Um… yes??

Did you read the linked article? The regulation doesn’t define ketchup as a vegetable. It explains how that was a thing people concocted to attack the proposed nutritional standards as being too lax.

Not sure if you made the recipe already, but I recommend baking it for longer than it calls for, because the “pourable pizza dough” is really watery and will be undercooked otherwise. You should probably bake it for an additional 7–8 minutes more than it says to bake it for before adding toppings, and then keep it in the oven for another extra 2–3 minutes once toppings are added. I get that school pizza does not necessarily taste great anyway, but I think this change improves the flavour a lot.

The State will spend hundreds of dollars a day to keep someone locked up but don’t worry because they will make it back by skimping on five dollars worth of food and serving people mystery product #4291 instead.

The rectangular pizza is not actually that processed. It comes from a US Department of Agriculture recipe and you can make it at home using common grocery store ingredients, although the USDA recipe is intended to make 100 servings.

The recipe does call for something called “pourable pizza dough” but there’s a recipe for that too and it’s basically just very thick pancake batter.

Ketchup is not considered a vegetable in America. That is a myth. Some random school official essentially made the equivalent of a shit post (said something stupid in a meeting with no serious intent) and local papers ran with it.

That’s the dual state for you. The normative state applies to all actions by Trump and his goons, everyone else is subject to the prerogative state. This case is just the normative state being used to protect the prerogative state.

Woe will be the day when humans can no longer determine whether a video is AI or not, even after careful analysis. I wouldn’t have caught this one either but if given the fact that it is suspected of AI, it isn’t hard to prove it. The timestamp in the top left corner is off. 22-13-43-21 is a nonsensical date and the time jumps from 23:15:07 to 23:15:98 then 23:15:59 then 23:15:54

The Supreme Court ruled that district courts can only grant relief to the parties of the case. So the district court is powerless to protect those who don’t file a case before it, with one exception, which is a class action. That’s why the DC public defender wants to change the case to a class action, because that is the only way they can get the board to stop enforcing against everyone.

More specifically, the Supreme Court ruled that the court can’t enjoin an agency from enforcing the rule in question, except against the actual named parties to the case.

So if John Doe and Jane Roe sue an agency and want an injunction, the court can only order the agency to not bother those two people. It cannot order the agency stop doing the thing altogether to all people, even in one area only. That requires a class action.

The Supreme Court ruled in Trump v. CASA that district courts don’t have the power to issue nationwide injunctions to enjoin government agencies from enforcing policies nationwide. Instead, they say that a case needs class action status in order for a court to issue nationwide relief.

People who build their own computers, AKA the group most likely to complain about this

They should make a Windows version called Windows 10P which is the same as Windows 10 but only the bare-bones necessities and no extra crap or required online services, and sell it for $59.99 (seeing that Windows is already de facto freeware). That’s probably an order of magnitude than what they make from intrusive advertising anyway to a single user over the lifespan of a computer.

I cooked up my own VPN and I still get blocked sometimes because it’s a data centre IP. For example, Wikipedia blocked the whole /30 range.
