So, what is an appropriate amount of cash to have on hand for bail for this sort of thing? (Asking for a friend.)

Double Plug Experiment

Jump

Null User Object @lemmy.world 1mo ago

The nearly perfectly symmetrical shape makes me think its due to the electromagnetic fields when current is passing through the socket to whatever is plugged in, but I have no idea why such a small amount would have such a dramatic effect on the mold.

They're clothes pins, for hanging your wet laundry on a clothes line to dry.

Hence, "without clothes"

“As law enforcement professionals, we are held to higher standards of conduct — both in and out of uniform,” Giordano said. “When we fall short, we must be accountable, and we will not tolerate actions which undermine the trust the community has placed in the Department.”

That's how you lead a police department! Every other police chief should take notes and resign if that can't hold themselves to this standard.

House Democrats call for commission led by JD Vance to oust Trump

Jump

Null User Object @lemmy.world 1mo ago

My hairbrained theory is that Vance and the cabinet know that they need to invoke the 25th, but they're waiting until after Trump's 2nd term is 2 years in.

Reasoning: As VP, Vance would replace Trump (that's just how the system works), ...and... If Vance finishes out less than 2 years of Trump's term, then he's eligible to run for reelection in the next 2 elections, for a total of 10 whole years.

Combine that with how rigged the system already is in favor of Republicans, and how much they're trying to beef up the rigging, they're probably confident that they can actually get the full 10 years.

Add 10 more years of further rigging the system and they'll be locked in permanently.

So, put January 6th, 2027 on your calendar. If they can keep Trump from completely imploding until then, and if I'm right, the days and weeks after that are going to be interesting.

That was just one example. There are many other topics worthy of serious investigative journalism. This was not one of them. This is just tabloid gossip "journalism."

Nobody cares. People that don't care about Bitcoin don't care. People that do care about Bitcoin don't care. Nobody cares.

What an absolute waste of investigative journalism time and resources when everyone that's not in the Epstein files is screaming for those to be investigated and the DOJ to be pressured to properly release the properly redacted files.

JFC. The house is on fire, but lets go find the neighbors lost dog.

Scientists invented a fake disease. AI told people it was real

Because she works in the medical field, she decided to create a condition related to health and hit on the name bixonimania because it “sounded ridiculous”, she says. “I wanted to be really clear to any physician or any medical staff that this is a made-up condition, because no eye condition would be called mania — that’s a psychiatric term.”

If that wasn’t sufficient to raise suspicions, Osmanovic Thunström planted many clues in the preprints to alert readers that the work was fake. Izgubljenovic works at a non-existent university called Asteria Horizon University in the equally fake Nova City, California. One paper’s acknowledgements thank “Professor Maria Bohm at The Starfleet Academy for her kindness and generosity in contributing with her knowledge and her lab onboard the USS Enterprise”. Both papers say they were funded by “the Professor Sideshow Bob Foundation for its work in advanced trickery. This works is a part of a larger funding initiative from the University of Fellowship of the Ring and the Galactic Triad”.

Even if readers didn’t make it all the way to the ends of the papers, they would have encountered red flags early on, such as statements that “this entire paper is made up” and “Fifty made-up individuals aged between 20 and 50 years were recruited for the exposure group”.
