Too bad they won't terrorize the billionaires funding these people. The conservative organization is just a hydra of grifters.

Fun fact, this is like one of the only ways you can permanently lose mail delivery... although it's admittedly rare. I think the carrier has to start the complaint.

It would be funny to see all the campaign signs and stickers replaced.

Nah, they use vans for more package dense areas. They are rolling out electric versions of those too eventually.

I am more concerned by China heavily subsidizing epacket mail.

Considering most Americans don't know the history of Haiti, nor could even point it out on a map. So I doubt many are offended

Or they don't know it exists... my state just started this year and I had no idea until this comment caused me to check.

I feel like there should be a first line of defense, so you don't get charismatic idiots. Like some hard test and only the top 20 % scorers can campaign.

Is this English? Are you having a stroke? Am I having a stroke??

Google and various websites says 28g of pecans is between 185 and 195 calories, how in the world are praline pecans much less calories?

I am going to eventually use Linux (although need help with a good option for gaming and video library use), but I was curious how long I could use Windows unregistered for? What are the limitations of it not registered?

[Resolved!]

I traded my cousin some really expensive RAM that I happened accross for his old desktop, that he put his graphics card into that he swapped from his newer computer. If I plug the desktop into the wall and try to turn it on nothing happens. If I open it up I can see that the where the wire from the power supply plugs into the graphics card there Is a little light on. So clearly some power is getting somewhere...

How do I go about trouble shooting this, and what tools do I need? I assume at minimum a multi meter? Not really sure what to do, it's been decades the last time I built a computer.

Board says "Asrock H110M-HDS"

Edit: Attached a Pic and noticed the light is actually on the graphics card, not motherboard. Added addtl info.

Update: So now all of the sudden the fan spins. I am at a loss as to why it spins now, as I haven't actually really done anything. I ordered a speaker for the mobo, so waiting for that.

Final update: It works! I apparently had either a bad monitor or bad display port cable. But using another monitor with DVI I was able to finally get it to fully boot!

I am not sure what got the fans to eventually work, maybe just a cable was jostled.

I really appreciate all the advice! I definitely know a lot more and feel better equipped to do things with it now.

I know Congress needs to be involved to actually declare war, but there have been a number of times where something was kicked off by presidential authority alone.

If Biden wanted to, could he start a conflict against Russia without congressional approval. If not, what approval would he need? If so, what would be the theoretical limitations to his power and military authority?

I am already assuming people would want some definition of what "conflict" would mean in this hypothetical scenario. So let's say it means Biden authorized US troops at the Ukrainian border and had them launching shells into Russia.

Let's say I hypothetically had some mice pee in some plastic components that cannot be properly cleaned in any realistic way. Is it possible to heat it up to "cook off" the mouse pee nastiness without actually melting the plastic?

It's simple math.

Does mucus have calories? (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) by Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works to c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

There must be some caloric input required to produce mucus, however my question is what happens when you swallow your own mucus vs spitting. Do you retain calories by swallowing mucus?
