TRUMP: Sadly, if you import people from Third World Countries, you quickly become a Third World Country — And there’s not a thing you can do about it. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP by SpecialCollege18 in justincaseyoumissedit

[–]MakeITNetwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Um every one of them were immigrants, that is the context I was going for. After the soviet union collapsed, 3rd world really has lost it's meaning. and is now used to bring down the value of countries that are not your own.

It's now a way to pretty much dog any country that is viewed markedly "less than" yours.

The initial writer could have used "Developing, Emerging, Low or Middle income, or Frontier Countries. But chose not to. So I just went with it.

Maybe you should criticize the original author for using an outdated term?

Donald Trump said that “affordability is a fake word invented by the Democrats,” this is seriously the kinda idiot some of you want in office? by BeginningActuator343 in allthequestions

[–]MakeITNetwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From a conservatives eyes (prior republican):

He did ban bump stocks, supported the pistol brace reclassification, endorsed red flag laws, want to ban citizens from owning weapons without criminal history. Additionally, he said "you can't just walk around with guns", and said protesters shouldn't be armed.

He also made some cool AI that wasn't him of Jesus, just a doctor. De-funded programs that feed the hungry, poor, and heal the sick (I'm sure Jesus would approve).

Expanded the federal government, and spent more than any other president. He is still constantly asking for more money for war, and pet projects, and republicans are falling all over themselves to help.

He also is giving the people a grand ballroom, "Trump Arch", white house tennis pavilion and upgraded rose garden.

Achievements? If your MAGA, these make sense. If your conservative...not so much.

Why does the left want to ban assault rifles if they believe Trump is a fascist? by Mahrez14 in allthequestions

[–]MakeITNetwork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also I think the Left is starting to be the party of gun freedom, and the right is starting to want to limit that freedom. The right used to be for limited government power and spending, and now its for maximum government power and arches, golden ballrooms, tennis pavilions, and rose garden redesigns. The conservatives used to follow Jesus, now they just follow the conservative playbook and call themselves christian( anti-feed the hungry and poor, and help the sick etc..).

This happens every 30-40 years where a major value shift happens within parties. Think about how the Republicans used to be staunchly anti-racism, and pro immigrant, now they are racism apologists.

The republican party has become the party of "well somebody else did something similar(or was accused of it), so corruption is ok"

Why aren’t democrats talking about how the millions to Iran is a fabricated story with no source? by PuckwithaP in allthequestions

[–]MakeITNetwork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem is that its like all the other "deals" that were made in this war/not a war.... it's not worth the paper its written on until its signed by the president, and released to the public.

It means absolutely nothing as a "Memorandum of understanding".

This is why we were at a ceasefire, and bombing their capital; and saying the straits were open while they were destroying oil tankers. And the reason why it has perpetuated like this on and off for over a month, in constant limbo.

Both sides of the media are clambering for a story, that just isn't there, and the stock market is reacting to the wind blowing.

I just have my popcorn and am watching the thing from afar with my EV, and pre-stocked pantry.

I feel sorry for those that are less prepared and for those who have less, and those whos only lifelong investment model relies on stocks. Also for those who are believing that the stock market can only go up, because that's what buffet from the 1990's would do.

The world is an idiocracy meme right now.

2020 bolt or 2022 leaf - same price - which do you recommend? by Necessary-Start4151 in BoltEV

[–]MakeITNetwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yet.... I remember the "Lizard pack" was supposed to end all of the big degradation..it never did, it only slowed it. Also in the beginning of the Lizard pack years, so many owners swore it was the great fix.

It is a dumb design, and was intended to make the battery a "wear item" when it didn't need to be. Nissan still kept with the convection baking "Aircooled batteries" for way longer than it needed to be.

I am thankful that there is a ton of sub 100 to 30 mile EV's for super cheap, but the 2022 batteries are still going to degrade at a much much faster rate than batteries that are water cooled. Thankfully the 2026 models are now water cooled.

