Bin Laden was the head of a transitional group seeking to establish Islamist control. While Al Qaeda did not have official recognition as a sovereign state, they were a well known and established organization.
The US and NATO were heavily involved in the regime change in Libya. US strikes disabled the convoy Qaddafi was in that immediately led to his capture.
No qualitative statement about any of those men. Just a list
DVD Studio Pro was legit.
I did the full Final Cut —> Compressor + Motion for menu animations —> DVD Studio Pro then burned a stack of discs and applied labels
Completely unnecessary, but fun
Sorry, swipe down to exit is the gesture that doesn’t work in the media viewer. Double tap does zoom properly
These are all P0 😉
These are rather nitpicky items. I use Blorp every day and like it more than Voyager, Arctic and Mlem
Well to be fair, SCOTUS hasn’t ruled on the merits yet. This decision just upholds the lower court’s TRO.
If the court grants cert for the actual case, we’d see some kind of precedent established. It’s very unlikely they’d rule narrowly and limit the scope to a single deployment since the administration’s argument is consistent across all of them.
Using national guard forces to protect federal buildings and employees because local law enforcement can’t or won’t
This ruling upholds the Circuit Court order barring the use of national guard forces specifically in Chicago.
A separate order was issued in the ninth circuit barring the use of national guard forces in Portland. That has been appealed and was waiting for this decision.
It’s unlikely the administration will prevail in lifting the order in Portland now that this decision was made against their favor.
Correct. British English typically calls it a full stop
The show ran into issues with distribution rights. SyFy didn’t want to keep funding it because the views were from next day streaming rather than live broadcast. SyFy made less (or nothing?) from the streams.
Amazon bought the rights and funded the final season, but didn’t continue the because the viewership wasn’t huge and they were funding Rings of Power instead.
at least that’s my vague recollection from 8 years agot
In and out. A lot.
Haha no. If he can’t recite the most esoteric, inane facts in an unending chain of blather
Good to know you’ll have a flashing red light if he ever starts to develop dementia
A linear story is split in two parts.
The black and white sections explain Leonard’s backstory and show that he’s willing to lie to himself to be happy just like his wife was willing to lie to him because she was unhappy.
The color section is revealing the consequences of Teddy using Leonard, but also Leonard’s willingness to lie to himself.
The special edition DVD had it recut in a linear fashion. It works both ways… linear is a standard detective story without much depth. Recut, it’s a compelling story about Truth and consequences
Scorching hot take: I thought the first book was a terrible fanfic of the fellowship of the ring and was embarrassingly bad.
Then some friends told me that was the BEST book in the series until Sanderson took over 😬
