  • YSK that Gerrymandering allows politicians to determine election outcomes by changing electoral maps. In most western countries, it's illegal. Gerrymandering is common in the United States

  • The purpose is to have the people of smaller areas represented by an individualized Congress member. So the people in say the backwoods of California, aren't being spoken for by all big city people from LA/San Fran etc. When something is going on in your district, you are supposed to have someone who is empathetic to your cause and familiar to it. Then they bring that to the house and make the argument for you.

    Aka, when someone brings up a federal code change proposition that will bankrupt the main source of jobs in your town, your legislature is supposed to go to bat, not fall in line and let your town die. 200 jobs being lost doesn't sound like much to a large city, but in a town of 2,000 people that's game over

  • **As someone who has ran fiber and ethernet to companies post a category 5 hurricane to get network connections back online for paychecks across 7 states including the virgin Islands... I have never seen that. And we used satellite radio dishes to send signals across areas when we rewired the emergency center (police, fire, etc) under marshall law. It's fucking humbling to have all bridges shut down in the area to try to cut down on people pillaging and have them give you a badge to cross under any conditions no matter the danger because you are considered "needed.". Some other poor souls could have stood on the beach watching it come in piling shit up and running home to drag my chicken coop into the garage throw 2 dogs in the car and "evacuate" only to where the hurricane actually ended up hitting harder. I was an idiot, but the office building i was working from was on the front of the Los Angeles times or w.e the next day to show the destruction. We dug crabs and sucked water for days out of pipes to get Ethernet run in moves for months.... But yet I have never seen someone run them though heating ducts haha. (True story)

    Edit: circa Hurricane Michael, Panama City 2018

  • What I never quite understand/know is where internet based services land. If I run a cloud based storage company / web design company or such, the servers are on my personal property and therefore should be considered allowed. Where does that start becoming non "personal."

    It's like charging someone to park their ideas/data on my personal property. Which I imagine would be considered private property instead. Where is the nuanced line?

    Anyone care to explain?

  • Pretty sure they are a troll. Name being a play on "Karen"

    I just checked and saw they went into a programming thread and said they speak English because it is the only language needed. Have to say as much as I don't care for trolls, that is kinda funny

  • The term I was looking for was Obatzda from what I found. Stems from Bavaria and is made from cows, sheeps, and goats milk.

    If someone knows a traditional recipe or which is most standard, please let me know : )

  • Interesting that of the very few words I could have recognized in German that I remember that one. It used to show up in textbooks in the U.S. when studying WW2. Blitzkrieg being the German air bombings.

    Now I am wracking my brain to see what other words I might remember in German.

    Mostly keep going back to snitzel, beers and lederhosen. Aka the american stereotyping german restaurants (poorly Im sure). But fuck is the beer and snitzel good.... now I want a big pretzel and beer cheese. I wonder if vegans have a decent beer cheese. *wonders off to scour the internet about which animals are most prominent in German cheese, I always want to assume cows, but the Italian use of Buffalos for Motzerella always has me guessing now.

  • In my experience, most chain restaurants back of house line cooks get paid fairly low. So let's say the highest paid linecook gets 18 an hour. They work 8 hours and make $144 that day before taxes and it is added to their check. Most of the servers in the front of house would make around $150 as well but they worked less hours. (Usually 5-6 hours). They also walk with the tip money at the end of the night. Then they claim what they wish to because the government can't prove how much you made in tips. Many claim they made far less, others claim what they made for other reasons.

    It is common to see servers make twice what cooks do. Which creates an atmosphere where front/back of house don't get along all the time either.

  • Only if it's whole milk, if it's skim milk that there is lesser milk. I once saw a man drink that and his dick fell off. Need at least 3 of them milks for a iphone.

  • MF is your choice of term to open discussion with someone on a topic you disagree on? Surely this is going to get your audience to be open to accept your views/input.

    Edit: the discussion likely is about your use case of the term free
