Most of the consumption excesses people on Lemmy condemn the US for, are enabled and facilitated by China. The entire “disposable crap” culture is only possible because of China and its cheap manufacturing base, and lesser standards of health, safety, environmental protection, etc.

Shit he can sell that thing for so many Bells

Good thing they bundled home and auto insurance

Drink water. Fix your shitty diet. Eat bananas or sweet potatoes or other sources of potassium. Take dietary magnesium supplements or use the topical magnesium stuff (like Theraworx foam) on your affected muscle groups before bed.

By doing the above, I went from frequently having calf cramps to never having calf cramps.

People don’t always budget for this stuff and fail to factor in that in some areas your property taxes and insurance can creep up and pretty soon your manageable mortgage payment becomes less manageable.

I get sick of relitigating the this argument, but there is a lot of flowery and outdated language in the founding documents, and in the context it is used there “well regulated” means “in good functioning order” or “of uniform quality”. It has nothing to do with government regulation as we might understand it today. Moreover if you read the Federalist Papers and other supporting documents it is clear that a government-regulated militia would be entirely contrary to the stated purpose, and makes no logical sense.

The framers wanted dispersed concentrations of local armed groups, with near force parity with any federal infantry or potential foreign adversary. They were extremely suspicious of standing armies.

Well the good news for progressives is you’ll likely see Thomas and maybe Alito retire during Trump’s next term. The bad news is they’ll be replaced by 35-year-old strict-constructionist Constitutional conservatives.

The House isn’t stuck with that though. They can amend the rules for the next session, and I’d imagine any speaker worth his salt would demand that rule be stricken because it is unworkable.

I saw this as a kid and completely forgot it had both Tim Curry and Laura Linney in it.

He’s Teflon Don. He will literally never do a day of jailtime.

If they are going to ram through protectionist type tarrifs and similar laws they should just make it federal law that US Pharma companies legally can’t sell drugs to any other nations health system for a penny less than what they charge any uninsured US citizen. We currently are in effect subsidizing systems like Canada or Britain’s NHS. The companies use our framework to develop and bring drugs to market, charge the US citizen (or their Rx plan) full freight while other systems get a negotiated lower price. Canadians and Brits should be defraying the development cost of expensive drugs by the US, rather than simply benefiting from them.

Eventually people come to the surprising realization that their best product was actually the Zune.

That dude searching for his bitcoin hard drive will appreciate your consideration

This is how all military branches have always pressured Congress for more budget. They give a public disquisition with doomsday scenarios about our rivals/adversaries so the public will see the press coverage and call their Congressional reps to demand the military gets built up.

I think this game had the misfortune of launching right before OoT. It became a footnote after that because anyone with an N64 was understandably distracted by Zelda.

This could be a blessing in disguise… My main purpose would be to avoid Apple-style “client side scanning” which, in the hands of vertically-integrated Google hardware and software, amounts to exposing yourself to constant and on-demand warrantless searches.

Since there is no transparency into the hardware backdoors, the internal workings of the close sourced Google ROM, or the business agreement to cooperate with LE / intelligence agencies, bare minimum is to run an alternative OS that complicates their efforts to undermine user privacy. Hobbled AI features on the chip itself might actually be another safeguard, depending on how it is implemented.

You’re implying that one candidate has a super secret big lead not reflected in polling.

Who? And why do you think that?

No shame in it. Teri Garr was both hilarious and hot in that movie.

Not a lawyer but I believe in the US this would be legal as you are granting the use of the original license and not duplicating any content for simultaneous use by others.

What I would like to see is a gentlemans agreement of sorts where companies agree not to come after people for playing pirate, emulated or archival copies of games that are decades old and not for sale in any format anymore. I guess this is somewhat encompassed in the framework of “Abandonware”.

You almost have to wonder about the longer term here. In some ways Repubs would probably be satisfied with a stalemate situation where Harris wins but they control the Senate and/or House. She will be a garbage President who produces 4 years of gaffes while they stymie her agenda in Congress. Then she is very beatable after the first term and they can run somebody else who has a shot of setting up an 8 year presidency instead of the max of 4 that Trump can get.
