  • I remember we'd tape shows on the VCR when gone and it was so nice to fast forward through the ads.

    Going back to live shows I found myself reaching for the VCR remote until I remembered.

  • Canadian-made Roshel Senator MRAP that hit an anti-tank mine. All Ukrainian soldiers on board survived without injuries.
  • Honestly doesn't look all that bad for a fucking anti tank mine.

    This incident marks the first documented instance where a commercial-based armored vehicle has successfully withstood such an attack, highlighting its robust protective capabilities

    For those that don't know it's built on a Ford 550 frame.

  • Did Obama Becoming President Make People Hide Their Racism?
  • Cough cough is an indicator that a person says one thing but wants to do/does another thing.

    "Mom I'm going to the mall cough Stacy's cough"

    The tea party did not actually care about fiscal responsibility. It was anti Obama.

  • [History] The Great Whale Robbery of Labrador

    I found this fascinating, and interesting history.

    Is there a way to search your Lemmy comments?

    Or to load a whole bunch at once so you can Ctrl+F? I used to use RES on the other site to do that.

    TIL China now has a 3 child policy.

    Maximum, that is.

    1 child policy from 1979 to 2015.

    2 child policy from 2015 to 2021.

    3 child policy since 2021.

    >The announcement came after the release of the results of the Seventh National Population Census, which showed that the number of births in mainland China in 2020 was only 12 million, the lowest number of births since 1960, and the further aging of the population, against which the policy was born.[5] This was the slowest population growth rate China experienced.[6]

    >Although the CCP government had high expectations for the new policy,[16] in a 2021 online poll conducted by the state media Xinhua on its Weibo account, using the hashtag #AreYouReady for the new three-child policy, about 29,000 out of 31,000 respondents stated they would "never consider it."[15]

    How would Biden give abortion rights?

    Act of Congress? So he would need majority of both houses and get rid of the filibuster?

    Failing that, Executive action?

    How many years do modern laptop batteries last?

    And can they easily be replaced?

    I'm not looking, just pondering and wondering about Framework.

    The first barge went through the Baltimore passage. How much of the traffic is barges and smaller ships, vs the large ships?

    I think there's a fair bit of traffic up and down the east coast and in the Chesapeake Bay, which doesn't necessarily need the huge ships. But I have no idea the size of ships they usually use. Anyone know?

    To save on chocolate prices: If you crave chocolate, you might be magnesium deficient. Take a magnesium supplement.

    48% of Americans are magnesium deficient. From googling, the hard to absorb inorganic ones are magnesium oxide and magnesium chloride. The easy to absorb organic salts include magnesium citrate, lactate, aspartate, and glycinate.

    I also found when I eat eggs, I crave chocolate less. I think it's the fat content.

    (But I expect many just like the sugar.)

    Did TOS set the precedent for the medical doctor to play such a big role?

    I can imagine a show without a doctor. But in all the shows the doctor plays a big role.

    I'm trying to think this back and McKoy was such a brilliant character I can see that starting the entire trend. I'm unsure if there was a trend in TV before that for a medical doctor. Anyone know?
