  • With midterms more than a year away, a record number of lawmakers are eyeing the exits

    Jump

  • There is a list. I count 16 Democrats and 21 Republicans.

  • UFC vs NYC seats

    Jump

  • $50,000 ticket though for the real grift.

  • New data shows No Kings was one of the largest days of protest in US history

    Jump

  • I think he’s correct in stating this administration won’t care if we protest or how large it is. What we hope happens is that the protests get more momentum amongst the politically inert. That momentum could build us up to a general strike which would have more influence once the capitalists bottom line gets impacted. Maybe. IDK. This all sucks.

  • I swear I read a thought experiment on this topic decades ago in a Penthouse or Playboy.

  • Donald Trump Says He’s Deploying National Guard In D.C., Placing Metropolitan Police Under Federal Control

    Jump

  • Yes, it was the "undue suffering" component that I was thinking of. Thanks for the clarification. What was the reason to do away with them then? They went to flat blades, didn't they? Not sure if bayonets are even current issue for armies any longer. Are they?

    Jump

  • I believe the triangular bayonets are against the Geneva Convention rules of war now chiefly because of their lethality.

  • How to Make a Successful Company

    Jump

  • Reminds me of a related racing joke:

    How do you earn a small fortune in racing?

    Start with a large fortune.

  • ICE detainee found hanging by neck in detention facility, agency says

    Jump

  • AKA being Epsteined.

  • Thousands of formerly secret files on police misconduct in California made public through searchable database

    Jump

  • He got fired, but also received $38k for workers comp and for alleged emotional damage from the incident. The pepper sprayees got $30k each from their lawsuits.

  • White House Orders NASA to Destroy Important Satellite that Collects Climate Data

    Jump

  • (Ex NASA employee) David Crisp said it “makes no economic sense to terminate NASA missions that are returning incredibly valuable data,”

    Yes, but it makes perfect sabotage sense from a saboteur's perspective.

  • New Jersey says 3 chemical makers agree to 'forever chemical' settlement worth up to $2 billion

    Jump

  • Doubtful. I don't even know how you do that. Take a look at the Veritaseum video on PFAS linked here as it is good at explaining the scope of the problem.

  • New Jersey says 3 chemical makers agree to 'forever chemical' settlement worth up to $2 billion

    Jump

  • Excellent video. I watched it last week. It made me leery of over half the items in my house as possibly contributing to my (unknown) PFAS load. It also makes me want to go test for it just to reveal what's there. One more thing to think about. Yay.

  • UN report finds United Nations reports are not widely read

    Jump

  • UN something, something…

  • Cutting Out the Middleman (by Jen Sorensen)

    Jump

  • There were a few sites that tracked manufacturer adoption of when the telemetry black boxes got installed, but I cannot find the specific ones I referenced a few years ago. You can “shop” for telemetry insurance and check that way too. The car won’t be eligible if it doesn’t have the hardware.

  • Cutting Out the Middleman (by Jen Sorensen)

    Jump

  • Pre-telemetry cars from the naughties are the sweet spot. No cell connection either. New cars are icky.

  • Amazon is considering shoving ads into Alexa+ conversations

    Jump

  • Likely b/c your comment reads like you are stating OP is using it when you probably meant a more general public "you"? That'd be my guess. I think most, if not all, here would agree to not ever use alexa, that bitch.

  • Amazon is considering shoving ads into Alexa+ conversations

    Jump

  • Fuck you! I'm eating!!

  • Are you worried about your child’s screentime? Get a landline

    Jump

  • Yes, that seems to be the case. If you do cancel and move, the new owners won’t get a landline. The carrier in this particular area has also contracted out any rural service work.

  • Dealer Repossesses Car, Customer Responds by Legally Taking Dealer's Name

    Jump

  • If I had seen the printed name I would use the Peruvian pronunciation not knowing any better. I got the correct one from the article and given the topic felt it was a playful and appropriate tweak of the spelling so others might know too.
