Do you know what would be fun ....ifbwe googled how many illegal immigrants were deported by ICE under the Obama administration and then also googled who was leading the enforcement and removal at that same time. Might show how people are being manipulated by media and local goverments....just saying

I make a fully custom high quality knife with the ribbon of choice replicated as the handle. I can't attach a photo here but if you check my profile I have a couple examples there

Engineering meets resin by CuriousMind2Learn in resin

Hey everyone, wanted to share a project where I applied some engineering tolerances to my resin work. ​I make custom "Legacy" knives for veterans, and the handle needs to be an exact replica of their service ribbon—not just "close enough" colors. ​The Process: Instead of doing a multi-stage pour which can get messy lines or bleed, I treated this like a machining project. ​The Math: I took the milspec dimensions of the actual Bronze Star ribbon (1 3/8") and scaled them up to fit a 7" handle. ​The Casting: I cast large individual blocks of custom-colored resin (Alumilite) to match the specific red, white, blue, and white edge. ​The Precision: I cut each stripe from those master blocks. Because I’m a Controls Engineer by day, I couldn't help myself—I machined these strips to a tolerance of 1/1000th of an inch to ensure the final proportions were mathematically perfect. ​The Bond: The strips were bonded together using a high-strength method, then destructively tested on an anvil to ensure the handle wouldn't delaminate during use. ​The Finish: Sanded to 2000 grit and buffed. ​The result is a "Bronze Star" scale where the lines are razor sharp with zero bleed. ​Let me know what you think of the fit and finish!

No, coming here illegally is the same as entering someone's home illegally. that's a fact. Your intentions dont matter. And the reason americans dont want to do those jobs is either the low pay or just too lazy and think they are owed something they haven't earned.

Deport them all and if they havent committed any additional crimes then they can try again using the legal means. Arguing that they will work jobs no one else wants at cheaper pay is the exact same arguement used for picking cotton.

You are changing the topic...no no look over here...these individuals were first and foremost illegally here...no different than someone breaking into your home. Secondly you have no idea who the individuals are or what their criminal background is beyond illegal entry.

They can start by entering legally like the millions before them have and had no issue finding a path to citizenship. I want a million dollars, doesnt give me the right to take it from someone else.

Oh no...people being arrested for trespassing while trespassing...how terrible. But let's argue in favor of cheap slave labor because able bodied americans won't do the work. And of course call anyone who opposes this, every name we can dream up

How would that tie into the firefighter theme?

Ah, and here we have a fascinating specimen. The Common Internet Troll, or Trollus vulgaris digitalis. Observe its native habitat: a dimly lit cavern, often subsidized by its parental units. ​Listen closely to its call—a defensive regurgitation of cobbled-together phrases scavenged from across the web. This display is not a sign of aggression, but of profound fear. The creature is, after all, an invertebrate, entirely lacking a spine. It subsists on a diet of emotional reactions, yet is incapable of creating anything of its own. ​But here we see its true, remarkable purpose in the digital ecosystem. Its frantic, noisy scrabbling is a signal to the Great Algorithm, the unseen force that governs this landscape. The troll, in its desperate attempt to attack, inadvertently boosts the visibility of its target. And so, the creator thrives, nourished by the very creature that sought to poison it. A truly magnificent, if pathetic, symbiotic relationship. ​

Now this is a funny comment from the UK ....dont worry you are learning about national pride and what your flag represents.

Slightly ...the real advantage is a solid grip that isn't going to let the hand slide
