Bill and Hilary Clinton refuse to testify in Epstein probe as Republicans threaten contempt charges in c/politics@lemmy.world

It's congress as well, they can only call witnesses or documentation for purposes of reviewing/updating/creating legislation. So it is only even a valid summons if they are saying they want to create legislation that investigates the executive branch members and their connections to root out corruption. Thus it would make more sense to summon Trump and Bannon as well for their current ties to the executive branch, rather than Bill, who has not been a member of executive branch for 25 years.

Congress writes legislation, it doesn't judiciate anything.

Why couldn't one argue that Nick Shirley commited libel/slander. Their actions did in fact directly impact everyone involved? Did they claim you did something, yes. Did they do it with the intention to cause harm, yes. All harmed should be able to sue

Shouldnt the people of Minnesota sue Nick Shirley directly for the loss of any funds based on their bogus information. The damages may appear direct by saying you cut $200 of food to this person, but the effects of cutting that $200 could cause thousands in damages to their lives. Thus suing them for multiple times the total amount of funds cut should be completely reasonable.

People making unfound claims that don't come out and immediately say they were bullshit when policies are made around the should be held 100% liable. Then every member involved in enacting that policy once found rediculous should be impeached investigated to be personally held liable for the same amounts, owed to the citizens hurt.

Would that make them bankrupt for the rest of their life, yes. But their actions caused worse

US Black Hawk helicopter trespasses on private Montana ranch to grab elk antlers in c/nottheonion@lemmy.world

Makes you wonder if it was some stupid thing where the makers of Yellowstone rented access to a helicopter for filming, then when they were filming had them land someplace thinking they were on still on another ranch or public property.

All I can say is if you have enough land to not know a military helicopter landed in your yard, you've got a lot of land

ICE shooting comes after bombshell probe finds new recruits 'can barely read or write' in c/politics@lemmy.world

What portion of that 21% considered illiterate are actually literate, but just not in English. I'm sure there are many who grew up in other countries and moved here but never bothered properly learning English. Like that would be like saying 1 in 5 people cannot use a phone, because surely they have to be able to read to know how to sign in to websites and search things, and I find it hard to believe that many Americans can't use a cell phone

[SERIOUS] What are your predictions for 2026? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Life is truly so unfair when it comes to kids. Like you seem to have thought all this out, and even have blood tests to monitor shit. Then there are people like me who was crossing my fingers praying that I wasn't the tiny percentage that would end up with a pregnancy after even using a condom and/or using other birth control measures. I applaud your efforts, I hope you find everything you wish for when it comes to having children. 17-25 I just remember being worried all the time.

Senate votes to curb military action in Venezuela in rare Trump rebuke in c/politics@lemmy.world

Yeah, which would require 67 senators to override.

Can you get 38% of Republicans to not vote for attacking another country; my guess is no

Or just cut the insurance companies out all together, put the funds into an account to provide healthcare for those in need, and then demand the hospitals and pharmaceutical companies make their prices reasonable or we ignore their patents and allow other companies to make their drugs and sell at competitive prices. (The government making our own generic versions wouldn't hurt competitive pricing either).

Kristi Noem calls actions leading up to ICE shooting ‘an act of domestic terrorism’ in c/news@lemmy.world
[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Looking at responses to this makes me feel we should start making pro dictatorship pro democracy tallys. Right now we have sh.itjust.works falling just behind lemmy.org as being the largest supporters of dictatorship. With 0% of lemmy.org so far believing the president of the United States legally cannot convict someone of crimes.

Judge Harris clearly had the authority to, uhh... Um. Well stop bringing reason to the conversation. Biden should have just acted like a dictator so we didn't have a dictatorship!... Wait ugh why doesn't any of this work?

I was trying to throw together some quick items to have something for dinner later. Some penne was left, some rotini was left, had some hot sausage I meant to use for a pizza the other day, but the spouse didn't want sausage that day, whatever, make a quick dish.

Cook the bottom of the box penne and rotini, throw the sausage in a pan, season/brown in, throw it into the pot of drained pasta.

Take the sausage juice/fat and add flour to it to start a roux. Everything seems good, poor in the last of the milk.. wait, was that thick. Crap it smells off, check the jug, best by January 7th. Son of a b, can't get that sausage fat back to start over, and the milk is gone. Looking for liquids because I don't have any broth or such in the pantry. Ugh

linux based video recording (lemmy.world)
 

Old cameras but they have been sitting.

What can I use to record and ensure the data is saved locally. Nothing serious, just chickens being accused of hurting plants when they are monitored. I just want to catch whatever it is (deer? Etc?) eating it so I can have evidence it isn't them

Assistance/Advice: Reinforcement for a 20x10ft area (lemmy.world)

Basic: 20ft x 10ft chicken coop being attacked by loose blue pit bulls. (Weight 60,80 lbs malle and female). I'm trying to address the problem by finding the owners and what not but I first saw them 3 weeks ago. Tried to break in and I told them to stop, they listened and left. They came back today between 2-4pm and broke in and the one rooster that was there (missexed at birth) fought them off, died doing so. It is a very low gauge wire surround the pen, chickens aren't to strong. After the situation I reinforced the entrance where they broke in with higher(lower) gauge wire to about 2.5 ft it's what I had available. They came back at 11pm and broke in above it. I had to let one of the dogs out of the door so they could leave. I don't wish to shoot the dogs, and am dealing with it on other fronts... I was hoping maybe someone had cheap ideas I could use to reinforce the pen in case they come back before the issue is sorted. As a gun owner, I never want guns to be the answer

Birthday Gift for a smart 6 year old girl (lemmy.world)
 

Would prefer it to not be "hair" 'makeup" girlish oriented, but rather something challenging for her mind. I am her Uncle, and would like something maybe aimed at DIY outside of Lego if you know what I mean. Budget is small, maybe 39.99? Can move either way if needed

Advice, much needed as a 36 y/o male with no kids

GPD Win4 -bazzite (lemmy.world)
 

I haven't used bazzite before but was looking into handhelds for my spouse and was curious if anyone has installed bazzite on a GPD Win 4, I heard some kinks hadn't been worked out with SteamOS on that hardware so I was curious about people's experiences. Or rather is that hardware more than needed? Would she be better off with a unit that comes with SteamOS for cheaper as it runs everything you have thrown at it?

The article left me with more questions than answers but at least it is an attempt.

For one, is a single axel propelling the entire rig at that point?

If it is common knowledge that shutting a garage door with a running ICE vehicle inside will kill you, why do you think so many people think 1 billion ICE vehicles aren't bad in the atmosphere? (lemmy.world)
 

"But tires"

Ban all vehicles over 5000lbs to start without a specialized license and extremely heavy fees to have them. EVs are dropping in weight daily, ICE vehicles have been increasing in weight to dodge policies. One is a means to an end, the other is a means to profit.

Profit for few vs humanity's existance.. which should we choose?

How much water do you use in the average month? (lemmy.world)
 

Water Usage - My power/water company popped up showing my water usage from December 2023 vs 2024, it claims I used 24 gallons last year and 13 gallons this December. That can't be right... how much water do you use each month?

I fill water for chickens outside, water two small garden plots, obviously dishes, showers, toilet, bidet, and the washer machine should be using a lot more than that...

The article seems to be shittily written in my opinion but I figure if you watch the video (about a minute) it will get the point across.

My question lies in, do you think this will benefit the health of the people moving forward, or do you fear it being weaponized to endorse or threaten companies to comply with the mention of Kennedy being tied to its future as mentioned in the end of the article
