Watching Every Terrible God's Not Dead Movie in 2024: Review and Breakdown - My Friends Call Me Pat
  • Why would you subject yourself to that?

    WHY?!? Even most Christians think they're terrible movies.

  • Russia, Iran and China seen ‘ramping up’ effort to divide US voters.
  • Why wouldn’t they be?

    It’s not like it costs money to creat accounts, or post/comment,

  • Live updates: FBI investigating apparent assassination attempt of Trump in Florida | CNN Politics
  • I don’t know how clear I can be: it’s not a very good measure.

    I’m not even saying it’s a good argument.

    I’m saying Trump is the best argument for it.

    It’s a question of irony. Most hardcore 2a weirdo’s support trump. Yet he’s the best argument for the 2a.

    Make sense?

  • Marjorie Taylor Greene admits she shared false info about Harris 'whistleblower' car crash
  • or she's trying to get back with trump.

    "See I can make shit up too! mines more believable shit!"

    Howler Monkey #2 is... not exactly the smartest person.

  • Trump is safe, his campaign says, after a shooting is reported at his golf course.
  • 'the shooting' is the Secret Service agent doing their job. The story going the rounds is that the agent was doing a sweep ahead of trump, saw a guy with something that looked suspicious and decided to fire on the guy. Whatever happened between recognizing that things were hinky and the shots... well. that's the first question.

    my cursory search on FL carry laws suggest that unless the guy was coming back from hunting, fishing or target shooting, then he's not allowed to open carry (there may be some other exceptions.) It's dubious that's what he was doing... In any case, dude in a public, not-controlled space, not being an active shooter doesn't generally allow for lethal force.

    It's entirely possible the agent walked up and chatted with him, or tried to, and the guy either bolted or gave him reason to justify lethal force.

    But the biggest question of all: why would a guy planning to kill Trump walk around in plain sight waiting for Trump to show up?

    Like. I'm guessing you could see the, uhm, idiocy in that one.

  • Live updates: FBI investigating apparent assassination attempt of Trump in Florida | CNN Politics
  • Did you forget about the part where he started a fucking insurrection because he lost an election fair and square?

    He's basically the reason the 2A exists- to act as a final measure against assholes like trump from coming to power.

    (In the modern era, it's not a very good measure, don't get me wrong. Dudes with rifles- even LMGs- aren't going to hold out against dudes inside tanks and flying UCAVs dropping bombs... and I'm all for not-idiotic gun control. a firearm painted black is not "tactical"... or any more dangerous.)

  • Trump is safe, his campaign says, after a shooting is reported at his golf course.
  • Unless it's a pistol, its either an M16 (or Ar15,), or an AK 47. Them's the rules in horrible reporting involving firearms.

  • Trump is safe, his campaign says, after a shooting is reported at his golf course.
  • "hey bro... you can get Trump to autograph your rifle if you go to that spot and wait for him with it! Hey, I know. Get a go pro and live stream it!"

  • Trump is safe, his campaign says, after a shooting is reported at his golf course.
  • For what it's worth, the shooter was a secret service agent. Nobody else seems to have taken shots.

    which sorta raises questions, dunnit?

  • Man who allegedly tried to assassinate Donald Trump at Florida golf club named. Who is he?
  • running from secret service agents (that are shooting at you.)

    "resisting arrest"

  • Sometimes it's impossible to choose
  • gonna go with "the chineese gymnastics team"

    Largely because it's the only one that isn't universally true. it gets irony points just for that.

  • Live updates: FBI investigating apparent assassination attempt of Trump in Florida | CNN Politics
  • Just gonna say it:

    Donald trump is the single greatest argument for 2A rights we have ever seen.

    Granted: We need at least some basic changes- universal background checks. waiting periods to let those happen. ban bump stocks. ban anything like bumpstocks.Trump being the best argument doesn't change that we need basic reform, and we've needed it for decades.

