Is it clear how close they have to be to an ex-President at all times? Is the law written that they need to be in visual contact at all times? I have no idea.

Yeah, I agree. That phrase was the more memorable one for me for many years until I noticed the “tomorrow” phrase that precedes it. Both of them together in one verse makes it the strongest verse of any song I know of.
I find one line particularly powerful, and it’s been used in a couple famous songs.
Jenny Lou Carson (1944), made popular by Willie Nelson (1966)
I’d trade all of my tomorrows for just one yesterday For what good is life without the one you love I’d trade all of my tomorrows, they’re worthless anyway If my arms can’t hold the one I am dreaming of
Just an empty world is all I have before me I’d give anything if you were with me now I’d trade all of my tomorrows for just one yesterday I don’t want to live without you anyhow
Kris Kristofferson Me and Bobby McGee (1969)
And I’d trade all of my tomorrows For one single yesterday Holdin’ Bobby’s body next to mine Freedom’s just another word for nothin’ left to lose Nothin’ left is all that Bobby left me.
Every gun owner that legally uses weed in a weed-legal state commits the same felony by lying on that same form, when purchasing a firearm. It’s pretty common to not prosecute this felony.
I was going to post this exact comment. My Pixel default launcher had a huge amount of wasted space at the top. I also use Nova.
In the US, a University is usually a collection of colleges. Each college has a somewhat independent structure from other colleges within the University, and each is led by its own Dean. Each college has different requirements of entry and provide rules for what it takes to get a degree from that college. But ultimately, you get a degree from something like “The University of Whatever, College of Engineering”. All the colleges have some certain amount of oversight and guidelines set up by the overall institution.
Agreed. Tit for tat doesn’t begin to describe the “Tat” that Russia has been flinging into Ukraine.
Except when you get a soft drink too close. Then you have buttons that are sticky forever.
Publicity will be off the charts for any future efforts by Oceangate, Inc.
Investments and volunteers will be the main challenges.
This is my favorite part of the article:
Söhnlein said the Titan passengers’ deaths shouldn’t stop humans from continuing to investigate carbon fiber hulled submersibles as a way to reach the bottom of the ocean.
“Forget OceanGate. Forget Titan. Forget Stockton. Humanity could be on the verge of a big breakthrough and not take advantage of it because we, as a species, are gonna get shut down and pushed back into the status quo,” he said.
Those two sentences really highlight how crazy this guy is.
It would be nearly impossible to mine ore from the surface. We don’t have the technology to keep something functional on the surface for more than a few minutes before it melts. A planet where you can’t access/visit the surface doesn’t seem like a good planet for humans to live.
I read somewhere that there was a general Lemmy bug with Hot and/or Active not refreshing without a server reset. I’ve heard people say that Best 6 or 12 hours is the best for now.
I lost track, but I assumed this was already part of the mishandled documents case. We’ve heard so much about this recording already, I didn’t realize that he hadn’t already been charged for this.
But unfortunately not stupid enough to actually testify.
There’s no way he would testify in any court proceeding where he doesn’t have to. This is just public bluster like always. It seems like the only good advice he takes from his lawyers is to avoid testifying to anything under oath.
You can blow out a candle
but you can’t blow out a fire.
Once the flames begin to catch
the wind will blow it higher.
… And the eyes of the world are watching now.
They are the last lyrics of Biko, by Peter Gabriel. The way he sings those lyrics as the song builds toward the end hits me every time I hear it. The last line is sung after a slight pause, and it sounds like a veiled threat to the leaders of South Africa that killed Stephen Biko. Also, it didn’t take a long time for change to happen in South Africa after the event, but when he wrote the song it was still several years away. So at the time it was still wishful thinking that “the wind would blow the flames higher”.
I ran a few things on an Odroid for years, which is like a Pi, and I wanted to upgrade. I shopped for an SBC with more RAM and found the prices getting high pretty quickly. I went with a mini PC made by Beelink- and have been very happy. There are many price points, based on RAM and drive: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=bee+link+pc
Aside from getting much more memory and storage for your money, I much prefer this hardware over an SBC because I can use any normal distro. With the Odroid I was stuck with the distros provided by the vendor.
Just FYI, sub.rehab lists more than just Lemmy instances. I found a listing for a squabbles community in there, but that is not federated with Lemmy.
Thank you! This has been driving me crazy. You are a hero.
I don’t think he will be “in prison” in any sense during the booking, so it doesn’t sound too important about how close they are.
