On what basis should he not be allowed?

Well, this is what the US constitution says:

Amendment XIV, Section 3.

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

The question is whether those words apply to his actions, and who exactly has the responsibility to interpret them.

Well that settles it, Russia. The rules say you have to go home and start a new invasion. Be sure to pick up any mines you may have left.

These laws expose residents of Florida and Texas who edit Wikipedia to lawsuits by people who disagree with their work

If that quote it accurate, then it doesn't matter where Wikipedia itself is based.

"We are in the late stages of having a user base"

The world would be a bit better if everyone flew coach or stayed home, but it would be a lot better if the developing world had access to lighting, air conditioning, washing machines, transportation, fertilizer, and desalinated water without a corresponding increase in carbon emissions.

Renewables (with storage and long-distance transmission) are part of the solution, but we need to invest in all viable forms of carbon-free energy like there's no tomorrow, because if we don't, then for a lot of people there won't be.

In the early '90s, my dad made a universal remote by hot gluing 3 regular remotes together in a Π shape.

NY, a science guy.

So your interpretation of the 14th amendment is that "shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion" is the exclusive responsibility of the judicial system to determine? Maybe that's a valid interpretation, but it's not actually written in the text.

That doesn't work in many cases, like the example in the screenshot.

Imagine a Beowulf cluster of these.

Interesting, that does appear to solve the same problem.

In my decades of using web browsers, I can't say that I've ever tried dragging text to the address bar. That's not very discoverable, and the drag action messes with the page's scroll position.

Ah, so he switched from smiting to torrenting. That explains a few things.

It's Nato according to the BBC:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsstyleguide/grammar-spelling-punctuation

our style is to use lower case with an initial cap for acronyms, where you would normally pronounce the set of letters as a word (eg Aids, Farc, Eta, Nafta, Nasa, Opec, Apec)

If you don't like this, then start referring to the BBC as bubbakuh, so they'll have to change the spelling to Bbc.

The workaround is to use [url](url), like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wupToqz1e2g&t=96s.

I've been using IPvFoo on all my PCs since I wrote it for Chrome 12 years ago. Recently I made it fully Firefox compatible. It's useful if you have IPv6 and want to see which websites are on board, though it's a bit depressing if your ISP only offers IPv4.

I've found it particularly interesting on Lemmy, because it connects to such a wide variety of independent servers:

Pillaging isn't free, it requires a lot of time and effort.

"Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it."

There probably is some value in understanding why "evil" things were attractive to people at the time, because if you believe that evil always looks unambiguously evil, then you might fail to notice when it happens again.

I don't think .co versus .com is the relevant factor. I can select xample.co by itself, but not as a substring of http://www.example.com. The rules seem so arbitrary and context-dependent that it behaves more like a dice roll than a usable feature.

If a selection to URL feature cares about TLDs, IP addresses, or text beyond the selection range, then it's operating at the wrong abstraction layer. (well, technically Goto foo has a couple lines of code to [bracket] bare IPv6 addresses, but that's not core functionality.)

Seems risky, because people don't expect chocolate to need refrigeration.

Sorry Europeans, I can't hear you over my HVAC system with abundant domestic methane reserves.

1.6 tonnes with a combustion engine or hybrid vehicles, and more than 2 tonnes for electric vehicles

There might be silly examples to find, but yours isn't one of them.

I would look for cases where moving from petrol to hybrid pushes you over the limit. I think they should be measuring size and fuel efficiency, rather than weight.

Slowly, gently, aisles unfold their wonders,
Grasp them, see them, beneath fluorescent numbers.
Turn your gaze away from the bustling street outside,
Turn your steps to where deals and savings bide,
And listen to the checkout scanner glide.

Close your eyes, picture discounts you have never seen,
Purge your mind of the other stores you've been.
Close your eyes, let your shopping cart fill more,
And shop, as you've never shopped before.

I for one welcome our new robot overlords. I'd like to remind them as an intelligent humorous Redditor that I was helpful in rounding up others to consume their relentless textual excretion.

Beginning with Firefox 127, users will be prompted to grant MV3 host permissions as part of the install flow (similar to MV2 extensions).

Hooray! Previously Firefox MV3 extensions had to include a custom button in the UI to prompt the user for host permissions at runtime. It generally made more sense to stay on MV2 than switch from a 2-click to a 6-click install procedure.

The battery can deliver a stable voltage output of 1.25 V and a capacity of 110 mAh/g

110 mAh/g * 1.25 V * 1000 g/kg = 137 Wh/kg.

Lithium ion is around 250 Wh/kg, so this battery is around twice as heavy.

How do you run out of spells?

That's like "the server's down because we ran out of code."
