  • Jim Beam shutting down bourbon production at Kentucky distillery for a year as Trump’s trade wars hit sales

    Jump

  • I've tried several of these and have to wonder how the author came up with these suggestions, because they're very different than their American "counterparts" on this list. With that said, I've been doing my part and haven't bought a single bottle of anything from the US since this started. i do miss bourbon - it's my favourite liquor - but I've gotten to try a bunch of nice ryes and other whiskys, irish ones in particular.

    Edit: that article actually looks like ChatGPT content, which explains why it's so bad and inaccurate.

  • US military to stop shooting live animals to train medics for the battlefield

  • Are they going to start shooting ICE detainees instead?

  • Kennedy Center board member who opposed new Trump name claims she was ‘muted’ during vote: ‘This was not unanimous’

    Jump

  • Americans have been huffing their own farts for so long about their country being the ultimate expression of democracy that they came to see it as an immutable fact of life rather than something that needs constant tending, and now they don't know how to do it.

  • Explained: Why you can't move Windows 11 taskbar like Windows 10, according to Microsoft

    Jump

  • The equation they are thinking of, though, is "will the cost of those who actually quit using Windows outweigh the cost of building and maintaining this feature." Funnily enough the inability to move the taskbar is what finally pushed me to Linux full-time, but the overwhelming majority will complain and stick to Windows.

  • National decree in the Democratic Republic of Congo grants full legal protection of endangered African gray parrots, making it a criminal offense to capture, kill, sell, or transport these birds

    Jump

  • I don't understand how there could still be demand for this... Grays have been popular in aviculture for decades, so there's no shortage of breeding stock available without needing to resort to taking animals from the wild. Hopefully these measures make a real difference.

  • US prices continued to rise despite Trump claims they are ‘rapidly’ falling

    Jump

  • Dond Trump told his supporters to reject the evidence of their own eyes and ears. It was his final, most essential command.

  • Germany: Pro-Putin lawmaker from far-right AfD party charged with giving the Nazi salute in the parliament

    Jump

  • Good point, I really shouldn't jump to conclusions like that, it's unfair to them. They could simply be distressed about the economy.

  • Germany: Pro-Putin lawmaker from far-right AfD party charged with giving the Nazi salute in the parliament

    Jump

  • Just because they support Nazis and behave exactly as Nazis would, doesn't mean they're Nazis. We have to give them the benefit of the doubt until they have all of us up against the wall.

  • System76 Launches Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS With COSMIC Desktop

    Jump

  • Krohnkite? It unfortunately doesn't have anywhere near the polish and ease of use as the PopOS implementation, for example its easy toggling between tiling and stacking. Nobody comes close to the way PopOS has done it.

  • System76 Launches Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS With COSMIC Desktop

    Jump

  • Awesome, congrats to the team. I don't use it anymore but I'll always have a soft spot for PopOS as being the distro that finally made me a Linux fulltimer. I really wish KDE would implement their tiling system.

    BC Legislator wants statutory holiday to honour Truckers Freedom Convoy

  • Ah yes, one of the nutjobs who was too much of a nutjob for even the BC Conservatives so they formed their own Maple MAGA party.

  • Default subs were already heavily astroturfed garbage. Smaller subs still generally fly under the radar, for now at least.

  • Rules of acquisition, rule 214. Never begin a business negotiation on an empty stomach.

    Jump

  • I guess so, although I feel like "gringo" has kind of transcended being offensive?

  • Rules of acquisition, rule 214. Never begin a business negotiation on an empty stomach.

    Jump

  • It seems to be a term directed at white people, so no, probably not... I don't speak Hindi, I just remember seeing the etymology of Ferengi a while back.

  • Their Rye is actually pretty decent, at least when I had it a few years ago.

    Jump

  • Pretty odd name for a restaurant -- it's a derogatory term to describe foreigners, like a Greek restaurant named "Barbaros".

  • Filling up my car's gas tank takes forever with one 50ml bottle at a time, and I`m not sure the savings per litre offset all this money I've been spending on airplane tickets...
