These Minecraft RTX shaders are getting wild

Wow, yeah, my cake day is in only a few days! I didn’t realize. Cheers!

But the title is not correct?

Per the article -

[Sherman] later said he was incorrect, and that he had based his comments on photos and footage he had seen that turned out to not be a representation of Guard members in Los Angeles.

He said that as of Wednesday, none of the troops has detained a protester.

Of course, it’s always possible he’s not telling the truth.

IANAL but was wondering these things myself, and here’s my understanding:

Whoever, except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress, willfully uses any part of the Army, the Navy, the Marine Corps, the Air Force, or the Space Force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.

18 U.S.C § 1385 - Use of Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Space Force as posse comitatus; amended … Dec. 27, 2021, 135 Stat. 1904.

Trump cited 10 U.S.C § 12406 in his presidential memorandum “ordering into Federal service the appropriate members and units of the National Guard under this authority,” thus no longer excluding them from the Act.

Whenever— (1) the United States, or any of the Commonwealths or possessions, is invaded or is in danger of invasion by a foreign nation; (2) there is a rebellion or danger of a rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States; or (3) the President is unable with the regular forces to execute the laws of the United States;

the President may call into Federal service members and units of the National Guard of any State in such numbers as he considers necessary to repel the invasion, suppress the rebellion, or execute those laws. Orders for these purposes shall be issued through the governors of the States or, in the case of the District of Columbia, through the commanding general of the National Guard of the District of Columbia.

10 U.S.C. § 12406 - National Guard in Federal service: call

It has been argued that the requirements for 10 U.S.C § 12406 have not been met, but also that “the president likely has the authority to call out the National Guard in a merely supportive role,” as reported by CBS News (emphasis mine.)

I unfortunately don’t have time to summarize the nuances, requirements, and exceptions to the Insurrection Act as they apply to this situation at the moment, which, as others pointed out, is another exception to the Posse Comitatus Act, but I hope this at least helps some. I am in no way defending the deployment of the National Guard or Marines in this situation, just trying to understand the facts myself and hopefully provide value to others.

Nice try, peddling this manufactured funny on us.

“It” would be the subject. Time, or tense would be gleaned from the verb conjugation.

E.g. “it is raining” versus “it was raining,” where “is” and “was” are two conjugations of “being.”

The question is more in reference to the subject, “it.” In which case, as partial_accumen describes, “it” is a pronoun representing “the status of the weather.”

Definitely not. If one company checks, it could impact your prospects at other places in your area.

Second others on the experience and certs, certs, certs. These are what got me

Tailoring your resume to the job description and asking good questions in interviews goes a long way in my experience, as well. E.g. “what would you most value?” (referring to certs, knowledge) and “how can I be a better candidate?”

If it’s a company I want to be working for, they’re going to be hiring for attitude above all. Otherwise, if they’re looking for someone plug-and-play they’re desperate to hire, and may be understaffed or facing other internal difficulties.

Murder rate

a quantity, amount, or degree of something measured per unit of something else

- Merriam-Webster (emphasis mine)

Both police killings and murders are increasing, but police murders are increasing faster year over year than homicides are increasing.

Regardless of the administration, the US is increasingly a police state controlled by an oligarchy.

imo, we have to fight on all fronts. While some may argue that it’s a waste of time, I believe the work for short term reform is still important. Even if the long-term goal is something more. While I hold a more revolutionary ideology, I’ve comrades who are doing what they can in the existing system.

ACAB!
