I have a dumb fucking stupid scar on the meaty part of my palm under my thumb, from using a pair of wire strippers - backwards - as an ad hoc pickle jar opener. The little chunk barely attached left now a perfect little sharkbite scar that I’ve grown to despise as a reminder of hubris

No if you’re doing that, use a VPN through your firewall. Local traffic is a fair exception as this can only ever be a device on your network, but that depends on your threat model (as those local devices could be compromised). Opening to “your region’s” IP range opens you to a lot more than LAN access…

Okay explain it to me like I just drank a quarter gallon of moonshine

I should get my account banned now…

I would think willfully violating a judge’s constitutional order would be like some kinda of crime, maybe like criminal contempt of court or something… eh I ain’t a lawyer

N=1 and all, but last night they did an absolutely stellar job with the high risk forcast, and under the strain of this admin no less.

Getting fired for putting slurs on your public facebook = the erosion of due process. Thanks for the hot take

Hell most ‘liberals’ i know don’t even know what political theory matches their alignment. I wholly doubt that 20% polled are completely okay with this court giving up… critique of liberal institutions and representatives is a completely different matter than trying to talk down to people who may not fully understand or comprehend even their own positions, even if well intentioned.

The elder liberals I talk with are not filled in, still obtaining most of their knowledge of events through corporate media. That isn’t their fault, but that won’t keep me from vehemently criticizing, for example, liberal MSNBC and their coverage over say a particular conflict in the middle east. Now when they do coverage of Trump, again i will be noting their passiveness and complicity, even when agreeing with their notions. Those disagreements from a fundamentally human point (say war not generally being a good thing) are usually something liberal individuals completely agree with, but do not have an alternative narrative to fall to once they start taking apart and questioning what they’ve been told, therefore they’re less likely to begin with.

The liberals of our representatives, like Chuck Schumer, have absolutely no excuse to turn their back on their constituents, but they have an interest in ‘business as usual’. We should not hold back in our push to remove such spineless, uncaring, nihilistic representatives as soon as possible. And frankly, if you haven’t at the bare minimum written to your representatives, i don’t want to hear what your idea of a strategy is.

The senate intelligence committee meeting that happened a couple hours ago made me start greying, Tusli Gabard in particular

And frankly I cannot disagree with you, its beyond tedious for some things I had for muscle memory on fusion, its really up to your cost to benefit. My largest necessity was to be able to handle assemblies with parametric parts, and do it without subscriptions or royalties/licensing agreements. Blender maybe could work in a pinch, but I need my designs to be constrained.

All that said, the improvement to freecad 1.0 made me blind to a lot of its quirks, because it was such an improvement for me. I tried so long with early freecad and wound back to fusion again and again. That it was finally useable is what called me over… but that is not the best advertisement, is it? Lol

FreeCAD! I dont mean to be a evangelist, but it is finally good enough for myself that I made the leap from Fusion, and I haven’t missed it a moment. Your mileage may vary, but now is better than ever to give it a(nother) try

Ubiquitous and Tiamat are my servers, Polyglotal for my home assistant voice endpoint, and some more. Points for the reference

Quit your bragging, some of actually have reapers up in there

Did you know: all language is fake and made up?

Had one come up to me while I was working with chemicals excited about his doge check… then complained about owing taxes. Had to bite my tongue so hard not to tell him gullible was written on the ceiling

Just dont try to spray up your ass, its pretty hard but you dont wanna.

But now you only use three or four squares of TP to dry off instead of fingerpainting shit all up your asscrack until the point you’ve been conditioned to believe is clean enough.

One problem though, shitting at your workplace or anywhere else will be insufferable. My LPT is to take one of the better hand towels and wet it in a sink before hitting up a stall. Thank me later.

There’s always has to be the “Fuck You I Got My Own” factor

I hope it comes to light that he didn’t and he gets booted

I really do my best to not be alarmist, but by who? I’ve stopped counting the headlines about agencies being illegitimately gutted and information leaking, each instance on dubious legal ground at very best. How could any prosecution keep up and be any more effective than when he was first impeached?

I’m fortunate that none of my closer family has fallen in. But for both of the companies I’ve worked for since 2016, essentially everyone - especially corporate management, but even shop workers - has drank the koolaid. Had one today tell me he was excited for his DOGE check… In no way am I doubting there are many, many fools who wanted to be played twice, but it won’t be until the majority of them softening on their loyalty to him and actually start asking questions that maybe something can happen - or not.

To make some semblance of a difference, changing some of those peoples minds collectively is really all to do for now. These people only watch the five, fox news business, and maybe some Joe rogan. Of course they believe the only things they hear. But that’s a much easier task when shit actually gets rough for everyone, which simultaneously I do not anticipate.

I genuinely want to know why I keep seeing people repeat this sentiment.

If we lived in a healthy democracy, a candidate that would infringe so openly on rights - especially in this context - wouldn’t have the platform to even run or the governmental power to do so.

With that supposition I think we can agree something is clearly not healthy, whether societal socially, or as a function of checks on the government. And that’s before questioning the legitimacy of this outcome. Not that the answer will change anything, but regardless, I chose not to harp on the people who genuinely did not know better, as you imply of LGBT here.

The collapse of the systems that are intended to power check the goverment will benefit literally nobody, not that voted for, nor against, nor at all. So what do we gain by putting blame other than infighting?
