Kenneth Smith ‘struggled for life’ for 22 minutes in Alabama nitrogen gas execution: Updates
  • He wasn't a brutal killer, he was hired to kill someone and did it out of greed. That's actually not brutality. Brutality would be someone raping someone and then killing them for glee. The state in this case is doing this out of brutality, they are doing it because it brings enjoyment and their method of execution is quite brutal.

    Kenneth Smith ‘struggled for life’ for 22 minutes in Alabama nitrogen gas execution: Updates
  • That's false spin. Nitrogen air is just regular air minus oxygen, 78% of the air you breathe is nitrogen. He was suffocated to death simply put, he died of hypoxia. It would be like someone getting shot, but then taking 5-8 minutes to slowly die minus the immediate burning pain of a gun shot or sudden drop in consciousness from immediate/fast bleed out.

  • He only killed one person too. Seems he killed the wrong person, maybe someone with power/connections. It makes no sense how he gets the death penalty but other murders don't.

    Attorney General Merrick Garland says there should be ‘speedy trial’ of Trump as 2024 election looms
  • So he admits openly that this isn't about justice, but about politics. As long as you have people in key areas of the government politically persecuting someone as high a former and likely future president, people will yearn for a populist president like Trump.

    Biden says he is forgiving $5 billion in student debt for another 74,000 Americans
  • I went to school, paid attention, picked the relevant major to my interests, and paid off my debt. Just because others partied or made decisions doesn't mean they shouldn't have to pay their debts while those who worked hard pay it for them.

    These were like 50 bucks a year ago
  • Those pitbulls would attack you dog. Either dumb or just don't care. I don't care if this offends you, for the sake of animal safety you need to hear it.

  • I'm thinking of switching my thumb keys (currently space and enter and two of them go to a symbols layer) to shift. I find that shift makes me anxious when typing because i have to partially leave the home row, and as a result my pinky placement when typing is bad, my ring finger tends to take over and my pinky has become a mod presser and not a typing finger.

    I have tried to overload the home row keys as modifiers but that is a huge mistake as it causes misfires or takes TOO LONG to aviate, there is no middle ground with that one.

    Lemmy.world starting guide
  • As someone who used voat for awhiel here are my tips:

    1. USE this platform, don't use reddit. USE this platform and give it content. Content is basically the same as oxygen you can't deprive it, POST often and comment OFTEN.
    2. Don't dwell on reddit too much. Voat's only active communities were about shit posting on reddit (they had a /v/MeanwhileOnReddit and a few banned communities and that was it, nobody used any other communities). Find your favorite community and build it. Build just 1 ideally, anymore is too thin. I am building up https://lemmy.world/c/frugal

    Bought a bread Bread Machine, use it almost daily
  • Do thrift stores still have good deals. I heard you could buy a bread maker there for like 8 bucks. But that was years ago. From what I heard they are all almost as expensive as Walmart or just out of stock for things like kitchen gadgets.

  • Bought a bread Bread Machine, use it almost daily

    Bought it to save on sandwich bread, was 53 from best buy, originally 150 their site said. Now I just make bread every day. Then I started putting Vegemite on it and am addicted to that. Also Vegemite plus avocado toast is insanely good and cheap for the calories. Also good nutritional value.

    I can speed make it in the morning with good preparation hacks. I use mason jars with all the dry ingredients ready to go in a drawer, and I use a digital scale to make adding flour fast and accurate.
