52·3 天前Even in US this “right” was never intended to mean that.
I’m sure you’re going to start going on about Well Regulated Militias, and yet if someone tells you that they are in a militia that is organized and trains together regularly I bet you’re going to double down on your efforts to disarm them.

politics @lemmy.world•Supreme Court unanimously strikes down gun law used to prosecute Hunter Biden
17·3 天前The court said the old laws focused on people whose substance abuse left them unable to manage their lives, while the federal law broadly covered regular drug users regardless of whether they posed a threat to anyone.
“It’s a good day for the Second Amendment when all nine justices can agree to protect gun rights,” Severino said. "The mere fact of illegal drug use, without more, isn’t enough to justify prosecution for gun ownership. Historically, ‘habitual drunkards’ who habitually lost use of their reason could have their rights restricted, but not just regular drinkers — even including Founding Fathers like John Adams, who drank ‘a tankard of hard cider’ with breakfast, or James Madison, who ‘consumed a pint of whisky daily.’
Seems like an incredibly reasonable take.

11·3 天前I really just don’t understand how you’re relating this story to capitalism? Were dealer’s not working in a capitalist way prior to legal weed? Did your dealer just give you weed?
It’s such a reach to blame capitalism here that this clearly is the only arrow in your quiver. Which tells me you’re probably just bad at life, so you blame capitalism for everything.

And realistically a more robust system of government with better safeguards.

507·4 天前This is an article about how people like to get high, and the ability to safely buy quality/trust worthy product makes them feel more comfortable doing so.
You could make every dispensary a Government entity in the way that some states run their liquor stores, and the effect would be exactly the same. Stop making capitalism the boogieman for every negative you perceive in the world.
An Onn box with protectivity launcher, all bloatware removed, and ReVanced apps is the simplest/cheapest way to go.

politics @lemmy.world•Dumping Hydrogen Peroxide Into the Reflecting Pool This Morning
2·6 天前The water is circulating between the reflecting pool and the Tidal Basin. It was part of the 2009 upgrade to use that instead of using tap water.
They don’t typically circulate anything back to the tidal basin, the reflecting pool’s circulation system from the 2009 upgrades is a closed loop that filters the water and sends it back to the pool.
They have an option to top off the pool from the tidal basin to combat leaks/evaporative loss, but they don’t typically use that option during this time of the year (because the tidal basin is full of algae), and as far as I know they never use that method to completely refill it.
When it’s filled from empty, it’s treated water from DC Water.

politics @lemmy.world•Dumping Hydrogen Peroxide Into the Reflecting Pool This Morning
7·6 天前With enough H2O2, about 6,500 gallons in this case, they can definitely kill the algae (for a time being, the H2O2 won’t last long before breaking down, and then you’ll get another algae bloom). The dead algae will lose its green color and settle on the bottom.
The bigger question is how it will react with the algaecides that are also meant to be in the pool.
If the Trump team isn’t involved and it’s just NPS acting on its’ own, it might be well thought out: shock the pool with H2O2 to kill the algae and reset, then get ahead of the next bloom with a larger algaecide does to compensate for the warmer waters created by the darker bottom.

321·6 天前Are we sure it’s hydrogen peroxide? Even before Trump NPS regularly added algaecides.
If it is H2O2, it will react with the chloramine that’s in the water and both the hydrogen peroxide and the chloramine will be neutralized. It wouldn’t take much, 50-100 gallons of H2O2 would be enough to neutralize all the chloramine in the pool.
But to both neutralize the chloramine and reach enough hydrogen peroxide to effectively kill the algae, they’d probably need around 1 gallon H2O2 per 10,000 gallons of water, so around 6,675 gallons of H2O2.

31·11 天前USPS is not a business, and therefore not required to be profitable.
Furthermore, USPS’s financial problems that consistently make headlines were manufactured by a 2006 federal act that required them to prefund health and retirement benefits 75 years in advance. The policy was a republican gift to private shipping companies (UPS, FedEx, etc), it was repealed under Biden.
Although they are still stuck with the contract Trump 1 saddled them with for awful and expensive delivery vehicles.

Okay, then can you explain what you meant by:
Because if it’s not the well regulated militia thing, I’m unaware.
