    There is something _very_ unusual in the accompanying photo, and once you realize there's a #submarine floating in the channel leading directly to #LakeMichigan, some hundreds of yards away, you might be not be aware that it's actually a #maritime #museum that hosts tours throughout the year.

    The #USS #Silversides (SS-236): is a Gato-Class World War II submarine that is restored to its original running specs and is ready for visitors.

    Sorry - no water tours.

  5. Huge Win on USS Pension Valuations:

    @ucu have successfully negotiated a change to the methodology to be used for future #USS Pension Scheme valuations which will benefit all members. This change is a major achievement by UCU’s negotiating team and national officials, as well as all members who had voted for and taken the strike action which has unfortunately been necessary to focus the minds of employers and keep this on the agenda.

  9. [edited for typos - i’m sure i’ve still left some]

    There has been numerous comments in the media about #Australia ‘s role in the sinking of an #Iranian frigate in the Indain Ocean by the #SSN #USS-Minnesota. While there is no denying that three #ADF members were aboard, there is no evidence that they acted in any way other than in accordance with their ‘Rules of Engagement’ (or Orders). This article wishes to cast doubt on this with the following argument:

    ”The Australians may not have been engaged in any ‘offensive conduct’ as part of the Minnesota attack, but no precise details have been given as to what role they played. While legally they clearly were not in command and operationally could have been insulated from the attack, it is difficult to envisage how given the confines of a submarine where every crew member has an assigned role ensuring the operational efficiently of the vessel that they could have been mere observers.“ (Quote: Donald Rothwell, ‘Australia is walking a legal tightrope in the Iran War’ of 12Mar26 in thepoint.com.au/opinions/26031 )

    What the author missed is that while all personnel aboard a submarine are critical in the running of the boat, there are three ‘watches’ on board and had ADF personnel been ‘on watch’ prior to engagment with the Iranian vessel, they could well have been relieved by US personnel from another watch prior to the dreadful (and potentially illegal) sinking of the ship and subsequent total disregard for the Conventions of War at Sea resulting in over 40 dead sailors of the allegedly unarmed vessel.

    Just sayin’. Armchair generals ought not to be so specific in their arguments if these do not hold water (pardon the pun).

  11. CW: TDS

    Pour une position anti-abolitionniste du syndicalisme de lutte et de soutien à l'auto-organisation des TDS

  12. So, they freeze our pay because they "can't afford a 2.5% pay rise", in the SAME MONTH as the #USS drastically cut the early retirement factors for pensions, cutting thousands off a pension of someone retiring early.
    Is this a coincidence?

  14. TIL, the German #Datev uses #IBM #zOS for paycheck #PDF generation. PDFs are generated through PDFlib by the Munich based company of the same name:

    PDF producer: PDFlib+PDI 9.0.4-m (zSeries z/OS)

    The API ref is promising some fun:
    "For use with C, C++, Cobol, COM, Java, .NET, Objective-C, Perl, PHP, Python, REALbasic/Xojo, RPG, Ruby"
    (pdflib.com/fileadmin/pdflib/pd)

    As well as:
    "PDFlib is available on a variety of platforms, including Unix,
    Windows, OS X, and EBCDIC-based systems such as IBM i5/iSeries and zSeries."
    (pdflib.com/fileadmin/pdflib/pd)

    And since IBM #zSeries does everything in #EBCDIC, this, of course is also supported:

    "stringformat ebcdicutf8: All strings and option lists are expected in EBCDIC-UTF-8 format with or without BOM."

    And although I do hope that Datev uses Unix System Services #USS instead of plain #MVS on z/OS, this does give me the creeps:

    "MVS versions of PDFlib GmbH products are not thread-safe"
    (pdflib.com/fileadmin/pdflib/Sy)

    Truly curséd. But PDFlib on zSeries doesn't support networking ... unfortunately?
