These aren't full metal buttons. They're a hybrid resin and aluminum or copper mix. So less of an issue if it was a full metal button. You can customize it through polishing it desired, e.g., a brushed look, fully polished, raw (as it comes packaged). And yes, your finger oils will add to the end result as well.

Didn't she just release economic plans recently about stopping price gouging?

Well, in Trumps case, it actually makes sense given the gross mishandling of the pandemic just to try and improve his election chances. These shit headlines are getting old.

Something something unity, right? Republicans are hypocritical yet predictable sacks of shit.

This is just disturbing. These people need psychological help.

I'm torn on this one. Obviously, the victims deserve to get payment and whatnot, but the other half of this is that the bankruptcy court agreement with the Sackler family would prevent them from future liability for similar cases. Supreme Court is saying the bankruptcy court didn't have the power to grant that, which, if excluded, would open the Sacklers to future lawsuits. I'm all for that family getting sued into oblivion, but we can't trust the Supreme Court to do what's right either. We have to treat everything they do with suspicion. This comes on the heels of the ruling of 'bribery is now basically legal', so it makes me wonder how much the Sackler family is paying them.

He's probably spying for Putin.

And/or give them cause to not turn over the POW's since they are already 'dead'. Hopefully more details will emerge that paint a better picture. No matter the case though, if the POW's are still alive, then this certainly seals their fate anyway as Russia isn't going to turn around and hand them over after all this.

Abbot is full of shit, as always.

From his letter:

Biden has ignored Texas demand that he perform his constitutional duties...thosnrefusalbtonprotect the States has inflicted unprecedented harm on the People alll across the United States>

No proof of damage except the 'I dont like brown people' that's typical of republicans. I don't recall Texas saying shit when Trump abandoned his constitutional duties to promote the general welfare of the public and let large swaths of Americans die to covid, just because he didn't want to hurt his election chances. Pretty sure that's precedent, though Abbot claims Biden's damage is unprecedented.

This whole document is to rattle supporters into a frenzy. Fuck Abbot.

Doesn't help that churches are pushing political ideologies onto their flocks. Granted, those churchgoers probably already held Trump in high regard thanks to years of brainwashing from Fox. Trump meets all the decriptions of the antichrist and they follow him without a question asked. Religious nutjobs are frightening.

Yes and no. When I got my OLED is was so light but after a JSAUX modcase, it sort of lost that feeling. That said, I'm all for protecting my devices and I have a toddler, so that's me.

When I purchased the original Deck, I had it sitting on my desk in my garage with some headphones plugged in and my dog, who was under the desk, got up and bumped the cable with her head. The cable startled her, causing her to panic and jolt, catching the cable around her torso, and yanking the Steam deck off the desk. Dog is now in a panic as the flying Steam Deck crashes into the cement floor behind her, bouncing and skittering across the ground about 6ft or so until it came to a rest. Now, all of this happened in llike 2 seconds, so there wasn't much I could do. It was basically new out of the box, but it took that incident without issue. That was a a few scrapes along the back/side, but no damage to anything else. Has run fine since.

All that to say that it's tanky in its own right, but your mileage may vary. I lucked out I think, but even a case won't save the screen from an ill placed drop onto a rock or something like that.

They can't even handle a basic meeting yet continuously think they can handle running the entire country. They would have been fired long ago from any normal job.
