  • US can’t ban TikTok for security reasons while ignoring Temu, other apps, TikTok argues

  • I'd say it also needs to be entirely optional and be opt-in only. Any service, program, whatever needs to work fully for anyone who doesn't allow their data to be sold or released with extremely few exceptions.

  • UN votes 124-14 to strip Israel of right to self-defense in Gaza, West Bank

  • Russia and the US are involved because the other half of the UNs purpose is to keep them both from nuking shit.

  • Better solution.

    Data are owned by the generator. Only they can sell it etc...

    This also solves the privacy problem of law enforcement agencies applying warrants to phone companies etc. for access to your data, which has been an end-run around 4th Amendment rights for decades.

  • NYPD can't find knife at center of Brooklyn subway bystander shooting

    Jump

  • By "recovered" the cops unironically mean the opposite of recovered - as in a non-police person has taken the knife.

    I can't tell from just this article if I should lean more to standard cop butchering of language or intentional deception.

    EDIT: Or not? I found another article that says they retracted that statement about recovering the knife - that it was the wrong knife. That definitely doesn't make me less suspicious...

  • Looks like someone looked up their state definition and was annoyed at being wrong 😉

  • Dictionaries list common usage - even if incorrect. Look up the definition of right of way for your state or other government and I'm certain it will be the thing on which you travel or the right to create and manage it, not your "rights" while traveling on it.

    I couldn't find a list of all definitions by state but the three states I checked all use that.

    It would be weird if they didn't, since that's been the term since before automobiles existed: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_of_way

  • Misunderstanding "right of way" is half the problem.

    Right of way is ability to make a road, or the road itself by extension. You can't have the right of way - it's usually the government's - and you can't give it away. This is why wording is consistently who must yield the right of way, and not who has the right of way.

    If it's a driver's turn to act, they are obligated to act. It's not their option or right to act.

  • The US finally takes aim at truck bloat

    Jump

  • EPA has never banned small trucks. This is from consistent misinformation that shifts blame from car manufacturers to the government.

    EPA made a scaled plan that required improvements to emissions from smaller trucks first, then larger trucks over the years.

    Car manufacturers chose to abuse that flexibility by simply not making smaller trucks, instead of making ones that meet the standards, which is why trucks have steadily inflated in size in the US as they make whatever the next unregulated size class is that year.

    You can of course partially blame EPA for not having the foresight to predict that would happen - but they also make regulations under pressure from politicians and lobbyists who are themselves influenced by car manufacturers.

  • Speaking of manly ways to eat food...

  • This is probably in "is a hotdog a sandwich" territory so that was mostly for laughs.

    The unambiguous term is "blossom end" because that's where the flower attaches, but probably not helpful for most people. Small end? Uncut end?

  • Wow. You're really bad at math. Maybe the reason you think this isn't a problem is because you've never been in school?

    Wanna try again?

    EDIT: Naaaah. I'll just give it to you. You're right! It's only once a month.

    Just because it want to see how much of a fucking idiot you'll make of yourself trying to bend farther over backwards to see if you can walk it back to once a year and still look like a fucking psychotic moron.

  • I'm sorry. How many times per week has someone shot a gun in a school in the US in 2024 again?

    I can't seem the find that in your reply...
