Unfortunately, bullets fired straight up need to… come down. And the wind means it won’t always land in the same spot.

I still remember some idiot fired a pistol or something straight up at a local fireworks show a few years ago. A little boy died. It was really sad. I don’t think they ever found the guy who did it, either.

… I just googled it. That was ten years ago. Dang…

They’re not banned for cheating (this time). They’re banned for invading Ukraine.

If that’s not remorse, I don’t know what is.

If Lemmy had gold, I’d give it to you.

And parsecs measure distance, not time, and yet here we are.

There’s plenty of spacewalks in Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels. They don’t have gravity there and instead have to use thrusters or magnetized boots.

Ah, that’s what you meant. A presidential nominee will typically pick someone who’s different enough from them (but that they still fundamentally agree with) that people who felt underrepresented by the presidential nominee pick will feel represented by the vice presidential nominee pick. That’s the general logic behind who becomes the VP pick.

That’s exactly what happened in 1800. Both Jefferson and Burr, who were from the same party, tied in the electoral college vote. Some people in the party didn’t like Jefferson, but they but didn’t like the opposing party even more.

Each electoral college member got two votes. So all the electoral college members who were part of what would be the winning party ended up casting one vote for Burr and one vote for Jefferson, resulting in a tie. (Due to slow communication in those days, they all assumed someone else was going to be the one who would cast the tie-breaking vote.)

The tie went to the House of Representatives to break it, as is specified in the Constitution. Unfortunately, neither Burr nor Jefferson got the majority vote needed even after thirty-five separate votes. (Note that, in the US House of Representatives and the Senate, a “majority vote” is not “more than 50%”. Typically, you must get 2/3 of the votes in order to win.) On the thirty-sixth vote, Alexander Hamilton managed to convince some others to vote for Jefferson, and he got the majority vote he needed and became president.

No. There’s a reason we amended the Constitution not to do that. The system prior to the 1804 election created a deadlock between two candidates that took the House of Representatives (which is responsible for breaking said deadlocks) thirty-six attempts to try to break the tie. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelfth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution

I think OP is simply cheering that they want Russia’s economy to crumble.

This power grid thing is only a small part of their economy, and OP wants more bad stuff to happen to their economy.

I remember Codename: Kids Next Door had an entire episode about what goes on inside a dishwasher.

Ah, found it! https://knd.fandom.com/wiki/Operation:_R.E.C.R.U.I.T.

Now where’s that comic…

Ah, found it!

I just call them communities. That’s what I’ve seen others use.

FYI, there was no “conversation so far”. That was the first thing I’ve ever asked “Rufus”.

Once you have mint growing in your garden/yard

you will never not have mint growing in your garden/yard/neighbors yard.

I love how the mint just spreads from your yard to your neighbor’s yard.

I knew I’d heard of a site that did this already. Couldn’t remember the name, though. Thanks!
