With two candidates fighting over a mere 538 Electoral College votes, a tie scenario is more than possible. It’s actually kind of surprising there has only been one tie election so far, in 1800, between Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr.

Was really exciting seeing ferrari move up through the field towards the top 3. If that safety car hadn't been called, ferrari could've gone for soft tires and put pressure to get both drivers on the podium
Hopefully ferrari improves on this and keeps the momentum going
That would've been a huge risk, earlier this race you saw that the mediums only lasted about 17 laps, and they had almost 24 to go if they chose soft. It's honestly amazing Russel was able to keep the soft from degrading for the rest of the race, but it was a huge risk and probably a bit of luck. Even Russel said it was ambitious
Definitely this one. Simple design and the fine point is so smooth to write with

By far my favorite pen
You can reinstall a driver without ever touching the command line on windows.
Can you do that with Linux? Idk maybe on some distros but the default would just be to uninstall the package from terminal.
Pretending these are equivalent is not cool and it just drives new users away for not understanding things the community takes for granted. It takes effort to learn the terminal if even tech-savvy windows users may not even use the command line
Personally I believe that unless you're able to do a slackware or gentoo installation, you're not ready for Linux.
/s but only kinda
Linux users need to have a higher level of technical literacy than windows users. It just can't be avoided unless you're okay with potentially reinstalling your os at some point. The bar has been lowered a lot, but because other companies refuse to play nice with Linux, it'll always be there.
If you're okay with that tradeoff, then yeah Linux is great. But a lot of people aren't even aware of it and it causes a lot of pain
I mean, does it really matter?
Even if the Democrats are blaming Trump for the shutdown, what do you think would be Trump's next move after Congress refuses to fund the government?
I'm glad someone is saying this.
While I understand people don't want to give Trump any wins, choosing the shut the government down is the wrong hill to die on. Given the chaos that DOGE has caused, and the executive branch throwing around their power completely unchecked, shutting down the government would plunge america into chaos.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if Trump had a plan to frame the government shutdown as "government inefficiency" and use it to grab much more executive power.
This is absolutely absurd. People have a right to a lawful assembly.
Anyone supporting this guy is insane. Literally trying to become an emperor
Zelda botw. Lots of piano mixes on youtube
Mustard on lasagna. Not even fancy mustard, just the yellow deli stuff.
It's been a staple in our family for about 10 years after my sister tried it as a joke
That is also usually high in sodium, and is processed. Probably will skip ham, I don't see value over turkey bacon
Definitely lacking on mixing in mushrooms with my foods. I'll be looking into this, thanks!
I'm not very impressed by those studies stating salt isn't bad. Either weak evidence, or odd choice of framing the data. Regardless, I'm trying to stick to the FDA and WHO recommendations to lower my sodium intake.
I like the idea of adding other fats to chicken to make them tastier though. I'm going to try to see if I can come up with anything for chicken and breakfast
non-processed meat for breakfast
Hello everyone!
I'm looking for ideas for a non-processed meat that goes well with breakfast. In the past, I had bacon, eggs, and maybe some oats or a salad. I cut the traditional bacon, and now have either beans or turkey bacon as my "breakfast meat". But, turkey bacon is still really high in sodium (and is a processed meat) and beans just don't satisfy that meat craving sometimes. And substituting a different meat has been kinda hard; chicken breast, while unprocessed, just doesn't go well with breakfast.
So, I just wanted to know what other people do for breakfast, if they struggle with this dilemna, and any feedback the community has.
Thanks!
Just wondering, what qualifies as cheap for you?
What does the conscription look like in daily life? Do people just naturally transition from military life to civilian life, same as going from school to working?
What kind of purpose does the military serve over there? Is seeing soldiers doing civilian stuff a common thing?
My perspective has always been that the military works overseas, completely seperate from most Americans daily life
What's your opinion on mandatory military service?
This question was inspired by a post on lemmy.zip about lowering the minimum age to purchase firearms in the US, and a lot of commeters brought up military service and training as a benchmark to normal civilians, and how if guns would be prevalent, then firearm training should be more common.
For reference, I live in the USA, where the minimum age to join the military is 18, but joining is, for the most part, optional. I also know some friends that have gone through the military, mostly for college benefits, and it has really messed them up. However, I have also met some friends from south korea, where I understand military service is mandatory before starting a more normal career. From what I've heard, military service was treated more as a trade school, because they were never deployed, in comparison to American troops.
I just wanted to know what the broader Lemmy community thought about mandatory military service is, especially from viewpoints outside the US.
Hey at least comedians have plenty of material
What happens if there’s a tie in 2024? Be ready for a ‘contingent election’
With two candidates fighting over a mere 538 Electoral College votes, a tie scenario is more than possible. It’s actually kind of surprising there has only been one tie election so far, in 1800, between Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr.
If Kamala and trump both tie the electoral college, which it is looking like a possibility, a new president would be chosen by the new Congress on Jan 6th. Scary to think about
Moving to Michigan this winter
Howdy! I am planning to move to the southeast part of Michigan around this new years. I am excited to get out of my state and see what other parts of the USA have to offer. But one thing that really worries me, and that I wanted to reach out about, is the winters in the north.
I'm moving from Texas, so for the most part, snow or ice is rare, and it usually meant the whole city shut down for a few days if it happened that year. And now I need to coordinate a moving truck up to Michigan, which from what I know, snow is to be expected? Do y'all have any tips for dealing with this?
I'll also be moving into a suburb area, is there anything I need to know about that? I've heard shoveling snow is kinda important, is that true? How often do you need to shovel snow?
Thanks y'all
Meal Prep Ideas for this Weekend?
Hello everyone! I wanted to start meal prepping this month for lunch. I'm trying to cut down on my sodium, and I found my deli sandwiches are a big source of that. This weekend I'll be trying to make a sandwich from shredded chicken. At the moment I'll be using this recipe: https://livesimply.me/prep-day-how-to-make-easy-crock-pot-shredded-chicken-using-a-whole-chicken/
If anyone has any meal prep ideas for lunch, please share! I am tired of cooking everyday, I want thr convenience of a quick microwave meal without all the salt and extra stuff.
