Just use it for the porn. Occasionally will click on a trending tweet and immediately get bombarded with tons of Russian propaganda. “Ukraine are Nazis” “America first!” “Look at this poor starving (white) american child, Biden just approved 60 billion to Ukraine!”
All shit like that, it focuses very strongly on what Russia wants Americans to believe, in my experience.
Dont even have to come up with one. Have a friend named Eric Schin
Whenever I’m passing a grate or manhole, I always hold onto my phone and keys. Nothing’s ever happened, I’m just way too paranoid
God its so useless
I’m a repair tech and all you really can do is try to shake as much water out as possible and blow as much water out as possible. It’s not just water that’s a problem, it’s minerals are too. The largest priority after liquid damage is to remove as much of the liquid, and when possible, rinsing individual parts with distilled water thoroughly. You do not have that option with air pods so your only bet is to attempt to rid as much water as you can. Afterwards just run a fan next to it in a dry place.
I’ve got a strict hoa that you probably couldn’t play on it if you tried. Neighbor had a tiny swing hidden under their porch and got fined repeatedly before they took it down. I never see any kids playing on the grass. I bet all of the balls and toys laying about would give them an aneurysm.
Sometimes I’ve noticed Google’s AI overview is a nearly word for word copy of the highest reddit result, or any result.
I’m not sure how and I’m not sure why but scooter is unequivocally the perfect title to resemble your cat. Not that he looks like or even reminds me of a scooter but that whenever I see him, it rings in my ears more ferociously than tinnitus ever could, … “scooter”.
Scooter is one of the first cats I began identifying on lemmy because of the sheer perfection of his name in correspondence to physical presence. I would not believe you if you said you thought of any other names, because no other name could be appropriate for him, aside from scooter.
Yeah, need to hop off windows myself. Just haven’t found the time
If you want to look farther into the strategic and geopolitical side of the conflict, William spaniel has many great videos on it. He is impartial and holds a PHD in political science. He also authored books going over the Russian invasion of Ukraine
From a strategic standpoint, they have no choice. What Hamas is doing is by the book insurgent strategy, that’s been observed in Iraq and Afghanistan, and to lesser extents in WW2 and Vietnam.
Commit an atrocity akin to 9/11 to provoke an enemy attack and hide your forces amongst the population. The initial victim (usa, and in this case, israel) must retaliate against such an atrocity, but their only strategic targets are civilian in nature (as all militants are using them as a meat shield).
Once civilian targets are struck Hamas makes pleas to the international community, for aid, sanctions or isolation of Israel. They pander to civilians, as they’ll die whether or not they join the insurgency. This balloons their numbers and combat strength.
On top of that, all forces begin engaging in brutal urban warfare with costly casualties for the enemy.
Israel (to their voters and population) can’t just “let” Hamas get away for the October attacks so they press their advance, civilians be damned. I believe Hamas are as responsible as Israel for civilian casualties and deaths.
No sides are truly right here, it’s merely a brutal dilemma. Not a problem, those have answers, but a dilemma with no good solutions. Potentially be overthrown by an outraged population or slaughter a bunch of civs. You know what all regimes will do.
I watched a video on dying and one of the common symptoms is seeing family and friends who have already passed. For those who obviously survive a near death experience.
I didn’t mention that the entire meetup was to cook together, everyone got to choose what we cooked, and everything I cooked was for them. They were going to college and most mentioned needing to learn, so I thought I’d show them the basics.
I ended up cooking everything myself alone. It felt disrespectful because they agreed to help and they didn’t bother to include me in their conversation away in the living room.
Personally, used/old hardware is so dirt cheap I think I’ll only buy a gen behind or two. Not unless there’s some breakthrough akin to X3D cache by AMD.
My phone was like 1400$ 3 years ago and now I can buy it used, in good condition, tested, for like 300$
6-8k stones are the most common as they are the best value. You get a decent edge, and the stones are usually around 40$ for a decent one. Right now its unknown the highest grit possible, primarily because with higher and higher grit, manufacturing becomes exponentially more expensive.
Grit is sorted through filters, the finer the filters the faster they clog, and the finer the grit, the more likely they are to float away, or do not have the inertia required to pass it.
There are 2 ways a blade dulls.
Abrasion: abrasive particles in the material rounds the edge of the blade by scraping off microscopic bits of steel.
Microscopic chipping: In this case the steel fracture and pieces break off the edge, revealing a duller edge.
Scratches act as weak points for the latter. Scratches form a sawtooth like shape. People say these “micro-serations” aid in cutting and are even desirable, but I would disagree. The peaks of the teeth break off more easily and the deep grooves provide further weak points. They will dull rather quickly.
Very hard steels (also depends on the type, and the knife, and best treatment, and edge geometry ) will dull significantly from microchipping. If the edge is as robust as possible, it will remain much sharper. The finer the surface, the more robust the edge is.
It gets wayyy more complicated considering edge geometry (just a 1 degree difference can stabilize a chippy edge), natural stones and how they are completely different, glossy vs cloudy finishes (cloudy is better), slurry, omnidirectional scratches patterns, etc.
Morons do not have the forethought to comprehend consequences.
For most people, tools. Most tools will be able to complete the essential tasks. Most people will get by with cheap or used tools.
I have a motto “cheap gets the job done, expensive does it faster”. If you are a hobbyist working on your own time there, feel no pressure to get a “real” tool. Additionally if you are a hobbyist short on personal time, you might want something better.
I remember Bitty very fondly. Distinguished gentlewoman.
