Well.

Maybe we need to rethink the whole structure.

Putin is Pres. Musk is VP...? Turmp is Co-Chief of Staff, along with Vance?

Just in time for Vice President Trump to try and get another high score on the Assholes Who Killed Millions of Their Own People list. Hitler, Mao and Stalin would be so proud.

a quick search confirms this.

huff post for example.

I'm sure there's plenty of other republicans saying this, just not quite so... publicly...

The intrusive thoughts say I should snack on the raspberries while your back is turned and then blame the nearest kid.

I’ve got “US goes to war with NATO”, does that count?

Disney would have drained its soul, too.

Keep in mind Star Wars isn’t sci-fi. It’s a fantasy space opera.

It’s not supposed to be practical.

Yes. Let’s vote for the neo nazis because of his one good idea. What could go wrong?

(Remember, that time when he praised hitler? Praised a dude that thought he was subhuman because of his ancestry?)

(Also, you do realize that changing the 13th requires another amendment, so that’s basically not going to happen.)

No, they wouldn’t.

They would have found somebody else who “fit a description.”

To my knowledge there was no real reason to believe the guy in the second two photos were the shooter.

They didn’t have a solid “he goes here, here and here” timeline on him (or they would have known he went to the bus port much sooner.)

In the street with many cameras and witnesses, pretty high chance.

lets say, hypothetically some rando walks up and caps you, exactly like Luigi did the CEO. it took, probably, millions, or hundreds of thousands of dollars in terms of cop-hours, and a lot of that is straight up overtime. then there's things like draining the pond in central park, or whatever. the divers. the chasing down faulty leads.

and none of that was actually useful.

what got him in the end was the media campaign pushing his face (well. supposedly his face. there's holes in that story.) in front of everyone. And the only reason it had massive media campaign was because Luigi whacked some asshole who was a real prick, even by Health Care CEO standards, and that made it news.

they're actually more likely to figure out the other, because there's going to be a handful of people who have access to your place. Whoever has keys becomes suspect. Or whoever was in the place. at the very least, no forced entry means you knew the person, at least enough to open the door for them. (Pizza guy?) that's more than they had on Luigi until the McDonalds lady called it in.

(Seriously. Unless they have a continuous footage of him, spliced together from one camera to the next, never leaving it, then they matched Luigi's face to a pair of eyebrows on grainy video. Sure they might have DNA or something more now, but those photos were a joke. as they say. "he fit a description". a blurry, pixelated description.)

With climate change opening up more routes through the arctic seas, it becomes a strategic place to set up shop and control all that traffic (read: tax.)

Incidentally we already have a base there. (I believe it’s for launching rockets into polar orbits. Don’t quote me on that.)

Granted, I was going to slap it onto one of my parent’s shiny kitchen appliances and make jokes about it being a mistake to let them have WiFi…. But still…..

Saw this going to a friend’s house- they bagged the fire hydrants….one thought was snow; but this is the first year apparently. And snow has been a mild issue this year compared to most.

It's spring, dammit (lemmy.world)

Snow on Thursday.

Due to reasons... I've "adopted" a CR10s that a friend had bought. It was used, and was already well on it's way to being a janky Printer of Theseus. My hope is to get it up and running and put through it's paces before the holidays so I can give it back as a gift.

With the linear rail upgrades, I picked up the hardware and it's on it's way; which got me looking at how to do the upgrade, which I have mostly figured out; the question I'm having is, most upgrades seem to place the rails on 2020 extrusions sitting on top of the base frame- same as how the original y axis 2040's were designed.

Which raises the question- why not lower it so the 2020 rails are even with the frame, with the mgn12 rail sitting on top? Like so:

The short answer I came to is this would necessitate replacing the brackets for the y stepper motor and it's idler; but it should be possible. the easiest solution would be something like:

which raises the question: are printed parts rigid enough to hold against the tension on the belts? The motors can't handle too much tension anyhow, and the printer already has the screw-cap tensioners for x and y printed that seem to have been holding up well.

has anybody replaced the OG metal bracket on the back? does it stress and need replacing often, or is it fairly reliable (and above all, consistent,)

Which do you use and why? Which one gets it cleaner. If it matters we have “real” winters here, meaning snow cruft and salt that absolutely must be removed.

Edit to clarify: I’m talking about a choice in automated car washes- not hand washing cars. Seems people are getting confused. Touchless is a few passes with a pressure washer. Soft touch adds spinning car-wash brush things.
