It's very much a "reclaimed word" in the same way the n-word is. Totally cool if one of my queer friends says it, not cool if some rando on the street shouts it at me.

I think it just shows how little they actually value women in any way, shape or form.

They see trans men as a total joke, that they'll never be a "real" man, and of course women would want to be a man! Being a man is the greatest thing ever and only thing these people have going for them, and in effect, transmen affirm their gender identity as being "the best".

It's the same reason they hate transwomen so much. They have such a low view of women, it disgusts them that anyone would willingly lower themselves to that level. It attacks their idea that being a straight white men is the best thing ever, and the idea that maybe it's not, and someone would willingly give up their masculinity and be happier is beyond horrifying to them.

The Lightning has also been out for a few years now, so it's not the "new" thing. Also, I feel like half of those cYbErTrUcK purchases were people trying to resell them.

It doesn't even need to be. So many of my friends have already decided to tune out completely because they're sick of hearing about the nonstop shit.

People are already suffering and dying because of him, let's not make it any easier for him to take lives.

I had the amplifier for my bass shaker die from one, unfortunately. The company was super nice and sent me a refurbished one out of warranty though.

AGM are absolutely awful compared to even the absolute worst lithium batteries, and won't last long at all if regularly cycled below even 50% SoC. LFP chemistries are a bit worse for energy density compared to NCA/NCM chemistries, but they don't contain any nickel or cobalt, and won't autoignite in the same way other chemistries will. Absolutely ridiculous they're suggesting lead batteries over better lithium options.

And Japan, and Canada, and Mexico, and the majority of South America, and a handful of countries in Africa and the Middle East.

The ADL is already fucking apologizing on his behalf and saying he was just being "Enthusiastic" and then went on to say “In this moment, all sides should give one another a bit of grace, perhaps even the benefit of the doubt, and take a breath. This is a new beginning. Let’s hope for healing and work toward unity in the months and years ahead,”

Absolutely spineless fucking cowards, the lot of them.

I live in an area that's listed as one of the top 10 friendliest places to be trans, and I'm still absolutely fucking terrified. The election was basically the point of reckoning for me recognizing I was trans, solely due to the sheer sense of dread I felt towards the potential hatred and violence I might be facing, without explicitly recognizing why I was feeling that way until I put 2 and 2 together.

Or the bump stock bans, or supporting red flag laws saying "Take the guns first, due process second".

The Melon Labia, Y'all Qaida Fudds never actually gave a fuck about gun rights at any point. The Trump admin was far harsher on gun rights than the Obama administration, despite the incessant wailing that gun owners were going to be rounded up any second and put into camps, and yet never said jack shit about it. They're all cowards who just want to kowtow to Cheeto Mussolini, and have never for a moment cared about the rights of anyone.

They're 25W each, so at 150W and ~20¢/kWh in my area, you're talking maybe 35¢ per day if it's on 12hrs a day. Not insane, and probably not running it nearly that often/long.

Wait, seriously? I figured they used a much more power hungry bulb! I've wanted to get one for a while but I'm always so concerned about energy efficiency I've held off buying one because I figured it was like 150W

The Mierdas touch, as some day

I mean, some people literally believe the USA as a country isn't real, and is actually some massive corporation that was formed, IIRC, sometime after the US Civil War. Sovereign Citizens are an interesting bunch to say the least...

Oh no, you got me, genie! hahaha, definitely didn't want this, you got me so good 😉

The story of the filmmaker is probably one of the funniest true crime stories I've ever heard. Obviously, the murder itself is incredibly tragic, because that shitstain just catfished some random guy and murdered him in cold blood purely to stroke his ego, but the story literally feels like a dark comedy.

However, the dude thought he was basically Dexter and far more intelligent than he actually was. He wrote a fucking screenplay describing himself as this super genius sex machine, while documenting his crime in great detail and claiming it was just a coincidence the murder lined up almost identically. Then the way he tried to cover his tracks were so comically inept, it only made his guilt even more obvious.

Is this the recipe for Torgo's Executive Powder?

The Model 3 released in late 2017, while the "Pedo guy" thing happened in late 2018, and the "420 funding secured" fraud was before the Model 3 even officially entered production. The "FSD in 6 weeks maybe" BS had been going on from the earliest Model S days, and I can give a very comprehensive list of all the massive red flags that'd been waving from when the first Roadster rolled off the line.

I can give a pass to anything earlier than the Model 3, just because it wasn't reported on nearly as much and I don't expect people to follow industry news to the same degree I do, but it was still definitely there for people to see if they wanted to. However, Elon has literally always been a massive piece of shit from day 1, and it's only gone downhill from there and especially after the Model 3 was starting production. Anyone trying to convince themselves they bought their car before that was "obvious" is coping hard.

Unfortunately, these actually might not show if the GFI is working, and might give a false negative.

If there is no equipment ground, the outlet must be labeled as such, but it is allowed by code so long as protected by GFI. However, since all these testers do is shunt hot to ground, if there's no ground connected, it won't work and appear if the GFI is not working. However, assuming it's working, it will still do its job, since it they protect against ALL current leakage, and not just ones through the outlet's ground path (otherwise they'd be pretty useless).

I had a "landlord special" where they extended an old 2 wire box with no ground, and my PC case shocked the fuck out of me after I had the carpet cleaned and was walking on the damp floor. A ground would likely have dissapated that bit of current leakage, but also a GFI would have probably tripped when I touched it. They weren't willing to run a new wire with a ground because, unsurprisingly they were cheap fucks, but I convinced them to install a GFI for safety at the very minimum.

Also worth noting that these things are easy to fool for ground, since it's bonded to neutral, and shitty electricians will tie them together at the outlet to trick the tester into seeing a "ground" when it's actually neutral. It's dangerous as fuck, and the only way to check is by taking the plate off and seeing if the outlet is properly wired.
