Most of them aren't even step siblings.

It's illegal to touch the manatee. They're about the least dangerous large animal on the planet, but honestly impressive she could get a hold of one. They don't move fast often, but they really can jet when they want to.

Another form of generational wealth being locked in for generations? As good a theory as any I can think of.

Meanwhile the US still has legal slave labor in use in our prisons.

Same thing with a lot of 'large' cities in the US. The city seems absolutely huge, but in reality it's just a part of the metro area around it. Makes me wonder how New York and LA got so big without being a collection of a dozen smaller towns, even though they both have lots of surrounding suburbs of course.

Have you tried shoes?

[-] Skyrmir@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I mean not right now, although within weeks or a couple months that's likely to change. And it's unlikely to come back to the US once it's gone.

I'm with Costco guy. Minus humanity, or human artifacts, I'd probably go for Hawaii. The lack of predators would make the isolation and limited resources survivable.

And how long until someone outs his Grindr profile?

Thanks, I saw the name a few times but had no clue what it really was yet.

Woke up before feeding time this morning and made her wait...she had opinions about that.

[-] Skyrmir@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

She'd likely lose a primary to Ossoff. Even if she won the primary, she has Hillary levels of hate from the GoP, but doesn't have the wide range of appeal among the Dems. We can't assume the GoP will be in disarray after Trump. They have all the billionaires already gaming out the next election, with every bit of AI help they can get. Their turn out is going to be substantial no matter who the nominee is. Meaning whoever the Dems nominate, they have to be able to bring out the whole tent.

The real problem is also that if she goes after the WH in '28 she's unlikely to win, but would lose her house seat in the process. Making it an overall loss for everyone. She could take the NY Senate seat easily, then have a solid position to take the WH later on.

End of the day, if she's on the ticket, I'd have no problem voting for her. But I'm also a tiny niche of a demographic. So it wouldn't mean shit unless she can bring out the moderates as well as the left, and a solid chunk of independents.

Just wondering if anyone has experience with pouring aluminum or copper on their pottery? We've done melts with glass, but getting ready to try aluminum, and maybe copper if that works out.

WASHINGTON, Feb 3 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday ordering the creation of a sovereign wealth fund within the next year, saying it could potentially buy the short video app TikTok. Trump offered little in the way of detail and it was unclear how such a wealth fund would work. Typically such funds rely on a country's budget surplus to make investments, but the U.S. operates at a deficit. Its creation also would likely require approval from Congress.

Circular saw advice (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago by Skyrmir@lemmy.world to c/tools@lemmy.world

About to be in the market for a new circular saw, just looking for the typical 7.25 blade saw. One thing that has constantly bothered me though is the depth adjustment. Every saw I've ever had used a flip lever on a nut in the back, and that's always been the point of failure. They slip, break, seize or otherwise fail first before anything else on the saw. And it's literally the only setting on a saw that i ever touch beyond changing blades.

So what brand has a reliable depth adjustment?

Saw a post mentioning an old Scottish gentleman that had saved a bottle of whiskey to drink the day Margaret Thatcher died. And I'm quite sure he enjoyed the drink.

So my question to the community, what's the best drink for the day any major politician finally kicks the bucket? Should it be your own favorite spirit, or something to denote the character, and vitriol, of the deceased? Something sweet to enjoy the day, or harsh to remember the bitterness of their character?

I'm trying to plan a shelf for my dining room. Each bottle labeled for who they're waiting for.
