So the answer is to let the DSA win and watch them do everything they said they would do and more?
I don’t think so.

Attacking Russians in occupied Ukraine is a common sense move. It’s part of defending your country.
It’s splitting hairs.

The pro rules prohibit that, but college rules allow it.

Also, the construction project is addressing sidewalks and pedestrian safety according to the MoveBR website. What sense would it make to construct- what would be temporary- sidewalks? That would be a waste of money and resources.
That’s the kind of thinking that got several people killed and many injured when they widened I-12 in EBR and didn’t erect temporary barriers to prevent vehicles from crossing sides.
The sidewalk we are talking about is heavily used especially in football season. An alternative sidewalk should be provided. Two young people already been killed and the project just got started.

I am not a Trump fan but this wasn't his fault. It sounds like he and Elon were pointing the finger at each other and looking confused, and then we find out the call was coming from inside the house.
Trump lost his key spokes person and replaced her with an inept person. Bad.
And whomever is advising him is dropping the ball. It’s a key time and things appear to be falling apart.
I’m afraid the next two years is going to be a shite show.

Trump had done a poor job of communicating lately. First Iran and now Ukraine. The administration needs to get their act together especially in election season. All this hurts.

the amount of bs on the ukaine issue is staggering. That justifies never sending a dime to either protaginest.
BS here doesn’t mean our president should know the truth.
It’s obvious, the refinery campaign is hurting Russia more and more; thus the efforts to make Ukraine stop it. Ukraine needs to keep it up.

Faster speeds enable defensive drones to intercept jet powered Geran-3 strike drones that are targeting civilians.
That’s what I was thinking too.

It was given to them for defense only which Ukraine happily accepted on those terms. Faster speeds allow offensive weapons.
I thought I read it couldn’t be used inside Russia.

Smart move.
Why would Musk not want Starlink to work at faster speeds for a more effective defense?

I envy you on many levels. You had a history class with T Harry Williams AND you got to go to that Memphis game! I would have given ANYTHING to have T. Harry Williams as a professor! I have heard ao many stories about him from my dad who had him as a professor back in the late 1940s or early 50s.
I was very fortunate to take a couple of classes with T Harry Williams. Both were in the big auditorium of Lockett. Awesome classes.

And my point was how do you know Russia killing civilians doesn't upset him? [/quote
Because he frequently comments defending Russia; while attacking Ukraine.
Do you think he gets upset when Russia blows up a super market or school?
[quote]I can't speak for him because it seems he has an incorrect view that Starlink is used offensively (and it's not supposed to be, if it is then we might know why it's being throttled), but I operate under the assumption that anyone worth talking to already agrees that Russia killing civilians is bad, and it's not worth the time to virtue signaling about
Makes sense except that I believe a guy who pops in and out of here should be called out because he supports the carnage Russia is bringing to Ukraine.
As for my opinion on us policy, I believe we should be leading world opposition to what Russia is doing. We should be using economic and diplomatic tactics to make it hard on Russia to continue fighting. We should give aid in the form of military weapons to a point. We should be encouraging other nations to do the same with a strong emphasis on Europe.

Unless you are arguing that we should get involved any time there is a conflict in the world, this is a non-argument.
No it’s nothing like that. I just questioned why it upsets him that Russians die because of Ukrainian counterattacks, but not when Russia rains down bombs on civilians.
Sure I wish we could stop it, but we can’t.

You're just using it in this case as a cudgel to deflect from valid conversations on what we should, and according to many here what we are apparently obligated to, provide Ukraine.
Total BS and you aren’t the self appointed board operator. I asked some legitimate questions. Why are you

If your position is that we should ALWAYS get involved in situations where one country is invaded by another, by all means continue your emotional appeals. But otherwise all you're doing is trying to snuff out any opinions you don't agree with and it's not at all consistent with some kind of moral code or argument you possess.
More of your BS Sir Galahad. Keep making up your fairy tales.

Tuesday night Dec. 5th 1972. This LSU senior cut T Harry Williams’ class in Lockett Hall to go watch the basketball season opener against nationally ranked Memphis in the AC.
There was added excitement. Not just that we were playing a top team, but it was Dale Brown’s first game at LSU.
The buzz around the program was tremendous. We had a fairly new arena and a new coach who was stumping the state in true Huey Long fashion. He was talking hoops, giving interviews, and handing out nets all over the state.
After Pete the fans wanted more and Dale tapped into that. With boosters like Redfield Bryan and Frank Brian, and AD Carl Maddox, Dale had what he needed to put LSU on the basketball map.
Well everyone knows the rest of the story. We upset Memphis in Dale’s first game and Dale went on to bring us into the national spotlight. He brought stars and super stars to Baton Rouge. He packed AC to a level that was never equaled.
I still remember that Tuesday night. History class took backstage to a guy making history. Who could have known?

The man is asking some good questions.
Hopefully, we own and control our own security systems, and we aren’t dependent on outside entities.
I’d be surprised if we were.

Let me ask you a question, do you ever get upset that Russia is lobbing hundreds of missiles and flying thousands of drones to take over Ukraine and thousands are dying?
Oh I know all the excuses for the war, and none of them hold water. Russia is just a ruthless aggressor.

I would say no, but also more moral than taking something from someone without their consent because you value it.
I agree, but we’ve seen government appropriate private property to advance their interests. Usually it’s land, but not businesses.
Starlink is a private business. Maybe in war ( our war) I could go along with privatization but not in this case.

Would it be moral for Musk to slow down Starlink and not give them notice? I don’t think so.
