They need 2/3rds to override a Veto. In opposition it’s going to be much more about putting the brakes on Trump. Anyone publicly expecting forward movement on progressive goals without a progressive president is not speaking in good faith.

World News@lemmy.world•Iranian army shoots down US another F-15English
1·12 days agoThe US military can’t even keep it’s operations properly secret because privates have to tell their AI girlfriend what they’re up to. You really think they could keep shoot downs secret? There’s 5,000 sailors on an Aircraft carrier. This isn’t the CIA.
Trick question. Obviously you should be running a PVS 14 on an elbow mount. If you need a magnifier to shoot it then you’re far enough away to kill it with the radio.

1·2 months agoThat’s uhhh, not how that works. You can’t hold ground with bombs and missiles. And the Army is absolutely capable of holding ground against bombs and missiles. Nukes are, obviously, another story.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Judge blocks Colorado law requiring health warning on gas stoves. He says there is no evidence that gas stoves cause or contribute to health issuesEnglish
36·2 months agoNo. The stove causes pollution. This is the same as smoking around children. And it’s not addictive. Getting rid of it should be easy.
The governor and local officials dispute the federal government’s version.
That’s great. Now arrest the ICE agent for murder.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Wikipeter founded the website in 1993 when he wanted to know more about model trains without having to visit the library
17·2 months agoI feel like this is one of those bell curve memes. At the start you see that it’s publicly edited and you turn away. Then you see the extensive source citations and why not? Then you get involved in editing Wikipedia and you see what constitutes a “source” and what happens on the talk pages. And you’re right back to not ever citing Wikipedia.
Seriously though, Wikipedia isn’t going to be nearly in depth enough for any research paper worth a damn after you do your first couple. And that’s because those are meant to teach you how to do research papers. Wikipedia isn’t as bad as AI but anyone who’s neck deep in a field will find problems with any Wikipedia page about their field. And it just gets worse the more politicized your field is. So the answer is as it always was. Go to the primary sources.

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK to get a passport in the US, you need to have access to information about your parents and most recent ex-spouse
2·2 months agoAmericans are not fans of centralized information on the population. It doesn’t help that the corporate equivalent to Voldemort is trying to sell it as a means of “law and order”. Something every American understands is meant to screw with us. Literally every time we give the government a new database they abuse it. The most recent is connecting a medical database to immigration enforcement.
So yeah. If we could stop electing people under the motto, “The Cruelty Is The Point”, then we could have nice things.

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK to get a passport in the US, you need to have access to information about your parents and most recent ex-spouse
4·2 months agoIt’s not an automatic denial either though. You can N/A those sections if you don’t have the information. They may ask you to fill out an extra form but if you’re an adult they may also just accept it if everything else is okay. What you shouldn’t do is lie on the form. So don’t N/A something where you do have the information.
You forgot the part where you have to dig into the motherboard’s software to enable Windows 11.
I love building PCs but it’s simple until it’s not.

World News@quokk.au•Donald Trump announces he’s imposing a ‘total blockade’ on oil to and from Venezuela
11·3 months agoFar more concerning is his statement that Venezuela has stolen Land, Oil, and Assets from the US. A blockade on sanctioned oil isn’t a policy change.

Electric Vehicles@slrpnk.net•2026 Ford Lightning will have all-electric drive train and gasoline-powered range extender
6·3 months agoRange anxiety. That’s the word you’re looking for and yeah, no clue why they didn’t do gas-electric in the first place. It’s not like the concept is unproven with trains and ships. It’s like the companies actively didn’t want to make the best combination until they had to.
Not pictured, it’s McDonald’s part time grill back up position that only gets hours while the Auto Grill 8000 is down.
Said like someone whose “screwed the pooch” too many times.
That’s not the vote of confidence you think it is.
Anyone using the word Obongo to refer to Obama does not make that distinction. Anything left of YOYO plans is socialized healthcare to them.











Hehe, snuggling job.
