Oh, the thing Trump called “so bad” on Joe Rogan a couple weeks ago? He said that tariffs are his preferred strategy to force companies to build in the US. Maybe that was just rhetoric and you can’t trust it, but he did say it.

As it stands, CHIPS isn’t going anywhere, so at least Americans won’t be totally fucked.

Same here! I’m Canadian and, while we may have a snap election at any time given the current situation, our next scheduled federal election isn’t for almost a year.

I still find it so baffling that red states are limiting the number of polling places to make it as inconvenient as possible to vote. Surely that reduces the willingness to vote of their own base too. Given the electoral college, jerrymandering, and voter roll purges, you’d think they’d be satisfied with how things are rigged already without resorting to blatant disenfranchisement.

It would be cool for you guys to have a viable third party, so you should try to make that a reality outside of just voting if you can. I’m sure they would appreciate a donation or another volunteer after the election and local efforts are often more meaningful long-term since they help create the grassroots support that leads to national viability.

Welcome to Debian! Listen to @[email protected], that’s the easy advice.

My parents (who are nearly 70-year-old computer users, by the way, and threw away their 2010 Apple laptop in 2015 because it essentially stopped functioning) absolutely don’t have the technical knowledge to do something like this. I think you may be vastly overestimating the average user.

Cuck booth? I just want one site where there are no teenagers, oh my God.

It doesn’t appear that that’s the case, because people on my instance have subscribed to the comm in question and the link still didn’t work. When I formatted the link correctly, it worked. Unless there’s an interoperability bug between Lemmy and Mbin, which is certainly possible.

Your link doesn’t link to the community on my instance, it links to the original instance, so that’s a bit annoying. Maybe that’s why?

I didn’t deny that, it’s in the links I posted. What I deny was that vans were the dominant method after 1941.

Vaguely? I went to look and (since I don’t spend time in racist circles) comment #14 made my mouth actually open in surprise. It’s not vague at all.

They did it throughout the war and not merely at the start? So weird that there’s photographic and video evidence of people being gassed in buildings then.

Edit - Here’s evidence that the Germans used chambers (often called “showers”) from 1941 onwards:

While I’m sure vans were still used for their mobility/convenience and in cases where not many people were to be executed, Germany created extermination camps specifically to kill people (in more ways than just gassing) and those locations contained constructed buildings meant for execution with gas, not vans.

Even a few concentration camps had their own gas chambers, which were not vans, that were used to execute people that could no longer do forced labour.

That doesn’t seem very efficient if you want to gas dozens of people at once, which happened many times.

Curse you, Ea-Nasir!

Cool, now I have to find something else to sync my Obsidian vault to my phone. It just worked! Fuck. =____=

You don’t need a switch if you are bypassing it with a knife or other conductive object, that’s what I’m trying to tell you. A toaster has literally no protection - if you complete the circuit in any way (the intended way or not), the entire path becomes electrified.

Respectfully, that’s not the case. The heating elements always have current supplied to them, but the circuit is open until you complete it by pressing the moving segment down. When you use a metal tool and accidentally touch the side, you complete the circuit.

This is also how people can kill themselves by putting a toaster into a bathtub while they are in it.

No. If it’s plugged in, it’s live. Do not use a metal tool. Also this is a bad idea in general.
