He appears to be unaware that Russia is a neighbour to the US.

The IBM 503, the last valve computer, that Cobol and Fortran, the first languages were developed on, had 20 bit words.

So an 80 column card could fit 4 words across. Thats why teletypes and terminals had 80 coulmns of text - so they were the same size as punch cards.

Fortran only used 72 columns, so the last 8 were unused.

It seems weird, but on early computers bytes were not based on multiples of 8 or 4 (like 8 but, 16 bit, 32 bit etc). Some computers had 15, 10, 7, 25, even 50 bit words.

The govt is in the process of deporting 18 million illegal workers, that's gonna drive inflation through the roof.

Then Trump will order the Fed Reserve to lower interest rates (like Erdogan did in Turkey). Inflation will go nuts.

Wild times ahead.

Medicaid and Medicare are adminsitered by the states but receive the bulk of their funding from the federal govt. The Democrat states will continue to run these programs but the Republican states will abandon Medicaid and privatise Medicare.

They can't attack the govt so they'll attack their supporters. If you're foreign, it might be a good idea to keep away from the US for a while.

It sounds like they're getting ready for age verification, which will be mandated in some countries this year.

There are quite a few subreddits that require vast amounts of karma points (like 12,000) to reply, and there are heaps that require high karma points to post, meaning you have to effectively buy them.

That directive said the commission will be made up of cabinet members and other officials from the administration

People like MGT in other words. Not to worry.

China is getting its smallpox vaccine out of storage - "give us Taiwan or the round-eyed devils get it !"

Relax, he's just a brain damaged heroin addict with barely the ability to speak, how bad could it be ?

Who the hell would be interested ?

Bic lighters are made in France. 25% is peanuts to them, they get much higher tariffs in south america.

In a 2020 post, Lemmy's co-creator Dessalines wrote about the origin of the name Lemmy. "It was nameless for a long time, but I wanted to keep with the fediverse tradition of naming projects after animals.

Commonwealth countries have a cabinet system of govt.

Minsters are selected by the cabinet from members of parliament. Departments are closed, opened and altered all the time when there is a ministerial reshuffle ordered by the cabinet.

Any minister could run this sort of operation in their department without palrliamentary approval, and the cabinet could do so for the whole govt (and frequently do).

The US has a presidential form of govt. The presidental office is separate from the parliament. Minsters are appointed by the president and must not be members of parliament.

But the president can't just choose anyone - they must be members of their political party and they must be elected through a series of member elections and state executive decisions.

The issue here is not that DOGE cannot operate under a minister, its that the president cannot order a political outsider to undertake the duties of a minister properly elected through party processes.

BTW, no such limitaion exists in France - the French president can appoint anyone as minister, they don't even need to be a French citizen or a residnet in France ! Macron attempted to do this recently but had to back down when the parliament blocked money bills.

Mate, the orange halfwit has just flooded a huge number of farms in California. They're still gonna vote for him.

Everything is a turbo now which is “more efficient” but there is no way they will last as long as the naturally aspirated V6 or V8s that would go for 400-500k miles.

You do know that turbocharged engines don't rev as much don't you ? They last longer.

A 1.8L NA Atsra put out 92 kW at 6000 rpm. The 1.6L turbo version put out 134kW at 2800 rpm.

I wouldn't say it was a failure.

It sold quite well considering its price.

The original specifications and price were never going to be met,

Gold caps (teeth) painted with white enamel was the method of choice in the past.

They jumped into the pot.

Laws introduced to prevent people from boycotting israeli companies allow Musk to sueanyone who won't advertise on X for political reasons.

And no, the first amendment doesn't protect speech for private companies.

He'll win.
