Tankies literally ally with the bad to fight the good. And perfect doesn't exist.
No they aren't rotten. It just tastes like vegetables covered in sauce, like cabbage does. Cabbage also tastes slightly sweet. It doesn't have the same texture or taste as real pasta, unless you're someone has never had pasta in your life and have nothing to compare it to.
Everytime I try this it's disgusting. Tastes nothing like actual spaghetti. Just tastes like a plate full of cabbage with spaghetti sauce on it.
That said, I did find that spaghetti squash jap chae is pretty good. Doesn't have the right texture as actual jap chae but the sauce carries it, and it works better.
Nah. The millennials would need to play and beat the game and then come to online forums to bitch. We don't have that amount of free time.
They are nearly always Zoomers and younger. (Or college kids and teenagers if I'm getting the generations wrong again)
One difference is machine size. A bed slinger needs enough room to sling the bed around. I have a Snapmaker Artisan and its humongous because of this.
arrest any judge that dares rule against the order, all the way up to the SCOTUS ... it seems the president has this authority now.
Just because the other side is doing this, this is not where we want to be as a country. The country would devolve into non-existence if both sides were acting as lawlessly as Republicans are now. What needs to happen is they need to face real consequences for breaking our democracy as much as they have been.
Let me guess, you didn't vote in 2024, and bitched about Democrats the entire time. How's the Trump regime working out for you kreskin?
You're a chump that thinks the Democrats are out to attack progressives. Maybe don't be an uneducated dork.
almost universally want authoritarianism and dictatorships? those are far right positions
These are both far right and far left positions. That's what I'm saying.
The left tends to want some flavour of socialist democracy.
Yes, the center-left wants this. The far-left wants revolutions and purity tests, burning down the system, and leaving minorities to die and fend for themselves while they wage their "class war".
What far right labels as far left
Why would you depend on the far right for any kind of accurate definition? Bernie is not far left in reality. He is center left.
In one notoriously hard class, my professor would post practice exams from previous years.
It turned out he also basically reused exam questions from previous years, so doing these practice exams basically landed me a perfect score in a class where the exam average usually hovered around 60%.
My peers, who refused to do the practice exams, even after I repeatedly told them of their existence and using them as my study method, accused me of cheating because I practiced using the practice exams the teacher posted with the explicit purpose of having us practice with them.
I think they were just mad I ruined the curve.
Idk, the number of 60-80 year olds on my gay fetish apps sliding into my DMs seem to contradict this "lack of boomer LBGTQ" idea.
Yes pro authoritarian far left that's basically communism.
I'd say it's the stages before communism. When the authoritarians have to take all the power to give it to the people. The problem is that is impossible. Once the authoritians have taken all the power, they never give it up. So real communism doesn't exist and can never exist because it always requires some type of revolution and central organization after the effects of the revolution. And that central power will never give up that power.
So just because they haven't reached "true" communism doesn't mean they are all of a sudden now on the "far-right".
Today's tankies are still considered far-left.
You can be both pro-authoritarian and far left. In fact, that's kind of the definition of far left.
Tankies have almost nothing in common with the far left
This doesn't make sense because tankies are the far left. What you're thinking of as far left is actually center left.
They aren't on the political spectrum at all because they don't believe in any kind of governance.
Looking for something that is kind of whiteboardy-pinteresty way of creating idea boards from images, text, links, etc. that isn’t tied to a subscription and I have full control of. Any ideas?
I’m looking for something that is less linear than Obsidian, but I do like Obsidian a lot for other things.

I keep trying to learn to draw but I simply suck at it no matter what. I’d love to learn how to draw all kinds of things like architectural drawings, or cute designs, etc. But I can barely even copy something if I have the picture right in front of me.
I’d like to take a class that teaches the basics of drawing that I could follow along with using Procreate or something. Does anyone have good recommendations for someone who seems unable to gain any proficiency at drawing?
One of my life goals is to own an Airstream or something similar that I can renovate. However we live in an urban area with no place to park it. I do eventually want to own an acreage in a desirable place but that goal is much further off but I would like to start on my Airstream goal a little sooner.
The typical option is rent a space to park it. I can afford it but this feels like throwing money away especially since I have no control over the rent cost, if I'd get kicked out eventually, or maybe I just don't get around to working on the Airstream that often. The timeline of renting is indefinite also.
The other option is buying some land on the cheap if possible. This wouldn't be my dream land. Maybe just a lot somewhere I could park it. I would want to get rid of the land at some point to fund the purchase of my dream land and am wondering if there is some major risk to this? Or is it a good investment?
I'd imagine paying all cash for it.
They will find you and swarm if their "liberal senses" tingle from anywhere.
Found on a lemmy.zip post. These posts all happened within an hour of each other so there is definitely some coordination happening if not outright botting.
We often think lots of animals are cute. Do some animals think humans are cute?
First time I'm trying coil building. It's definitely more relaxing than the wheel and I feel like I can make more organic shapes. Also I'm not skilled enough to get this size on the wheel yet.
We'll see if this survives two kiln firings.
Democrats today are more likely to say they want their party to become moderate than they were four years ago, according to a Gallup poll published Thursday. The survey, conducted in the first week of President Trump’s second term, gauged partisan preferences on the ideological direction of respondents’ respective parties. Among Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents, 45 percent say they want their party to become more moderate, while 29 percent say they want the party to become more liberal, and 22 percent say they want the party to stay the same.

