Link was paywalled for me and I could not make sense of the posted excerpt.

Ballotpedia link

Tldr the measure bundles citizenship language (change from "all" citizens to "only" citizens can vote) and a RCV ban - among other things - into one constitutional amendment.

Seems to me like a white label system. Like all the bullshit copypasta Amazon brands, or home appliances like dehumidifiers.

Mocha Joe! I fucking knew it! Cold coffee and cakey scones!

Kids need to use their bootstraps. I grew up on welfare, nobody gave me any handouts.

(Yes that was a real comment from a dumb fuck relative on Facebook)

Just because I was curious: I counted 23 R, 22 D, 1 I. That might be off by one or two but I was surprised (well maybe not really) how evenly split it was

This stuff about the price reductions after 4 years of blatant gouging is really freaking me out

I mean, that’s 4 years of our lives taken! 4 years of opportunities that were more challenging because they wanted a number on a computer to go up! 4 years of feeling worse than necessary about my finances and management of them and general personhood because i felt like i couldn’t afford anything because everything was...

Except...they didn't keep up that same rate? M2 ij Jan 2020 was about 15.4 trillion, in April 2024 it was 20.9 trillion. So 26% of M2 supply was created since 2020, not 80%, not 95%.

I'm in his district, I'll see what I can do

Yes

Are there any EV cars without any "technology"?

Like the title says, are there any EVs that just have a Bluetooth radio and that's it? Like a normal car, not a smartphone on wheels? If not, do you all think that this will actually happen at some point? This is the main reason why I can't (and will never) buy an EV. I like to have actual buttons everywhere on my car. I think...

lemmyman ,

"Tech" is a conflated term. The way I read OP is that they don't want their cars main user interface to be a smartphone app. Doesn't mean the car can't be technologically advanced.

Personally, my brain manages to filter out anything with a leading underscore (I don't know the origin offhand, I think some system I worked with at some point used those on files that I knew I didn't care about). So when coworkers use leading underscores it slows me down a bit.

It does work though

Tangential, but Blind Guardian has one

lemmyman ,

Hmm my brain initially read this as "I kink shame all republicans" and...it kinda works?

lemmyman ,

I'm lacking context or something because I don't understand why that is so significant.

Yes this is absurd, but it's a (serious) scientific community issue, not a search engine issue.

Guy who doesn’t question why ‘completed’ flat pack has a bunch of ‘extra’ parts, recently hired as Boeing engineer ( chaser.com.au )

Local self-declared handyman James Davidson has been offered a job as a Boeing engineer after his amazing work attempting to put a flat-pack cupboard together and just assuming that the many left over parts are just the extra pieces they add sometimes.

lemmyman ,

You're hired!

I was thinking maybe donut-shaped

Napoleon doesn't like it but he needs to hear it

Now the engineers and/or scientists are crying

lemmyman ,

What's a reasonable approach to this?

Standardize portion size, and disallow any change in packaging volume/weight? How can this be reasonably defined?

Ban price increases, presumably on a weight basis?

I was into Ayn Rand in high school and in retrospect I guess I'd say that, given the things I thought were important, I was rational. But certainly my values weren't quite...I dunno...human?

They did fail, but then succeeded in impeachment. For no actual reason.

I get so frustrated when an article introduces a new term, says what somebody thinks about it, then goes off on some tangent before finally describing the issue at hand two thirds of the way through the article.

Signature matching is supposedly a way to prevent fraud, in which a voter’s signature on a ballot, or in this case petition, is confirmed to correspond with a signature from the same voter registered in the state’s database. But it has been criticized widely as a method of voter suppression.

Many lemmy users outside the US dislike communities that are "US by default." This is Politics, not USPolitics, but its generally about just the US.

Eat the judges?

Suppose They Threw a Cage Match Between Fascism and Democracy and Nobody Cared ( slate.com )

What if the media is actually covering the spectacle precisely because the stakes—casual brutality, violence, callousness, lawlessness, and the descent into anarchy—are perfectly visible, legible, and clear? It’s hard to read any other way the current threats by sitting senators who promise to beat up committee witnesses,...

lemmyman ,

I don't really get the point of this type of comment. Used in bad faith, it clearly is meant to detail the conversation and sideline the point of the article that was posted. In good faith, maybe venting? What am I missing?

lemmyman ,

FYI the photo you're referring to is of NY Attorney General Letitia James, not the judge. She looks black because she's black.

Some dry lubes (graphite) are electrically conductive. So are some wet ones for that matter. Something to watch out for.
