No, it really doesn't. I expect Obama, W, and Biden were all kind people.

Either way, it certainly wasn't a Democratic administration pushing for them to be unbanned.

All you need is one instance to actually verify its users.

https://nytimes.social seems like a good one. Maybe they should start that.

I feel betrayed that a democrat administration pushed to repeal that ban.

I guess you can feel a little less betrayed.

Today, the Supreme Court (SCOTUS) ruled 6-3 under its conservative supermajority that a bump stock attachment does not convert a semiautomatic rifle into a machine gun, which is prohibited under federal law. Under this decision, civilians now have access to bump stocks again.

And the only reason he can be retried is that not all jurors agreed. Had they just refused to enforce the law, then they walk free forever (at least from that crime).

Well, yes. But I meant for medical purposes, not judicial.

They evacuated schools today, by the way. Bomb threats. Parents had to pick up their kids at a different school.

I'm probably doing solar in spring, and I'm paying 20 cents per kwh. It's about a 13 year breakeven time, but that works for my circumstances. I plan to be here for awhile, my roof faces the right way, and it's a reasonable diversification of investment.

I'll still have some dependence on the grid, especially in winter. Might pull from the grid in some early morning hours, but net metering credits should pay for that.

I consider the rising price of electricity and the capital gains from an index funds roughly a wash. It's not, but I also don't want 100% of my investments in the stock market, and it's nice to do something responsible for the world.

So make sure to do your whole installation in one year. You only get to claim the 30% federal tax credit once. So don't go small with a plan to go bigger later. I couldn't do this without the federal credit.

It's just name squatting. They're nearly all 0 posts.

It's actually really valuable. It can be a great alternative to a tracheotomy.

I don't know if this is in practice yet, but I've heard of it in recent years.

Delicious. (I'm in Ohio.)

She says 9/11 was an inside job, so Trump invited her to the 9/11 memorial this week.

It's almost like they have an agenda.

Kessler Syndrome trumps this application of Moore's Law.

Probably not worth it in the electoral sense, but you know what? I'd rather have a human than a robot calculating the electoral effect of every interaction he has with another person.

This wasn't strategic. It was just human.

Also it wasn't a "unity gesture". It was a funny moment for the people in the room and/or was intended to make the Trump convert more comfortable.

Either way, it was absolutely fine in context. The only concern is how it could be taken out of context, and fuck that. I'm tired of walking a tightrope worrying about what Fox News might say.

If it was a "unity gesture", it was for that one guy. It wasn't for the Fox News audience.

I'll have to try to get a picture from the YouTube ad next time I see it. It doesn't seem real. It's two shirtless kids with giant line scars from armpit to armpit. I don't think there's any legitimate surgery that creates scars like that.

Oh no. Are we forever to dance around the next moronic thing they decide to turn into propaganda? I hope you don't have a cat.

Well, this one is real

Bush attacked a country that had nothing to do with the event
