Leopards Ate My Face@lemmy.world•Senate to vote on GOP health care bill that does not extend expiring Obamacare tax creditsEnglish
8·5 days agoIs there, though? The subsidies were government dollars going into private insurance companies in the marketplace. It’s not that insurance rates are skyrocketing, it’s that the government is no longer chipping in. Some people are no longer going to be able to afford insurance, which means lost subscribers.

News@lemmy.world•‘Very unfair’: Trump threatens extra 5% tariff on Mexico over water dispute
112·6 days agoHe’s not even using the pretext of a trade imbalance to justify tariffs now. This goes way beyond his authority, but Congress and the courts have been asleep at the wheel so far.

News@lemmy.world•Grand jury rejects DOJ's attempt to revive fraud case against New York AG Letitia James: Sources
1·9 days agoTrying again would be in character for this DOJ. They went before a grand jury three times to try to indict the guy who threw a sandwich at an ICE agent. After the third no-bill, they switched to charging him with misdemeanors, which don’t require going before a grand jury. (A regular jury tossed those charges at trial.)

TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name@lemmy.world•Klingons are so wholesome
1·11 days agoThat usually works, but not always. The Wheel of Time audiobooks have two narrators. Michael Kramer reads when the POV is from a male character and Kate Reading reads female POVs. They apparently don’t to each other, because they pronounce many names differently. For instance, is the character Moghedien pronounced MOH-gah-deen or moh-GED-ee-in?

2·11 days agoI feel like weekend before Thanksgiving is pretty standard for a mountain with a robust snowmaking system. Natural conditions are still iffy, though, (even with yesterday’s snow), especially on something steep and in the trees.

6·11 days agoI can think of two reasons: they’re either victims or co-offenders. I guess the former is better?

20·11 days agoOur black magic markers ran dry, we had to run out to the store to get more. Give us another week.

Television@piefed.social•What TV series essentially became unwatchable to you after one decision by the writers?
9·12 days agoI remember seeing an interview with Tom Bosley, the actor who played Mr. Cunningham, where he points out that there were more episodes of Happy Days after jumping the shark than before, so it was hardly the death knell for the show.

6·19 days agoI’d say Nog reforms later in the series, but in season 7 he’s still borrowing Sisko’s desk and Martok’s bloodwine without permission.

4·24 days agoThe solar panels also contribute a large amount of drag in thin remaining atmosphere at that altitude, requiring periodic reboosts, which requires fuel deliveries. The drag is substantial enough that the ISS rotates its solar panels to be flat during the night half of orbit to minimize it.
You can look at the flowers, but you can’t pick them.


Ah, that’s how we wound up with reverse Polish notation.
