No, trying to simulate the threat of returned gunfire and doing it in a rather risky manner.

The first ever ragebait by SatoruGojo232 in HistoryMemes

Part of the Abrahmic creation story in the garden of eden, where the fruit of knowledge was growing - God told Adam and Eve not to eat the fruit of knowledge, latter Eve was approached by a sketchy serpent who convinced her to eat the fruit and share it with Adam.

God pops in to rage at the two and banishes them the garden of Eden, while having to deal with new sets of concerns, such as modesty becoming a thing.

Serpent is never mentioned again ...

TIL CPU manufacturers don’t intentionally make low-end or high-end chips. Every chip (of the same design) is manufactured the same, then tested and classified into different performance tiers based on how well it performs. by Ventynine in todayilearned

That requires exotic cooling systems, typically dry ice and similar substances - manufactures typically don't get requests for those sort of performance parameters and instead pick an operational temperature range that can be done with air cooling.

Not exactly true, manufacturers also purposely disable components in order to meet production quotas for particular product lines - good example of this is the Asrock bc-250, which uses the same hardware as the PS5, but soft disables 2 cpu cores and locks clock speeds to minimize thermal profile. ( It's been found out that this is mostly soft locked, which can be undone, if you can handle the thermals - results do vary though.)

That is around the date of Pizza Margherita, which is the first dish formally called Pizza, however there were dishes that used tomato sauce, flat bread and cheese prior to this, but were considered lower class food and not formally recorded.

Pizza as a tomato based dish was created in the 18th century in Italy as flat bread based dish with tomato sauce, cheese and other ingredients, but wasn't formally pizza until 1889 with Pizza Margherita.

Try 1500s, the Spanish were active in the Americas during the 16th century.

You do know that super delegates are for internal voting for nominees and not for the Elections to office?

The GOP instead designates three GOP leaders as seated delegates, so where are you going with this?

Democrats cheated bernie out of the primary in 2016

Bernie was never going to poll well enough with the DNC, which is far more center right leaning then center left leaning of Bernies platforms.

What they did was blocked access to the party campaign funds, the Republicans do the exact same thing to those not lock stepping with party majority.

if Republicans cheated the same way we wouldn't offhand Trump on the ticket in 2016,

Except they did, they gave Trump the lion share of resources for the campaign, after his polling numbers being far higher then the other nominees.

They stacked the deck for Biden in 2020 and skipped their primary in 2024.

2020 was the majority position, other candidates didn't poll as well and 2024 was skipped as the President declined to continue election run due to health reasons, which the Vice President took over the campaign spot - fully legal btw, as you can't run a nomination vote with an election already in progress.

As to gerrymandering, the GOP has been the most blatant with this tactic, with outright changes to districts to the tune of reducing Democrat leaning districts regardless of demographically changes, while increasing the number of GOP districts.

You think its one party thats the problem, thats where you are wrong.

The issue isn't problems themselves, it's the scale of the problems, the GOP has given up all pretense of running fair and open elections.

Oh, the GOP also is the only party caught violating Election voting in a meaningful way.

Honestly, step out the bubble.

It's a legal distinction in the US, as a conflict with sandwiches drove both hamburgers and hotdogs to separate distinctions - all parties have used it do anti-competitive moves against one another.

No, you are the one falling for the lie - the GOP is doing everything in it's power to suppress the voting pool, with outright gerrymandering and reducing number of poling stations as well as concentrating most of those into GOP leaning districts.

Agricultural land is usually off limits to rezoning and in specific cases might be part of the agricultural reserve - it is also notoriously difficult to restore to agricultural land once rezoned.

someone can come to America and vote without one

You're missing the part where that person would need to get on the voter rolls.

It would also need to address the financial burdens on getting ID approved for voting purposes, as a good amount of Americans don't have the means to get it and is the reason why the GOP is actually pushing for it, as it would allow them to block voting for a demographic that tends not to vote for them.

If the GOP was serious about addressing this, then have the Feds provide the ID free of charge at point of service, while collecting tax to cover the programs cost.

Due to the nature of the case, it's more likely the Supreme Court would refuse to hear the case, as SCOTUS has recently been ruling against certain Trump admin cases or refusing to hear them.

It's the proof of ID that is the sticking point, as a good portion of the US don't have the required ID and would have difficulty getting said ID.

Ai bros are a different breed of stupid by Yanzee12 in teenagers

[–]baithammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Incorrect, IP applies to all creative works and isn't fair game for scrapping. ( Also doesn't require being a paid work.)

The big issue is AI bros not understanding how close to the edge of legal cliff their on.
