I didn’t have this on my 2023 bingo card.

Henry Kissenger turned 100 this year. Make of that what you will.

Don’t all employees of the federal government get back pay for the days they would have been working?

This issue has been framed as a national security issue before and branded as “energy independence”.

And then it turns out that it’s especially bad for minorities due to whatever specific situation the story is about.

The first Catholic elected as President of the United States was assassinated, and no one said shit about Biden being the second Catholic to be elected as President. There were articles about Kamala Harris being elected Vice-President though. That was noteworthy because she’s a woman and she’s a person of color. Visibility is a huge factor in these stories.

who exactly is trying to correct the injustices?

NAACP? BLM?

Recording people in public’s one thing if you have your phone out and are waving it around pointing it at people, but it’s a whole other thing if it’s a concealed or otherwise hidden recording device.

What about security cameras? Cameras on cars? What kind of notification should be required?

30mag ,

I have not, but I will do that. Thanks.

In other news, the USA has suddenly become very concerned about the damage done to the environment by the practice of harvesting shark fins.

30mag ,

Are they making the internet a utility?

I don’t know about other people, but I wasn’t asked where I would like to be born.

Dems have a majority of 51 (3 “independent”), there are 49 Republicans.

Unprepared people live to regret being unprepared. In my view, this has little to do with what they happen to be driving.

A new model suggests that in 250 million years

Great, I’ll mark that on my calendar.

Obviously something unexpected could happen that blindsides the Party, but it looks like politics is in command and everything is proceeding as expected.

I take it you didn’t read the article.

A former Chinese government official said the country’s entire population of 1.4 billion wouldn’t be enough to fill all of its empty houses, Reuters reported, citing a video from the state news agency China News Service. **China’s real-estate struggles rose to prominence in 2021, when industry giant Evergrande became the most indebted company in the world and defaulted.**At the time, there were at least 65 million vacant properties in the country, which would have been enough to house the entire population of France, Insider previously reported.

To me, this seems wasteful. I’m not very familiar with the Chinese real estate market however.

30mag ,

This might be overkill:

At the time, there were at least 65 million vacant properties in the country, which would have been enough to house the entire population of France, Insider previously reported.

30mag ,

That doesn’t actually mean there are 65 million surplus properties. A vacant house isn’t an unnecessary house.

That is a very good point. I still find it hard to believe that they are making the best use of labor and materials with situations like this:

Ordos, near the border with Mongolia, was meant to hold over 1 million people and become a cultural and economic hub. But by 2016, its population was only around 100,000, and it has been described as “the largest ghost town in the world.”

30mag ,

Sure. The point I was trying to make is that society might be better served by allocating resources to building hospitals or schools or something the community needs instead of housing that the community does not necessarily need because there is already a surplus of housing.

30mag ,

China isn’t really limited by construction resources.

Maybe they aren’t running out of concrete and steel, but they are taking out loans for these construction projects.

Hutchinson also testified that she had heard a secondhand account that Trump was so enraged at his Secret Service detail for blocking him from going to the Capitol on January 6 that he lunged to the front of his presidential limo and tried to turn the wheel.
Secret Service agent Bobby Engel, whom Hutchinson said witnessed the incident, and then-White House deputy chief of staff Tony Ornato, whom she said she heard the story from, have both said they don’t remember it.

That is weird.

30mag ,

I wouldn’t worry about her, I heard she has had her hands full.

Them goat herders in Afghanistan made a pretty good effort.

The Taliban are back in power in Afghanistan, aren’t they?

In case you hadn’t heard, the state of Texas actually passed a law because this particular school district, Barbers Hill, is run by a bunch of assholes.

The firm has also claimed that there is evidence to suggest that the app is an illegal pyramid scheme, with members being charged $49.99 a month to join.

I wish this was explained a little more.

Ok, thanks

The DOJ seems increasingly concerned that blocking public access to key facts in the trial establishing Google’s alleged monopoly might hurt its case.

That doesn’t make sense to me.

30mag ,

Does that have an impact on the outcome of the trial? Do they just want to sway public opinion for the purpose of future prosecution?

30mag ,

You only need one shitty device that has “30 to 50 steps” to say “getting users to switch from Google was complicated, requiring as many as 30 to 50 steps”.

30mag ,

I would guess that it involves rooting the device or flashing a custom ROM but I don’t know for certain.

The general rule for determining the length of shorts, skirts and dresses (including slits on dresses and skirts) will be that they must be worn at the waist line and extend below the index finger at the shortest point of the garment.

Probably not, but they do allow religious exemptions.

The principal may grant an exemption to any of the above provisions if a student has a disability or medical condition rendering compliance with the provisions detrimental to the student’s physical health or if a student requests and is approved for a religious exemption. A student who wishes to receive a disability or religious exemption from the dress code must complete and submit the dress code exemption form, which is available on each campus and on the District website.

tl;dr: Government is still spying on everyone.

So, these guys thought that this move would be bad for the company, so they sold off stock. It’s crooked, but I understand that.

I don’t understand why you would move forward with the change in dev fees or whatever if you think it is going to be bad for the business.

30mag ,

I don’t think this is good for the short-term, or these guys wouldn’t be dumping stock.

the efficiency of the US healthcare system in comparison to Canada’s is INCREDIBLY overstated

I’ve heard that the lines to see specialists in the United States are shorter, but never heard the system characterized as being more efficient.

It also looks like the author doesn’t know the difference between sonar and radar.

Is there a way to convert radiation from atomic decay into energy directly, the same way we do sunlight with a solar cell? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Couldn’t we have a lead box lined with these radiation to electricity converters with a small amount of radioactive material in the center, and have an energy generating device that would last for thousands or even millions of years? Imagine putting the sun in a box lined with solar cells, but on a much smaller scale....

30mag ,

Wilco

30mag ,

Where is the center?

30mag ,

I am sorry. You’ll have to choose from the options provided. Please choose either nazi or super nazi.

30mag ,

Can we do anything to help with that?

30mag ,

Besides contributing actual code…

Maybe I can do that.

30mag ,

Unfortunately, behind the scenes, Lemmy sucks and is severely lacking in moderation tools to deal with spammers, trolls and sick people who post illegal content.

Maybe this is a silly question, but what sort of tools would be useful?

Do other websites have tools for this sort of thing that are effective?

30mag ,

Thanks
