Expanding on what the curated language of the press release actually means for the Forestry Service is not wild claims. It’s context.

“This is just streamlining” is the bias. This is ‘streamlining’ in the same vein of what happened to USAID.

The yahoo article is talking about a facebook post. The main article is talking about the USDA press release.

The press release is talking about shuttering research facilities and “consolidating” them as if forestry research is the kind of thing that sits on a table and can be moved easily.

It goes on to talk about reorganizing base on state level instead of regions and how this “strengthens federalism”. Those regions aren’t as arbitrary as state borders. The forestry service mission was split up like that because those regions have different needs. Colorado and Wyoming do not need separate forestry offices.

Repeating points from a press release does not make a source unbiased, it makes them have the same bias as the source.

Hey it’s my desktop! Love that case. Horizontal motherboards make more sense with how big graphics cards have gotten.

I bought a 16U rack this year to organize stuff a bit. Zigbee dongle is still installed exactly like this. I’m not convinced there’s a better solution.

I want them to survive so bad.

I don’t need my vehicle to be a third place. I don’t want a molded dash with an entertainment center that will be obsolete when it’s new and unable to be modified because they abandoned the DIN standard so you could only buy factory replacements. I just want a thing that can do ~50+ miles a day and recharge that overnight. Which Slate could do with just a regular 120v outlet.

Who knows if they’ll actually make it to market or if it’ll be $40k+ by the time it does, but even without the EV incentive $28k puts it among cheapest new cars in the US. I’m just severely unenthusiastic about any other newer cars on the market if my current one dies.

In 40k they’re kinda like mushrooms.
