jordanlund@lemmy.worldto Books@lemmy.world•What book(s) are you currently reading or listening? June 32·6 hours agoStarted a reading kick, finished 3 books so far, started a 4th.
Furiously Happy - Just a delight. Funniest book you’ll read about mental illness.

Bullet Train - Bought it because of the movie, only found out after the fact that it’s the 2nd book in a series.

Leslie F*cking Jones - Amazing read about her life and the inside baseball of stand up.

Started - The Book of Elsewhere - So far, the hardest nut to crack. A prose sequel to the BRZRKR comics, but those are so dynamic and visual, it’s hard to capture in words.

That led to the Mulford Act:
You’re confusing Blu Ray (which requires nothing like that) with BD-LIVE which does.
But, honestly, I haven’t seen a disc with BD-LIVE in ages.

But what else could they do? Doom is off the table unless this introduces the alternate universe Tony Stark as Doom.
Annihilus? But then you’d have to do the Negative Zone which may be too much for an intro movie.
Super Skrull? Done on Disney+ for Secret Invasion.

Check out remote job opportunities.
You’d think, right? Best Buy and Target don’t sell them anymore. Walmart is hit and miss on anything other than new releases.
For national availability it’s pretty much Amazon these days.
$15 for a 4K disc that can’t be taken away from you. Physical is the answer.
There’s a solution for that…

jordanlund@lemmy.worldMto politics @lemmy.world•‘Wildly underprepared’: National Guard troops seen sleeping on floors in exclusive photos31·10 hours agoI always give folks time to fix it instead of just removing it. If we tell them “hey, fix it” and it’s been hours and they’re making other posts and comments? Yeah, yank it.
I always assume “Well, maybe they’re at work, or maybe they’re asleep…” but if there’s other activity that’s not an excuse.

It’s weird that the act was updated to include the Air Force though since it was written in 1878.
The Air Force wasn’t officially founded until 1947. The Marines have been around since 1775.

What does the Posse Comitatus Act say?
The Posse Comitatus Act consists of just one sentence: “Whoever, except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress, willfully uses any part of the Army or the Air 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.”
In practice, this means that members of the military who are subject to the law may not participate in civilian law enforcement unless doing so is expressly authorized by a statute or the Constitution.

Because in Old Dutch, the letter g is pronounced like a y when it’s at the end of a word.
