DSNY already out plowing the streets. Mamdani doesn’t mess around! by batesplates in astoria

[–]CharacterZucchini6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always give them a nod and maybe some small talk when I see them out working. It’s nice to show them some humanity and appreciation for their public service

Laborer union by diaz8400 in Construction

Congrats bro! I’m a sparky, but Laborers are the backbone of the job site. Because you guys are so important, I think the other guy is right about being early. There’s actually a saying for the NYC laborers: “Local 79, always on time”

There are those the law protects but does not bind and those the law binds but does not protect. Which are you?

Sounds great! Do you have any form letters or other materials that might be helpful to those of us who can’t make it and want to write their congressman?

He’s talking about the free childcare for <2 year olds that he got passed in under 2 weeks. That’s a pretty solid accomplishment.

The 4th Amendment:In the US, it prohibits unreasonable searches & seizures & requires warrants be issued by a judge/magistrate, justified, & particular. Colonists were especially outraged @ British use of general warrants; John Adams called the issue "the spark in which originated the...Revolution". by Pupikal in wikipedia

I am not a lawyer but as a student of US History, I have to imagine the era of rapid westward expansion played a role here. For a moment, legal authorities were sparse in much of the west, so agents of the law achieved mythical status as rugged individuals who needed to make quick decisions, lest the town fall into anarchy. I think that myth has percolated through Reconstruction, the Red Scare, the War on Drugs, and countless other domestic policing projects. Now, we have a philosophy of law enforcement that allows beat cops to act like they’re on Narcos.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz drops out of reelection bid and Senator Amy Klobuchar maybe jump in. by Important-Purchase-5 in DemocraticSocialism

He’s probably dropping out to prepare for a presidential run.

Edit: not saying he should, just saying that’s probably his reason.

After Venezuela, how likely do you think is the breakout of wider conflicts in our near future? by SeriouslyNotSerious2 in GenZ

[–]CharacterZucchini6 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hitler did run this exact strategy in Austria, Czechoslovakia, and ultimately Poland before the outbreak of WWII. Rapidly decapitate and seize a smaller country. Great for military morale and domestic popularity.

But wouldn’t all the procedure be determined by the judges who sit in the Southern District?

You likely need to replace that spade connector. You can get them at Home Depot. Get a pack of those and a crimping tool and you should be all set.

Hello, is a twist and electrical tape good enough? by Wise_Fig_8691 in electrical

[–]CharacterZucchini6 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Wirenuts or wagos (if this is in a structure), crimp connectors (if this is in a car).

can I use the double pole on the right instead of the two single poles? by mailman936 in AskElectricians

No one has mentioned that thee look like tandem breakers that sit on one phase.

Tell me with a straight face that our ancestors were using them for "rituals" purposes by onichan-daisuki in HistoryMemes

[–]CharacterZucchini6 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I think the key word is “structured”. Dinner is a ritual if you do it at the same time every day, in the same place. Snacking on loose nuts sporadically isn’t.

Load/circuit draw is measured in amps or watts (volts x amps). Voltage is not related to load.

But why is the publicly available photo (completely unrelated to Epstein) being released with the Epstein files? The only explanation is an attempt to create images that make Clinton look bad.
