Per NPR:

Congress has rarely resorted to the most extreme punishment at its disposal. The House has expelled only five members in its history — three during the Civil War and two after their convictions on public corruption charges. It would be groundbreaking for the House to kick out Santos before his case in federal court is resolved.

There's not really an established precedent for booting Congress members out before a conviction. So, while I agree he's a 10/10 shitbag, I think there's value of letting due process play out and then kick him to the curb.

Lol, I'm imagining the call the casting director made to Madonna.

"Hey Madonna, you were great, but you weren't 'milk blasting outta titties' great so we're gonna pass."

Yeah fuck those guys. Had an awning built over our patio and didn't even get through the whole summer before one started digging a hole into one of the rafters. Our backyard is now a no-fly zone for those bastards.

Pretty good. Labor day is a paid day off for me. Wife has to work though, but that just means I get to pal around with my son all day.

We have a white noise machine for my son in his room, but having it handy via Spotify is nice for using it in the car.

The name comes from the barrels of soda crackers that could be found for sale in small-town stores across the American South in the early 1900s; people would stand around the barrels chatting and catching up, similar in purpose to contemporary office water coolers.

Thoughts on the AnkerMake M5 3D Printer? I've been eyeballing it as my next printer. I like the improved speed and the quality of life features (auto level bed, error detection).

This is where I'm at. I'm very new to 3dprinting and I've really been happy with my ender3. I've been putting money aside and had plans for upgrading parts, but when I look at better machines, the price point is pretty close to the ender3 with upgrades.

Man I have no idea! From the previous comment I thought it made sense. I redid the print yesterday and it printed exactly how it looks in Cura with a top and bottom.

I'm seeing it now, appreciate the advice for checking the model in preview mode.

Oh my goodness, why didn't I see that before! Thank you for pointing out something so obvious.

Could try 3D printing. I recently picked up an Ender 3 printer and have been having a lot of fun. I'm in a pretty good spot with a few figures printed and I'm ready to start doing the clean up and polishing type stuff. After I feel like I have a good process I'll start figuring out the best ways to paint.

It's been a fun hobby with a seemingly endless amount of depth, so there's always something to learn or just improve your current process.

The printer I got, plus the filament was around $195 to get started. Budget permitting I think its a fun creative outlet.
