Peel it, slice it into thin medallions, then pan fry them with butter until they’re crispy golden brown on both sides but still creamy soft in the middle. Seasoned with just a sprinkle of garlic salt and a dash of Korean chili powder.

It’s a movie made for entertainment. People are suppose to enjoy it.

As for the subject matter, it’s written and directed by a guy named Ray Mendoza and is based on his own experiences during the war when he served as a SEAL.

Not my state. Here you’re entitled to return of the deposit plus damages up to the amount of the deposit (so double, basically).

Reiterating what others have said about talking to an attorney. Most will consult with you for free and you’ll know if you have a case.

Anecdote: my brother is an attorney and I got really sick, spent a month hospitalized and when I got out had to move back to my parents house because I needed help day to day while I got better.

My brother broke my lease on my apartment using ADA rules (I’m in the US) but they tried to keep my deposit for normal wear and tear items.

All it took was a letter to the corporate office on his firm’s legal letterhead, with the relevant statutes that said they couldn’t keep my deposit for the items they listed, and a reminder that if we sued and won they’d owe me double in damages plus all costs and his fee.

Bahahahahahaha!

Not the fun ones!

Those two are easy. Thrift stores and farmers markets.

I’m an ‘84 baby like you and recently I’ve been trying to remember when the last time I actually felt national pride.

I keep thinking maybe in the general upswell of national pride post 9/11 but that was probably mostly mob mentality and juvenile ignorance.

I am proud to be a Minnesotan though! When I’m abroad in the country the other Americans I meet seem generally decent but it just doesn’t feel like home if I’m outside of my state.

I don’t want to toss a bunch of EV’s (even bad ones) in a landfill prematurely just because the CEO is a fascist.

This is a fair point but I would say specifically for the Cybertrucks that it might be best to salvage the batteries and electronics and scrap the rest. They’re built so poorly when I come across one while driving at speed on the road I either hurry up to pass it or slow down and let it get well ahead.

If Nader was going to write a sequel it would be about the Cybertruck.

Corn chip puppy smell!

Anything in the mockumentary genre because that’s kind of the point. My personal favorite is a film called Kenny from 2006.

It takes a certain kind of person to do what I do. No-one’s ever impressed; no-one’s ever fascinated. If you’re a fireman, all the kids will want to jump on the back of the truck and follow you to a fire. There’s going to be no kids willing to do that with me. So, I don’t do it to impress people - it’s a job, it’s my trade, and I actually think I’m pretty good at it.

As someone who works in tech I’d agree with you. AI is a tool for humans to use that can help make tasks easier and lighten workload but it won’t replace them.

He’s not, but he does because he’s using a loophole that involves the IEEPA. There’s an awful lot of ranting and raving on Lemmy and everywhere else about how 47 is ignoring the Constitution and not following the rules of our democracy. Right now Republicans, the party in power, has the ability to take back control, close the “loophole” being used and shut this tariff bullshit down but they’re not doing it. He used the IEEPA for similar actions during his last term as well and has been calling for tariffs since long before he ran the first time, seems like nobody bothered to pay attention. Even if 47 and his administration were magically gone today the US is still in trouble, the democracy is broken, has been for some time, and it seems like folks are just starting to wake up to it. It’s unfortunate that it’s happening this way but maybe this is the wakeup call the US people needed.

The immediate problem is the current president and their administration but the long term problem is deeper, spans the Republican and the Democratic parties, the courts up to SCOTUS and is peppered through the executive, legislative and judicial branches. It won’t be fixed in my lifetime but I hope, for the younger generations and those coming behind, that fundamental change begins in a new direction.

I suppose it could work if the world worked like a baby playing peek-a-boo. Except there’s a few obvious problems like the fact that the civil judgment would remain even after a pardon for murder and the fact that a criminal charge of murder or conspiracy to commit would likely be brought against individuals, not the corporation.

I think you don’t understand how the Presidential pardon works in the United States. I’m tired of the doomerism and negativity I’m seeing all over Lemmy that seems to be detached from reality.

If 47 somehow manages to start pardoning civil offenses feel free to come back and gloat. Although I’m not sure why you’re so keen on it happening.

Until then, this is a win for Louisiana and the land along the Gulf and I’m going to celebrate it. There’s too little of news like this lately

By the way, that’s the Gulf of Mexico I’m referring to.

It’s a civil case.

I agree with you and appreciate the call out and the positivity. Too many new accounts on Lemmy lately that are commenting negative and defeatist things on positive headlines.

My wife behaves very similarly. Often she apologizes for things that I don’t even register. It’s a difference in how we grew up. I’ve mostly settled on ignoring it now but early on I encouraged her to think about who she’s apologizing for, and if she’s doing it for me I encouraged her to stop. Not only do I not need it, most of the time I don’t even notice whatever minor transgression occurred she thinks needs to be apologized for.

Now if she does it the apologies mostly go unnoticed too because it’s not for or about me, and if it’s what she’s comfortable doing then that’s ok.

I really liked Gordon Pinsent’s turn as Maurice Becker in Republic of Doyle too. Both sides of the spectrum with those two roles.
