2·5 days agoyou could probably get away with a flag loincloth as long as you hang it correctly
Actually it is law, it just isn’t generally enforced since it’s federal and not state/local law.
The United States Code is a consolidation and codification by subject matter of the general and permanent laws of the United States. It is prepared by the Office of the Law Revision Counsel of the United States House of Representatives.
Assuming you could use the paper cutter without the flag touching a surface of any kind then sure.
Gotta get one of those star shaped hole punches and take each individual star out! (/sarcasm)
Actually, reading this makes it seem that all those AI pictures of Trump as a super hero are federally illegal if there’s a rendering of the U.S. flag on them. hmmmmmmmmmm
Yes, as part of a flag retirement ceremony. Although the code allows for any form of “dignified” destruction.
§8. Respect for flag
No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags are to be dipped as a mark of honor.
(a) The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.
(b) The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground, the floor, water, or merchandise.
© The flag should never be carried flat or horizontally, but always aloft and free, except as may be necessary in limited circumstances and done in a respectful manner as part of a military or patriotic observance.
(d) The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free. Bunting of blue, white, and red, always arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle, and the red below, should be used for covering a speaker’s desk, draping the front of the platform, and for decoration in general.
(e) The flag should never be fastened, displayed, used, or stored in such a manner as to permit it to be easily torn, soiled, or damaged in any way.
(f) The flag should never be used as a covering for a ceiling.
(g) The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.
(h) The flag should never be used as a receptacle for receiving, holding, carrying, or delivering anything.
(i) The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever. It should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard. Advertising signs should not be fastened to a staff or halyard from which the flag is flown.
(j) No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen, and members of patriotic organizations. The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag pin being a replica, should be worn on the left lapel near the heart.
(k) The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.
There are a bunch of rules around the flag that nobody follows. Like it’s technically it’s a federal crime to wear clothing that displays the flag, but every redneck I’ve ever met has a pair of star spangled banner swim trunks. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/4/chapter-1
4·5 days agoI don’t know why they aren’t more common! It seems like such an energy saver.
3·5 days agostrange new worlds has some legitimately good trek. i wish they’d experiment less given there are so few episodes per year but overall it’s excellent. you still get your adventure of the week while having a few loose continuing threads (and the major thread of Pike’s inevitable end. spoiler alert?)
This question comes up a lot, and I always respond with Carbon Creek. Is it the best Trek? Hell no. But what it is is a story that requires no knowledge of Trek. Anything relevant to a new viewer is brought up by Tucker or Archer at the dinner table. And it does introduce a new viewer to some key lore about the history of humanity relative to this wider universe, as well as what a wide reach the Vulkan’s had in developing the alpha and beta quadrants.
I really want a double-drawer dishwasher so that I never have to unload or load the dishes. Take clean dishes out drawer one as needed, load into drawer two when done. Drawer one empty? Run drawer two, then start loading the new dirties into drawer one. My dream is to never have to open the kitchen cabinets unless company comes over.
The thing is, for it to be an evolutionary advantage it can’t be common. That’s one theory behind why grandmas aren’t more common in species.
Some of our greatest minds are ADHD, probably bc ADHD brains seem to approach problems in generally more innovative/non-traditional ways than neurotypicals. It can also foster intense motivation in people. Bill Gates, for example, has been open about his struggles with ADHD. Many scholars believe that Albert Einstein struggled with AuDHD (ADHD with autism, which wasn’t in the American DSM until fairly recently).

on your mecha tail, duh
If you have an erection lasting more than four hours please contact your doctor.
It encompasses a few genres of live action japanese tv/movies but I was thinking like power rangers/super sentai.
I’m supposed to be cleaning but now I’m laughing too hard imagining some “saturday morning cartoon” tokusatsu show about a squad of mecha-grandmas.
A copyright strike is a little bit more serious than a content id match, fwiw.
