Why aren’t there volume marks on the graduated cylinder? That’s what makes it graduated, not the bottom stand piece.

What illegal orders? This is a genuine question.

I’m an Army veteran and my wife is active duty. I do not believe any of the orders that have been issued thus far are illegal. The deployment to DC is potentially on some shaky legal ground, but that rests with the president and needs to be sorted out in court. Individual troops have no reason to refuse deployment to DC and the actions they’ve performed there, as far am I’m aware, are within the bounds for legal orders.

If one state deployed NG troops to another state, without the consent of the occupied state’s governor, that would be illegal. DC is a different situation because it can be under direct federal control and they have no national guard, as they do not have statehood.

That’s because two of the C ports are 40Gbps USB4. I bet there’s a PCI-E lane limitation they’re hitting.

Hawken was dope as hell when it was running. It was a bit faster than Mechwarrior, no anime stuff. It looks like Hawken Reborn is an early access game on Steam, but I can’t vouch for it.

Take it with a grain of salt means to be skeptical as if the findings are inaccurate. I don’t believe that to be the case. You can make the best decisions when you’re the most informed, and plenty of you will make it past 60. What if you plan on not surviving just to find out you have decades left? Best to take both scenarios into account, IMO.

Seems pretty straightforward to me, especially the section titled “The Alcohol Intake and Health Study’s conclusions, explained”

Their big-picture conclusion: Among the US population, the negative health effects of drinking alcohol start at low levels of consumption and begin to increase sharply the more a person drinks. A man drinking one drink per day has roughly a one in 1,000 chance of dying from any alcohol-related cause, whether an alcohol-associated cancer or liver disease or a drunk driving accident. Increase that to two drinks per day, and the odds increase to one in 25.

Alcohol use is associated with increased mortality for seven types of cancer — colorectal, breast cancer in women, liver, oral, pharynx, larynx, and esophagus. Risk for these cancers increases with any alcohol use and continues to grow with higher levels of use, the study’s authors concluded. Women experience a higher risk of an alcohol-attributable cancer per drink consumed than men. Men and women who die from an alcohol-attributable cause die 15 years earlier on average.

Amid all of the public discourse about alcohol and its health effects, here was a clear and authoritative summary of the evidence that would be most relevant to Americans. It was, its authors told me, consistent with the scientific consensus at this time.

“Nothing we’re saying is all that surprising or controversial to those of us who know the field,” Keyes said.

It’s obviously a vintage shitpost

I use an electric mower and do it early as fuck sometimes, like as soon as the sun comes up. Super quiet.

All talk, no action. Inaction isn’t as bad as a bad action, but it sure as shit isn’t good. When faced with someone doing an evil action, inaction is complicity.

Ask yourself: why is it the Democrats can have the legislative and executive branches and only deliver a half assed insurance program, yet Republicans can pack the Supreme Court in one term and ram through dozens of their ideas in months?

Instead of supporting progressive candidates like Sanders and Mamdani, they suppress them. Meanwhile, the Overton window shifts further right, and the country gets shittier and shittier.

Stop paying attention to what they say and start paying attention to what they do. We have the secret police in the streets now, with martial law for cities on the horizon, and the democrats are on vacation.

No, they’re not exactly the same. You don’t get to today without the inaction of Democrats.

What’s the biggest win we’ve seen from democrats in the last, say, 40 years? Gay marriage? They didn’t deliver on: healthcare, abortion, reducing military spending, police reform, government transparency, privacy, prosecuting Trump for his blatant corruption. Meanwhile, the Republicans can ram through dozens of their shittiest ideas in months. Why is that?

Picking a Democrat and thinking it’s going to change anything is misguided in my opinion. They’re the reason we have Trump today. They enable the Republicans through inaction, and prevent actual change by suppressing progressive candidates.
