Sorry, what? Are you saying that this comment about the holocaust makes the Nazis look... better?
Have they actually got something in the pipeline.
Tough fucking luck. If healthcare is private in the US, it's none of their business, the state doesn't get a say.
I've used this for distilling too, when people start talking about methanol. Even with the worst distiller in the world, you'd have to drink something crazy like 10L before it would kill you.
Obviously by that point you'd be dead with alcohol poisoning. But saying "you can safely drink 14 cans of coke a day before the carcinogenic effects of aspartame become an issue" is completely valid, and not the same as saying "drinking 14 cans of coke a day is a healthy way to live".
Weirdly it's the other way for me. I love Cyberpunk and am trying to replay it, and my favourite games have always been long and story driven, I love turning over the rocks and seeing how deep it all goes, playing KOTOR as a kid was just fascinating.
But, they're a slow burn that take some engagement to really enjoy. When I'm tired I miss all the details and nuance, find I've not been listening to dialogue and stuff.
But I can fire up something like Overwatch and can play well effortlessly almost instinctually. I often don't get much time to game, so the fact its full-on actually helps, whereas in an RPG, you can easily burn half an hour on what's basically just dialogue and travel. It's hard to take your time to enjoy it when you don't have time.
But it's fine, it's something to look forward to occasionally. You don't watch a movie every night, and ultimately I could find time, but I feel better spending that time on other things usually, or just letting off steam on a less thinky game.
A company is much easier to crash than a monarch or government. A government will lock you up or kill you for planning to overthrow them.
Efficient and not necessarily too neutral, classy. But coiling that condenser/feed through every single plate must have been a real fucker!
That's usually worked 100% for me. Either listening to an audiobook, or listening to a genre of video on Youtube I can only describe as "long-form space and quantum physics shit that I don't understand but find weirdly soothing".
Usually works great, but I just can't seem to switch off, if anything, it can actually start adding to the discomfort. Weird really, maybe I need to find something that fills the same gap, but is different.
Can someone fill me in on wtf is going on with drag in the US?
I'm from the UK, drag is like our longest running joke, and families go to pantomimes all the time. Recently theres been a more direct association with the LGBT community in the popular understanding of it. I'd say that most people's view on drag here is:
- not necessarily an LGBT thing, though it very often is
- kinda traditional
- can be funny, or just a fun performance
- pretty lighthearted
- not expected to be overtly sexual by default, depends on context
Some of the stuff I see out of the US is bizzare. I realise that the weirder stuff is always going to be amplified in the news, and people are not necessarily trying to show the full context in photos. But I've seen shit like
- rightoids getting so worked up that the pickets outside resemble the Gaza Strip or, as I'm reliabily told, the average us abortion clinic
- performances in weird places like libraries
- people watching a clearly sexual show in dive bars with their kids in tow that look like they're starting at a painting in a gallery pondering the meaning of nothingness and looking way out of place
Like, wtf? Drag isn't the problem, it's the weird-ass way that people seem to be responding to it. Go to a show if you think you might enjoy it, read up on the performance or use context ques to understand what kind of drag performance it's going to be. Certainly don't go for political reasons and ruin the fun for performers who are just trying to have a good time. But equally, don't plan shows that are meant to provoke a reaction for political reasons, for the same reason.
And why the right wingers care so much if fucking beyond me. Imagine having enough free time to consider that important enough to spend your precious free time protesting it rather than doing literally anything else.
Just chill, it's a fucking stage show. It's like the whole toilet thing again, just hysterics over something inconcequential. I'm trans and fabulous as fuck and don't seem to consider these issues nearly as important than a middle-aged cishet blue collar dude from Texas who may never have met a single trans person or encountered anything like this outside of the Internet.
Is only fun show, why you heff to be mad?
Yeah, it runs Klipper so the Pi is doing most of the crunching and also acts as a webserver. A long USB cable to your computer or phone also gets the job done. It's mostly to help with tuning and diagnosis, because you can actually see what's happening rather than just seeing the effects of what happened, and is meant to be removed after use, but I've still been daily driving it!
Oi, I'm moderate af and am only techy to people who don't know the difference between a laptop and... the larger one!
I do like a community that values a free, open and decentralised Internet, Reddit used to, but seems to have lost that.
Not always, but it is when you go public. I work a lot at small businesses, lots of them have shareholders who are mostly hands-off, or would prefer a more conservative approach to protect their investment.
People who invest in non-public businesses are usually in for the long haul, and come with much greater risk.
But when you go public, your business just comes a commodity, nothing but a vehicle for a fund manager to use to try and get a higher return for their clients so they get more business and commission.
In theory, it's a really democratic system, but the reality is that we've lost track of what an investment is meant to be, and the number of private individuals actually holding shares in a company directly is very low, it's mostly fund managers who literally just want to pump their numbers for a few years, because long term, they never really beat the market.

I didn't think for even a moment that it would be that simple, thank you so much!
