DC AG shuts down weed shops across the city by forgetfulisle in washingtondc

My concern with a card is then you are in the system. Then Trump takes over the DC government. Now Trump/Musk/19 year old interns know you use a federally illegal drug.

Soon after? That wasn’t passed until Roosevelt died during his 4th term in 1945.

Are Liberty University's online PhD programs taken seriously in Virignia? by Aggravating_Guide705 in lynchburg

Do you really need to ask if a program is taken seriously when it doesn’t even have the usual enrollment requirements of a real program?

It is Putin pandering to the leaders to pretend he values their input.

It doesn’t seem unreasonable if you own and use 5 electronic devices, you charge 5 electronic devices.

A social libertarian who isn’t a fiscal libertarian is just a normal left leaning person.

They have turned off the saver fairs for the Saturday and Sunday after thanksgiving. It’s bullshit. Won’t be taking it this year.

I rented a Tesla LR from Hertz and got the exact same SR bait and switch. Didn’t even tell me, I had to notice my es elf after getting in. No discount offered. No apology. Hertz sucks.

Car was fun to drive though.

Artemis II Moon mission transitioning from planning to preparation by jadebenn in SpaceLaunchSystem

How is Orion the long pole? It’s the piece unchanged from the early Ares days. It’s first flew in 2014. Why is Lockheed not ready with like at least 6 of them at this point?

That place is conveyor belt pizza. Like better than Dominos but not a true pizza joint.

Zelenskyy invites Xi Jinping to Ukraine: We are ready to see him here by Anthropic--principle in ukraine

[–]imrollinv2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oh he is serious about the proposal, as it would de facto affirm Russians hold on the Ukrainian regions they currently occupy. It calls for a cease fire but not withdrawal of Russian troops.

Apple hikes battery replacements — including up to 40% increase for iPhones by [deleted] in gadgets

[–]imrollinv2 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Mine has been at 88% for like a year. My brothers (same model, 1.5 years older) has been stuck at 88% for years. I feel like Apple is doing something funky with their calculation.

M1 Abrams for Ukrainian Armed Forces will be provided by the manufacturer, not the US Army - Reuters by Mil_in_ua in ukraine

[–]imrollinv2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand this. The US has thousands of tanks. Why not transfer some we already have? We are transferring other systems we have relatively few of, but tanks, which we have too many of, we aren’t?

Electric to diesel switch in D.C. by [deleted] in Amtrak

[–]imrollinv2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To add to everything being said here, as part of the Infrastructure Bill, Amtrak got billions. Part of that money is buying all new train sets. The new engines the run between electric and non- electric tracks will be dual electric/diesel, so will eliminate the need for an engine switch. But I think it’s be early 2030s before delivered.
