It’s actually a portal to Hell.

I’m not sure, but you should be careful while handling this stuff. It seems like it’s hazardous - the dust it produces in particular. You’re not supposed to handle it without gloves. I also can’t find any info about drying it out safely if the dust it produces isn’t supposed to be breathed in.

Maybe you’ve done this research already, and I’m overthinking this, but whatever you wind up doing, just be safe.

Well, we have been meaning to talk with you about your forehead odor.

I used to use those mesh strainers for hops when I was still brewing beer. I would use them for desiccant drying too, but I don’t think my oven maintains low temperatures well enough to not melt the beads.

I got a food dehydrator instead which I think would work with your 3D printed desiccant holders if you make them out of the right materials.

Nothing can ever be perfect. We have AI detection capabilities to identify faked videos. You’ll never convince 100% of any group of anything. We still have to sway as many people as possible. Not every voter is a conspiracy nut.

It’s because they still had the trebuchet, long may it reign!

And nothing does that better than video evidence. Fortunately, virtually every cell phone still in existence can record video.

I might agree that the Democrats need to strip down messaging to better concentrate on winning back working class voters, but arguing that progressives are the reason the party sucks is looney. Progressives are the main group screaming about wealth inequality!

Kamala failed to convince voters that the Democrats would address the issues affecting their wallets. She mentioned some policies that I think would help, but she also said that she wouldn’t do anything different from Biden. I think that was a major disqualifier for her among voters. Biden isn’t responsible for the economic effects from the pandemic, but he was still in charge, so some people are going to blame him. Saying you’re not going to do anything different doesn’t inspire confidence.

I know that things won’t get better for the average person under Trump, but Kamala and the rest of the Democrats need a major fucking wake up call. If they want to win again, they’ll stop cozying up to billionaires and start fighting hard for the working class.

Anything that doesn’t focus on the class war is ultimately a distraction. Start winning the class war, and then the party will get strong enough to do something for everyone - including special interests.

It looks similar, but no, that’s not a Steam Deck

I can’t stand to use a touch screen for anything 3D, however I can tolerate 2D gaming that way with an on-screen controller overlay. I almost never use my phones for gaming though.

I’m in South Carolina, so that wouldn’t work so well here since everyone already knows what that means. I do agree that not giving them the opening to elaborate is key.

I’ve often said that in order to redirect a conversation because I don’t like the opinion of the person I’m talking to and not because I’m actually ignorant about the subject.

This happens at work mostly, and I can’t just nuke that bridge with the person because we have to keep being able to work together. I’d like to tell them off for being ignorantly intolerant, but instead it’s more effective to just take away their enthusiasm for whatever they’re talking about. Do it enough times and they’ll eventually find someone else to bother.

Voyager has this too, and I’ve put it to great use recently.

I never argued the movies were good

I feel the same way, but the Clone Wars animated series really changed my opinion on what Lucas was going for with Anakin’s fall. The movies didn’t execute on the idea all that well, but when you add in the extra background the Clone Wars added, I think it made a lot more sense.

People judge him so harshly, but like, who among us hasn’t slaughtered a group of children?

Minute watched

To be clear the Democratic Party is a private organization and they can do whatever they want. It’s completely within their rights to say “we need to stop Bernie Sanders” and put in action a plan to do just that.

Legally speaking, yes. Ethically, fuck no. When they admitted Bernie into the party so he could run in their primary, they created a huge chain of events that involved thousands of people and millions of dollars. It’s wrong for them to allow such a charade to go on if they have no intention of honoring their own voters.

Your existence might be a blessing, but I live in constant pain with genetic diseases that I couldn’t prevent and can do very little about. The cost of healthcare has nearly bankrupted me multiple times, and Trump being elected again is most definitely not going to improve any of this for me.

You’re a monster
