  • Most toilets I've used don't fill the bowl with enough water on a single flush to overflow. You can adjust the chain (assuming not an office toilet) if it's flushing for too long.

    The only times I've overflowed a toilet I was as a kid, not realizing that trying to flush again might make the problem worse.

    I assume either they mean they don't keep flushing it over and over if the bowl fills up or their toilet flapper has a short chain and stops flushing quickly when they let go.

    Will running 1 stick of 8gb ram be noticeably different than 2x4gb for just browsing and watching youtube?

  • Are DDR3 sodimms manufactured by anybody anymore? I don't think Crucial leaving the consumer market will matter here.

    Edit: I looked into this more and it turns out that DDR3 was being produced until very recently. I expected it to have died out completely when DDR5 hit the scene. I can't quite tell if the production has completely stopped (all of the articles are talking about it happening at the end of this year), but it seems likely. I wouldn't expect any brand to be offering new DDR3 sticks in a few years.

  • They didn't claim a low number of troops, they claimed a high number of Federal Protection Service officers. They claimed that they had to send 25% (115) of all protection officers to Portland to protect ICE and that demonstrates an inability to execute federal law. The actual peak number of protection officers deployed at any one time was 31.

  • I wonder how accurate that number is. From what I can find, the source was Castro's head of intelligence. He'd certainly know things, but he is a single source. His list includes things that arent assassination attempts, like assassination schemes (plans that haven't been/won't be put into action) and attempts to assassinate his character. Is a plot to make his beard fall out an assassination attempt?

    The scuba suit with poison fungus is one that seems pretty popular, people love to bring it up. But it wasn't an actual attempt, it never made it out of the planning phase.

    Wait, the BBC article I just found about his book Executive Action: 634 Ways to Kill Fidel Castro says, "However most of the ideas were never put into practice, former bodyguard Fabian Escalante said." The source of the 634 number isn't even claiming that there were 634 assassination attempts.

  • Trump Brags That He “Took the Freedom of Speech Away” From Protesters

  • You can't separate the two things like that. Lighting a flag on fire is political speech and the administration has said they will charge people who light the flag on fire. The fact that the thing he lit on fire on federal property was the flag is absolutely legally relevant here. It will be a major part of his defense, as they will try to argue that the law he has violated is placing an undue burden on his freedom of speech. It will be the thing the entire case hinges on.

    This is important because it's fairly easy to make laws against all the things involved in a protest and then say "oh we aren't charging them for protesting, we are charging them for obstructing the view by holding a sign."

  • I'm not sure why the article says the charges aren't relating to burning the flag when the charges are about lighting the flag on fire. The charges don't say the word flag on them, but it is the flag burning they are charging him with.

  • The US has a progressive income tax, so it is true that people with higher education pay more income tax as a whole. The main difference with other countries is that it has a fairly low percentage cap and an absurdly low capital gains tax. The wealthy paying a low tax rate because of most of their earnings being asset based instead of income based doesn't change the fact that the people who get paid higher incomes from their jobs that required higher education pay more income tax.

  • If you were intentionally trying to design the page in a way to deny trans people their identity, I don't know what you would do differently from this.

    A binary 'Sex' field could at least have the cover of "Sorry, the code is 30 years old and we don't know how to change this field in the database without breaking things." Labeling the field as Sex Assigned at Birth means they considered trans people and considered them worth hurting.

    Edit: I do think asking for sex is a CDC thing. But only asking that means you can be misgendered at the pharmacy and also ignores that hormones have a major role in your health. A doctor or pharmacist going off your birth certificate to treat you is a bad doctor/pharmacist.
