There is a rule for gas stations that prices can only be changed once a day. Sounds like that would be a good start.

Sports bra season, closely followed by yoga pants season.

I used a convection toaster oven in the kitchen.

That fried the circuits of 1/3 of the house. Some amateur electrician tied in several new circuits into the same kitchen breaker. They used undergauged wire on top of it.

Cost us $6k to fix and that was a hell of a deal from some Covid - unemployed union electricians. They put in 3 breakers where there was one before. The electrician had a hell of a time tracking where all the lines came from. That included a 3ft fireball shooter ng out of the wall because a line was love when it shouldn’t have been.

Yes. When they are cops or being hassled by cops. Next question

Judging by the knots my best guess would be pine. Hard to tell without seeing it in person

I just checked and he was a Jedi but eventually fell to the dark side and took over a planet.

There was even a Hutt Jedi

Religious views of trans people in Iran are particularly interesting. Though it is an Islamic theocracy where being gay is explicitly against the law, being trans is narrowly accepted. Gender reassignment surgery is legal and formal gender recognition after the procedure is supported by the theocracy. The fact that being gay is potentially punishable by death can lead to people choosing gender reassignment rather than execution. The government’s strict belief that there are no sexual minorities in the country leads to an oddly absolute acceptance of the gender of trans people.

The program provides funding for states to build charging stations. As of the beginning of the year, half of states hadn’t even begun to take bids from contractors. Not like Biden can control that.

100% agree with you then.

Y’all need to hear the fable of the boy who cried wolf.

I don’t disagree that silencing protest is bad. It’s just not fascism. Fascists kill dissenters.

Treating protestors like this is the norm (though it always must be fought). It’s how they were treated during Occupy Wall Street. It’s how they were treated during Vietnam and the civil rights fight. Authoritarianism can come from both the left and the right. Fascism is always from the right.

I usually go by Umberto Eco’s Ur-Fascism essay for a definition.

Suppression of protest would fall under #4 “Disagreement is Treason”. Under fascism it is not enough to silence opposition. They must be treated as enemies of the state and be eradicated.

I’m certainly not defending the silencing of protest. It’s just that all fascism is authoritarian, but not all authoritarianism is fascist. Fascism has a specific definition and it’s a whole other degree of bad.

This isn’t fascism. These people will get a slap on the wrist and be sent home in a day or two. Under fascism these people would never be heard from again.

I can second the Elegoo Neptune 3. It’s what I started on. You can get printing with basically no experience.

Maybe it’s time to bite the bullet and take the time to set one up.

They definitely do. It’s a power thing for them though. They enjoy acting superior.

African black beetle would be my guess.
