We have clients all over, and the tariffs have been a point of concern for many of them. It’s gonna hit businesses hard, especially for shit that is only manufactured overseas.

We played the fuck out of elite dangerous. Still do, sometimes. But during the pandemic when even the outdoors were largely shut down, and it was snowing sideways… I’m getting close to 1,100 hours too.

Get a good cast iron pan! I’ve used multiple glass tools and never had an issue :)

I use the Lodge pans, but you can pick up a used cast iron pan from a secondhand store and skip the breaking in process.

Pacific Drive has amazing music. So good that I started following some of the bands behind it. The Smoky Brights are a new favorite of mine.

I’m getting these vibes from that second picture.

Ugh, I hate how there’s no opt out. Just read a good blog post on dark patterns, written by a furry. It’s a good post.

An LGBT group that advocates for a country that executes LGBT people, or even just people suspected of being queer. It was a very depressing double take.

That was years ago. Now, little surprises me. Humans are idiots and are extremely shortsighted when it comes to climate change and politics. It will be interesting to see if we can salvage things before there is a large scale ecosystem collapse.

Unlike Interstellar, there’s no portal that’s going to give us access to other earth-like worlds.

Rupture strain was annoying until I saw someone use the grenade launcher stratagem. Makes them way easier.

The abrupt decision by the network, which is owned by the Walt Disney Company, came hours after the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, Brendan Carr, assailed Mr. Kimmel and suggested that his regulatory agency might take action against ABC because of remarks the host made on his Monday telecast.

At one point, I got into indigenous history. Super interesting stuff, but I had to laugh when I read that they landed in a “new” area. They colonized the shit out of it and the poor mini-humans living there, and had a caste system that was apparently pretty brutal (no social mobility, low caste men were used as human sacrifices). Land was distributed for everyone, and nobody “owned” the land, but when a chief died, everyone got their lands redistributed by the new chief and his cabinet, despite it being “everyone’s land”.

Eventually the people had a massive war and collected all the power into one region, euro-style.

Then, Europeans came and colonized the shit out of them, such is the circle of life. Elsewhere in our region, a separate indigenous group practiced slavery, and would enslave people from raids far and wide too. Until they too were dommed by Europeans.

Anyways, this appears to be a serious chink in humanity’s armor, and it allows us to do some terrible things to each other (See Russia’s invasion and systematic slaughter of civilians in Bucha). It appears to be a crime of indifference and opportunity. We’ve apparently been taking each other’s shit since people apparently had shit to take. :/

Thank you so much, I saved a ton of these in my browser :)

I’d try a bath as a last resort. You’d need the highest concentration isopropyl alcohol you could find, like 90%+. I’d also recommend removing any plastic parts and disassemble the metal backing. If things are soldered or glued together, I might not chance it, as moisture could stay trapped inside.

This hosed us in one mission. That, and the cool down timer was way too long. We kept getting them stuck, then having to wait minutes for another attempt.

If it were me, I’d probably replace the switches if that’s an option. Isopropyl bath could work, but I doubt you’ll be able to fully remove the tar. It’s like that dust mixed with grease that kitchens sometimes get.

Seems rich coming from a wealthy, disabled politician. Sure, god doesn’t provide sack lunches to poor kids, but he apparently does hand out wheelchairs, ADA ramps, elevators and door buttons to you?

Don’t slam the door in other’s faces. There’s a reason why traditional America did things like the ADA and EPA.

Niiiice :D

They’ll have to do a lot more than their latest stunts.

There’s a fourth borderlands game? IDGAF if it even comes to steam this time, silksong is $20.

Damn, stole 7.7m, fined $35k and sentenced to 5 months in prison.

It’s actually a very unique city worth visiting. It’s just become crushed to death by tourists like many national parks, galleries, destinations, etc.
