  • ‘What the f*ck did you do?!’ Video contradicts DHS claims about killing of Alex Pretti

    Jump

  • That's uhhh, not how that works. You can't hold ground with bombs and missiles. And the Army is absolutely capable of holding ground against bombs and missiles. Nukes are, obviously, another story.

    Judge blocks Colorado law requiring health warning on gas stoves. He says there is no evidence that gas stoves cause or contribute to health issues

    Jump

  • No. The stove causes pollution. This is the same as smoking around children. And it's not addictive. Getting rid of it should be easy.

  • ICE Shoots Minneapolis Observer in the head

    Jump

  • The governor and local officials dispute the federal government's version.

    That's great. Now arrest the ICE agent for murder.

  • Wikipeter founded the website in 1993 when he wanted to know more about model trains without having to visit the library

    Jump

  • I feel like this is one of those bell curve memes. At the start you see that it's publicly edited and you turn away. Then you see the extensive source citations and why not? Then you get involved in editing Wikipedia and you see what constitutes a "source" and what happens on the talk pages. And you're right back to not ever citing Wikipedia.

    Seriously though, Wikipedia isn't going to be nearly in depth enough for any research paper worth a damn after you do your first couple. And that's because those are meant to teach you how to do research papers. Wikipedia isn't as bad as AI but anyone who's neck deep in a field will find problems with any Wikipedia page about their field. And it just gets worse the more politicized your field is. So the answer is as it always was. Go to the primary sources.

  • YSK to get a passport in the US, you need to have access to information about your parents and most recent ex-spouse

    Jump

  • Americans are not fans of centralized information on the population. It doesn't help that the corporate equivalent to Voldemort is trying to sell it as a means of "law and order". Something every American understands is meant to screw with us. Literally every time we give the government a new database they abuse it. The most recent is connecting a medical database to immigration enforcement.

    So yeah. If we could stop electing people under the motto, "The Cruelty Is The Point", then we could have nice things.

  • YSK to get a passport in the US, you need to have access to information about your parents and most recent ex-spouse

    Jump

  • It's not an automatic denial either though. You can N/A those sections if you don't have the information. They may ask you to fill out an extra form but if you're an adult they may also just accept it if everything else is okay. What you shouldn't do is lie on the form. So don't N/A something where you do have the information.

  • You forgot the part where you have to dig into the motherboard's software to enable Windows 11.

    I love building PCs but it's simple until it's not.

  • Donald Trump announces he’s imposing a ‘total blockade’ on oil to and from Venezuela

    Jump

  • Far more concerning is his statement that Venezuela has stolen Land, Oil, and Assets from the US. A blockade on sanctioned oil isn't a policy change.

  • 2026 Ford Lightning will have all-electric drive train and gasoline-powered range extender

    Jump

  • Range anxiety. That's the word you're looking for and yeah, no clue why they didn't do gas-electric in the first place. It's not like the concept is unproven with trains and ships. It's like the companies actively didn't want to make the best combination until they had to.

  • Not pictured, it's McDonald's part time grill back up position that only gets hours while the Auto Grill 8000 is down.

  • This bedroom game is weird

  • Said like someone whose "screwed the pooch" too many times.

  • The new cover of Der Spiegel: “Two villains — one goal”

    Jump

  • Have you seen the polling in the US? He's trying to gin up a literal drug war for a reason.

  • It will trickle down any second now

    Jump

  • Most of America cannot absorb a sudden expense of 400-1000 dollars.

  • It will trickle down any second now

  • You say that but they can and do use that virtual value to buy bread.

  • American Whiskey Production Has Plummeted to a New Low

    Jump

  • Depends on how financially healthy the distillery is. A place that's really bad will convert to gin production. An okay, not great, place might sell some more younger stuff at a discount. And places that planned well will hold out for greater profit down the line by aging more stuff.

  • American Whiskey Production Has Plummeted to a New Low

    Jump

  • Oh dude. That stuff is barely whiskey. There's much better American stuff out there.

  • ICE agents tackle, arrest American citizen in Minneapolis

    Jump

  • A country where the people aren't secure from random acts of violence by their government isn't a country at all.

  • Just 0.001% hold three times the wealth of poorest half of humanity, report finds

  • Living inside the system is not consent to the system. Comparing doctors to cops is ridiculous. Cops entire reason for existence is to defend the system.
