  • Denmark becomes first country in world to end letter delivery

    Jump

  • Aside from having digital post for public services and official mail from things like financial institutions, nobody's stopping you from putting paper into a parcel envelope or using DAO who is taking over letter delivery.

  • Read it in a southern accent, it'll make sense

    Jump

  • Depends where in the south. Eastern North Carolina would commonly say soft drinks. And confusing sale and sell is common as in spoken dialect it is a homophone. But not sail.

    But anyway, this says soda drinks. Not sure who would call it that.

  • They couldn't get solid olive drab with fantastic red arm flair

  • US drops out of world’s most powerful passport top 10 list for the first time

    Jump

  • It can literally be done by a single person. All it does is count the number of countries with visa free or visa on arrival.

    But makes no stipulations to the quality of the country. Visa free access to UK, Canada, EU, Japan, China etc is not the same as visa free access to Syria, Sudan or the likes

  • The thing is it can be quite profitable for the biggest possible VC firm out there. The government.

    The Interstate System spurned so much economic growth and thereby new tax revenue. Weve just pissed it away on stupid shit and have failed to maintain critical bridges and things like that.

  • Donald Trump responds to idea of tunnel connecting Russia and US

    Jump

  • And then everyone clapped

  • Live Nation’s CEO thinks concert tickets are “underpriced”

    Jump

  • From a purely economics standpoint, when scalpers are able to sell at a higher price, yes they are underpriced.

    But doing so limits access to cultural events to only those that can afford them.

  • Marjorie Taylor Greene Calls For United States to Be Split Up, Declares Country ‘No Longer Safe’ For Anyone

  • Nova Launcher is seemingly shutting down – so here are some alternatives

    Jump

  • Same, and I've tried others. I want the app drawer to have tabs, I want to change the folder appearance... Use gestures. Something is always missing.

  • I learnt to swim! Efficient swimming techniques ?

    Jump

  • Yeah front crawl is not the most energy intense. Do Butterfly and report back.

  • ‘Bizarre and wrong’: Danish zoo sparks debate with plea for pets to use as food

    Jump

  • The article left out that they weren't asking for cats and dogs but things like rabbits. If the rabbits procreate and can't be given a home, what alternative is there? Euthanize them and bury them? Cremate them?

  • YSK that Gerrymandering allows politicians to determine election outcomes by changing electoral maps. In most western countries, it's illegal. Gerrymandering is common in the United States

    Jump

  • This will lead to the majority of the state getting full say and suppressing minority views. This can be political, racial, etc.

    California has a large Republican population. If it goes state wide they get zero voice as the full state will go blue.

    These days I'm kinda fine with that, but in principle this is wrong. The same suppression logic can be spread to ethnic groups, etc.

  • One of the main complications in the US is the racial mix. Looking at party lines and geographic boundaries is an over simplification

    Say 20% of the population is black, and the state has five reps. Two neighboring cities each have 30% black population, and enough population to have two of the five reps. The rest are dispersed in rural areas. Do you draw that each city gets one rep? Or do you draw such that a district has a majority of black residents, with funny boundaries to accommodate the geography?

    The former means that you will more likely end up with a white representative for both cities and the voice of the black community are not heard in the legislative body. The latter means that you have now gerrymandered to ensure a group gets a voice they deserve.

    This is the real pain in the ass about the whole thing. Some level of drawing stupid districts is needed to create good. Pure geographically created boundaries will only cause segregation if we want minority groups to have an equal voice in the legislature.

    But, people in power tend to fuck everything up.

  • And his father? Because it also says clearly that as long as one parent is a green card holder or citizen that citizen ship is granted.

  • I only have option 2, and would like option 1. But I can still open varying amounts, depending if it's extra windy or not. The slide bar had adjustable tension.
