Outlaw the Torpedo Bat..

Baseball traditionalists like myself are having a stroke watching Vlope and Jazz actually make contact with this new bat and rightfully so. Again, you can’t just make a new bat and ruin over 100 years of baseball to allow guys to actually hit and not be a complete mess at the plate.

Dude what? They made a better bat. It's not some gimmick just slightly different dimensions. Once everyone is on a level playing field so what? It'll make baseball a bit more exciting.

That's kinda slick

They're anti-capitalist and militantly pro LGBTQ+. What's not to like?

Maersk? They're based in Copenhagen.

Incredible. No notes.

No, my instance has always federated with them and I have not had any problems with Hexbear. They can be loud and boisterous when prompted but as far as Nazi-ism? They are leftists I'm truly confused at what you're on about. Could you be any more specific?

[–] bdonvr 7 points 4 days ago (4 children)

Nazis????

In what universe are these people Nazis???

[–] bdonvr 1 points 4 days ago

They really are not that bad. But they can be... rowdy... when prompted.

I mean why do they make you that mad they're usually pretty cool

It's "Shit Just Works"

I'm glad my feed has been pretty drab with them gone

I'm actually not afraid of printing things larger than a few square inches on the bed.... Waited way too long for this. Tightening up the eccentric screws on the bed carriage so it doesn't wobble also helps.

Lots of stringing but as I understand that's normal for TPU. Printed at 225⁰C on a 30⁰ bed, stock Ender 3 S1. 0 retraction, 0.93 flow, 35mm/s for most speeds

 

Anyone got any suggestions on things to do around there? Staying in Havana Vieja

Seriously how do people write such slanted headlines it's fucking art.

Alternative title: "America continues to illegally occupy area of Cuba near Cuban military facility"

 

At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. military launched a secret campaign to counter what it perceived as China’s growing influence in the Philippines, a nation hit especially hard by the deadly virus.

The clandestine operation has not been previously reported. It aimed to sow doubt about the safety and efficacy of vaccines and other life-saving aid that was being supplied by China, a Reuters investigation found. Through phony internet accounts meant to impersonate Filipinos, the military’s propaganda efforts morphed into an anti-vax campaign. Social media posts decried the quality of face masks, test kits and the first vaccine that would become available in the Philippines – China’s Sinovac inoculation.

Reuters identified at least 300 accounts on X, formerly Twitter, that matched descriptions shared by former U.S. military officials familiar with the Philippines operation. Almost all were created in the summer of 2020 and centered on the slogan #Chinaangvirus – Tagalog for China is the virus.

Sorry it took 35 minutes over my promised timeframe. My fault. I should've been keeping up my Ansible config not bumbling around manually. Then I would've known that I needed to uncap pict-rs' memory limit. Ah well we got there in the end.
