71 of the 76 bills that Abbott vetoed passed through both chambers with a veto-proof majority, or more than two-thirds support.

What is a veto-proof majority if he can still veto them?

It seems strange that they want to reconvene to deal with them instead of just making them actually veto-proof. I guess it’s probably about making minimal changes to the constitution.

The tough-on-crime people should really be pushing for the death penalty here.

I had pretty much the same experience finding the virtual memory settings on a win11 machine the other day. Same 20 year old dialog, now buried 5 more layers deep.

Just going to look for a picture of her, and… yep.

I don’t disagree exactly, but I’d argue that you’re contributing to the project even if you’re just reporting bugs or helping others with it on e.g. Lemmy.

I could see avoiding all of that pragmatically in order to use some obscure, critical software, but not something you use every day and for which there are reasonable alternatives.

Interesting. In Canada security only checks your boarding pass, and they check ID at the gate as you’re boarding.

It seems logical if you want to verify that the right people are getting on the plane.

I usually just get my boarding pass by email, which doesn’t require ID, and at the kiosk you can just do it with your reservation number.

It’s been a while since I’ve flown from the US, but in Canada you don’t show ID until you’re boarding. Is don’t remember it being different, but I guess something must have changed?

When Michael O’Leary has a chance to save money, he definitely doesn’t give a fuck about your military industrial complex and its intellectual property.

Fun fact: he supposedly turned down the chance to host The Apprentice, because he’s actually capable of running a business instead.

Americans are basically winning because they aren’t suffering the most

I have a prediction

We’ll be watching from Canada

It’s kind of absurd. When you buy a TV, the bloated adware at least helps lower the price. Imagine paying extra for it.

Oh it’s not wrong, it’s just bad timing. And he’s very sorry about Putin’s soldiers dying.

If it makes a sound you don’t recognise, use the gun.

That’s a pretty strong motivation for ES to keep these prisoners well away from any of the really horrible shit going on.

They are also probably worth more alive than dead. I have to assume ES is being well compensated.

That’s right. Where I am it’s a tax scam to support dealerships.

If you trade in a $10k car on a $20k one, you pay sales tax on $10k. If you sell your car to someone else for $10k and then buy the $20k car, you pay sales tax on $20k and the new owner of your car pays sales tax on $10k.

In America, tipping isn’t really optional.
