  • Orzo (rice shaped pasta) and peanut butter, its ultra-dense camping food, never need to make more than a small bowl.

  • What profound statement has stuck with you over the years?

  • The state plant of Ohio, it has a very distinct seed (about the size of a walnut with a light spot on top) and its the namesake of half the sports teams from the state.

    You can also make confectionaries that look like the (DYI Resses peanutbutter cups) and they are fuckin delicious, PM me if you want the recipie.

  • Trump administration freezes $2.2 billion in grants to Harvard over campus activism

  • Yah... After Nixon closing the Boston naval shipyard in retaliation for not voting for him, Massachusettes has done a fairly good job at isolating itself from federal shenanigans.

    They will have a rough time when the dept of education gets completely doge'd but they will fair better than many other places because this is not their first rodeo.

  • What subreddit are you trying to replace on Lemmy that needs pumping up?

    Jump

  • Most of the video game subs, BG3 is active enough, but I like Tribes and EvE online and their subs are sorta dead. I know niche titles wont have as much discussion, but representation would be nice.

  • Trump Orders Four Mile Military Parade for His 79th Birthday

    Jump

  • Clear out the parking lot around The Ellipse and have them drive around that. Make sure he is facing away from the center so he cant see them circle around, and just keep going until he is tuckered out and gets tucked into bed.

  • What are your last-minute purchases before tariff hell begins?

    Jump

  • I had some DYI hackable computer kits (ClockworkPI) that I orderd last year, both of them arrived in the last few weeks. Im very glad they made it through customs before most of this shit gets enacted.

  • Happy thoughts my dude.

    Japan is sending us some new cherry trees for our birthday. (I know its more complicated than that, but take the little moments when they happen)

    Edit, 3 hours, I cant read clocks...

    Jump

  • Thank you, you are a gentleman and a scholar.

  • Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) just began a filibuster - Live Stream

    Jump

  • I guess it is in a traditional sense, but they are very infrequent these days due to the senates rules and their collective lazyness.

    IIRC the current version of the filibuster is a combination of two rules (procedural rules of the senate, not laws).

    1. Votes on bills cant be done while a senator is talking.
    2. You cant force them to give up their speaking time (which is how ever long they want it to be) unless 60 members of the senate vote to get them to stop.

    Back in the day, you actually had to be talking the entire time, but in the senate's lazyness they changed the rules to streamline the entire process. Someone to just say they are going to filibuster something and they have the vote, to see if the matter gets dropped or not. I think its a squares vs rectangles sorta thing, a filibuster is done with the intent to kill a bill by not allowing the voting process to go forward, this appears to be doing the same before they brought anything to vote on. The outcome is still the same, the senate does nothing.

  • This pokes at one of my biggest gripes with it, if there is a big guy with pearly gates upstairs, and doing good in life is a reward, does that mean you only do good things because your paid? It cheapens the entire philosophy and moral compass they proport to have.

    On that topic. Religions does have philosophy, but it requires more effort than just showing up to what ever service you attend, I personally only know 3 religious people who have even read Aquinas (which is sad, because his work is a good read even if christiantiy aint your jam). For everything else religion is a crutch, its easier to scare kids into not steal things and acting with good-enough morals than it is to plonk a tomb of Plato or Confucius in front of them and tell them there will be a quiz on ethics at dinner.
