There’s also this level of like, still identifying as being primarily of the country they’re from, like a rejection of assimilation into the place they’ve moved to. I’m not saying that’s inherently good or bad, but, it’s an interesting dynamic, and an option that a lot of immigrants don’t have.

… so… why do they wear curly wigs?

… and put on red lipstick?

Does soot make your hair curly and lips extra red?

France.

to be clear on the “3d printed guns explode after 3 shots” thing.

It depends. If it’s 100% 3d printed parts, including bolt/slide and barrel, then yah, a few shots is the most you’d get out of it.

But most “3d printed guns” are using off the shelf barrels and bolts/slides, parts that are usually not registered and tracked. The parts that are register and tracked are usually the parts that hold trigger assemblies and grips, things that can be made of plastic since they’re not directly handling the stress of firing.

So the fact that the gun (the suspect was arrested with) is intact doesn’t mean it was never used. It also doesn’t mean it was definitely the gun used.

The situation still seems weird, but, we’ll see what the different parties have to say on the matter when they go to trial.

Yes, because it sends a clear message that retractions of aid will not cause them to negotiate, and thus removes a domestic political incentive to do so.

Oh, yah, it was developed by their medical equipment division. Also patented as a massager and was registered with the FDA as such. Then people realized what else it could do.

The really funny part is that hitachi’s main business is heavy industry stuff; power plants, cranes, electrical infrastructure, jet fighters, trains, semiconductors, all sorts of stuff. But everyone knows them for that one time they made a massager that everyone uses as a sex toy.

…

Ok, but that would be interesting, adapting the cyber punk systems to a D&D world. Like, there are meaningful differences between it and D20, particularly with how damage and combat work.

Yah but they don’t respond well to custom loadings, niche use case but not totally obsolete.

Can I PLEASE just get a bubbly drink with caffeine that is unsweetned. The canned coffee is all too expensive and most of that has sugar in it to.

Just give me a sparkling unsweetened tea with extra caffeine. Is that to much to ask?

ALL PRAISE THE CORB

The last one is.

Ram ranch, two trucks, alternating 7 times and then Alice’s restaurant once.

I believe this would result in a lot of mental breakdowns, and a newfound love of Arlo Guthrie.

It’s so bizarre to see this discussion play out on the basis of “health”

Because there is a legitimate discussion to be had about the economics of how milk pasteurization requirements have affected local dairy farms. How the unsanitary conditions of industrial scale milk production have made it a necessity. How marketing and corporate interests have shifted consumption patterns.

And yet these fucking dipshits have turned this in to “pasteurized milk personally harms you!” In grifter circles.

How screwed are we that we can’t talk about the complexities of how corporate farming practices have effected our food supplies with out couching it in terms of “health food”.

I cannot express how much I hate the term “health food”. There is no such fucking thing as a “health food”.

It makes me want to rip my hair out when these topics come up.

Yah, I got tired of reconfiguring my windows every-time it updated.

The little annoyances built up to a point where the 1 hour of migrating stuff over and booting up a new OS was worth it.

I do know how many there are and this is animosity high relative to those numbers. Maybe trump supports this time around just didn’t care about down ballot, but it’s worth looking in to.

I mean, about half, an exaggeration sure, but like not an absurd one. Like, it’s the with in same order of magnitude.

It’s worth a recount and investigation at least. Even if it doesn’t come to anything, it’s still serious and should be addressed for the sake of reaffirming confidence in the voting system.

Big if true

It’s repeating the same cycle, for profit social media will inevitably reach the same fate.

I mean, he knows how to gut things he doesn’t think are important.

That’s not efficiency, that’s just doing less stuff. Efficiency is when you do the same stuff but with lower cost and the same outcomes. That’s not what musk does.

My sweet summer child, do not look it up.
