The suffering is the point. It's got nothing to do with morals or human rights or the death penalty or abortion or "Christian values". It's all about making "those people" suffer.

Great write up, thank you for that

It's always the redhead. Always.

I guess I'm in the minority, but I really like it

So you'd normally say "that's too much!" in which case the subject "that" is plural and countable so therefore "much" would be correct.

Otherwise you should say "you have given me too many refried beans!" since the beans are volumetric and not countable entities.

It's been a while since I've done long exposure photography and composites, but my recollection is that excessive noise is a symptom of long exposure and high ISO, and stacking multiple shorter exposures into a composite will significantly reduce the noise of the final photo.

I mean, I'm a guy, I generally just leave the seat down 99% of the time and pee without lifting it. If there's any drips or splashes I'll just wipe it up. But every time I go in to poo or pee sitting down at night I always just check to make sure the toilet is how I want it. There's no reason not to just give it a quick check.

Are these women just... How to say this delicately... Dumb? Like you walk into the bathroom facing the toilet. You can't help but see it. Are you telling me they drop their pants and just do a trust fall onto the rim? I'm guessing no. I think it's a meme and women just don't want to have to put the lid up before going.

Same in VA, but if you buy a 6 pack to go, you cannot crack one open if you decide to stay, it may only be consumed off-site. Some won't even give you the beer until you have already closed your tab and are on the way out.

I mean, I'm sure there's a statistic that someone can look up but as many people as are on the planet, I feel like there would always be someone within shouting distance if not closer. I guess it really depends on how fast the earth is moving and what the frame of reference is.

Similarly, ranch powdered baked pork chops are super delicious. Get the thin sliced ones if you can find them

 

Basically title, this symbol is on the tires of my new (to me) CAAD12. Are the tires on backwards? The right side of the picture is the front of the bike, the left side is the rear. This is the front tire. Another picture below showing which way the tread is facing. The tread "looks" right, it appears it would channel water away from the center correctly.

 

I got the when travelling abroad for work in Morocco. I paid about 20 USD for them from a street vendor.

Basically title: What is the preferred or most efficient way of cleaning light colored key caps?

I'm guessing that putting the whole keyboard in the dishwasher is probably out.

Do you all just pull all the keys and clean them with a towel or something in a mild soap solution?

This would give me a good chance to be disgusted by all the hair and junk that accumulates between the keys too, so there's that.

Thanks for the help, and sorry for the newbie question, but someone's gotta ask them.

 

Also, I didn't realize how grungy the underside of my espresso machine looked! Going to have to do something about that.

 

Hey all, so this is the biggest thing I've tried to print. I'm using PETG. I'm getting a lot of repetitive bands of underextrusion that seem to stack up and get worse as the print progresses.

What do you think is causing this? Is this just an inherent thing in the way an Ender 3 works by moving the bed?
