I mean, someone once said the world would only see an American pope if America’s position in the world severely changed. It makes sense; I can see where having America as powerful as it is plus that connection to the Vatican could be an issue.
Guess who severely changed America’s position in the world
Grams are a measure of weight (well, mass if you want to be really specific). Tablespoons are a measure of volume. In order to do a proper comparison you need to know density.
Because metric plans things nicely, a gram is one milliliter of water. 4 tbsp is 59.15ml. So… Yeah, pretty damn close to 60, but again that’s when working with water. I would imagine chili flakes are a little less dense and might throw that calculation off a bit.
Why the fuck does the floor plan include a gun range?
And 4 tbsp would be triple 4 tsp, or 54 grams. Similar ballpark at least.
I think the word “that” (as in, “tells CNN that Cuba…”) would be more effective/correct than any kind of punctuation, but headlines have weird grammatical rules behind them so that may not be “allowed”
Ugh, I need coffee. I read “CNN Cuba” as a Cuban division of CNN, and wondered how that could possibly be.
I mean, the lead pipes are already there. It’s not like the alternative is to install more of them…
…yet 😔
Kinda sorta. I’m firmly in the millennial generation, so there aren’t as many computers older than me. But I can tell you about my dad bringing home a brand new 486 (25MHz) and temporarily setting it up for the first time on the kitchen table, before it was officially set up downstairs.
In high school I got a handful of leftover computers to play with. Some early Pentiums, a really weird 486 tablet (still have that in my crawlspace!), and stuff like that. Great to learn hardware on, do some homework in my room, listen to Winamp, etc.
Then college came and I had less time and space. Then I bought a home a couple years later (when they were all on sale!) and had a kid. Most of my time and money goes to those things.
But! I hate where technology is going now. I remember things being fun and innovative, rather than yet another thing weirdly integrated with an app on your phone (likely with a subscription 🙄 ). So I’ve spent some time restoring antique radios, and put together some fun projects I’ve found that use a 3D printer and Raspberry Pi, including a working mini computer that runs a Dosbox instance with my favorite games from that 486.
Tl;dr not that young by Lemmy standards, but I get it!
a little-known federal tech team called the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE
Little-known? Really?
I miss the days when satire was fake
I’ve been saying this for ages and is refreshing to hear it from someone else for once! I’ve also learned the term “dummymander”
No. Grand juries are used when a prosecutor wants to bring a certain level of charges against someone. The prosecutor basically shows the evidence they have that would justify a case, and they sign off on the indictment (charges). While a trial is not a sure thing for either side, grand jury proceedings are basically a formality and it’s not uncommon for a prosecutor to go their entire career without failing to get a grand jury indictment.
If an officer-involved shooting is justified and there’s no reason to bring charges, there’s no reason to get a grand jury involved either.
Soo, extortion?
Changing minds is meaningless if there is no systemic change.
Sure, but systemic change is that much harder to achieve if nobody wants that change
AG could be alright. Other than that his experience is amazingly in-depth in very specific areas but lacking breadth.
Plus there can at least be a veil of nonpartisanship if he doesn’t run. I don’t know his political background and honestly don’t care to.
Yeah? Re-read my comment. I said it helps disprove the myth that they aren’t.
And if that’s not enough for him, millimeters! Also it’s probably in area, not length, so the numbers increase exponentially
I disagree. It really disproves the myth that they’re going after criminals only, that there isn’t racial profiling going on, or that they’re going off of targeted lists. Basically, it’s so bad it can be used to reduce support for ICE, and we need that right now.
How the fuck big is her desk?
Remember that this was even attempted next time we hear something about schools indoctrinating kids
