North South Dakota, Mountain Mama just doesn’t have the same ring to it.

Also, no oxygenation. It’ll be dead pretty soon.

Secede. That’ll teach 'em.

QED

You said it! Shifting right, right?!

There are tons of tons, believe it or not.

There’s the short ton (2000lbs), long ton (2240 lbs), and tonne (1000kgs) which are all measure weight. However there’s also the shipping/freight/ocean ton which is a measure of volume (which is also different in the US and UK), and the register ton.

However I did make a mistake. The wikipedia page I was reading said the weight in t and long tons. I made the mistake of assuming they meant short tons - in reality when measuring displacement for a ship, tonnes are used (which is pretty sensible, considering you’re displacing water and a liter of water to a kilogram of water have a pretty easy conversion formula formula…)

You think that’s crazy? The ship that blocked the Suez Canal, the Ever Given, has a ship displacement (how much water is displaced when it sits in the ocean) of 265,000 Tons.

That’s 240 million kilograms.

And that shit just floats on fucking water maaaaan…

Electing Trump (Nov 2016) the first time was the American equivalent of Brexit (June 2016).

Trump’s numbers didn’t stay the same. Despite winning the popular vote, Donald trump had 2 million less voters than in 2020. That’s a hefty chunk.

It just doesn’t matter, because 15 million other voters also didn’t show up.

I think it’s that this L forces the Democratic Party to lean back left with their campaign promises, and whatever power they have left to affect policy.

Yeah, that’s what everyone thought after 2016 as well.

Didn’t think I’d ever see Waleska on Lemmy… but, yeah. This is just the story all over North Georgia right? No one wanted to live in the mountains until all of the sudden you could work from anywhere. Now everyone earning city and suburb pay is happy to live an hour farther out than they were before.

Would be nice if he put his money where his mouth is. He’s 81 years old, but I bet he’s still gonna show up Tuesday.

Throughout his congressional campaign in 1974, Gingrich was having an affair with a young volunteer. An aide who worked with Gingrich throughout the 1970s stated that “it was common knowledge that Newt was involved with other women during his marriage to Jackie.”
…
In September 1980, according to friends who knew them both, Newt visited Jackie in the hospital the day after she had undergone surgery to treat her uterine cancer; once there, Newt began talking about the terms of their divorce, at which point Jackie threw him out of the room

In 1993, while still married to Marianne, Gingrich began an affair with House of Representatives staffer Callista Bisek, more than two decades his junior.[278] Gingrich was having this affair even as he led the impeachment of Bill Clinton for perjury related to Clinton’s own extramarital affair.[279][128] Gingrich filed for divorce from Marianne in 1999, a few months after she had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

My stepmother was doing her undergrad (and a few years later her law degree) from the University of West Georgia when he was a professor of history there and had started his first congressional campaign. She said literally every woman in school was aware of his affairs with students.

Moral decay in 2024? This is just yet another year of accusations fueled by projection from the right.

Of course not. It’s tungsten. Not steel.

And spicy chili peppers being associated with Chinese, Thai, or Indian food

And potatoes being associated with Ireland… or Russia…

Supposedly one of the main draws for fahrenheit is that common cold temperatures aren’t negative, so this doesn’t address that part.

Static IP on the windows machine in a jail’d subnet, if you still want to be able to access it from the LAN but don’t want it to have internet access.

If you’re happy with it not having any kind of network access (I’m not sure if when you say ‘locally’ you mean just physically, or it needs LAN as well), just disable the network adapter in windows.
