Personally, I think even waiting til reconstruction was a mistake.

I get not wanting to accept any validity to the confederate state’s secession, and therefore have them maintain statehood after the war as opposed to becoming US owned territories.

But, imo, the moment the war started, congress should have been convened, and the constitution amended to dissolve the senate, which was only created to give power to the southern states, giving ‘land a vote’. Likewise, it should have been amended to force all state governments to do the same, by mandating all state legislative bodies be unicameral, and comprised solely of representatives representing an equal number of citizens.

In doing so, after the war, the freed slaves would have constituted a strong majority over the remaining white men, and the union states a strong and enduring majority in the US congress.

I helped build a similar one one that traveled around my friend group for a bit and now does 3 days a week at the local brewery. Ours stays under 150°F… After a 10 hour day of continuous use in 90°temps.

the exterior is always comfortable to the touch- some times i climb up on top of it and sit and watch the crowd/ music/ call out orders for the guys if its busy.

They’re usually that layer of bricks, a layer of insulation, then like 6-8" of cement. The whole point is to keep the heat reflecting on the inside.

If the one you have access to is reaching more than 200°F, it means the interior has cracked somewhere, and it shouldn’t be used until repaired. Your risking the insulation catching, or burned through it already, contaminating the pizzas, and rhe exterior concrete layer being damaged.

20 years ago my friend asked me to help him build. It sat in his yard and we fired it up probably once a month th 7 months of the year for around 5 years. Then we pulled it out of the ground, cut the base short, and mounted it onto a trailer. It went to another friend’s house, where it sat for a couple years and cracked. Maybe got used 2x. ~5 years ago, we got it back in good shape, now with a coat of cement over the bricks, and used it for another friends wedding, ended up selling it to another friend who had a catering buisness, and now it does 3 days a week at the brewery

I think i just found my answer on Wikipedia, in Spanish specifically, diaceitic marks as a group are referred to as tildes. And the name for the mark above ñ is a virgulila. Also, interestingly, ñ is considered a distinct letter from n, (as opposed to being an ‘n’ with an added accent) which i didnt realize…

In english (and similarly in french) an accent refers to any of that group of ‘characters,’ which are commonly referred to as ‘glyphs’,differentiating them from characters, which would be whole letters that can be used independently) (which i think is what graficos is translating to) known as accent marks, aka diacritics.

so á is an ‘accute accent mark’ (l’accent aigu in Fr) à is an grave accent, â is called a circumflex / accent circomflex

and ä is an Umlaut/ trema.

Like those last 2, the ñ is not referred to as ‘accent tilde’ just as ‘tilde’ (which to me seems fine for the others, but not the ~ because theres no other commonly used character by that name to need to disambiguation from)

My problem was that when I took linguistics in college, I was also taking logic. To when the linguistics teacher referred to ‘ñ’ in english, he called ‘tilde n’ which was exactly the same phrase the logic professor would use to refer to ~N, aka ‘not N’.

Making me constantly leap to ‘any letter but N,’ or ‘a theoretical negative/ converse of N’

I had to deal with the opposite once.
Was managing a bar where doing shots with customers was common. We also kept a bunch of leroux blackberry brandy in stock that was common for this (a tradition dating back 30 years)

One of the bartenders refilled an empty bottle with robitussin, becauae he was sick, and was shooting that instead when he did shots.

A server then snagged thay bottle and a couple of shot glasses to pour some shots tableside for a group, and then accused the bartender of dosing him on lean. (Promethazine and roxycodone)

Or monetize icrementing it forward.

There were a couple years where spelling/ grammar checks where it would always correct like half of the regular dashes id use into em dashes, and id have to copy an email dash after I spell checked, then ctrl +f all the regular dashes and replace them with the coppied em dash

Its alsways bothered me a bit that its called a tilde both when its above a letter or on its own Ñ / ~

The one fad diet doctors really dont want you to know about!

At least theres a human to be responsible though, in most places with mandatory insurance.

Personally, I think waymo should be allowed to operate, but each car should be tied to someones ownership/ liscence (ie the CEO’s) and that it should come with an automatic guilty / full at fault in any accident or incident.

I mean a war being legal doesnt make it moral, but, for the USA, the legal way was by an act of congress.

The Hague convention III of 1907 formalized an international process (thats really just you have to declare war, both to the opposing forces and to all neutral parties in the area) that was basically what people had been doing for centuries.

Damn. I want an ap that when it detects these glasses, makes them play a loud/ high pitched noise that makes them uncomfortable to wear and users take them off.

I dated a rich girl for a while and when her dad found out i was paying for everything, he gave me a credit card.

My friends got a funnier version of this. The local elementary school has a service that translates automated phone messages for parents into any language.

She’s bilingual, but her mother only speaks Russian and shes been teaching the kids Russian. So she gets each message, 2x, once in english, and once in Russian. But, whenever the system hits a loan word, or word that is the same in both languages, (superintendent was the word it hit when I was driving with her thw other day)

it gets derailed, and finishes in english with a really over the top Russian accent.

Not the same Russian voice mind you, it switched from a woman speeking fairly fast to a man speaking english slowly and angrily, with a Russian accent, like it was trained off of cold war movie 'Soviets or something.

I feel like the only reasonable response to that would be for his lawyers to claim that the prosecution had just admitted to apocalyptic incompetence. Ignore the whistling, why tf would nukes be controllable by any system so insecure as to be reachable from a payphone, let alone with security simplistic enough to be reachable by a such a small input that it could be simulated by whitlstles.

Mines been keeping me warm through the last months of snow storms.

My friends mom has been trying the opposite- shes trying to avoid buying any plastic packaged food. Not so much out of concern for microplastics, but as a way to reduce her environmental impact.

Its also helped her eat much healthier- most candy is out, all her veggies are fresh instead of frozen, fresh meats instead of prepackaged ones, etc.

RFK follows a keto diet, hes saying that proof against this claim, because he acts like a schizophrenic.

I was going to make kind of the same joke, but phrase as

By republican math, I think RFK just admitted hes a schizophrenic
