We vote in new taxes for ourselves all the time. They act like it doesnt come out of our pockets all the time. Its just a nonsense argument.

The prevalence of “no on prop 40” here in CA was wild. Especially since its such a no brainer of a proposition it doesnt need a counter campaign. The big argument against it is that if they can tax billionaires, they could tax the normals too. Its so out of touch the campaign forgot that normal people get taxed all the fucking time. We literally vote for new taxes. Its such a wild concept for the rich.

Technology@lemmy.world•Old, Polluting Jet Engines Are Being Scavenged to Power Data CentersEnglish
61·2 days agoI interviewed for a company working on this project. Their goal is still jet fuel but with greatly increased efficiency by replacing components traditionally driven by the shaft (such as the intake and compressor) with electrically driven systems that in turn take load off of the generator. The net increase in efficiency more than balances out the cost of the electrically driven components, thus increasing the efficiency of the entire system.
Feels like an engineering wet dream, but i was willing to take their money and tell them how smart they sounded lol predictably, the project is waiting on more funding

131·2 days agoHonestly in my 35 years of living i have yet to meet an asshole Sikh. I used to carry around “all religion bad” but those guys have done a lot to change my view on the subject. Buddhist are usually pretty chill too as long as nobody talks about the lama. It always boils down to some asshat with too much authority deciding they know what God thinks. Thats all religions

6·4 days agoIt feels like a couple weeks ago this was “its contained to one family and there’s been 2 deaths”. Didn’t we just have this arc a few seasons ago?
Okay but it looks like its sitting in a puddle of dirty dishwater on top of a fine dusting of sand. Idk if thats the dish screwing you over or what.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do you do when you can't sleep?English
61·10 days agoIts funny how pretending to sleep can so often turn into sleep. Fake it till you make it.
Honestly they never really stopped touring. I’ve seen them in SF a few times.
Idk if you’ve tried peeing after ejacalating as a man, but the pee doesnt work when the balls are talking. Idk if you’ve got some sort of traumatic injury that interferes with that process, but thats the reality for healthy anatomically intact males.
Semen doesnt come from the bladder.
Tin snips is a poor choice for cutting braided security wire. These are for cutting soft to mild sheet metals, but youre going to struggle with anything tougher than banding steel.
Youd want either the wire cutters above or small bolt cutters for security wire like OP

News@lemmy.world•Ahead of the midterms, Meta has paid at least 29 anti-LGBTQ accounts for their postsEnglish
7·21 days agoHonestly meta has straight porn on it now. They’re not even doing the most basic of vetting. Meta used to be so puritanical about its censorship that you have to assume its deliberate at this point.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Canada to indefinitely bar mental illness as sole reason for access to euthanasiaEnglish
101·28 days agoIdk why there is a debate on a safe and effective way to kill someone. Its inert gas asphyxiation every time. As a welder, its been a threat my entire career. Its scary because its so easy. You go to work, you get a little tired, you doze off, and you die. Thats it. Your body has no way to tell the difference between oxygen, nitrogen, and argon.

2·1 month agoTry Johnny cakes while youre at it. Cornmeal and a pinch of salt, mix in boiling water until you get a thick batter, then fry it up like a pancake. You can add egg or blood as you see fit.
