Thomas Campbell’s 1809 poem, Gertrude of Wyoming, helped popularize the name in the context of the Wyoming Valley.

Yeah, maybe read up and learn some history.

The Wyoming that Campbell described is a verdant valley bisected by the Susquehanna River in what is now northeastern Pennsylvania. In the mid 1700’s, the colony of Connecticut claimed it, citing a conveyance by King James the First under the great seal of England dated November 3, 1620. At the same time, the Six Nations Indian tribes—the Iroquois—claimed they owned the Wyoming valley, though it was mostly occupied by Delaware and other peoples pushed out of other places, who were sometimes allies of the Iroquois, and sometimes not.

Sure. Whatever you say.

Why? Because some coward on the internet who’s all talk made a baseless accusation?

I’m not really worried what you think.

Interesting how everyone who questions you gets labeled a “magat”.

Wyoming is a Lenape word. The Lenape were also known as the Delaware Indians so it’s named from their word which means “on the great plain”.

Hey mods, how many of us do they get to kill before you will let us talk about killing them?

Are you just talk? You want to advocate for others to do what you won’t?

They say actions speak louder than words so, hop to it. The rest of us will be right behind you…

Talk about it? Why don’t you go do it? Become a martyr for the cause?

Do thumbnails of YouTube videos not show in regular Lemmy?

I didn’t say progressive taxes are authoritarian. Your suggestion is. Applying a blanket tax without regard to impact or circumstance is authoritarian and the kind of thing a dictator would do.

It’s un-democratic.

I don’t especially think an exception clause is reasonable, I believe they will just be abused.

This is in effect no different than saying the tax shouldn’t be implemented because it might unfairly impact certain people, like z5 families sharing a hunting cabin.

If your goal is mental masturbation then it doesn’t matter but if you are talking real world, practical solutions yours doesn’t work.

I’m not aware of any law in Minnesota that makes this illegal but most of the protests here start, end or are entirely on state/federal government property where it is illegal to carry.

I thought it was a serious suggestion but your solution is impractical and authoritarian.

are legal tender for all debts, public charges, taxes, and dues

There is no federal statute mandating that a private business, a person, or an organization must accept currency or coins as payment for goods or services

Goods or services ≠ debts, public charges, taxes, and dues.

A retail store, a restaurant etc. can refuse currency from a customer but a loan/lien holder, a public utility company, a government entity or an HOA must all accept any legal tender.

You’re confusing two separate situations.

I like small cars. I have a 2019 Kona and I love the size but I looked at the newer ones because I’m tempted by hybrid or EV. They the newer ones bigger so I decided to just hold onto my current car for a couple more years and then I’ll look at a Telo.

This is definitely worth mentioning but it’s also good to note that it was a loan not a bailout and Ford has repaid it.

Documents filed by Ford show the company owed payments of $591 million in 2020, $591 million in 2021, and $289 million in 2022. As of this year, the loan has been completely repaid. But the compact cars it built with the original loan have since been discontinued.

Ford also received a $9.2B loan for EV battery factory projects from the government.

I like this because it highlights how it’s not an all-or-none question. There are plenty of countries with low firearm deaths that allow some guns but restrict others.

Wrong.

“You are required to use your turn signal anytime you are changing direction in your vehicle,” he said.

2.71Tb/515 series for TV, 6.28Tb/1176 titles in Movies.

Almost everything in MKV because that’s what I prefer.

I use Plex so it’s organized according to their requirements.

Everything is stored with a redundant backup on a Synology NAS with 6/9 HDD bays filled, totaling 48Tb in total storage space.

I run two servers (one on the Synology, one on a NUC-type Asus box) along with all my other systems.

Oh, and I have dual antenna tuners connected as well for live TV, DVR and playback.

Why not switch to a different platform? The screenshot in the post looks like eBay and I’m pretty sure you can disable the offers option there.

Wrong again.

Trooper Steve was asked by a viewer named Lisa, “Are turn signals required in Florida? I see them not being used all the time – and never being enforced.”

Trooper Steve started by saying that the answer to first part is plain and simple.

“You are required to use your turn signal anytime you are changing direction in your vehicle,” he said. “Florida Statue 316.155 talks very specifically about when you are supposed to indicate a turn or change of lane.”

Here’s a thought, maybe instead of blindly following the original commenters idea and repeatedly posting the same thing, refine the idea to account for people the “fringe” case mentioned?

Maybe, in addition to the multiple house ownership and residence status conditions add one that factors in income/earnings (including any capital gains) and if you exceed a threshold then additional home taxes apply?

Maybe scale the additional taxes based on income/earnings so everyone is taxed but done so appropriately for their situation?

Or maybe adopt a system like some other countries have where the first house you own isn’t taxed but additional homes are, then adjust other taxes in accordance? Under this system 5 families sharing a hunting cabin is not only easier for them but more economic and efficient than five families owning five separate cabins.

You’ll never please everybody but laws and regulations should take into account all those they effect and serve the greatest number reasonably possible.
