Over the past two months the U.S. has blown up at least 20 boats in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific.
“80 people have been killed in what are extrajudicial executions under international law,” says Juan Pappier, Americas deputy director at Human Rights Watch.
The Pentagon claims the boats were carrying drugs but officials have acknowledged they don’t know who has been killed.
The U.S.now has 15,000 military personnel in the region.

Sometimes hacking a computer means a whole different thing...
In this use, I'm actually hacking (with a hacksaw) the case apart to add an I/O shield (custom made) so I can fit an older motherboard that was not designed for this case.
And thank you to Gateway for making me do this by not using a removable shield and instead stamping every hole they needed and covering them with a sticker if they weren't on this model. 🤦‍♂️

Periodic solutions in a tumor-immune competition system with time-delay and chemotherapy effects
The main purpose of this paper is to analyze the dynamics of the system of time-delay differential equations (DDEs) \begin{equation*} \begin{split} \dot{T}(t)&=T(t) f(t,T(t))-γE(t)T(t),\\ \dot{E}(t)&=σ+ \frac{pE(t)T(t-τ_1)}{g+a T(t-τ_1)}-\frac{mE(t)T(t-τ_2)}{g+a T(t-τ_2)}-ηE(t), \end{split} \end{equation*} where $T=T(t)$ and $E=E(t)$ represent the concentrations of tumor and effector cells at the time $t$. The coefficients $σ$, $μ$, $γ$, and $η$ are all positive, and $f(t, T)$ repres…

I would add that his comment is spot on but does not apply to the whole population, and we ought to be paying a lot more attention to the people here in the US who do know what life without democracy is like.
Like for example: Jim Crow existed in full force within living memory, and a huge part of the current fascist pitch in the US is bringing it back.

Jenna Norton, a program director at the National Institutes of Health, says she has been put on paid leave following the end of the government shutdown.
"I was not given a reason for being put on leave, but I strongly suspect it is because I have been speaking up in my personal capacity about the harms that I have been witnessing inside the National Institutes of Health," she said in a video posted to TikTok.
The notice Norton received from human resources stated that the…