  • Man who allegedly tried to assassinate Donald Trump at Florida golf club named. Who is he?
  • secret service really can't just shut everything down when he shows up for a golf or something. Especially for his routine and daily life. It sounds like the guy was standing around a public right of way along the perimeter of the golf course.

    my understanding is the agents sweep the next hole ahead of trump getting there, and that's when he was noticed. (I assume control both that, the hole trump is on, and the previous, to keep anyone from coming up behind,)

    the thing I don't understand is how somebody would be just chilling with a rifle out in plain sight like that. Even the PA guy knew to keep the rifle tucked away before it was time, right?

  • Donald Trump Shooting Suspect's Name Revealed
  • I think that was a typo for leaks (Autoincorrect,) but, uhm, here's the times article that came out

  • John Roberts’ secret Trump memo revealed in huge SCOTUS leak
  • but he was holding out for a private jet.

  • John Roberts’ secret Trump memo revealed in huge SCOTUS leak
  • to retire, yes. i remember that, lol.

  • funny. now everyone is talking about this and not the SCOTUS leaks.

    Why bag the hydrant?

    Saw this going to a friend’s house- they bagged the fire hydrants….one thought was snow; but this is the first year apparently. And snow has been a mild issue this year compared to most.

    [question] for the chemistry types- making chicken soup. Why did lemon juice turn the light brown chicken stock almost white?

    Okay, so I was making chicken soup from stock I had made using a (lightly,) browned carcus and neck. just before dumping the the dumplings into it, the stock's color was a nice light brown. I added about 1/4 cup of lemon juice, turned my back for 30 seconds after a stir and it turned it an almost milky-off white. Eventually it deepened to this:

    !

    It's delicious, and tastes as expected, I'm just curious as to what happened in the broth's chemistry?

    Seasoned with salt (duh), a sprig of thyme, some ginger and garlic, (just a hint of ginger,) black pepper, lemon zest (which was added with the torn chicken,) and white wine deglazed the pot from browning the dark meat.

    The stock was from garlic, onion, celery, carrot and maybe ginger scraps cooked with the chicken carcass..

    linear rail upgrades, looking for feed back.

    Due to reasons... I've "adopted" a CR10s that a friend had bought. It was used, and was already well on it's way to being a janky Printer of Theseus. My hope is to get it up and running and put through it's paces before the holidays so I can give it back as a gift.

    With the linear rail upgrades, I picked up the hardware and it's on it's way; which got me looking at how to do the upgrade, which I have mostly figured out; the question I'm having is, most upgrades seem to place the rails on 2020 extrusions sitting on top of the base frame- same as how the original y axis 2040's were designed.

    Which raises the question- why not lower it so the 2020 rails are even with the frame, with the mgn12 rail sitting on top? Like so:

    !

    The short answer I came to is this would necessitate replacing the brackets for the y stepper motor and it's idler; but it should be possible. the easiest solution would be something like:

    !

    which raises the question: are printed parts rigid enough to hold against the tension on the belts? The motors can't handle too much tension anyhow, and the printer already has the screw-cap tensioners for x and y printed that seem to have been holding up well.

    has anybody replaced the OG metal bracket on the back? does it stress and need replacing often, or is it fairly reliable (and above all, consistent,)

    Car wash: touchless or soft touch?

    Which do you use and why? Which one gets it cleaner. If it matters we have “real” winters here, meaning snow cruft and salt that absolutely must be removed.

    Edit to clarify: I’m talking about a choice in automated car washes- not hand washing cars. Seems people are getting confused. Touchless is a few passes with a pressure washer. Soft touch adds spinning car-wash brush things.

    Ship building question

    Okay, so, with structural modules- specifically the cowl/belly/hull modules you can slap in... aside from the trivial gains to hull, are they basically just for attachment points/decoration?

    could i protect things that can be targeted- the weapons, shields, engines, and grav drive- by placing 'under' hull components? or does that just not matter?
