  Can’t wait to see how well it works to glue armored panels on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Boys and beans and...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Levi’s 569 are my jam

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has JD Vance ever tried a tree?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, but when I saw her I thought “yeah I’d have fun with her” not “my god look at that tall rough barked tree over there, wonder if there are any good holes”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has JD Vance ever tried a tree?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wouldn’t think of him as a dendrophile.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Brits had an anthem ready for when Margaret Thatcher died. Americans should also be prepared.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So I hadn’t heard this song and went looking for it. There are so many songs celebrating her death. motherjones.com/…/7-songs-margaret-thatcher-funer…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨To whom it may concern⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is how we save the USPS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk's Social Platform X has filed a lawsuit agains Minnesota, challenging a law banning political deepfakes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Something that has been bothering me lately. Reasonable people who counter the toxic misinformation leaving the platform only allows the disease to grow and spread. But reality is they weren’t reaching the people that needed the dose of reality anyway. And then I realized that the algorithms have always been the disease, my feeds are my own echo chamber to drive engagement, just as theirs are. I’ve pretty much cut all social networks out. The only way to change minds is honest respectable conversation, and I am not a person to change anyone’s mind.

  We’re fucked

  And if the only people willing to work for the tyrant only kids the ring, it will take a long while for someone to stop his worse actions, if anyone ever does.

  I don’t believe in heros, they were just brave enough or dumb enough and in the right place to do some good. And that might actually describe this guy. But still just a flawed person.

  I absolutely disagree with much of what Liz Cheney supports, but I’ll still give her props for serving on the J6 committee knowing what it could mean for her career.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Alternatives to Roku/AppleTV for Jellyfin Client⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Been using Onn boxes for years and absolutely love them. They are about as pure android TV as you can get. I would definitely recommend the 50$ pro version over the 20$ original though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Security is an illusion⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  A crack house at least has a sustainable economy, a purpose, and a business model. The US is more like a lemonade stand set up by a 4yo who made lemonade by picking grass and mixing it with hose water

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FL wants more child labor⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It might rein him in on tariffs and attempted land theft but it is unlikely to continue past that. Though I do believe that the boycott of American made may be longer lasting than those threats and as an American I actually appreciate those boycotts. Those in power need to understand what isolationism actually means.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FCC chair says we’re too dependent on GPS and wants to explore ‘alternatives’.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Subscription based navigation? Want to use your car’s navigation system, there’s a fee for that? Want to fly a drone, that’ll be 9.99/month. Hopefully there will be a carve out for emergency systems.

  This will also allow Tesla to up their traffic game. If everyone is using the Starlink GPS for navigation they’ll have all the data.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I was a Health Care CEO after Luigi and felt in fear of my life from someone else how would I hire security? What would be a good deal? And does security act like the Secret Service to take a bulle⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You don’t hire security you buy your popularity. Lower executive pay. Raise worker pay. Remove restrictions on coverage approval. Not saying pay for everything, but don’t avoid paying when it’s covered.

  Improve your status with employees and the public and you didn’t have to worry about getting shot in the street.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Star Trek is dying." How would you sell it to a younger audience?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I fell in love with Star Trek through TNG and reruns of the original series. I remember watching reruns of both for hours on end. DS9 and Voyager were great as well. What kept me interested and engaged was the network accessibility. I haven’t watched any of the series since Voyager because they weren’t available without a subscription.

  You want a growing fanbase, you need to remove the walls.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk wants the U.S. to “Liberate the people Britain from their tyrannical government”⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Save them from a tyrannical government by dissolving the elect members?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you are a young person you have no idea how bad everyone and everything smelled until at least the 1990s.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Best summer smell. The smell of quality cow flesh slowly cooking over an open flame is one of the best.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Read this if you own a Juicebox EV charger⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is why I prefer “smart” controls for dumb things. If the control gets bricked I can replace it or the thing will still work without it.
