issue with @Starlink. I use Starlink on my boat and happy with the service. I've found that if other startlink customers have their starlink on with the default SSID, my phone and computer connect and uses their service. Just drive through any marina for instant service.

I was deployed on the USS Independence CV62 during the Iranian hostage crisis 1980 - 1981. Before we transition the Suez Canal, we went DIW to paint the hull near the waterline. Yea, if you use your carriers, you'll get rust; that's expected.
The USS Abraham Lincoln is rusty because, as opposed to China’s aircraft carriers, it is being deployed, which is something that gives the US an advantage rather than showing decline. You win wars by using your carriers, not by painting them.

I know you want us to put database security into the tools, but that only belongs in the database. Otherwise I only need to switch tools, and I've bypassed all your 'security.'

In a rapidly evolving #technology landscape, staying relevant requires more than technical skills: it requires curiosity, adaptability, and continuous learning.

Hey @HLC_actual this is up your alley, can you comment. This does not seem feasible to me

Venezuela owes China an estamated $10B - $15B in bilateral dept and $25B - $60B in Oil for dept. So, question is, who gets paid out first, US Oil Comanies that had there assets nationalized, or China? How's that going to work?

Now that #DIA has finished analyzing Türkiyes S400 system and came up with quite a few zero day vulnerabilitys will Russia accept the return or will it be "donated?"

I have so much to say about this and for some will not be popular. H-1B has some value; however, it's been so abused that its value has been diluted. It needs a total revamp. The $100,000 fee is a good start.
The H-1B visa was sold as a “high-skilled immigration” program. Instead, companies are applying to use it for jobs like…7/11 cashiers. Here are a few of the absurd H-1B applications that companies have recently filed. ⬇️

As a vet, this is confusing. I'm debating doing a full write-up of my thoughts on the UCMJ and how @SenMarkKelly statement was like saying, "Thou shall not kill." Legal and obvious to anyone who served. I'm willing to die on that hill.
Weekly Rant – Trust Me, I Earned It Why are we punishing a hero while rewarding Moscow? Why are White House priorities so confused, retaliatory, and misaligned with our own national interests? As a veteran, it is difficult to ignore the message sent when the Trump administration orders an investigation into astronaut, U.S. Navy combat pilot, and Senator Mark Kelly while the same circle is confirmed to have held an unannounced meeting in a Miami hotel with a Kremlin linked intelligence risk. That meeting included Trump’s son in law, Jared Kushner, and his crypto business partner, Steve Witkoff. This is a simple dichotomy. One man is a decorated American veteran with a lifetime of service. The other is a sanctioned Russian asset operating through back channel contacts inside the United States. When a government targets the veteran and accommodates the asset, it reveals its priorities without a single word spoken. Does Jared Kushner even hold the compartmentalized clearances required to participate as a formal U.S. representative in sensitive Ukraine–Russia discussions with a Kremlin linked security risk under U.S. sanctions? Even if he did, why was he there, and why is no one in the mainstream press pursuing that question? More plainly, what does this imply for U.S. national security and oversight mechanisms? #OSINT

The @amex Platinum benifits are amazing for travel; however, now I'm retired, discounts on avgas for my plane and various boat owner benifits (marina stays, diesel, part, etc.) would be a welcome. I can honestly say lululemon discuounts don't apply to me. :-)

Ukrainian hackers hit Russia's Gazprom, wiping terabytes of data & crippling systems. Long-term impact: disrupted operations & exposed vulnerabilities in Russia's oil & gas sector. #Cybersecurity #UkraineRussia
