2 days agoThere were 8 options and Debian has ranked choice voting. This was actually around the middle of the spectrum of options, so with half voting most to least restrictive and the other vice versa, the middle of the road choice won.

1·3 days agoAnd the Africans don’t even want to be there. They’re tricked into going to Russia with promises of a completely different job then once there forced into signing a contract written in Russian which is a military deployment.
2·3 days agoIt’s from a prediction market site (which is just gambling in a trenchcoat and Groucho Marx glasses) where you buy shares in the prediction of an outcome. That’s the price for a share in “Yes”.
Most states don’t even have a deposit. I put mine in a box, dump the contents into a recycle bin at the dump, and hope it actually goes to a recycling plant instead of ending up with the other stuff.
Don’t be in the vicinity when the time expires.
US liquor and wine were already taken off the shelves in almost every province for months now. In the others almost no one is buying it.
It takes time to write up all the instructions on what’s covered, the rates, and get more people assigned to enforcing and collecting it.
Announcing and then immediately enforcing tariffs turns any sort of commerce with the countries involved into an absolute shit show for the buyer and seller.
For people looking for sources:
- https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?edition=prelim&path=%2Fprelim%40title22%2Fchapter81 states the US will not comply with the ICC and section 7427 allows the use of force to retrieve a covered person detained or imprisoned by the ICC.
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Paperclip was a secret operation where Nazi scientists, engineers, and technicians were brought to the US after WWII ended in Europe. The Soviet Union did the same.

If he’s not up for it, Mick Foley’s also on record as pro-LGBTQ+.
17·18 days agoA poll of the UK had Binface at 33%, Farage at 20%, and the rest either neither or other. For the same poll done in Clacton, it was 73% Farage, 20% Binface, and the rest neither or other.
This asshole is testing some deep waters when it comes to contributory liability of copyright infringement in the US: https://www.cooley.com/news/insight/2026/2026-03-26-supreme-court-confirms-limits-on-contributory-liability-for-copyright-infringement
The US has the importation issue on a smaller scale because the tax on cigarettes varies between cities and states. Crooks will drive box trucks full of cigarettes from Virginia (which has the second lowest tax on them) to New York City (which has the highest).
A form has to be filled out above a certain number of packs so they’ll buy just below that amount at different locations to avoid having the purchases recorded by the state.
Newegg was bundling other parts with video cards to deter scalping. I got a Sapphire Pulse 9070 XT 16GB and 750W power supply for $630 a few months back. It’s now “on sale” by itself for $790. Months before that it was closer to $500!
The Seagate Exos 20 TB hard drives I paid $350-$400 each for over a year ago are now $793.
It’s absolutely insane.
And for anyone saying to ban phone number spoofing, that won’t do either. Businesses spoof the phone number of internal lines they don’t want people to call and replace it with the one at the reception desk.

Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts!
MapQuest already said they aren’t changing the name. Bing hasn’t said anything but it still says Lake Ontario for me in the US.
