  • Jack Smith says Trump acknowledged to others that he lost 2020 election

    Jump

  • He was deposed by Congress and the video was released yesterday. No doubt Bondi will try to do yet another retaliatory made up charge in retribution, so he'll be in the news regardless.

  • DHS says REAL ID, which DHS certifies, is too unreliable to confirm U.S. citizenship

    Jump

  • Where does it show citizenship? I think the part you quoted may mean "proof of citizenship or [other means of] lawful presence"

  • DHS says REAL ID, which DHS certifies, is too unreliable to confirm U.S. citizenship

    Jump

  • To be fair, REAL ID was never meant to give citizenship. Its purpose is identity and lawful presence. I have friends here on visas. They're obviously not citizens, but also they're here legally and have REAL IDs.

    For this same reason, people trying to say proof of citizenship to vote is no big deal because everyone has a REAL ID is full of shit in multiple ways.

  • Capitol riot 'does not happen' without Trump, Jack Smith told Congress

    Jump

  • That's not quite it either. From the transcript:

    The attack that happened at the Capitol, part of this case, does not happen without [Trump]

  • Democrat wins Iowa state Senate race, blocking GOP from regaining supermajority

    Jump

  • The seat was previously Democratic too, for what it's worth. The split was about 70/30.

  • Kennedy Center Altered Rules So Only Trump-Appointed Board Members Could Vote on Name Change

    Jump

  • Ditto Department of Defense

  • What Americans in a 1998 poll expected to happen by the year 2025

  • Did you read the full sentence?

  • How do you say age in your language?

    Jump

  • So kind of like saying "I am 14 yeared" (the same way a shirt with stripes is a striped shirt)? That's actually kind of interesting.

  • How do you say age in your language?

  • Wait until you realize where the word verano comes from

  • How do you say age in your language?

    Jump

  • In my first language (English) a 14-year-old would day "I am 14 years old" which means "I am 14 years old"

    In my distant second language (Spanish) they would say "tengo 14 años" which, like Italian, means "I have 14 years"

  • Federal judge dismisses indictment against TikToker shot by ICE, citing constitutional violations

    Jump

  • The judge dismissed the case with prejudice, meaning prosecutors cannot refile the same charges.

    You know, unless SCOTUS gets rid of the double jeopardy clause of the 5th amendment. Which, looking at the actual text, I guess I shouldn't be surprised if someone tried

    nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb

    Sounds just as settled at Roe v. Wade

  • That's ok, I don't want to see the shop anymore anyway.

    Jump

  • The thought counts

    Was there even thought though?

  • Energy is not created or destroyed, it only gets transformed from one form to another. Fuel represents a storage of energy. So when you burn fuel, you are taking the energy contained in that fuel and using it to create heat energy, harness it to make a car move, generate electricity (which you seem to agree is energy as well), or whatever.

    Think about high school physics. Bring a 200 pound weight to the top of a tower, and it has potential energy. Nothing happens, just as nothing happens to fuel without a spark, but if you drop it out turns into kinetic energy. Let it hit the ground, and the sidewalk will absorb some of that energy as it breaks, it gets absorbed into sound energy, the whole process repeats on a smaller scale as it bounces, etc. All energy, and not in the hippy "the universe is all energy, maaan" kind of way.

    The first part of this Technology Connections video also shows how propane is stored energy that gets converted: https://youtu.be/OOK5xkFijPc - just because that spark was needed to convert the energy in that propane to heat, doesn't mean the spark is the source of the energy. If you're going to be pedantic enough that I have to explain that.

  • Gas isn't energy

    It absolutely is. Do I need to explain why that's a ridiculous take, or have you had enough coffee by now to realize it?

  • Justice Department says Jan. 6 pipe bomb suspect believed election conspiracy theories

    Jump

  • Yeah, I was honestly wondering what an election conspiracy theory could possibly be coming from Kash Patel's FBI.

  • Which country is safest and most open-minded to immigrants?

  • Svalbard, Norway doesn't even require a visa to live there, but you do need to be able to support yourself (basically, have a job lined up before you arrive) and you'll need to be able to enter the Schengen region to get there.

    Not sure why you'd want to go out of your way to immigrate to Russia of all places given... Gestures at Putin

  • I mean... Gas prices are relatively low right now, at least here in 'Merica. I've seen them more than double what they are now, how did that happen?
