coordinating these sort of movements internationally. This has been happening now for a while through the typical troll factories

It's also been happening via conventions like CPAC (of "We Are All Domestic Terrorists" fame), which attracts fascists from all over the world like Orbán and Farage, not just ones from the US. And that's just the collusion they do out in the open, rather than behind closed doors/via Erik Prince's WhatsApp group/etc.

They are literally themselves the international "New World Order" conspiracy they try to accuse the "(((liberals)))" of being. As usual, that's projection too.

Admittedly, I don't know a whole lot about what instruction set features the ESP32 actually has, but isn't an embedded processor that small by nature lacking in things like, say, a memory management unit? Don't take this the wrong way, but the notion of making a general-purpose OS that relies on cooperative multitasking seems a bit sketchy at a time when you could just spend an extra buck to move up to something like a Raspberry Pi Zero that can run a proper memory-safe and preemptive OS.

Well, there's this...

...but honestly, I could see somebody sufficiently naive not recognizing that for what it is.

This one, however, is a bit less covert:

And then you recall reading this in the intro on the first page, and a pattern starts to develop:

My OBJECTIVE is JUST 4 KIDZ! The "Z" is for "ZEALOUSNESS," 'cause Jesus wants us to be hot for Him, not lukewarm.

I don’t know where the goat went.

It tries to serve you .swf (Shockwave Flash) versions unless your browser doesn't support embedding, in which case it'll serve you .gifs instead. I guess that, since modern browsers do support embedding in general but not Flash, that's why they don't display either version.

Here are some of the .gif alternatives:

I would've assumed so too, but nope! I even checked before posting to make sure.

Here in Atlanta, the "big four" local network affiliates are owned by Tegna, Meredith, Cox, and Fox, respectively. The nearest Sinclair station is apparently in Macon.

Just don't make the mistake of installing OTA antennas for them like I did. Put all the old black-and-white movies they want to watch on a Jellyfin server instead.

I finally, after much cajoling (and more importantly, after much increase in the monthly bill) got my parents to finally cut cable TV entirely. I even made sure they got Netflix as their streaming service so that they wouldn't be exposed to any commercials.

Now they sit around watching mostly OTA TV all day, with so many ads for medicine and mortgage scams and other old-people shit that I can't fathom how they can even stand it, let alone prefer it.

The one small comfort is that at least the local news in my area isn't owned by Sinclair.

Nah, they want China to be “reunited” with Taiwan

Under the KMT, not the CCP, right?

The other major difference is that the Rules place twelve specific bills on a glide path to a vote on the House floor without allowing for hearings or amendments, by limiting debate, and waiving all the other chamber rules.

See, these are the sort of tactics the Democrats should've used with stuff like voting rights and campaign finance reform and student loan forgiveness and the minimum wage increase and all those other things that they "ran out of time" without getting passed, despite them being alleged priorities.

Did you consider using the FreeCAD Gridfinity Workbench (or, for that matter, writing a patch for it to support drawers)?

I'm in the process of replacing all my single-color christmas lights with addressable RGB LEDs, but the 12mm "bullet" form factor of them is different from the traditional incandescent mini lights, the 5mm wide angle LEDs, etc.:

You'd think they'd make C6/7/9 bulb covers that attach to them, but I have yet to find any for sale, anywhere. As such, I want to 3D print some, along with 12mm bullet pixel-sized replacements for my snowflake lights:

What's some good filament I can get that will be reasonably clear and stay that way (without yellowing or getting too brittle) for several years' worth of Christmas seasons, despite UV/rain/cold exposure?

(Bonus question: anybody know a good way to model the facets in those "strawberry" lights? The C7 bulbs on Thingiverse, such as this one, are all smooth, LOL.)


Edit: by the way, to be clear (pun intended): I don't need optical clarity like the lens guy; scattering the light is fine. (In fact, doing that on purpose is kind of the point of modeling a faceted C7 bulb instead of a smooth one.) I just want to make sure that whatever part of the filament that doesn't manage to be transparent is white, not tinted some dingy color.

I do happen to have some Inland "natural" PLA laying around and did a test print in that. It's not too bad -- only a little bit yellow at the wall thickness I'm using -- but I fear for how it will hold up over time.

Do not misconstrue this as implying the working class opposes social leftism, because it doesn't. It only seems that way because the only party offering economic hope -- false hope, but hope nevertheless -- is doing it by scapegoating (brown) immigrants.
