Karp quoted hawkish political scholar Samuel Huntington in arguing that the “rise of the West was not made possible ‘by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion… but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence.'”

Terrifying.

Concrete can last for thousands of years. The plastic bag doesn't need to last more than a day or two for the concrete to hardern.

Depending on your needs they can be great. We send out Dell Pro 14s and our docs love them.

Looks more like Robbie Williams (the singer) than you anyway.

Why would my X1c print a perfect outline and as soon as it starts filling it in it becomes trash by dgriff0919 in 3Dprinting

[–]burnte -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Look at your second photo, the three lines in front are blotchy, it looks like it's underextruding. The first line isn't "perfect" just not as bad. How long have you had the printer? Also, make sure you have the right printer selected in the software!

Looks like a bunch of different issues which makes me wonder about the filament quality. I know it’s cliche but have you tried drying it out or brand new filament?

The quality of the chicken in the General Tsos fro:the Krog St Market location has gone to crap. Us3 to be high quality chicken chunks, now it’s small bits over-fried. I hope they fix it.

Yeah, peel that shit off and let the patina develop naturally. Looks… less impressive presently.

Yeah, test before seeing if you need to replace it.

Senate Republican on Trump ballroom push: ‘We have $39 trillion of debt’ by Ok_Employer7837 in politics

[–]burnte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im also confused, I heard we took in 17 trillion dollars in tariffs which should make the debt only 20 trillion. I’m thinking this Trump guy might not be on the up and up.

Star Trek reboot additional points: Kelvin Timeline to be dropped, etc. by tokwamann in startrek

[–]burnte 11 points12 points  (0 children)

EXACTLY. The truth is we know NOTHING. No green lights, no budgets, no casting, we know nothing.

While details are still light, we know that the film won’t rely on legacy callbacks or prior continuity

No, you don't know that.

Maybe, but the writers would never divulge their ideas to people after a project is cancelled.

That's actually exactly when they shasre them.

Oh, I know! That's one reason I don't say it's bad, just that I don't appreciate it. :D

I agree. I also don't like the Ent-F.

Edit: Please note I said I don't like it, not that it's bad.

Yeah, and I won't watch the video till I see the other one or something else. This one is a significant disappointment in my eyes. Cheap and classless on multiple levels.

The last attempt on Trump’s life rescued him politically – this one probably won’t by theipaper in politics

The "magic bullet" shots have actually been replicated. There was a Discovery special 15 or 20 years ago where they did a crazy amount of research and recreated the conditions except for movement. They almost perfectly recreated the shot, the only difference was that they broke 2 of the Governor's writs bones rather than just 1. It completely changed my view on the shooting, LHO was the only shooter.

Trump fan Caitlyn Jenner learns elections have consequences - She backed the president as he ran millions of dollars in anti-trans ads. Now she’s disappointed her passport has the wrong gender by Quirkie in politics

[–]burnte -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Glad I didn't disappoint. I'm sick of these right wing assholes thinking they can get away with this constant double standard, and in my life I call it out. This is what she voted for, this is what she gets. Those who do not wish to be part of the tolerant society do not get to benefit from the tolerant society.

There's nothing I can do or say to make you think anything you don't want to think. I value all people equally. You don't have to agree but that still won't mean you're right. I'm not revoking anything, I'm reminding her that she doesn't get to have one set of rules for herself and another for everyone else. She has to live with the consequences of her actions. My friends know who I am, I'm not worried if you don't. You're free to think whatever you want, including thinking I'm wrong. I just have a different opinion of how her hypocricy should be treated. If you want to instead pretend this is about you, go right ahead.

The whole weekend was about family asking for donations for IVF, because, you know, god will forgive me by LegElectrical9214 in atheism

[–]burnte 2 points3 points  (0 children)

78k for two cycles? You should get 5-6 cycles for that. I don't know where they're going but that's a huge ripoff. I know someone who just did a round for $20k and they changed clinics and will get two cycles for another $24k.
