, separating in our settling tanks.

the churning water forms grease globs that build like snowballs, and operators remove them so they don’t clog the process.

listen. don’t pour grease down your drains.

There is an ongoing npm security event.

At time of writing, Eleventy core and our official suite of plugins are unaffected.
🚨 A new wave of the Shai-Hulud supply chain attack has hit npm, impacting packages across widely used projects from AsyncAPI, ENS, Postman, PostHog, and Zapier. Attackers added a malicious preinstall script following account compromise. The investigation is ongoing:

“He said, ‘I don’t care about any of this. And he said, ‘You’re going to get arrested too.’”
