This decision really raises my opinion of Biden so much. God damn do I love that man, he is truly a great person who dedicated his life to serve his country, literally. He honestly had a great term given the circumstances, and the only thing he probably should have done differently is to not run for reelection to begin with. But he seemed to genuinely believe he could win and stave off Trump. Now that that seemed impossible, he makes a very courageous decision that a lot of people probably wouldn't have made and puts the country ahead of his ego. Lots of respect from me, and I hope this reinvigorates the democratic base and makes the future brighter for all of us.

Thanks Bill, what a guy.

It's actually the exact opposite to what he says. In the US you can do almost anything you want with human remains, while in Europe it's much more restricted. In Denmark for example, you have to have the body/ashes buried in a licensed cemetery. You can't keep the ashes yourself, you can't bury them in your backyard, you can't spread them at some random special place (except for the sea in rare circumstances).

It's definitely harder to decay the orbit into the sun directly than it is to get to escape velocity. But to play devil's advocate, there is probably a way to get them into the sun while being a similar cost to escape velocity. All you need to do is burn prograde to a super high aphelion, ride all the way out there to Pluto or whatever and then do a small retrograde burn to bring your perihelion inside the sun's photosphere. When you then get back towards the sun years later you would slam into it with a sick velocity that I think would be worth the decades-long wait.

This is some real fascist shit, attacking educational institutions and violating first amendment rights.

Is there not some unconstitutionality in making the language of a bill so restricted that it's clearly aimed at a single person?

As someone who does know about this field, and absolute despise Musk, that's not quite true. SpaceX is very successful thanks to help from the US government, and despite the influence of Musk, but also because they are a team of very competent people who have actually innovated and pushed the boundaries of launch vehicles. To say they have nothing going for them and are being propped up by the government is not at all accurate, and they have been much more succesful than traditional government contractors.

The view from the top of those dunes. I went there in the beginning of this year, would absolutely recommend it!

I really hope this is gonna be a landslide election and it's possible for the Dems to take a page out of Waltz' book and pass a whole bunch of meaningful legislation, which will help carry on support for the Dems next election as well. But oh well, I might be too optimistic.

Is Martial law ever declared in a non-corrupt, power-grabbing way?

Did you not read the post, idiot? She's a woman.

Tbf, the US tried the actor president twice, and they turned out to be the two worst presidents in modern US history, so it might not always be the best idea to elect the "outsider".

Because he's arguing in bad faith. He's removing blame from the ease of access to guns in a disingenuous, JAQing off way.

This is putting heavy pressure on Tesla, Scandinavia is a huge market for them. And if the strike spreads to Germany, which it very well could, it could mean the cease of operation of the Model Y factory in Berlin, which would be devastating to them. I hope Musk manages to fuck up enough that he's ousted from day to day control of the company.

First they came for Pepe, but I didn't speak up cause I didn't post Pepe memes. Then they came for Twitter. But I didn't speak up cause I wasn't on Twitter. Then they came for my Doge, but there was no one left to speak for me.

Or some more smart joke like that.

The best part is the dependency on the function is_odd.

46% of republicans, but close to 0% of non-republicans, so it's less than 46% overall support. But obviously one person in support is one too many.

The only difference is the name of the emoji, the image itself is identical. There are also three Norwegian flag emojis for example, all identical.

Who's tran?

Me rn. Yeah I'm definitely here to contribute to a better future, not just wanting to look at shitposts on something other than the official Reddit app.
