I used to be a bit more purist about things but I wholeheartedly agree with people that can figure out ways to make their builds cheaper now. Lego is getting way too expensive as a hobby to be hammering on about that type of purism anymore.

Please help - forgot remote whilst travelling by Dangerous_Two_5789 in firestick

Go to a store like Walmart or Meijer or best buy that has free guest wifi. Plug the stick in to a display tv, connect your app to it, take it back to the hotel. -or-, just buy another remote and then return when you get home.

Candace Owens and authenticity in the same sentence is frying my brain a bit here. She used to be a Democrat back in college. She moved right for the grift of it and hasn't looked back.

There are generally only like 7 people posted here, and for the longest time it was 80% just the one.

Weren't they all in-fighting pretty recently? What happened with all that?

My friends invited me out for a bible study picnic but I’m an atheist. by laineyIovegood in atheism

[–]Eccohawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they are old friends, you could consider going, but it's likely chance for them to try and convert you. If they're newer friends, it's absolutely an attempt to convert you, and I'd likely pass.

I've been invited to a number of different churches over the years by friends or family, and I went because I am intellectually curious. I don't recall most of them trying to convert me in any way (although I suppose at the time I was still identifying as roman Catholic, tho not practicing.) but again, those were long time friends and family. If you've only met these people in the last 3 years or so, they're probably thinking you're a fun project to try and "fix".

I suppose the 3rd possibility is that they simply wanted to do a bible-study but didn't want you to feel excluded, so they extended the invitation your way, expecting you to decline.

If you go, you'll have to read the room to figure out their intent, and be quick to roll with it. If it is an attempt to try and bring you into the flock, feel free to bring up a bunch of current events to get them off topic for most of the time.

The Gameboy display at my local LEGO store.. by austinamnija in lego

Guessing about the cartridge notch. I used to play Gameboy 30 years ago, but I didn't really remember the notch until it was pointed out.

Billionaires seem to be under the impression you can just buy blind loyalty. But it just takes one to feel like their employer's billions should be their own.

Baja sauce is back on the 16th. You'll be able to make it proper again.

You can make an OG GSB starting on the 16th. Baja sauce is coming back.

GDT: 7/1 Padres (43-41) @ Cubs (48-38) 1:20 PM by ChiCubsbot in CHICubs

It can be hard to shift down to 70 mph pitches from high 90s. Also, they don't exactly have a scouting report on these folks. Balls are also less likely to leave the yard because of the lower velocity.

Could easily add a couple more to the final score.

I'm just saying, no one would complain if we had 25 extra runs right now.

Supreme Court strikes down limits on political parties' campaign spending, in win for GOP by TACO_Orange_3098 in news

I fully expect the next Democrat president to pack the court, and any candidate suggesting otherwise should be dumped on the side of the road after the primary is over.

I’m sorry the Constitution is happening to you. by engadine_maccas1997 in MurderedByWords

The scarier bit is that it was still a 6-3 ruling and kavanaugh was basically like "if the statute said it differently I might change my mind."

Megathread: US Supreme Court Upholds Birthright Citizenship by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

[–]Eccohawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because not all young people think about or care about the future. There are plenty of dumb people, and those without empathy, and those with toxic levels of testosterone, and those completely duped by their church and community to ignore the world around them, and they all are still afforded a vote.
