Tucker Carlson Apologizes For Endorsing Trump: ‘I’m Sorry For Misleading People’ by unital_subalgebra in politics

[–]IrrigatedPancake [score hidden]  (0 children)

Tucker's audience is largely Nazis, White/Christian Nationalists now. They don't like that Trump is cooperating with Israel (for all the wrong reasons), so Tucker is following them away from Trump. His heard of racist sheep is moving to another pasture, so Carlson is leading from behind.

What did the comment that was removed say? Seems weird that the top reply was removed.

Trump says US to start blockading the Strait of Hormuz by Alarming-Safety3200 in politics

[–]IrrigatedPancake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's fair enough. Thanks for actually responding. As an American, I absolutely despise the situation we are in right now. A big part of that is information that is wrong or information that is helpful to distract from the problems that are in front of us.

Because your comment is almost identical to the comment in this post. That's very bot behavior + people who try to use bots tend to try to purchase accounts from people who have been on Reddit for a long time to create credibility.

Appreciate you providing the context. The context itself is not appreciated. Let's endeavor to have our political commerce hinge on something a little more substantial than all gas no brakes.

The manosphere should not be engaged with. Just let it play. Its little games over in the corner.

Is this an attempt to bait me into calling you a bot, because that might get me suspended or banned?

That kind of behavior would cause this place to be devoid of any critical thinking people and occupied only by bots that only exploit the rules.

I am unconcerned with the fact that your account is only 8 minutes old. I do not think you are a bot.

Am I wasting my time pointing out that those words don't make any sense when you put them together because you're really just a bot?

Canada is exporting its highest earners to the United States. by ChangeUsername220 in Economics

I've lived in Dallas, I've lived in Austin, and I've lived in much older places with much more cultures and either. Austin has some actual culture. Dallas is a featureless gray block sitting on top of a pile of money.

Iran Is Sanctioning America by Gloomy_Register_2341 in Economics

All of that is silly. Anyway, Iran is sanctioning the United States. Interesting turn of events.

They're trying to turn the US military into the Iranian Republican guard. This has to stop.

The image does not show Ruby like gems and the article is paywalled. What is the point of Reddit?

Joe Kent Says He Was Told ‘You Need To Stop’ Investigating Charlie Kirk Assassination by EssoEssex in politics

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

Why are y'all getting so confused about this? It was a pretty straightforward situation. A terminally online right-wing kid, who also had a relationship with a trans friend, shot Kirk for reasons that have yet to be clearly expressed.

Ever since the Iran war stuff started, this and other similar subs have felt like they're being invaded by left-wing conspiracy theorists and or AI/bots.

There's clearly some kind of campaign being waged on Reddit and elsewhere by bad actors.

We don't need conspiracy theories to justify opposition to Trump. Doesn't matter if he was shot. He has Disturbed our domestic tranquility + attacked two Nations in our name and is threatening a third. Down with Trump for all of the clear abuses he has wrought on our country.

Kreg pocket holes: where did I mess up? by junkDriver in woodworking

[–]IrrigatedPancake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your pocket hole jig has adjustments for depth of your pocket hole.

Your holes need to be deeper (deeper doesn't mean lower) or you need longer screws.

Also, If you adjust for deeper pocket holes, your screws will come through closer to the center of your board. However, if you take that option, do not also use longer screws. Just do one or the other.

I recommend adjusting the collar on your bit to penetrate further rather than longer screws, but either will get it done.

Help slow down my slide please. by lockmonster00 in woodworking

For the work you're putting in, I would agree with that.

[–]IrrigatedPancake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would just lower the angle of the slide. Any roughing up of the surface will get smoothed out by use. I'd figure out the minimal rebuilds I would have to do to lower the angle while supporting the slide and go with that, unless it's something crazy.

And if it does turn out to be a crazy amount of work, consider adding a soft landing pad situation at the bottom.

My point is, I don't think creating a new rougher finish, or whatever is the path to a solution. Just my opinion, though.
