  • Demographics. It may not be the case anymore but in the early days of the internet it was a majority American males. That trope has stuck around.

    And statistically, vegans are roughly twice as likely to be women.

  • Good career advice

    Jump
  • Yeah, but that's because they manage to post in every. single. thread. It's impressive.

  • Not so hot take: My time is finite, why force myself to see shitty facebook memes, dog pictures, crusty "battlestations", etc.?

  • At a point the garbage to quality ratio gets too high to do that. Yeah, I'm sure some decent folks get blocked when you block a whole instance, but there's plenty of other people in non shithole instances to more than make up for it. I just use whichever method is most efficient at cleaning up my feed at the time.

  • I just uncheck "Show bot accounts" Gets rid of most.

  • Absolutely one of the Ender 3s. Easy to find around $100, especially if you live near a Microcenter. They are such popular printers that any problem you may have has already been asked and solved.

    If you're mainly interested in figurines, then a resin printer will give you better quality. But it comes with smelly chemicals and more work/cleanup.

  • A vacuum sealer is your friend. I buy giant bags of everything now and split it up into single serving portions that last a long time.

  • They aren't. Suppressors require a $200 tax stamp and background check to purchase in the US. The only illegal part is possessing one without paying that tax.

  • This dude in Maine had tried to get a silencer. Wonder how much worse it would have been if everyone didn’t hear the reports and start running.

    Hard to say. It's not like the movies. With the firearm he had (.308 with ~14-16" barrel), a silencer/suppressor only brings the volume down from "instant tinnitus" to "still loud enough to cause permanent hearing damage". It's far from silent. I'd never thought about it until now but I wonder if a silencer/suppressor could have increased surviveability. When people heard gunshots at volumes they would expect, they might be less disoriented. Verses the muzzle flash and concussion that comes from what he was shooting (basically a semi-auto flash bang).

  • For 60k miles or just past the powertrain warranty. Then he says "later suckers! Find yourself a new tranny."

  • “We like to keep families together,”

    I really hope that's a subtle way of saying "All these MFs going to jail"

  • Hell, they even published a book detailing their plans.

    The book emphasizes that Russia must spread geopolitical anti-Americanism everywhere: "the main 'scapegoat' will be precisely the U.S."

    Russia should use its special services within the borders of the United States and Canada to fuel instability and separatism against neoliberal globalist Western hegemony, such as, for instance, provoke "Afro-American racists" to create severe backlash against the rotten political state of affairs in the current present day system of the United States and Canada. Russia should "introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics".[9] Aleksandr Dugin later recorded himself endorsing the presidency of Donald Trump in the 2016 election, expressing agreement with him and his proposed set of policies.

  • They're on the case

    Lucien Greaves, the cofounder and spokesperson for The Satanic Temple, says his organization may submit its own application if the decision stands.

    “We’ll consider opening an alternative school if the courts uphold a flagrantly self-serving & uneducated, utterly unqualified & ignorant school board’s vote to overturn the constitution,” Greaves tweeted.

    Rajan Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, said the board should now welcome other religious groups like Buddhists, Muslims, Christians, Hindus, Jews, Sikhs, and Bahai’s when they present their applications in the future.

    Zed says he has written to the board to apply for a Hindu virtual charter school but has not received a response.

  • I doubt these cameras can sustain that kind of uninterrupted use,

    I had an old HTC phone that I used as a garage security camera for 2-3 years straight. It had to be restarted every couple months, but otherwise worked fine. Now you can get a $20 IP camera that surpasses it in every way tho.

  • Using it for trials? No. Using it to skirt taxes? Doubtful, but possible. If you stiff the state $6 on an x-box game, noones going to notice. Short them a couple thousand and they might.

  • I mostly use privacy.com for trials that I don't want to have to worry about cancelling later. It's also handy that privacy.com cards will allow you to put whatever you want as your billing address (for example, purchasing digital goods and setting your location to one that doesn't have sales tax).

  • Maybe the conflict is better than the solution.

    Please expound.
