That's really neat!
At 28:23 somebody forgot to enter the year of the P. Diddy sample. It just says "(year)". Lol fuck P. Diddy.
This is a better fit for !politicalhumor@lemmy.world. I'm going to remove this one due to the community "no politics" rule.
Go team Burrowing Owl! They had a good showing last year. This year it's time to go all the way!
Ah, gotcha. I misunderstood.
I immediately recognized that top pic from the Springfield Armory museum. It's definitely worth a visit for anyone passing through central Massachusetts.
Andrew Jackson was also a bastard, especially for his treatment of natives. But I meant Johnson.
It is complicated because the rules are different in each state. Also, Trump was convicted in New York state but he resides and votes in Florida.
For out-of-state convictions, Florida defers to the other state's rules. New York would allow Trump to vote if he resided there because he is not currently in prison, so Trump can vote in Florida legally.

Not a weapons expert, but I imagine a 2000 lb guided bomb could fuck up a building pretty well. The tool ignored the whole "while minimizing collateral damage" part, though.
While W. sucked in many ways, there is no way he is the worst. Off the top of my head I can easily think of four better contenders: Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan (both guilty of pro-slavery fuckery before the Civil War), Andrew Johnson (fought to let the Confederates off the hook after the war and opposed the 14th amendment), and Donald Trump (first president to be impeached twice, first to be convicted of a felony, and may be remembered by future historians as the spark that ignites the next Civil War).
Go big on reflective clothing. Rather than having small reflective patches on your clothes or bike, you can get jackets where the whole garment is made of reflective fabric. When a car's headlights hit you that jacket will light up like the sun.
Ortlieb's high-vis panniers are similar.
Seems like the world has moved away from that
Assuming that the world was once just, and recently changed to become unjust, is completely flawed. History provides endless examples of people with power and money doing horrible things and facing little or no consequences.
Oh, I completely get it. It's a battle of delayed gratification versus instant gratification. I can take care of business now and have stress-free fun later, or I can have fun now and let future-me deal with the consequences.
The composition and lighting sure draw the eye to certain... features.
The first space burial occurred in 1992 when the NASA Space Shuttle Columbia (mission STS-52) carried a sample of Gene Roddenberry's cremated remains into space and returned them to Earth.
Excellent choice.
Smooth, predictable operation requires forethought, planning, and willingness to stick to a process. It's not nearly as fun as living in the moment and improvising.
Can we get a NSFW flag, please? This literally almost became an uncomfortable conversation with my coworkers.

Judge to audit if conspiracy theorist’s bankruptcy auction was fair, which could delay buying process for satire site
>“We’re all going to an evidentiary hearing and I’m going to figure out exactly what happened,” the judge, Christopher Lopez, said in an emergency hearing on Thursday afternoon. “No one should feel comfortable with the results of this auction.”
Oh bullshit.
Midnight voting delivered the first results in the 2024 US election
Dixville Notch, NH has returned the first results in the 2024 US election. The town voted at midnight and only six ballots were cast, so tallying the results didn't take long. In the presidential race the results were evenly split, with 3 votes each for Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.

And now we get the first spot of color on the map, courtesy of Associated Press:
Edit: AP has now removed the blue squares in New Hampshire from their map.
Are webcams still a thing?
The recent post in the Wikipedia community about the Trojan Room coffee pot got me thinking: are there any interesting webcams still running on the web? If so, do you have any favorites?
Aside from my local ski area I didn't think I could name a single webcam still running.

Brine pool
This is not specifically mentioned in the Wikipedia article, but one brine pool in the Gulf of Mexico is nicknamed the Jacuzzi of Despair: https://www.discovery.com/exploration/Jacuzzi-of-Despair-Deadly-Lake-Gulf-of-Mexico
