Requires an act of congress and elimination of the filibuster. Not possible with the current makeup of the Senate. Need more blue senators, which is hard because California gets the same number of Senators as North Dakota, which has the same population as a small apartment complex in LA.

So we need record turnout for that. Vote.

Honestly I'm kinda OK with that.

A) the legal drinking age, age of consent, voting age, and age of Draft/ military eligibility should be the same. Whether that's 21 or 18 or whatever is up for debate, but if you're old enough to kill people at your country's behest you should be old enough to decide what goes in your body.

B) Lots of countries are pretty lax about kids drinking small amounts of alcohol, and it doesn't lead to increased negative outcomes.

I would imagine most devices have BMS settings to deal with this now.

There's not much incentive to do that. Battery longevity reduces sales. Keeping the battery at 100% gives better review scores. It's a lose lose for phone makers to implement that.

If you want to get pedantic about it, 3rd world originally meant countries that didn't take sides in the cold war. 1st world was US and western European democracies and their client states and allies, 2nd world was USSR and their client states and allies.

3rd world was Africa, India, a lot of SE Asia and some Central/South American countries.

It didn't need to melt, raising the temperature of steel decreases it's strength.

The staff nationwide were instructed to tell customers that it has "About as much caffeine as our dark roast" when asked about the caffeine content though.

Gotta be more specific or you'll get monkey-pawed. The next winning lottery number is 42. At the bingo hall of the assisted living facility in Fargo, North Dakota.

How depressing that he missed out on such a wide range of human experience for reasons that even in the realm of religious zealotry are barely explicable.

At least he got to look like a sad wizard though I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not all communists spam pig testicles. The annoying part of a hexbear users is emoji spam, and dogpileing on any post they don't like.

Royalty is an illegitimate concept. Any property they have is an act of theft as well.

Tech news is a saturated field. It's no great loss if this sack of dicks gets thrown in the river.

Depends how deep down the rabbit hole you go. Some of them have sunk back down to the old Kellogg belief that any orgasm is harmful to ones health.
