"Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction. "

Unfortunately I think you’re right, the way the thirteenth amendment is written might make laws like this unconstitutional. What we really need is another amendment banning it entirely.

I think it’s supposed to be https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graggle_Simpson

I don’t believe there is, and if there was, it could be used for some really nefarious purposes!

Deeper in the article it talks about this, it’s a lot. It’s really the most strategic way to vote in a state absolutely dominated by one party.

This post gave me the same question and I went and looked a bit. Looks like it: https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/mpox/vaccines/vaccine-recommendations.html

Depending on the size of the screen and the sitting distance, sometimes 1080p is more than enough.

"In areas administered by the National Park Service, an individual can possess a firearm if that individual is not otherwise prohibited by law from possessing the firearm and if the possession of the firearm complies with the laws of the state where the park area is located. 54 U.S.C. 104906. "

Oh dang really? Thanks for the correction I need to update my knowledge here.

While I agree that the surrounding area would be well armed, I believe firearms in the park itself are actually banned for civilians. This is a rare case of a police force stopping an active shooter quickly.

Credit for this goes to David Lovelace, and it’s not even the most ridiculous variant he made: https://www.umop.com/rps.htm

IIRC didn’t it start out as XBMC, a media center you put onto the original Xbox?

I’m also interested in this project. Looks like there has been some recent activity: https://www.opensourceecology.org/2024-product-release-of-seed-eco-home-4/

You should contact them about getting involved! I did see they had jobs a while back for a project.

When companies start to focus too much on growth usually they start to lose sight of their values and greed begins to take over. That said I just checked their ad policy and while they do physical ads, it’s still a pretty reasonable policy.

They still won’t be showing up on random YouTubers videos like Nord

One of the things I liked about Mullvad was that they didn’t advertise. Has this changed recently or did they always do outdoor ads?

You can buy music without DRM on Bandcamp, and on Bandcamp Friday a larger share goes directly to the creator. It’s a great way to support your favorite artists.

I tried out this OS last year and really loved it, until I went on a road trip and couldn’t use Android Auto. This is huge and will make GrapheneOS an extremely attractive option to privacy minded people.

Can’t infect wolves? I’m no expert here but I don’t feel like a vertebrate mammal with a brain could be completely immune to prions. Do you have any more information on that claim?

Probably not because those won’t affect their bottom line as much. Wolves harass cattle herds and run the weight off of them, requiring more workers to protect the herd and also reducing sale price. With wolves reintroduced, the price of beef will increase.

That being said, we definitely still should reintroduce them, they have so many positive effects on the environment. Even if not reintroduced, it won’t be long before the wolves in Wyoming start making their way down anyway.
