Yeah, but this entire thread is about a cop being involved with literal organised crime, not figurative or metaphorical organised crime.

In another context, maybe we'd be talking about moral and not legal, but what you go to jail for is the distinction here.

Nah, people will hate over the dumbest, tiniest things. I'm a Jew, Germans are and were perfectly nice people. You probably hate me right now, and I haven't done anything. At the other end, terrible people have done wonderful things.

I know you're going to forget this exchange ever happened, but if I could pick a takeaway, it actually wouldn't have anything to do with the police. (Hey, I don't like them either)

And the entire industry of manufacturing spit hoods, and furnishing prisons with things they won't stab each other with, and various other grim things. And common knowledge. And those shitty live cop shows that used to be on. And common sense that criminals aren't nice.

It's also not the first such thing I've personally seen, and probably won't be the last. You see, I'm not rich like typical Lemmings, and (not to be a dick about it) honestly probably you.

That looks a whole lot like like practices you don't like, but which are legal.

I mean they're literally taking orders from Washington, including giving tribute in the form of free oil.

Except he's a world leader, not a shitposter, so his words actually have tangible repercussions in terms of blowback.

There's no prize for most telling-it-as-it-is here. Global politics is not a Twitter thread.

I've also seen Reddit/Lemmy suggest dropping nukes on Russia is a good, moral and safe idea, and I've seen it often.

Like, why would you play armchair general, if you're not actually interested in how any of this works?

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (5 children)

Yes, they are. You think whatever asshole doing a domestic is above it? They manufacture spit hoods because that's a regular issue.

I literally witnessed an arrest like this myself within the past month or so.

Kinda nothing. The US has no obligation to look up our past rhetorical precedents, if they invade.

Canada being an enemy of Iran isn't new, and the US is definitely able to do this, so there would be no payoff to condemning it.

Sure, and if you're the sort of person that needs everything to be sorted into neat black or white bins, maybe that's relevant.

The fact that getting screamed at and spit on is unpleasant remains, though.

A change to a nonexistent power vacuum that blows up is still a change, right?

There was a pretty huge shift in policy about the things that Trump actually cares about. (So not freedom and democracy)

I'm amazed that the Venezuelan government has managed a transition from anti-Americanism as their main ideology to being an American puppet this smoothly and quickly.

 

Don't fucking let "us" touch the courts, Canada.

Not sure how to link the exact episode about a "possible" invasion of Venezuela. If somebody knows I'll edit.

We'll see how it plays out. I'm still not sure they're actually planning to send 200,000 troops, but Trump said they're going to "run it" somehow.

Edit: Moving to invidious.

Bluesky, which uses it, has been opened to federation now, and the standard basically just looks better than ActivityPub. Has anyone heard about a project to make a Lemmy-style "link aggregator" service on it?

 

It's a few months old, but in light of recent events I think it still checks out. Make sure to watch the walkaround!

Last trip to the grocery store I couldn't find any non-US salad kits, and Silk NextMilk is made down there now, because I guess our plants were the listeria ones. Chip dip was surprisingly hard to find too, although I did it.

I'm very pleased with how many vegetables actually come from Mexico (definitely via the US though), and there's even a few things you can get from greenhouses, so that situation is less dire than I'd expected.

 

Refactoring gets really bad reviews, but from where I'm sitting as a hobby programmer in relative ignorance it seems like it should be easier, because you could potentially reuse a lot of code. Can someone break it down for me?

I'm thinking of a situation where the code is ugly but still legible here. I completely understand that actual reverse engineering is harder than coding on a blank slate.

 

This is one of those takes that's so controversial I'm afraid to post it, which is exactly why I have to.

I neither endorse nor disavow this, and no, I'm not in the picture.

 

I considered posting this elsewhere, but only Canadians are really going to get why it's funny. Regina being totally self aware about it's (lack of) reputation made it for me.

 

A link to the preprint. I'll do the actual math on how many transitions/second it works out to later and edit.

I've had an eye on this for like a decade, so I'm hyped.

Edit:

So, because of the structure of the crystal the atoms are in, it actually has 5 resonances. These were expected, although a couple other weak ones showed up as well. They give a what I understand to be a projected undisturbed value of 2,020,407,384,335.(2) KHz.

Then a possible redefinition of the second could be "The time taken for 2,020,407,384,335,200 peaks of the radiation produced by the first nuclear isomerism of an unperturbed ^229^Th nucleus to pass a fixed point in space."

 
 

People new to federation are wandering elsewhere. If the logged-in screen is anything like what I see as a guest, I'm not surprised. I found this through my own instance's search feature.