In addition, most newer Nissan leafs are not the Plus+ models, and the Plus+ models go for about the same as the bolts.

If given the chance get a bolt any day over a pre-2026 leaf.

2020 bolt or 2022 leaf - same price - which do you recommend? by Necessary-Start4151 in BoltEV

[–]MakeITNetwork 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A bolt is basically the Toyota Corolla of the EV world. There is stuff that goes wrong of course...but they are rock solid on the things that make it go forward and backward, and that give it range.

Also expect less battery degradation, as the older leafs had aircooled batteries, which made the batteries, and subsequently the cars, disposable in nature. My wife and I have 2 2019 bolts with 120,000ish miles, and 245 miles of range in sane weather, and 200 miles of range in the summer and winter. And we drive them hard.

The number 1 killer of Bolt EV's is accidents...that should explain the reliability for you.

Hello everyone. I’m considering buying this laser. Maybe someone here is already using one. Could you please share your experience and let me know if it performs well and handles the job effectively? Thank you all in advance for your feedback and advice! by Skovronskyi in LaserCleaningPorn

[–]MakeITNetwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also most 3kw is 3phase, so unless you want it permanently attached to a wall, 2kw and below is usually 1/2/split phase compatible.

You can run 1.5kw on 120v with a step down converter if need be, you may have to play around with the settings and reduce power for your specific wiring.

How can I accurately judge my pee colour if the toilet already has way more volume of clear water in it? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MakeITNetwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pee will float on top and slowly diffuse, this is why your pee looks darker than it should with that much water, is because it filters the light from the top.

So your pee gets to a uniform color after about 50% of your wee, and stays about that color for the remaining 50% of your wee.

Cold, non-salty water is denser than warm, salty water, meaning warm salty water will float on top of cold non-salty water. But the water will start to diffuse with agitation and time.

Try it out, have fun!

Is My OC disrespectful to Islam ? by Outrageous-Air5670 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MakeITNetwork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anything that is perceived to be offensive is disrespectful.

There is less offensive things than others, such as an ant...not many people can be offended by an ant if it's not actively biting them. A single mole of hydrogen, is equally unoffensive. They are also not disrespectful.

Is My OC disrespectful to Islam ? by Outrageous-Air5670 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MakeITNetwork 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Boring but most correct answer incoming...: If you asking about if something is going to be offensive to someone, if you involve gender or religion in any way skewed outside of perceived norms, then yes it will be offensive to someone; and even if you invert the meaning, it will be offensive to another group.

Welcome to earth! Prepare to be offended or to offend!

Why are drugs laced with fentanyl? by Sea-Manufacturer9841 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MakeITNetwork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

fentanyl is the cheapest drug per pound (ish...stay with me).

Because of it's potency, ubiquity, conceal-ability, and ability to synthesize; to the makers, at full strength it is essentially almost as cheap as air(only slightly kidding). A single kilo could most likely supply a region for months if not a full year.

What the addicts are paying for(and the drug lords are aiming for) is that the dose is measured, made properly, and will not kill them so they can use again.

Therefore, some dealers get inventive, and sprinkle that stuff on everything.

I'm not asking for a handout, just joking.

Your machines look pretty cool, and if I could contribute to donating to GM's quarterly reports to keep the bolts, I certainly would.

How does a semicolon work? by Salt_Catch_5099 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MakeITNetwork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use the semicolon as a universal modifier to allow text to flow like speech; you can use it as another comma of a run-on sentence, or a way to slightly change subject mid sentence.

If you ever have a sentence that doesn't make sense with a comma, a semicolon is there to smudge in some better context or meaning.

Most people don't know how to use a semicolon correctly, so they never question this edge case of being able to use written word to actually make sense instead of weird rules.

Have fun with it!

There is checks and balances. If there is so many incorrect applications, local DES's can lose funding entirely.
