In October 2017 United States African Command confirmed that three Green Berets had been killed and two more had been wounded when their patrol was ambushed in Niger. Reaction to this news from the non-Corbett Report audience was: “What? There’s a United States African Command?” followed swiftly by “What are Green Berets doing conducting patrols in Niger, anyway?”
There are currently roughly 7,500 US military personnel, including 1,000 contractors, deployed in Africa. For comparison, that figure was only 6,000 just a year ago .....
The first documented U.S. direct military engagement in Tunisia since World War II has largely passed unnoticed…
Last month, a U.S. Africa Command spokesperson confirmed in a Task & Purpose report that Marine Corps Raiders were involved in a fierce battle in 2017 in an unnamed North African country, where they fought beside partner forces against militants of Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM). AFRICOM acknowledged that two Marines received citations for valor but withheld certain details, such as the location – undisclosed due to “classification considerations ......
Whenever US forces aggressively attacks countries, dirty war is waged, including use of banned weapons. Prohibited terror-bombing is longstanding US policy, indiscriminately harming civilians.
Canon question: Who was Weyrwoman when N'ton became Fort Weyrleader? D. M. Domini Dragonriders of Pern 4 Feb 17 2014 10:20 PM
(My excuse us that this subforum seems to handle a wide variety of XKCDish things… At the very least, there's readers here who are registered writers there, I know, so could get around the problem to tell others of the problem, if it hasn't yet been reported.)
Just found myself (without registration, and not getting one just for this) stymied by the ReCaptcha authentication box.
The 'image' word is basically text telling me that something in the Captcha is changing on 31/Mar. It then won't accept this text as authentication (as I presumed it wouldn't, but it was worth a go anyway for a moment or two of mild amusement) and therefore won't accept my attempted edit.
(And if someone could put one or more </marquee> tags as a final closing comment/header at the end of the 1965 page comments section, with "just for completion's sake… ~~~~" to justify it , that'd basically be what I was going to add. Now it's up to someone else whether it was worth it. )
Yeah. This is basically for www.xkcd.com and forums.xkcd.com problems. Services for fora.xkcd.com isn’t assured, and that simply redirects to forums.xkcd.com
The problem is clearly for the 'clients' of ReCaptcha, because they may not be aware of the service change by ReCaptcha (which is RC"s fault, if the only way they are promulgating the information is the thing I saw, which is only visible to people who are as far from being the people who could deal with the problem as you could imagine1...) Very few Administrator-level people on such a service will ever voluntarily retain a habitual "CAPTCHA-needed" access-level on a spare browser, and will probably have to dig up a spare machine/less-used browsing client install to even follow my breadcrumb to check the current situation, see the URL mentioned and follow it to resolve the issue.
I'm assuming that there was also a mail-out sent to administrators registered to use the service, but we all know that such an infrequent communication on a possibly mostly unmonitored contact address (or, worse, burying itself within piles and piles of mostly useless newsletters, digests and traffic analysis reports, provoking a manual or automatic filingaway into a (semi-)Spam mail folder).

I consider the job that I intended t do to be done, using the most direct method I could think of2. If you want to shuffle it elsewhere, please do. I had thought maybe to try the Helpdesk subforum, among others, except that I'm not seeking the help myself, just trying to get those who should do to work it out themselves. On balance, I think I'm happier to have 'misposted' here than to not have tried anything, and acknowledge that I've transgressed slightly but all in good faith and full awareness and with the mea culpa prepared in advance. Not the best practice, maybe, but already keyed into my own moral compass.
Having commended this information to the wide open space of the infosphere (at least until someone else above my paygrade considers hiding it into a /dev/null location) I leave its future to fate and various flavours of TPTB, yourselves and your various kin elsewhere. I've now written far more about it than I had intended.
1 Ironic that the message "this won't work after 31st of March" makes the very same thing not work now.
2 Creating a new Wiki-login, additional to the more ancient one that I haven't used for ages and can't remember the password/contact-email details for, would have taken me past a ReCaptcha test of its own, so not worth trying when I know this would work.
If there is overlap that you wanted to inform, do it in General, as it's not an xkcd site/forum issue.
But you’re still putting a poster of your complaints on Yum! Center about FedEx deliveries to a Kroger regarding their Taco Bell related items.
(Yum! being the corporate entity that owns Taco Bell, KFC, and others; the Yum! Center being the event arena that really really should have been called The Bucket)
There’s..... really not a lot we can do. The problem is with ReCaptcha. It’s happening on ExplainXKCD. davean has nothing to do with that site. Like, I get that you’re trying, but....
I'm new using Zimbra, I have a Trial License now, and I start install the last version "Zimbra Collaboration 8.8.8 with Patch-1", but a have a problem with sync Outlook 2007 with Zimbra Connector for Outlook:
- can I force to re-sync a folder or all folders ? how ? Because, if I copy a lot email from one folder to other and then close the Outlook, when I open the Outlook all the emails I copy are correctly on Outlook, but on server are not! even I click on send/received.
