- Comment on Can Trump still run for president now that he's a convicted felon? 6 months ago:
Nope. New York law is that felons are only kept from voting while incarcerated. And since FL law refers to the other States for their residents, Trump will be able to vote for himself, unless he is behind bars.
- Comment on He came with receipts 6 months ago:
Many instances defederate lemmynsfw.com and some also block all NSFW content.
There is porn, but to see it, you might have to create another account on a nsfw-friendly instance.
- Comment on He came with receipts 6 months ago:
Yeah, he’s just trying to be dissmissive.
- Comment on "there is little incentive not to use it" 6 months ago:
Having talked about this same questiom with a family member who was in the field of nuclear engineering, what he told me basically boiled down to this:
It is fairly accurate, but not actually as detailed as it seems. There are several major obstacles that variously will stump you, get you killed, and/or put you on the radar of a national security apparatus.
But yeah, although not exactly “easy,” the basics apparently aren’t that complicated to work out if you know the science.
- Comment on Implications 6 months ago:
I’ve never read much Fritz Leiber, but he’s a major influence of Zelazny (and on Butcher, Donaldson, Stephenson, etc.)
Maybe today’s the day I dig up and read Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser.

… yes? Did you not read your own link? There are several definitions of “species” offered.
- Comment on Galois 6 months ago:
He woke up and chose violence
- Comment on Cannabis 6 months ago:
MFW a mofo pretends there is a universally accepted definition of “species.”

I just blue myself.

Most people didnt know that boofing was actually invented by archaeologists researching Pompeii.
- Comment on Why are people talking about flying a flag upside-down? 7 months ago:
Flying a flag upside down has been a sign of distress since forever. And it has been used politically for ages.

Mitochondria are matrilineal.
- Comment on How an Obscure US Agency Became a Linchpin for Climate Policy | The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission voted 2-to-1 in a partisan split on Monday on a new rule that could help speed up wind & solar 7 months ago:
FERC is obscure? Not that I expect they’re a household name, but certainly they are well known throughout the ($488M/yr) energy sector. People really need to pay more attention to what their government does.
- Comment on J.D. Vance, in the Mix to Be Trump’s Running Mate, Denounces Witness 7 months ago:
Nah, I don’t have to wonder that at all. It’s clearly fictitious. These guys are all full of shit and it is so obvious that the only thing I have to wonder is:
How the hell is anyone fooled by these bafoonish charlatans?
I guess it is attributable the wizard’s first rule, but still it continues to baffle me how anyone takes them seriously.

Can we get a Pondarosa pine up in here?

To be fair, they really originated elsewhere, but Germany certainly has cockroaches. I think Germany is probably too cold for them to be a big problem, though.
- Comment on 2x2 lumber at Home Depot is now 1.28x1.28. Nominal size is supposed to be 1.5 7 months ago:
That green tint means it is pressure treated. Just take it back (this time bring a tape measure.)
- Comment on [Serious] Any high-quality right-wing media, books, explainers? 7 months ago:
Going to Lemmy and asking this is like going to Truth.Social and asking about recources for helping trans teens.
- Comment on Two Men Are Charged Over the Felling of the Sycamore Gap Tree 7 months ago:
Its not every day tree law intersects with criminal law. Or maybe it is, I’m not a law-ologist
- Comment on statistics 7 months ago:
This is a correlary to one my bio prof always stated:
If you can’t do it twice, you didnt do it once.

A lot of these are actually non-venomous, but I can see which species you mistook them for. If you pause the crane for a sec I can give you some ID pointers for next time!
- Comment on I just heard about Brazilian Butt Lifts which is a procedure where they take fat deposits from somewhere on your body and place it in your butt? 7 months ago:
The fat cells behave the same as before they were transferred. The number of fat cells mostly stays the same when you lose weight, just depsc1eassleting the fat reserves within the them. So yeah, you’d mostly re-gain it in the same cells.

From the peroxide-peroxide article:
Instead of being locked in a self-storage unit with two rabid wolverines, why not three? Instead of having two liters of pyridine poured down your trousers, why not three? And so on - it’s a liberating thought. It’s true that adding more oxygen-oxygen bonds to a compound will eventually liberate the tiles from your floor and your windows from their frames, but that comes with the territory.
I’m in tears from this stuff and I know fuckall about chemistry.
- Comment on Mini PC with Intel N100 and 6 x 2 5 GbE LAN ports 8 months ago:
The website title isnt “25” it is “2 5”. Note the whitespace. To me, that implies the title got mangled somewhere along the line, removing the point.
Hanlon’s razor would imply they are just incompetent.
- Comment on Biden Administration Approves Expansion of Background Checks on Gun Sales 8 months ago:
Your impression is incorrect. Under current US law, individuals selling a firearm to another individual within their home state do not currently require an FFL, nor a background check.