These are some mugs i made a while back. Still trying to find my process. I drew the linework on Affinity Designer on the iPad and printed out the line work. Used a pencil to scratch out the line work and further carved it. Then painted with underglaze then brushed clear glaze on top after bisquing.
I think I would forgo the clear next time.
Learned my lesson. Will never do that again even though my boss’s boss told me to.
I’m officially quiet quitting and changed my LinkedIn to Open To Work, because fuck this job. The market sucks though so I’ll have to just fly under the radar for a few months until something better pops up.
I hate the fact that I have to work, and I’m just saving up enough money till I can get to the point where I can get some land and be self-sufficient on it.
I think a lot of people are unsure what to do right now. We are all against what is happening but there is too much happening to for us to demonstrate against it all. We need something to demonstrate in favor for. One vision we can all share and keep pushing our leadership to support. A secession from the crumbling US and a formation of a new country.
I feel like I've dealt with some utterly uncalled for behavior from people at work recently. Like them blowing up at me about something if I'm just asking a polite question, etc.
I just tell myself "maybe they're having a bad day".
But I think about myself. I have bad days too. I never let it get to the point where I'm exploding at someone. I extricate myself from the situation, maybe fume about it privately, but I don't go on a rampage or yell at someone. In any rare case where I do end up letting a bit slip out I always apologize for it.
These people NEVER apologize to me for their outbursts. Why am I the only one walking on eggshells and trying to maintain professionalism, politeness, and kindess with people who seem to make no effort to regulate their own stress.
Someone having a bad day isn't an excuse to be bad human being with zero consequences. But it seems these people can get away with it because of how much power they hold in the company.
I honestly don't think I have it in me to as rude as some of these people so I'll probably just swallow their rudeness until the next time it happens while continuing to try to be kind and polite.
Have others had similar experiences?
PETG has always been more fraught than PLA for me but as of late it just looks like a mess.
I'm just trying to do calibration at this point and I'm getting this mess on the pressure advance test in Orca Slicer.

I get so much stringing, boogers, and just terrible prints. It didn't used to be this bad. Any tips?
I'm using a Snapmaker Artisan.
I'm a dumbass and had someone come out and install a 240v outlet (and 120v). The reason I'm a dumbass is I didn't measure and had them install it in a place it wouldn't work for the appliance I am using.
I need to move the outlet a lot closer to the breaker box so I won't need additional wire or material, less actually.
I'm debating doing this myself. I technically have an EE degree but my day job is primarily coding, and any electronics I've worked on are usually the micro variety. I am aware of all the electrical safety requirements and in terms of technicality/connections, I think I just need to copy what has already been done but just remove a bunch of wire and place the outlet closer.
Do you think this is something I could take on myself with some research? My brother-in-law is also a proper electrician and I can facetime him.
Or do you think I should just ask the guys who installed it back and have them do it?
I have a large space under our deck that is enclosed and have been turning into a sort of shed. Every time I go in there though I'm super itchy all over like something has been biting me. I don't see any insects though. However I am bad at noticing things like bugs.
Any ideas?
I'd like to say they could enjoy the company of more liberals if they didn't ban them on sight due to their desire to feel superior and inability to tolerate differing opinions, but I couldn't respond because I was banned. (Ban reason: "liberalism")
I’m getting the electrical for a kiln put in tomorrow and I’m pretty stoked. I’ve been doing pottery on and off for the last couple of years now and one of the bottlenecks has always been not being able to do my own firings.
I particularly like to test my own glazes and experimenting with stuff like that is hard to do in a community kiln. I’d feel so guilty if something happened and I ruined someone else’s piece, so I’ve been looking forward to doing my own firing.
Anyway, the problem now is deciding what kiln to get. My initial idea was just go get a Skutt KMT-1027-3. It’s expensive but I’m sure it would just work. (Price: ~$5000)
But I am kind of hacky too and I love a good electronics project, so I’m toying with the idea of getting a KilnSitter model of the 1027 and putting together my own controller with a Raspberry Pi. I would love to be able to control my kiln with some open source software from my phone like I can do with my 3D printers using Octoprint. (Price: ~$1500)
Then there is the question of whether or not the 1027 is too much kiln for me in the first place. It’s quite large and I am not a fast producer so it would probably take me a while to fill the kiln unless I was doing a lot of large objects or platters. But I like the ability to do these if I want to, so I don’t want to limit myself with a kiln that is too small. (Price: ~$3000)
There’s also one guy asking for $3500 for a used Skutt KM (non-touch) 1027 and I think he’s asking too much for a used kiln but it is cheaper than the brand new models and does include kiln furniture. So that’s another route. (~Price : ~$3500)
Any tips about which route I should take?
Edit: Just an update about what I ended up doing. I decided to get an L&L E23T kiln from Craigslist that the seller bought new but never fired due to life circumstances.
So it was basically brand new. The size is comparable and it still ended up costing me around $5k but also included a lot of the kiln furniture, a mobile stand, and the kiln has a lot more features than the one I was originally looking at. All those add ons would have probably cost another 1k at least and the purchase ended up helping a nice elderly woman come up with cash she needed for a relocation closer to family.
I do feel like I maybe bit off more kiln capacity than I can chew. With the size of this kiln I can see me doing like maybe only a handful of firings a year since I'm not a very productive potter. I may do a kilnshare in the future though to help out local potters in my area to keep it getting used though.

peregrin5 @lemm.ee Leftists decided punishing Democrats was more important than the rights of marginalized people living in the US, so now we have Trump. Thanks leftists. You're the reason we will have concentration camps again.
