How many other examples would you like?

He has been asked in interviews several times.

As you may have noticed, he continues to not run for office.

But the Canadian government insisted that no nuclear weapons existed on Canadian soil. This

So the sign at the outskirts declaring Regina to be a "nuclear weapons free zone", while technically correct, is more than a bit disingenuous?

Panama was one of the things he ranted about in his speech today.

is brevity no longer the soul of wit??

Maybe, if that's your only goal.

Trying to make any sort of nuanced or subtle point about anything important is pretty much impossible in such an artificially limited format, though.

Sure, simple political memes can be done in a compact frame, but actually discussing the framework surrounding that meme, or trying to correct a bit of misinformation is not really possible to do under those same limitations of time or character count.

I'm constantly surprised that those fools haven't run out of money yet.

Stupider, yes, but they seem to have learned one thing - fire all the competent people and replace them with lackeys who won't try to interfere with implementing your intrusive thoughts simply because they're illegal or pointless or impossible to do.

At my former job, I saved a ridiculous number of email chains that showed my objections and the management reply to just do it in a folder I creatively named "CYA".

For our non-American friends, subzero in Fahrenheit is actually cold.

Is it?

I'm looking out the window at my thermometer telling me that it's -27C right now.

Nothing is permanent

Maybe not, but some types of damage can take a very long time to heal.

there's a LAN only option. I enabled it today.

Do you trust it to not "phone home" anyway?

Are you also preventing it from automatically getting an update?

I guarantee he will be the first US President to cause more suffering to his own citizens than foreign citizens.

It's not beyond the realm of possibility that he could accidentally start a war somewhere in the world. Or make an existing one much worse than it already is.

Personally, I never saw the appeal of TikTok anyway.

Then again I also was never interested in Twitter.

I guess my attention span isn't short enough for that type of sites.

Once you see people start defending Russia it’s over

If that's what you are looking for, the .ml server has you covered already...

I hate community notes, it's a cost free way of fact checking with no accountability

And it lets certain communities brigade the notes with misinformation/disinformation to try and control the narrative.

Our countries were like best friends for so long

If you guys could have not voted in a hostile garbage idiot whose idea of strength is going all bull in a China shop that friendship could have remained warn and fuzzy.

But now that you've gone and re-elected the guy who treated us like we're a hostile enemy (and said as much 5-6 years ago), we don't have much choice other than to take a few steps back and see other people.

.

I hope you guys can fix your issues, so we can feel like we can trust you again, but until then we have to do what's right for ourselves.

Electro chemical machining can make a barrel.

Yes, but that's not 3d printing any more.

It's a separate process requiring separate tools, materials and skills.

Or the metal parts needed to make a "3d printed gun" function as anything other than a random suicide generator.

You can't print 100% of a functional gun on a consumer printer unless you are willing to accept it blowing up in your hand after a shot or 2.

shown that but I guess Americans didn't want to be outdone on stupid self destructive acts.

The percentage of Americans that are aware of Brexit, let alone the problems with it, is vanishing small.
