If they don’t comply, everyone involved gets purged from the DOJ. Then those most capable of supporting and providing information to their coworkers will no longer be there at all. If they comply, they can still support those around them. Though it is admittedly more difficult without the work sponsored organization.

There will probably be other efforts to purge LGBT people from government, but they don’t have to hand them a reason to fire them by refusing to comply with the EO.

You may be right that it is cowardice, but I think that is unlikely. Judging by what I’ve seen at other government organizations, the employee resource groups end, but those most involved have given contact information out to fellow employees to get support and assistance outside of work. And that isn’t regulated, so it’s not breaking any of the rules.

The one advantage to getting fired over something like that, is it would provide standing to challenge it in court. I’m sure that will happen somewhere though.

I really wanna know where you got that outfit 😜

I guess I’d just prefer to give the award to people who are actually at fault. Like Judge Aileen Cannon. She actively worked to make sure justice didn’t happen, and that there were no consequences for all of the blatant crimes.

And how does that make him a bag of shit? He did what was in his power to do. He pursued the case for as long as he could. The DOJ decided to no longer pursue the case. So he pushed to have his report released. The lack of results doesn’t fall on him.

And honestly, Mueller gets a lot of flack, but he very clearly laid out the evidence from the investigation. He didn’t have the authority to pursue charges of any kind. That would have required AG Barr and the DOJ to press charges.

So there may be a lot of shit, but people seem to really misunderstand how that system works. Or willfully misrepresent how it functions. Or doesn’t function.

What did you want or expect him to do?

I am one of those people that would love a better battery, and also that is going to buy a pixel as my next phone instead of an iPhone. If they hadn’t forced AI garbage into the phone, I wouldn’t be planning the change. I know the new pixels also have AI garbage, but they have the advantage of allowing me to wipe the OS completely to install something less maliciously intrusive.

If Harris wins, expect Democrats to move right

I don’t know if all states have it, but Virginia does have vote history on their voter registration page. It doesn’t show what your vote was, but does show that it was received and counted.

You’ve been studying and building transfer cases and differentials for decades? Are you just running down the list of shitty internet troll tropes?

I was responding on this thread for people who wanted answers about something they didn’t understand. Not to argue with someone who just wants to argue.

If you think a center differential does at all the same job as a transfer case then you definitely need to do a lot more reading. They are entirely different components with completely different roles in a vehicle. There are AWD systems that can selectable, that doesn’t make them 4WD. And you still haven’t sourced anything. You just keep saying I’m wrong. So if I’m wrong then provide some actual evidence.

There is an answer and it’s the one I already gave. There are always edge cases and exceptions because there are an absurd number of variations and vehicles types. By and large I already gave the deciding definition, and it is in what I linked as well as many others places.

Edmunds - “Traditional 4WD systems have a two-speed transfer case with high- and low-range modes that can be selected by the driver, either with an electronic switch or a mechanical lever.”

CARMAX - “Key to how a 4x4 works is a piece of equipment called a transfer case. This connects the vehicle's front and rear wheels, splitting the engine’s power evenly between them and making both axles turn at the same speed.”

And the article didn’t list the rules because it was wrong about everything. The rules are listed by the National Park Sevice. “A four wheel drive vehicle is defined as a sport utility vehicle (SUV) or truck with at least 15-inch tire rims and at least eight inches of clearance from the lowest point of the frame, body, suspension, or differential to the ground. Four wheel drive vehicles have a transfer case between the front and rear axles that locks the front and rear drive shafts together when four wheel drive is engaged. All wheel drive (AWD) vehicles do not meet this definition.”

So again, repeating yourself doesn’t make you more right. It does however increasingly make you look like an ignorant ass that has no desire to actually learn anything.

I’d love to see something other than you just saying no to back up your argument. Because just repeating wrong information doesn’t make you any more right. I didn’t even have to really look hard for sources that mention a transfer case as a key component of a 4wd system. And I’d say all of these folks probably know more than you.

Oh, and on top of that, in the rules that this whole thread is about, they specifically mention the transfer case as the requirement for a system to be 4wd.
