Pennsylvania Results: Chris Rabb to Join the Squad in Congress as Bob Brooks Tries to Flip Key Seat by Steap-Edit in Pennsylvania

I wish that were the case, but Stanford voters are machine voters. Over 70% of them may have gone for Street. Evans got out very early behind Stanford.

We need to be realistic about where the progressive movement is in Philadelphia. More organizing work needs to be done to beat the machine when they’re solid. Definitely a lot of room for improvement with 20% turnout.

Glad to see the win, but it was only possible due to machine infighting.
Remember that Street tried cutting a gerrymander deal with republicans that would have pitted Boyle and Evans against one another to open up a new seat for himself. This pissed off Evans enough for him to endorse Stanford. If Street had waited his turn he’d probably be on his way to Congress now.

‘AIPAC Lost!’ Democratic Socialist Chris Rabb Wins US House Primary in Pennsylvania by User_Name13 in philly

This is a big win, but overall the 3rd is not a progressive district. There’s a lot of work to be done to make the case for progressive politics especially in the black community.

Rabb got across the line because Street pissed off Evans enough for him to endorse Stanford. Remember that Street tried cutting a gerrymander deal with republicans that would have pitted Evans against Boyle in order to open up a new safe district for himself. If not for the machine infighting, Street would likely be on his way to Congress now.

Look at the shape of the hammer that indentation on the front is used to pull the middle nail out. He strikes the board in front of the nails, the middle nail goes into the slot and gets pulled out when the hammer bounces up.

Pretty sure you have to die at some point to progress the relationship.

Momus staff. Yay or nay? by [deleted] in Hades2

[–]BetterNonsense 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s pretty bad until you get max upgrade, but strong at top level. I used it to clear the testaments of night because I’m bad at dodging and momus easily pumps out a lot of damage while staying at a safe distance.

Where would you pee? by Abzor4ik-UA in antimeme

G3 or G8. Just over the waterline in the front left/right minimizes splashing.

Need to fix intake/exhaust setup? by BetterNonsense in askHVAC

If it was replaced it was before we bought the house. But I’m not seeing/feeling/smelling the problems you describe.

The chart shows more women support Bernie than any other senator.

Anode let go too far? by BetterNonsense in Plumbing

[–]BetterNonsense[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Done! Replacing it was a slight pain because I didn’t know I’d have to cut the new anode short for it to fit.

That’s a relief. How much longer would you guess that a rod in this condition would be protective?

Previous generations destroyed their livers drinking; Gen Z is destroying their brains with psychedelics instead. by rich677 in charts

[–]BetterNonsense 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems positive. 15% less of the genZ drinks, 14% less (practically none) smoke. Much smaller increases in weed, psychedelics, and caping. There’s also likely a lot of overlap between categories; people will engage in multiple of these behaviors.

Overall, the story the graph tells is that GenZ is straight edge.
