I saw a post about someone who made sliders (mini hamburgers) and everyone they’d served them to so far liked them. I wish we had more posts like that one. The problem with Lemmy is there is not enough active niche communities for peoples interests. This is one thing Reddit does much better due to the scale of the user base.
It feels like a brief respite every time I stumble on a post like that.
You don’t have to serialize firearms you make* for your own personal use. You also don’t need to register them either*. In fact there’s restrictions on the federal government’s ability to keep a registry of guns. 18 USC 926(a)(3). From a policy perspective it’d just be creating another possession based crime that’s almost impossible to enforce. Because you could just pop a “1” on the side and claim that you sent in your registration paperwork but the government screwed up.
*True for title 1 firearms (most handguns, shotguns, and rifles) not certain other classes like those that machineguns or silencers fall into.
Honestly not sure when. It’s kinda an infamous one, it essentially says you can never introduce hearsay as evidence in a federal court because hearsay is unreliable… unless you fall into one of the 23 exceptions. Or you meet one of the two exceptions in FRE 807.
Tbf a lot make good sense and are just about government written records and making sure you don’t need to find some government official who retired 10 years ago.
803 the exception to the rule barring hearsay which swallows the rule nearly whole.
The thing is that they’ve got teeth. E.g. redistricting, along with the plurality of powers granted to the countless offices across the nation that they hold.
Q: Should (insert political party here) disenfranchise voters for the benefit of (insert political party here)'s political ends?
A: No.
If you have no principles you have nothing.
Don’t hate it.
A blockchain being essentially a public ledger.
It’s a good concept that will doubtlessly have several if not many practical uses. I think any hatred it gets is just because like every new thing hucksters try and brand it as the cure to all ills to make a buck.
YSK call your house rep. They’re more likely to answer. Also call your state reps first. Most issues are handled on a state level, not federal, and state house reps tend to be the most accessible.
Because most haven’t I will actually answer the call of the question. Voting is perhaps the most important way one can voice their opinion. And carries more effect than most words the average man or woman can utter.
The largest argument against these types of stances is that it will create a spoiler effect. This usually operates on the premise that a vote to a candidate is owed and not earned and or that it is impossible to achieve a different outcome besides one of the two establishment candidates. This second premise being the results of people who decry voting 3rd party as useless based on a restriction with no physical or legal basis imposed on our society by our society. There’s nothing stopping people from electing anyone else on the ballot.
If you can acknowledge that we as a society have this power the idea of accepting a lesser evil is weakened. If you vote for a lesser evil you perpetuate the broken system you hate. In your example Gaza, if someone feels that the issue is so important it merits a principled stance how can they not take the stance?
It’s a matter of pragmatism vs principles.

I’ll answer for them. Anyone pushing the view points on the matters you desire. A vote for third party is better than not voting at all, as people will just lump you in with people who can’t be bothered to vote otherwise.
That said what matters most is the down ballot. Look up the candidate that most align with your views and vote for them.
I see both. Even moderate conservative view point tend to get straw manned as being MAGA. Heck I see left leaning people who just didn’t like that Biden was running get bashed for suggesting the Democrats run a different candidate. Now I see the same on anything less the pro Kamala.
If Harris anonymously posted a self criticism on here I wouldn’t be surprised if people called her MAGA. That’s not to say everyone here acts that way but a vocal percentage does.
Teal, it has the best qualities of both blue and green
Never heard of beggars night. People seem to find Halloween a satisfactory name where I’ve been.
Late to the party, but if you’re in Europe I’d check out these they’re from a Finnish outdoors company and I’ve found them comfortable. They’re pretty complimentary on an average or fit build and the material feels good against the skin. (I can not unfortunately comment on if the underwear is gay or not).

Where I’m from Halloween you go around and ask for candy, the historical implication being you’d vandalize the property of or otherwise harass in costume anyone who refused. Which followed Cabbage Night, where you would TP people’s houses under the cover of darkness.
Yea, didn’t see it going this way either.
Great question. In theory/practice you can just shut up from square one. But asserting your rights by doing so in clear unambiguous terms for is advisable. Judges understand someone saying “I wish to invoke my right against self incrimination as protected in the 5th amendment” better than the do pure silence.
7th amendment applies to civil suits. Judges may when common law doesn’t govern. But that’s limited. And criminal defendants must consent to bench trial by not contesting any of the facts.
Politics aside. The court is not going to grant bail to anyone accused of first degree murder who is a flight risk. And given the current narrative seems to be that he shot a man in NYC and was found several states away I’d say they’d consider him a flight risk.
