Given the quote is from a Democrat state senator, I am guessing at least part of him agrees.

The level of sheer incompetence is also extremely impressive. Evil populist Trump is getting outcompeted by evil-smoothbrain trump that can't understand anything other than bullet points and sounbdbites:

“There’s pressure on the ice agents to be able to pick up 900,000 people in the next six months, which I think is physically impossible,” said Senator Jimenez.

The sheer enormousness of the utterly arbitrary number has meant they've had to eat so many more faces than is politically prudent, to say nothing of it being fucking awful. The leopards are going to get sick. Assuming we still have actual midterm elections, Stephen Miller and Laura Loomer are going to ethnically cleanse the republicans out of the majority.

I'm not going to claim to fully understand the nuances, but the sea ice will melt at about -2C and glacial melt will deposit ~1C water into the system. If the deep water is steady at 3C or 4C, sending it up could accelerate melting of both.

Nope.

That is, instead of sinking into the depths, surface water is being replaced by deep water masses rising to the surface, bringing with them heat and carbon dioxide (CO₂) that had been trapped for centuries.

I had to look up that last part, as it seemed counter-intuitive, but apparently deep ocean water bottoms out at 4 degrees C.

If they do, they're called waders.

We lost our older guy a couple of weeks ago, and he hated them, as did our three other dogs over the last twenty years. The younger one and the new puppy didn't seem to care that much, only getting a little jittery when we were outside and a particularly loud one went off.

First off, I actually agree with you that strawberry is better, though for strawberry I usually use jam or preserves. I do like grape jelly fine though.

Second, I’ll use this opportunity to describe the best way to make a PB&J. You need three pieces of bread and a toaster. Toast one and only one piece of bread. PB goes on the untoasted, and J on both sides of the toast, which now goes in the middle. Adds texture without altering the flavor profile or making it even messier like potato chips, and it improves the bread-to-filling ratio. Using PB-only on the untoasted slices also makes for a moisture barrier to keep the J from soaking through.

No worries. The waters get muddied by members of the HoR often being addressed as Congresswoman/Congressman.

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Congress = Senate + House of Representatives

Late to the game on this one, but Thomas "Chyrosran22" reviewed this board. I watched it a while ago, but IIRC, it boiled down to "pretty mediocre board, but fine, elevated by the keycaps."

3, but the pajamas erasure here is unfortunate.

The basic argument being that, no, men are not being pushed out of the traditional publishing houses by "woke-ass DEI feminazis," but rather that the overall decline of publishing as a business, and particularly of serious literary publishing, has meant that people with lower cachet in the workforce (i.e. women) are the ones willing to do the work for less money, and also that modern opportunities tend to go to aspiring authors who are willing to build an audience on their own, generally online, and then take their brand to a publisher with a built in floor of book buyers. Again, the need for "hustle" and enduring public scrutiny and largely unpaid creative labor is more likely to be done by people who sense they have fewer options in the "traditional" business world.

The gruff but masculine "man of letters" who's too proud to promote himself is no longer able to bully his way into publishing houses by the sheer force of his brilliance and persistence (and contacts and privilege), so he ends up whining and letting his misogyny flag fly instead of burying it in subtext.

I messed up in a million ways, but I managed not to screw it up too badly to be happy with it. It used 35-year-old switches and keycaps. Case is dowel joints, an up-jumped rustic picture frame. This was also my first keyboard build with QMK firmware and then the VIAL config tool. Some lessons:

  • ALPS stabilizers are a pain.
  • Don't let sleepy English majors design PCBs after midnight. Seriously, the thing barely works for this layout, but should be slightly better for Cherry MX switches.
  • One is strangely zen when one accidentally deletes all the PCB design files for such a flawed PCB. Still have the fabrication Gerber, but with half a dozen errors that's very near to useless.
  • Don't be a coward with your woodworking. There is a bigger gap between case and keys than I'd like.
  • On the other hand, don't be stupid. The pecan inlay on the back may be there to cover up where I sliced right into the dowels joining the frame together.
  • Sandpaper and Danish Oil forgive many sins.

… especially if the neighborhood is filled with little shits with too many electrified toys.

EDIT: Okay, I'm convinced. Regular bikes would actually be a sensible cause here. Let me be a curmudgeon though.
