yeah. its ridiculous. Rather than accept that there’s some inaccuracies and that parts of the bible contain mistakes and say something like “but most of it is true” … they double down, triple and quadruple down. They have to get increasingly improbable theories to explain how all this evidence isn’t really real. Fossils are planted by satan, to lead people astray; there’s a massive World Order whose sole job is to keep this secret for some strange reason.

like. they could just build a rocket and launch it into space and see for themselves. Or some really simple experiments involving sticks and shadows. that allowed them to determine the distance of the sun from the earth, it’s circumference, and can be replicated with some lumber and fifty bucks in the gastank.

Also, they believe the earth is flat because the Bible says so; and the earth is young because the Bible says so, and that science is the devil’s work because it contradicts a book written by Bronze Age goat herders retconned by a guy in the Iron Age that got killed for telling the Roman’s he was king of the Jews.

It’s definitely being under extruded. As to what’s causing that, my first guess would have been a clogged nozzle… but if it’s happening not-at-random, it’s probably not that.

is there a way to see a log of hot end temps across the prior prints? it could be that something is causing the the machine to speed up putting out more plastic and the hot end struggling to keep up, though I’m just spitballing here.

Getting rid of public acknowledgement about class disparity isn’t going to get rid of class disparity,

that article isn’t recognizing class disparity, though. it’s perpetuating and normalizing it. and yes, the people that are bigots are absolutely also part of the problem. the media is complicit in that, though, including that article.

if you’re looking for baking stuff, King Arthur Flour has a lot of good and reliable recipes (and if you have problems, a help line, heh.)

But generally, I find them on the internet or wherever. I’m not a fan of allrecipes or other recipe aggregates. I generally don’t trust YT recipes unless they’re someone whose got some chops, so to speak. (rando content creator recipes make me cry harder than onions.)

I’ll also pass on any recipe touted as “easy” or similar. Not because I don’t like easy, but because a lot of times they take dubious shortcuts or add things that don’t really belong. For example, you really should use a ham hock for your pea soup. (or at the very least, pork/bone broth,) yes, it takes time. yes, it maybe more complicated. But it’s not nearly as good otherwise… and it’s not that difficult, really.

And has your family started the “well she should have just complied” victim blaming?

and they exist, in large part, because articles like this normalize it.

congratulations in defending part of the problem.

And in making that argument, it signals to the racist assholes that the problem being that she’s white, blonde and professional, and therefore the rest are fair game.

which as you say, erodes everyone’s rights. But that’s not particularly important to me. the rights of all are worth protecting even if that weren’t true.

Uhg. FTA:

“She is visible white and 👱 blond, a medical worker, speaks with no accent. This should be a warning sign for MAGAt as they could be preyed by ICE at any time!”

None of that is a reason to believe she’s not an undocumented immigrant. And being brown, curly-haired, not-a-medical-worker is not any reason to believe they’re an undocumented immigrant.

Is this objectionable behavior by ICE? absolutely. But not because of who the victim is. but because there IS a victim. everyone in this country is protected by the constitution, and afforded the rights of due process- which ICE is flagrantly violating the shit out of.

Can we please stop with the special classes of people like this?

and when it’s not still him- he’s involved.

Quark and Odo were the other bromance of the 24th century.

Though they may have been more like Grumpy Old Men.

Catnip?

Garak and Beshir were pretty much the bromance of the 24th century

It’s winter, the air is dry.

Next headline: “IRS Agents receive scrutiny for buying an excess of facial tissues.”

if I want to torture myself and, hum, make a custom multicolor filament, yeah.

I prefer to respect myself, so I have a sign saying “Don’t” on the box of junk with the splicer and similarly bad ideas.

I mean, the Defiant had internal nacelles. other (alien) ships had internal nacelles. or even just “Warp field maintenance coils” that would allow them to sustain warp until they got far enough away or someplace habitable. But I doubt very much the Saucer would be able to reach someplace safe just carried by “inertia”. particularly because the warp drive doesn’t seem to actually be the ship moving. (once the warp field collapses, the ship is dead in the water.)

Yes. Its okay. They can just turn them into instant hostages by separating the saucer section.

That’ll be fine. Nothing could possibly go wrong.

I don’t get why the admiral made such a weird face over it. Surely Admirals had to do PR stuff too; and ‘Captains Day’ was probably a common thing on any ship with children on board (and probably had to interact with families even when they weren’t allowed on board.)

Seriously, that admiral was probably one of the losers that ordered using children as a shield in the first place. I mean, er, allowing families, to uh, be together. on a totally-not-actually-a-warship-that-totally-doesn’t-nearly-get-destroyed-every-other-mission ship of exploration.

While also generally respecting the lore. As a die hard fan, I loved it. It had a unique perspective, amazing writing. Amazing actors. It fit into the broader universe while doing its own thing. Did it have Jedi? No. Did it need Jedi? Also no.

Compare that to discovery. None of that were minor changes, the show makes more sense if you assume everyone is tripping balls of Magic’s space shrooms.

It literallly felt like the only reason it was Trek was marketing and the writers just wanted to tell their own story. (Which would have been fine. I’d probably be more forgiving if it wasn’t trek.)
