While I don't have a problem with executions, the evidentiary standards to prevent innocent deaths make the practice essentially arbitrary. It's better and more affordable to just lock them away forever. Some countries do go so far as to always allow a possibility of parole, but I don't think their methods would translate as well to other nations.

A draft card is nothing more than proving your ssn matches to a living person. It doesn't really change or mean anything. If they start doing physical exams, they're actively going to send people into a meat grinder. With the size and power of the US military, that means a global war is already hot, and nukes are about to fly if they haven't already.

Death penalty on the spot, no exceptions.

Pretty sure the response to that is FAFO.

Looking at Fritos details. They're using calcium hydroxide to create masa, which is probably where you're starting, but then they extrude the mix before frying. That mechanical process affects the corn like kneading does for flour. Baking might not be needed at all.

Paprika or BBQ sauce would probably fill that seasoning gap. I'm wondering if dehydration might work better than baking, could be a 1000% worse though.

It's not even a language issue, it's just complete lack of experience with how the rest of humanity lives.

It means you get a card in the mail that you have to sign. Personally I don't think it means anything other than the government knows where you live. Which doesn't really matter these days. Now if they want everyone to come in for a physical to determine if they can be drafted, we've got a bigger problem. On multiple fronts.

Women tend to dominate care positions, nursing, teaching, and child care. None of them are going to be touched by AI, other than massive head aches caused in teaching kids to lazy to learn. Outside of those, women are in no different position than men when facing automation.

That's a dude the death penalty might be too good for.

Have you seen Oliver North doing the talk show circuit? That's what we do with traitors in the US.

When a government official loses and arbitrary and capricious action lawsuit, it shouldn't just reverse the policy, it should trigger an automatic removal review.

Just wondering if anyone has experience with pouring aluminum or copper on their pottery? We've done melts with glass, but getting ready to try aluminum, and maybe copper if that works out.

WASHINGTON, Feb 3 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday ordering the creation of a sovereign wealth fund within the next year, saying it could potentially buy the short video app TikTok. Trump offered little in the way of detail and it was unclear how such a wealth fund would work. Typically such funds rely on a country's budget surplus to make investments, but the U.S. operates at a deficit. Its creation also would likely require approval from Congress.

Circular saw advice (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago by Skyrmir@lemmy.world to c/tools@lemmy.world

About to be in the market for a new circular saw, just looking for the typical 7.25 blade saw. One thing that has constantly bothered me though is the depth adjustment. Every saw I've ever had used a flip lever on a nut in the back, and that's always been the point of failure. They slip, break, seize or otherwise fail first before anything else on the saw. And it's literally the only setting on a saw that i ever touch beyond changing blades.

So what brand has a reliable depth adjustment?

Saw a post mentioning an old Scottish gentleman that had saved a bottle of whiskey to drink the day Margaret Thatcher died. And I'm quite sure he enjoyed the drink.

So my question to the community, what's the best drink for the day any major politician finally kicks the bucket? Should it be your own favorite spirit, or something to denote the character, and vitriol, of the deceased? Something sweet to enjoy the day, or harsh to remember the bitterness of their character?

I'm trying to plan a shelf for my dining room. Each bottle labeled for who they're waiting for.
