This seemed like a good place to ask this question, but if there's a better one than please point me in the right direction.

A question that occurred to me recently: "What actual enforcement mechanisms are in place to stop the government from trampling your constitutional rights?"

I'm going to keep this hypothetical to avoid any political color. Let's pretend that the following sequence of events takes place:

  1. I am a sitting US legislator who is critical of the President.
  2. In a public appearance, I call for the President's removal from office (doesn't matter why).
  3. In retaliation, the President orders a member of his DoJ (AG, FBI director, someone) to have me arrested and charged.

I don't know where else this should go, so I'm posting it here.

When people picture AI destroying humanity, they usually think of the Terminator scenario where one or more sentient AIs take active and destructive steps to eradicate our species. I don't see that happening, but what I do see for our future has already started.

AI sucks at everything it does in comparison to actual experts in their fields. AI generated news articles are clearly inferior when it comes to depth, accuracy, and presentation of information. AI generated code is clearly inferior when it comes to efficiency, security, readability, and even standards adherence. AI chatbots have a lower customer resolution rate than f

To keep it simple: I need a riding mower than can go through a 40" gate, tires and all.

More details if they help:

  • I'm cutting 1/4 acre.
  • Some parts of the lawn are at a 15-20 degree incline.
  • I'm not picky about mulching/bagging options.
  • I'm not picky about the manufacturer or vendor.
  • I'd like the mower to last at least 10 years with basic maintenance (blade sharpening, oil changes, new plugs, etc.)
  • MUST fit through a 40" gate.

Thank you for any insight you can provide.

For anyone who's curious about what I've looked at already, Cub Cadet has an interesting rear-engine model with a 30" cut width that seems like a good starter, and it's available through multiple vendors like [

I keep seeing this basic premise posted in comments across this subreddit, that the Mach-E is named "Mustang" because it helps Ford's emissions/carbon footprint/environmental numbers, and therefore helps Ford be able to continue selling more V-8 Mustangs.

This is patently false, and I'll give you two sources on why:

First, Ford themselves have told the press that the name was chosen for marketing purposes. From Road and Track:

The idea of how do we stand out in the crowd, how do we cut through all the noise and the clutter of yet another all-electric vehicle, became really the

A while back (maybe from here), I saved this bookmark:

https://www.automotiveauthorityllc.com/collections/mustang-gt-spare-tire-1/products/spare-wheel-and-tire-kit-for-2015-2017-ford-mustang-gt-with-brembo-brakes?variant=35757212297

I'm now strongly considering buying the kit, instead of just saving it for later. I hesitate because I've never heard of this company outside of this specific item, so I'm wondering if anyone here has bought from them before. I'd love to read your opinions, rants, raves, etc.

I bought an oil separator from JLT Performance last week. I got it for a good price, and they shipped it for free. Through no fault of JLT's, the carrier (who shall remain nameless) lost the package. I reached out to JLT over email to ask what I should do next, because I wanted to be sure that any lost package investigation was properly documented. The response I received from their customer service was so much more than I expected. They:

  • Filed their own investigation with the original carrier.
  • Re-confirmed all of my information to ensure there was no mistake.
  • Shipped me a replacement part using the expensive signature-confirmation shipping method wit

Instagram and YouTube can be great sources of content, but lazily linking to your own YT channel or spamming your IG like a button mashing console player is not the way to get more subscribers. Reddit is for karmawhoring, not channel whoring. That is all.

Like the title says, almost all videos from Gfycat, v.reddit.com, and more will load almost immediately, play a split second, then hang. Images will sometimes load like an old dial-up connection, stepping down from the top of the popup frame.

I don't think it's my internet speed or reliability, because whenever I have this problem I can follow the link I'm trying to load with Imagus and load the resulting direct page quickly and easily.

If there's a debug log or something I can dig into I'd love to learn about it. If anyone has any ideas on how I can fix this annoying issue, that would be great. Here's my setup:

  • Imagus version 0.9.8.67
  • Sieve from Dec 5th (but this issue has been happ
