You can’t really see it clearly but my guess would be it’s a unit hat. The military issues soldiers unit hats to wear as an alternative to normal headgear sometimes. It’s a morale thing since the unit caps tend to be more like baseball caps than military headgear.

here is a shot of some air force civil engineers wearing their unit hats.

Army parachute riggers wear those red hats so they can be picked out of the crowd to assist paratroopers. It could be them or their equivalent in the Air Force, but I’m not sure if Air Force riggers wear the same hats or not.

The people in the photo are rigging the chutes on those pallets and are either Army or Air Force based on the camouflage pattern.

Yeah, they get 2 feet and here in MN we’ve got zero feet on the ground. In February. WTF?!?

TokenBoomer , in Toyota says it would rather buy credits than ‘waste’ money on EVs

Can someone explain what “credits” are like I’m 5? I read the article, but still don’t understand it.

Edit: Is it carbon credit subsidies from the gub’ment?

SeaJ OP ,

In this case, the US governance sets a target efficiency for vehicles (miles per gallon here in the US) and if a pant does not meet that overall efficiency, they have to pay. EVs are a bit odd because they have a miles per gallon equivalency. So if it is expected for them to have 50% by 2030 (50% cars at 100 MPGe and 50% at like 45 MPG(e)) but they out have 30%,they will have to pay a large fine. They are saying they are okay with that rather than ramp up EV production more quickly.

TokenBoomer ,

Thanks

Allero ,

Essentially companies that pollute over certain threshold pay money (buy carbon credits) that then goes into non-profits compensating for those emissions by saving the environment, like planting trees and such.

The system is widely criticized for being very flawed and allowing all sorts of shenanigans and manipilations, as those “carbon credits” are sold at competitive pricing, fostering projects with questionable calculations.

LemmyKnowsBest , (edited ) in Surge in Wendy's complaints exposes limits to consumer tolerance of unstable prices

If Wendy’s hadn’t announced/advertised their new variable pricing strategy, fewer people would’ve noticed, And there wouldn’t be this backlash.

People don’t really notice fast food prices until theyve already paid and sometimes they still don’t even notice until much later In retrospect.

I wish firefighters would just do their job and put it out. But I guess they’re Texans, so… worthless.

scaredoftrumpwinning , in Surge in Wendy's complaints exposes limits to consumer tolerance of unstable prices

Wendy’s was the first to try market price for fast food. I’ve heard of market price for lobster but never for crappy food.

“Agrees?!” Like it’s a choice?

LufyCZ ,

Of course it’s a choice, it’s a settlement. They could’ve refused and gone to court, where they probably would’ve ended up paying a lot more in fines (and legal fees)
