We all are a bit off. Anyhow, if you wish to read my take on it, I posted about what the constitution has to say about t6his, and why the Republicans ignored the order.

Nullification of States Rights by presidential edict, and placed in a spending bill removes a tool the Republicans have used for many years.

But let us not believe that insanity is limited to Republicans, or Americans. The world shows that in a world full of Kooks, the USA isn't even remotely the worst. The world has a lot of latter day Visigoths. They are always at the gates, and we must decide if we let them in or not.

There was Palestine. That's a distinction without a difference.

And just look at the beautiful Genocide they've created there!

I'm not siding with anyone here. I dislike all religious ethnostates because they always go wrong at some point. The only thing I like is when they become more secular, like Iran was before the USA tampered with it. I am siding against genocide. If Israel can stop doing a genocide, I can stop disliking Israel for doing genocide and just focus on their religious oppression.

Vs. the Koreans what Honda offers isn't so much more as less, specifically fewer vehicle fires due to failures of the fuel supply line or injector bodies.

It will be interesting to see if Korea has reversed this with their EVs, but first Japan has to actually sell EVs, and second time has to pass.

"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

A lot of reading to catch up on what powers are delegated to the federal government, and plenty of interpretation has happened along the way.

Now, the legal question is why have Republicans ignored this order? It sets a real precedent, that's why. It nullifies States Rights. Republicans have long used states rights, sometimes successfully, sometimes not, to do things like nullify restrictions on gun ownership, immigration, and Devil's lettuce. States rights have been used to modify discrimination against the elderly and disabled, and limited the ability of rape victims to sue in federal courts.

States Rights is also used as a Dog Whistle for a number of other things, like desegregation, same sex marriage, and reproductive rights. A lot other this rhetoric was used by the Dixiecrats, who en masse moved to the Republican Party when the Democrats became too liberal on segregation.

So to the issue at hand, States Rights is an important tool in the Republican Party's toolbox. One they wish to not have nullified. And a lot of states rights ideology makes sense no matter what party you are in. After all, the tenth amendment was put in there for a reason.

And despite the years of obsequious Marching to Trump's demands, at least some Republicans understand that Trump won't be in office forever, and a Democrat will eventually land in the office, with all the powers Trump declared as his own.

Wikipedia has a nice writeup, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Honda is showing the beginning of the end by selling cars not designed by them, so maybe you won't have to wait too long for their come-uppance. Their only full sized EV is a GM product and they didn't even bother making any interior changes so it doesn't even look or feel like a Honda inside. It sounds like this can only be an improvement at this point.

It's so weird given that Honda was the undisputed champ of making a good simple reliable car in the 1990s. How did they get here? Did they hire execs from Sony?

Oh yeah, Gemini is great!

I finally just had to block the AI search results on Google because they are so much worse than worthless every single time. The "citations" linked never say what Google claims they say. Every time I search for information on something I know about already I can see that Gemini doesn't know shit.

Russia loves cutting cables, we should give them more of what they love... at home.

I'm sure they'd find a way to export their porn via other means, so nothing of value would be lost.

Actually, I'd miss ÐYоÐÐÐон-98 but I could live with it.

Yes, I know that isn't readable. I just don't care any more. Besides, there's no way to make it readable here.

Some of us are weird.

Then again, there is something a little off about a person who. determines Americans are universally "weird" based on a rando posting on Slashdot who might be from anywhere on this globe.

If you wish to decent your universal condemnation that's a bit strange as well, shows some fascinating prejudices, and zero critical thinking.

The autopen has been around longer old sleepy Joe, and has been used by various presidents. https://www.msn.com/en-us/poli...

Thomas Jefferson used Autopen.

I am surprised how many people seem to think it is something new. There was a brief kerfuffle on the early 2000's when Democrats were angry because G W Bush used Autopen. The administration at that time declared a statement that intent was the metric, not the specific signature. Which makes sense to me.

The latter exists anywhere there is the former, but there are good and obvious reasons why aircraft should have to be highly regulated.

A part made with fiberglass which was somehow made with a resin that was as heat affected as ABS would have the exact same problem as the part that failed. The problem isn't the nature of the CF, the problem is that it can't do its job if the plastic melts.

Unfortunately there's no chance of appealing to Mr. Netanyahu to tear down that wall. There's also little to no chance of him being dragged off to the Hague while Israel can stand in America's shadow and thumb its nose at the UN.

Oh look, RWNJ doesn't understand asymmetric warfare. We'll add that to the long, long list of things it willfully doesn't understand so it can avoid learning anything.

History did not start October 7th. You are ignoring at least decades of history, if not millennia.

You mean of the nation murdering Palestinians and stealing their land since the 1940s? Yeah, self-defense is so horrible. Why don't you look at the comparative death toll sometime if you don't want to be a Zionist tool. Make sure you look at what it was on October 6th, you genocide-supporting clown.

The cooperation was not general knowledge because there was a veil of secrecy not penetrated until this millennium.

The trains running to Auschwitz were tracked by a special guarded IBM customer site facility at 22 Pawia in Krakow. The millions of punch cards the Nazis in Poland required were obtained exclusively from IBM, including one company print shop at 6 Rymarska Street across the street from the Warsaw Ghetto. The entire Polish subsidiary was overseen by an IBM administrative facility at 24 Kreuz in Warsaw.

The exact address and equipment arrays of the key IBM offices and customer sites in Nazi-occupied Poland have been discovered. But no one has ever been able to locate an IBM facility at, or even near, Auschwitz. Until now. Auschwitz chief archivist Piotr Setkiewicz finally pinpointed the first such IBM customer site.

The newly unearthed IBM customer site was a huge Hollerith Büro. It was situated in the I.G. Farben factory complex, housed in Barracks 18, next to German Civil Worker Camp 7, about two kilometers from Auschwitz III, also known as Monowitz Concentration Camp.

IBM's cooperation greatly enhanced the Nazis' ability to exterminate Jews and failing to hold them responsible for their exceptionally willing cooperation is a strong indictment against western society's worship of capitalism.
