I can't imagine a worst existence than seeing 98% of democrats vote for something and deciding the 2% that didn't define the party.

DHS is funded for 2 weeks and the rest of the government for a year. So, you know, in 2 weeks they can just straight up not fund DHS and not have a government shutdown.

It's not recommended to take NSAIDs during pregnancy because they are proven to cause complications during pregnancy. Which is why Tylenol (acetaminophen/paracetamol) is recommended.

I do like how they cut out the "From the River to the Sea" which is a historically anti-Israel chant that Arabs have been chanting for decade. It literally calls for the elimination of the entire country of Israel.

It's also worth noting that Bringham Young almost certainly ordered it but there's no real proof because practically every Mormon at the time would have lied about it to protect him.

The evidence points to it working like that despite what people believe.

They're usually intentional to narrow sightlines and to force drivers to be more careful when turning into traffic and actually make the road safer.

He explains it in the video, but some departments don't have breathalyzers or don't use them because it could be drugs rather than alcohol. So they rely on blood tests but the blood tests sometimes take MONTHS for the lab to run. In the meantime, the person will have been arraigned and maybe given bond with bond conditions that might include stuff like having to pay to install a immobilizer in their car, etc.

It's really fucked.

The thing about LIDAR is that it works the same regardless of lighting conditions. Mark Rober's video showed the Tesla in the BEST conditions it could possibly have (sunlight). Tesla's vision algorithms are only as good as human eyes and get completely outclassed by LIDAR at night.

The rise of fitness people telling consumers to buy skim milk is why we have stuffed crust pizza. The dairy industry used the excess fat to make more cheese, which lowered the price of cheese, which was then used by Pizza Hut to make the first stuffed crust pizza for a nationwide pizza chain.

Nah, but if you're looking for a story of a politician like that, look up Robert Byrd. He was pro-segregation for a large chunk of his political career and then his grandson died and caused him to slink into depression. A year later, he basically emerged from this depression a changed man and felt morally compelled to vote for civil rights.

I remember the slew of posts to imgur from obvious TEMU sockpuppet accounts a year ago or so.

Yeah most of these are just wildly inaccurate. California alone has spent $24 billion on homeless programs in the past 5 years for instance.

I agree with the sentiment but the numbers are completely off.

The maker made a comment on ycombinator that they took down what was reported and responded to Linode (their host) and iwantmyname (their registrar). Linode was satisfied and closed the ticket but iwantmyname didn't do anything so the owner of itchio assumes that they have an automated system to just... disable domains if action isn't taken.

Yeah that groan wasn't voluntary it was very likely her muscles all tensing up and then releasing so her body literally wasn't in control of itself.

Portable ACs are notoriously inefficient. Wall mounted units are so much better.

Could also be part of the name of the boat. Typically if it's a personally owned boat or a small business they'll name it something punny.

He won gold. Then he decided to go for the Olympic record, which he got without a fail. Then he decided to break his own world record. He failed the first 2 vaults. Then between the second and third vaults there is a whole medal ceremony. And then he succeeded on his third and final vault, all the while being cheered on by the silver medalist and the crowd.

It was pretty amazing to watch live because at some point in the competition people realized it was going to end with him vs. the record.

Yeah drivers are basically trained to hit the emergency stop and GTFO both for their physical protection and their psychological protection.
