Yes indeed. Everyone I know is a fart that is too loud away from crisis a lot of the time, including myself.

Oh I get it 100%. It is so hard to keep going and push through the BS. But remember, the exhaustion is the point of their tactic. They want to exhaust people and resources so when the dust settles we are out of will and ability to fight. Pick your battles, bide your time, and don't burn too hot. I know, easier said than done

Appreciate the mea culpa.

It might take too much hands on, but a tagging system could work.

Something like

[Independent Media] Article Title

[Corporate Media] Article Title

That also requires the poster to understand the source, which may or may not be the case

Holy extrapolation Batman. I do have an issue with a newspaper that has a history of transphobia, but note that my original comment said it shouldn't be your "only source." That is a pretty mild criticism and does not suggest a "personal beef."

as someone who has worked in journalism since the '90s, slights against The Guardian are grievances.

Maybe, just maybe, you should take a step back and see how your personal experience might give you some rose colored biases of your own

They have a history

And yes, some of those sources are no longer trustworthy, but the articles still show the history. Going back further, they employed known TERFs as writers. They did fire them eventually, but only after a lot of backlash

I never said you should go to Gannett either. And believe it or not, I am capable of caring about two things at the same time.

I don't think a heavily transphobic paper should be your only source.

I certainly would

Because he’s a very, very stupid cruel person.

FTFY I'm tired of the narrative that he doesn't know what he is doing. He knows exactly what and why he is doing it

Yes indeed. We are already seeing the cruelty on display with ICE threats and raids, secret service going after 11 year olds, and just the incredible about of bullshit attempting to legally dehumanize trans people

Unfortunately so will everyone else. I can't foresee a lot of good endings for this one

Also make sure it is a masonry/ceramic bit. In my my experience that matters more than the diamond coating (I use very cheap steel bits). Drill press is also much easier to control speed and depth, so use that if you have one

Got ya. Glad it doesn't use much, that was going to be my next question. The only time I have had clogging is when using a many year old filament with bad dimensional accuracy that I did not run it through my dryer. So that is 100% on me.

Still running a V1 Ender 3 pro, though it does have a couple minor upgrades, but that thing is a surprising workhorse

Oh, did you have an issue with clogging before using it? It is not something I deal with often enough to buy a consumable to fix

I lean towards metal frames, so have not had issues in a while, but the couple times I've had plastic frames I have had breakage or warping.

Do you see a huge difference with cleaning filament? I have been seeing it pop up lately, but I haven't had any issues not using it since 2017.

I have had glasses for a very long time and never broken a lens, but I have broken more than my fair share of frames. It takes a lot to break a lens, and plastic frames break pretty easily. The worst with lenses is scratches or chips (though chips are also rare for me), and some of that can be mitigated by cleaning with the right cloth. Not much can be done about drops or other accidents though

JFC it hasn't even been a week and shit is going down. They knew what they were doing would not be allowed to happen, so they pretended to be ICE. In what world is that better?

Of course, happy to help
