Geodad@beehaw.orgto Politics@beehaw.org•Real paper ballots are a must: N.Y. needs to get rid of touchscreen voting machines1·23 小时前The major hurdle to that here are Republicans and their corporate masters.
We really need to heavily regulate corporations and apply a heavy tax on them. We also need to get rid of the Citizens United ruling, which basically lets them pump unlimited money into the political process.
Geodad@beehaw.orgto Politics@beehaw.org•Real paper ballots are a must: N.Y. needs to get rid of touchscreen voting machines1·1 天前The US is a whole lot bigger than Germany though. Each state administers their own election also. There’s no unified system or framework that they all have to follow, and if one was attempted to be forced upon them, they’d cry “states rights” and challenge it in court.
This country truly is due for a reset.

That’s every day that ends in a “y”.
There are as many Autistic people as there have always been. The only thing is that we have become better at screening and categorizing them.
There has always been that person who was all about trains, and could tell you anything about any train from memory. There have always been “Lennys” who have been caught up in the prison system or worse. Now we just know that they are/were autistic.

I love giving old hardware a new life.
Once I’ve finished tinkering, and if it’s fully functional, I give them to poor families who can’t afford to buy a laptop for their kids.
Sadly, there are a lot of those here in Appalachia.

make Debian servers out ofrecycle your old intel Macs for you! Just pay to ship them to me. 🥰
They’ll just pretend like they don’t know each other when they cross paths at divorce court - just like they do at the liquor store.

opsinsoptions, and some EM sense like what birds haveThat’s possible, but our brains haven’t evolved to interpret anything outside of the visible spectrum.
Hypothetically, we could guide human evolution by introducing such tech into newborn babies for several generations.

People often don’t know - because water autoionizes, it is both an acid and a base. This is why so many things can readily dissolve in it.
Geodad@beehaw.orgto Science@beehaw.org•Scientist Dissolves Soda Can To Reveal A Thin Plastic Liner Inside2·4 天前I miss glass bottles of coke.
They’re still available, but mainstream supermarkets don’t tend to carry them as much.
I can’t touch sugar alcohols.
If I even look at them, I’ll spend the next week on the toilet.
I have to avoid a lot of the low fat/low carb foods because they use this. Also almost anything sweetened with monkfruit has this in it.
