That’s some solid reframing, bro 👍

Alimentation

It smacks of Victorian literature. I’ll be adding this one to my verbiage, thanks.

The comparison in this case is operating on the word half, not on the subject of the sentence:

Only half want to get married, even less [than half] want kids.

The target being the executives who will approve the marketer’s work.

Maybe $100. Almost all of the upgrades were printed. I bought an all metal hotend and a glass bed. I think that’s it. Probably more like $70.

Ew no. I’m still on my ender 3 pro version 1 from 2019. It’s upgraded to the teeth and works great.

There’s no way I’d throw away all that work for a locked down corporate spy machine that uses lots of proprietary, nonstandard parts.

The whole benefit of texting instead of calling is that it is an asynchronous form of communication. The conversation can continue while at the same time other things are happening. Since other things are happening, that means replies aren’t always prompt, and that the benefit.

If you want immediate replies, use a phone call instead. You know, the form of communication that is directly suited for that.

Not to mention that people don’t always have cell service. I take all weekend to reply to a text sometimes if I’m at home, because I don’t get service unless I drive to town.

Nice work!

Have you found a good website with information for sewing machine repair? Mine needs some serious recalibration, but somehow all I can find is the most basic info on user-level adjustments.

Normally I have no trouble finding detailed technical info, but for some reason I just can’t find it for sewing machines.

Once you have the model you should at least get a quote from a machine shop. 99% chance it’s way too expensive, but you never know and quotes are free.

How often do you find yourself writing upside down in space?

Bye bye DEW line!

So still bad?

but almost all consume materials that were produced by raping children.

So what’s your take on lolicon?

That’s not what was said though. They didn’t talk about the concept, they spoke about the Olympics. They straight out said:

The Olympics are one of the best things humanity does. … the Olympics are one of the only times the whole world comes together to at least attempt to do something positive.

Which is objectively untrue. It is not a global positivity exercise; it is not the world “coming together”. That’s just their marketing bullshit.

It is just a business that profits off people without compensating them.

I don’t know where that comes from, and it’s always bothered me that fantasy and sci fi conflate the two words.

Homo sapiens is the species, not the race. So racism will still mean the same thing as it means now.

Guess who runs the Olympics?

I wonder what we’re going to call it when actual aliens show up. Then xenophobia will literally mean fear of aliens, so what will we call fear of foreign nationals?

Pretty sure clown shows are just called circuses.
