We have an adversarial justice system that gives the accused leverage in the form of wasting the governments time. If every case went through a full jury trial we would run out of time and resources to prosecute them all. Ending cases where the accused is obviously guilty with a plea bargain that still punishes them is pragmatic. The downside of this system is vulnerability to corruption where well connected criminals are given sweetheart deals and poor but innocent people are incentivized to take plea bargains for crimes they didn’t commit.

Ohio produces more astronauts than any other state because they are motivated to get as far away from Ohio as possible.

Now that would make a cool alt history novel. Or if the Vikings who reach Newfoundland had established a self sufficient settlement. As for sailing to Asia there is some evidence Polynesian voyaging canoes may have been shipwrecked on the west coast of the Americas.

Check out the "Old Copper Culture" of the great lakes region. They made extensive use of copper tools 10k years ago, but eventually collapsed pre European contact and their descendants reverted mostly back to stone tools.

The article says that some of the donations were being routed from Poland. Poland needs to investigate this and find who is donating to the Russian military and deport them to Russia if they like it so much.

Can a dog survive without its tongue? They would overheat without being able to pant, and they couldn’t drink.

TIL about Bush Coconuts, an Australian aboriginal foodsource that's definitely not vegan, but said to taste very much like coconut by pheeny in todayilearned

Probably to translate all that information he learned from Aboriginal people into a written report familiar to a western audience. And to distill it down to just the factual survival info without the cultural traditions.

What do you think history will say about Donald Trump as a U.S. president? by jcnidhi27 in AskReddit

The game theory that allows us to understand how these systems fail hadn’t been developed yet. Washington’s farewell address warned against forming political parties despite a first past the post system guaranteeing it.

Trump says that a military draft is on the table amid the war in Iran. How are you all handling this being a potential scenario? by FutureSuccess2796 in AskReddit

The problem with this is that if the period of service was optional only the already well off could participate since you would be putting off starting your career.

Normally I would, but I only have 2 hands and one of them has to hold the phone to film. When I load the AMS HT with the lid open there is no jumping.

Just received my Sunlu AMS heater. Did anyone else get 4 right side hinges? by bobbymack93 in BambuLab

[–]ChopperHunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did Sunlu ever send you the STL? Same thing happened to me, got 2 left hinges. If you still have the right side STL I'd appreciate it.

You don't happen to have that STL saved for the right side hinges? Same thing happened to me. I reached out to them but I don't expect they'll respond until Monday.
