I've been meaning to watch that one.

We should only allow the people who don't want to be in politics to be in politics lol

Looks around, visibly confused Are the "rules that govern the people making the rules" here in the room with us right now?

As much as I respect her and her life's work, I'm still pissed she didn't retire when she couldn't been replaced by a decent judge. But I guess everyone who is established and in power is above giving a shit about peons. She could've saved Roe v Wade and whatever other nightmares are coming from the corrupt lunatic fringe in the SCOTUS.

RIP and condolences to the family. But yeah I agree. ll the seats need that. We need regular, young, honest, decent people running for office and tossing out the out of touch fossils that have sold out to too many favors and donations from giant corpos and billionaires.

"Might as well use curl | sudo bash" omg I'm ded 💀

Ok well 2001 was kind of an outlier... you're not wrong. It was slow when I watched it in the 90s lol.

But, watch something like The Maltese Falcon. Which I did recently.

I had no issue following. It didn't plod along in my view (of course I'm middle aged and don't do tiktok). But it also wasn't rapid fire constant clamor. There was space to absorb and reflect as the story evolved. And you need that space because it's mentally challenging.

One thing that hit hard is how it is a good, interesting story above all else. Definitely gives theater vibes and made me realize how hollow a lot of movies are.

Anyway. There are lots of examples from the 60s and 70s that are slower paced and a lot less busy and chaotic than modern films for sure.

I can't say

Use of lethal force is a positive defense for homicide in all US states when one is under imminent threat of serious bodily injury and I am pretty sure rape falls under that. This law comes from common law so I wonder if India also inherited this from England?

Same. Always makes my day a little better to see this in my feed.

Nice

Idk. How many teen boys has that tree survived until now? Maybe the kid has other issues going on, shitty parents, or who knows what.

Just for the record..

Democrats in the state legislature passed a bill in 2022 guaranteeing abortion access in state law. But that measure could be overturned or undermined by a simple majority vote in the General Assembly, or by the passage of a statutory ballot measure, which also only requires a simple majority to pass.

Initiatives 89 and 90 would go a step further by putting the nearly unfettered right to get an abortion in Colorado in the state’s constitution, which could only be overturned by a 55% vote of the people. Getting a constitutional amendment on the ballot itself is also immensely difficult.

My main uses for them weren't ever desktop but tinkering with simple robotics / telepresence, automation, aprs / mapping, 3d printing (octoprint). Seems like the 5 is overkill for that. I guess there's always the pi zero.

For all of us bitter people who couldn't get an RPi 3 let alone 4 for less than a fortune during the recent dark times...

We’d like to thank you: we’re going to ringfence all of the Raspberry Pi 5s we sell until at least the end of the year for single-unit sales to individuals, so you get the first bite of the cherry.

So I will probably preorder one because why not.

I guess because it's a cheap way to do embedded computing? Idk.

Indeed; my bad. Hadn't had my ☕ yet I guess lol

Aw man, all we have near us is IKEA.
