Your country can decide to call Sweden Poop-land, your own localized maps will label it Poop-land, but on swedish maps it will still be called Sverige.

Last time I checked SUVs are required to adhere to speed limits too.I wasn’t arguing about cars vs motorcycles, I was arguing that
the risk is born by the rider instead of the public.
is complete horseshit.

This is some bullshit. A motorcycle may be smaller than a car comparatively but one being hurled at you at highway speeds is still lethal. Both pedestrians and people in cars die to speeding motorcycles every day.

You have low blood pressure, rejoice! That puts you in the low risk zone for a bunch of age related heart conditions.
of course. I’m alluding to the fact that while theres been a significant improvement, we still in many places consume worrying amounts of lead.
That is still a very worrying sentence when the only safe level is 0
First off I’m Canadian,
Wasn’t expecting that
and secondly America isn’t, but Minnesota is.
Minnesota is a part of America, hence my wording.
An American claiming America is better at scandinaviaing than Scandinavia, is the most American thing I’ve heard in my life.
Boo, Swedish meatball sandwiches have meatballs and beetroot salad.

Global News@lemmy.zip•Ukraine finds uranium in six more Russian drones. Their radiation readings ran up to 80 times backgroundEnglish
1·24 days agoWikipedia disagrees:
Depleted uranium is favored for the penetrator because it is self-sharpening[36] and flammable.[32] On impact with a hard target, such as an armored vehicle, the tip of the projectile will be “mushroomed”,[37] while the back of the projectile is still a rigid solid. This leads to adiabatic shearing, and together with the spin of the projectile results in a shedding of the mushroomed plastic phase in such a way that it forms a new sharp tip. This shedding of the mushroomed tip improves penetration properties compared to the complete dispersal that takes place with tungsten penetrators,[38] therefore DU penetrators are 20% more effective than tungsten rounds.[39] The impact and subsequent release of heat energy causes it to ignite when in contact with oxygen.[32] When a DU penetrator reaches the interior of an armored vehicle, it catches fire, often igniting ammunition and fuel and possibly causing the vehicle to explode.[39] DU is used by the U.S. Army in 120 mm or 105 mm cannons employed on the M1 Abrams tank.

I agree. It is unprecedented (and stupid), yet he did do it. As far as I know executive orders has been used as a do anything tool, so why would this specific thing cross the line?
Executive orders are a ridiculous and undemocratic notion to begin with, but the US does have them (together with Liberia, Nigeria, the Philippines).
