  • Hate those fucken assholes. Pavement princess driving motherfuckers.

    It literally takes less than 30 seconds to bend down, pull the cotter clip, pull the pin, and toss the hitch end in the bed. Saves the shins and kneecaps of yourself and everyone else.

  • Luckily, I haven't been in a fist fight since highschool. But yeah, I never had much trouble, in bars, myself. Always polite, especially to bartenders and servers, tip well. I've hung out a lot with rough crew. Few times someone got shitty with me, pretty much half the bar would tell them to knock it off.

    Long shot, but you run bingo in drag?

  • Deep south, born and raised. I always preferred a rough bar. Sit in the back smoking a cigar or pipe, sipping bourbon, and watch the show.

    They tore down my first home bar and put up a gas station, I mourn the loss. It was great: bikers shooting up in the bathroom, fights all the time, drug deals, meth head drama, bikers selling moonshine outside. Had a hooker OD and show up dead in the parking lot.

    Met a former roommate and lover there, had to chase her out of my house with a shotgun. She and her boyfriend started smoking meth in my house. Last I heard she went back to Georgia and is doing better.

    Sucks, sometimes, that I had to quit drinking.

  • George Clooney has done some real life Batman shit. He started the Satellite Sentinel Project. using some of his millions. Org's website is https://thesentry.org/

    He rents satellite time and surveils African warlords providing warnings for villages of incoming armies.

  • After increasingly cussing the TV as the level of stupid rose higher and higher, we made it to the part where magic purple witch spray was used. I paused the TV and my girl and I just looked at each other, we were done.

    Also, who the fuck writes in a fucking basement in New Orleans? Not motherfucking Anne Rice. So stupid.

    We're finishing up the second season of Interview with a Vampire. Other than a bad Southern accent in the first season, it's excellent and super queer. Highly recommend.

  • Let’s not do that.

  • I understand social anxiety and such. Public speaking literally gives me the sweats, for instance. I've still had to lead meetings and give presentations.

    I assume this anxiety is common and the root of a lot of the goofy shit you see where you're supposed to name your favorite flavor of jello or sportsball team or whatever. Of course, some of it is corporate NPCs being zombies.

    The forced introduction may be helping the lead personalize you so that they can more effectively communicate. I.e. they're shitting themselves from stress and adrenaline at having to lead this stupid meeting and getting an idea of who you are will calm them down.

  • What's the worst food you've ever eaten?

    Jump

  • Did some searching, apparently it can be variable in taste due to sea urchin diet, freshness, and preparation. There are commercially prepared pastes that aren't very palatable.

    The urchin I had was really expensive and was a special that was rarely available. This sushi place had very good stuff, you could also order freshly grated wasabi from imported Japanese roots (I totally recommend).

    Probably similar to canned crab vs fresh crab. Stuff in the can is terrible and I don't know how people eat it.

  • I kind of like it.

  • That's a party!

    Whos the artist? It's better than a Chick tract.

  • Strange. I've only been able to have it once. I found it to be buttery, with a mild taste, about as fishy as salmon. I really enjoyed it.

  • Trump’s Approval Rating Just Dropped to a New Low

    Jump

  • Yeah, it's disgusting. What's arguably worse is that all this has been known for like a decade. There's all kinds of sound and fury about it now. I figure it's media manipulation by the really rich fucks as warning shot across chump's bow to tell him to quit fucking up the economy and stay in his lane. Soon this fury will decline, even here on Lemmy, and he'll go back to fucking kids or putting them in concentration camps or whatever as long as he quits fucking around with tariffs and global trade.

  • Trump’s Approval Rating Just Dropped to a New Low

    Jump

  • On October 25, 2016, allegations were made by two men stating that Trump had attended and partaken in sex parties filled with underage minor females as young as 15 years old who were induced with promises of career advancement.[174] Illegal drugs were also alleged to have been provided to the minors.[175]

    Wikipedia

    There's another story about Epstein poaching an underage massage parlor worker from chump that pissed him off. Haven't looked for a source.

    Looks like the party line will eventually be that girls that have gone through puberty are really women and that makes it okay. It's pretty disgusting, I'm waiting for them to start making a distinction between pedophilla and hebephillia.

    Like a technical distinction where Fox News brings on a tame doctor that explains that it's normal for older men to fuck/rape 14-15 year old girls.

  • What was something that you thought was overhyped that actually lived up to the hype?

    Jump

  • Dexter Russell carbon steel knives. Some of the patterns are 200 years old. Cheap compared to the high end stuff but they're easy to keep screaming sharp and work great.

    Stainless knives are good for pocket knives that are exposed to sweat, work knives that are in corrosive environments, serrated steak knives that go in the dishwasher. Anything else, pretty much, carbon is king.

  • Huh. Haven't ran across that expression before. Halloween was always queer, I thought. (Dress up and be whoever you want to be, etc.) Halloween and happy fireworks day are my favorite holidays.

  • Oh yeah, he's a shithead just like his mom. Hopefully he loses all custody, the mother of the child is not a total shithead; maybe the kid has a chance.

  • "I have been collecting the little tricks and rules for designing well-printable parts"

    Jump

  • This is a very sharp article. Think I first saw it on Hackaday. I should be using the checklist more often. If there is to be a 3D print bible like Machinery's Handbook, this article is foundational.

    In particular, chamfers and fillets and their relationship to strength by reducing stress risers is often missed on amateur designs.

    I need to look at crush ribs and ribs for screws/bolts more.

    The idea of a sphere being the most efficent shape is counterintuitive when most mechanical design is inherited from subtractive manufacturing. Also, speed holes reducing strength and increasing material usage is wild. These are powerful ideas that are going to cause almost a philosophical change in manufacturing. It's going to take decades. Absolutely mind-blowing stuff when you really think about it.

    DFM, in general, is a woefully underappreciated aspect of engineering. One of the great things about 3D printing is that the designer is generally forced to eat their own dog food.

    MEs should recieve more education about DFM. 3D printing would be an easy way to force them to understand the difficulty poor design causes. Of course, DFM for subtractive is a larger and more complex subject, but printing would at least teach the lesson with a little sting.

  • Nothing wrong with vaping while being blown. Or smoking a cigar. Or receiving a handy. It can be very relaxing and plays into power dynamics.
