Is this an attack on our Postal Service? Please tell me.

So was driving and heard this ad on the radio for this .com company that is offering US Postage stamps and other postal service that cost less than our US Postal Service? What's up? So why would the USPS partner with a private for profit on basic services like stamps? Talk me down ... who owns this enterprise?

A domestic terrorist

He must be arrested and charged as a terrorist. He did use one of ISIS's big tactics.

SEE IT: Enraged white SUV driver tries to mow down George Floyd protesters on Queens sidewalk after threatening them with knives

Just me or are cops not policing looters but only peaceful protests?

Watching the best videos and reading all the reports, seems to me that we are watching the police abuse the peaceful protesters, even assaulting passive bystanders, the Clergy, medical personnel helping the injured, even young children walking with their parents in peaceful protests. Why are they not out on the streets arresting the looters? Maybe because some of them are white? You tell me.
Saw a video from Santa Monica, CA --- a Patagonia store --- only white kids looting everything. Kids driving off on motorcycles with surf boards under their arms, in broad daylight.

Sorry, can't find the video. Maybe someone else remembers that and can re-post.

What is this on DU when I logged in?

https://www.democraticunderground.com/index.php

What is index.phb? What is the purpose of the index.php file?

https://docs.joomla.org/What_is_the_purpose_of_the_index.php_file%3F

<head>
<title>My Example Webpage</title>
<meta name="title" content="example" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="www.example.com/css/css.css" type="text/css" />
</head>

And the same thing done the Joomla! way:

<head>
<jdoc:include type="head" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $this->baseurl ?>templates/mytemplate/css/css.css" type="text/css" />
</head>

So, instead of these header parts being defined on the index.php file, the header parts are looked up from the database by bits of php code. The clever part is that both these scripts will deliver the same code to a user. If you look at the code of a joomla website, all the <?php blah /> will have been replaced by regular html code.

Good template design

index.php should be as bare-boned as you can make it because it will be re-sent every time a new page is loaded. Elements such as styling should be delivered in css files that are saved in the users cache. The tutorials here will go through the technical aspects of creating your index.php.

Why index.php ?

Index.htm has historically been the name given to the home page of a website. Thus when a user navigates to www.example.org, the webserver delivers www.example.org/index.htm. Because Joomla! is written in PHP, index.php is the automatically served file. To further complicate things, when a user navigates to the joomla website, the index.php of the root directory redirects to the index.php of the current default template.

Hey, powerful white society, please tell us how to protest you!

People of color, workers, women, LBGTQA ... have fucking been trying to protest for the last 200 years and we can't get it right yet? Snark.
This is not a riot, this is a civil rights protest. Equality under the law has never been truly afforded to all of our citizens.

I think of the 1960's, about now. "People Power," I am not afraid because something better is going to come out of these struggles. It's the age of Aquarius after all and it ain't been realized yet.

Big question: can we get Covid-19 from meat packing plants?

I hear of people who are doing everything right to protect themselves from getting infected. And yet, they are getting sick. So, people are getting sick in their homes ... how? If all these workers are sick inside these meat packing plants ( and now people in the fields harvesting produce, lettuce) then can those pathogens be served up in our packaged products.? Has anyone looked at if Covid -19 can be transported via our packaged meat and or produce?

Ok, white men who support these protests, stay away tonight

Please stay away so that the right wing white supremacists who are attending and causing the fires and destruction can be rooted out. BAN white men with hammers from these protests, in order to protect the community from these creeps. I know this sounds drastic but how else are we going to stop these RW anarchists that are calling for a civil war ... code for killing black folks.
