Tell that to the squirrels that used to be in my backyard

Sort of unrelated but I always like to point out that the fatality rate for active duty police in the US is only around 12 per 100,000, so it’s more dangerous to be pregnant than to be a cop

I wonder if this correlates to an underlying trauma experienced by right-wing style preppers who are all convinced they can recreate civilization on their own in their back yards

Happy to. It’s a protest, not a general strike. General strikes can’t happen without massive community organizing, union support, mutual aid, etc. which are all things that are basically 100% absent in the United States

Eisenhower orchestrated the 1953 Iranian coup, overthrowing a democratically elected government, and installed an authoritarian, US-backed puppet. He also overthrew the democratically elected government of Guatemala at the behest of a banana company (United Fruit, now Chiquita).

Every new Republican advances the evil, because it’s never punished.

A strike with an end date is not a strike

Best we can do is a government bailout

Not OP but I bought a 45" LG UltraGear gaming “monitor” a while back that’s basically just a TV, no smart anything etc. Right now the only ones I see after a quick search are curved though, mine is flat.

One of my favorite subreddits back when posting photoshopped pictures of birds with arms was all the rage was /r/notbirdswitharms which was a sub where you couldn’t not just post birds with arms, you couldn’t post anything that wasn’t a sandwich

Most states don’t require a permit to concealed carry (but they do in MN)

I won’t vote for a centrist in the primary but I also won’t abstain or vote third party in the general.

Vote your conscience in the primary, harm reduction in the general

I always wanted New England to join Canada and be part of the Maritimes so that the time zone would make more sense. And so New Englanders could get healthcare that wasn’t tied to employment

Danish can be a bit hard to understand

You mean RFK Jr didn’t have any medbeds for such an influential figure? Color me surprised

He was flirting with holocaust denial decades ago, was a Trump supporter from the beginning, became more and more of a generic unhinged conspiracy theorist following that, and yes as you noted was a pretty blatant racist. Sprinkle some misogyny in there for good measure as well.

Behind the Bastards has some good episodes about him

Without a way of knowing which satellite passing overhead was the ISS, in the narrow windows each day where you could see them well enough to correctly point a Yagi at one, you’d quickly run out of battery before making a relevant contact. Also the people on the ISS rarely listen or respond, the most used ham equipment on the ISS is basically a glorified repeater so you’d also have to get above the pileup of all the satellite chasers just trying to log contacts.

JS8Call and FT8 are digital modes that don’t require talking. Plenty of other things to do as well

It’s largely because Russia and China are building their gold reserves to decrease reliance on the US dollar. More demand means higher prices. Other investors are moving away from US treasuries and towards gold as the US deficit continues to grow.

Why are we inflating dimensions? 3D chess was already challenging for the smartest Federation citizens, so 4D chess is already well beyond that of future sci-fi. Do we really need a fifth D? When will it end!?
