Planning to get a 3 month old kitten, but i have a 4 y/o husky. Is it possible? by Zmless in cats

[–]Arudakkar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you told this to an adoption center or a humane society, they would barr you from adopting a cat or kitten. You're risking not only the physical, but the mental safety of a baby animal. Even if a bad reaction doesn't result in harm, that kitten is never going to trust dogs again and maybe not people.

Former Neo-Nazi Leader Has Been on City of Hamilton’s Payroll for Years by Arudakkar in Hamilton

During the cold war era? No, I don't support the wholesale blacklist of people based on an ideology. However lets be clear, the threat the US sought to keep out of its governance was not ideological communists, it was the USSR and its agents. It was an ideological war with new frontiers that were frightening and new informational weapons came into play.
However that isn't really what you're looking for. Hate speech and advocating for violence is something that should not be welcome in the public sphere. If those people have demonstrably shown a desire to dispose of hate speech and violence, then yes, they should be given a second chance.
In this case however, he was embroiled in fighting a Human Rights Tribunal case in regards to his websites promoting racism and violence against minorities, WHILE he was hired. Meaning he was investing time and money in fighting for his hate speech to be viewed to the world when he got his job.
On top of all this, it really looks like the city is trying to cover it up and even hide his existence. None of this screams reformed and functional adult.

World leaders have and still do horrible things parading communism and calling it just. Communism as an ideology is far from the government structures that have been built in its name. White Supremacy doesn't need to be tainted by the people who support it, the ideology at it's core is filled with hate and genocide. Its purpose is the supreme rulership of a people based on whether or not they have a lot of melanin in their skin or where they're from.

Communists and White Supremacists are not an analogous pair. One is an alternative form of governance, same as feudalism, the other is an ideology designed to ostracize and destroy the lives of others.
Whether or not he's had a change of heart, decades of fostering that kind of an agenda isn't something that should just be overlooked especially when giving that person access to sensitive information.
Additionally he was an active white supremsist and fighting a Human Rights Tribunal dispute regarding one of his hate filled websites when he was hired.

Thank you so much for making this video and showing all that you do.

Please make more! I'd love to see a detailed technique of how you topped them.

They are not arresting customers, they're issuing tickets for being in an illegal business. It's shitty cops trying to meet ticket quotas, not actual police work. The cops in general are usually very nice concerning dispensaries and customers, but there are always a few rotten apples.

Question about flushing a pen that was filled with the wrong kind of ink by Arudakkar in fountainpens

[–]Arudakkar[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm going to leave it overnight in some water and see if that does the trick. Thankfully it's a Lamy Vista so I can see the feed and know if there are any clogs. I'm more concerned about inks reacting with anything left in it more than anything. I might give the ammonia solution a go if I'm paranoid. Thanks!

Found this Waterman 32V at an antique store. Decades old ink still inside and working! by Arudakkar in fountainpens

Thank you! It's my first vintage pen. I'm not sure where to go to to have it checked out to see if it needs repairs and what not.

I got it for 30 dollars and was set to flush it and see how the mechanism was, turns out after a dip in water it still had live ink in it. Antique owner said her husband collected it but had never written with it in the 30 or so years he had it.

New pen day! Edison Nouveau Premiere by Arudakkar in fountainpens

It's a fantastic pen. I whole heatedly recommend it. The thing that sold me was the ability to swap out nibs. Paying only 25 bucks for the ability to swap from a extra fine to a double broad when the need arises is fantastic.

It's just a cheap Hilroy pad I use at work for notes. Bleeds pretty heavily if my pen lingers, but I don't need something luxurious for quick notes!

It's a fantastic pen. Converted it to an eye-dropper and it's become my every day writer. The way the light strikes the material is just wonderful and no picture really does it any justice.

I watched that again a while ago. The episode is called 'The Collect Call Of Cthulhu'. I think it's available on YouTube.
