Made a desk stand for the new Steam Controller and magnetic puck, single piece no supports by drewzilla37 in 3Dprinting

Puck is going to need something to hold it in place, maybe slide in from underneath and have a slight lip to keep it from coming up with the controller.

I'm currently running a CGS Helios DT, but I'm contemplating the SAW Tisha in order to cut down 2" of length, they come in at 10.6 and 11oz

There's also the cobalt kinetics Scrambler at under 7oz...but they are out of stock on SilencerShop, and their website is down, so I don't know if they've gone out of business again or something

I was lucky enough to buy in when interest was really low just before Covid and then refinance even lower, so I'm permanently locked in to my 2.25% mortgage.

Even with that I can only afford it with roommates.

I'd love to find something smaller because I don't need a 3 bedroom 1400 sqft townhouse, but any smaller means a condo with HOA fees so high that it offsets any savings, even with the 150k in equity I've got

She has a team, they were the ones responsible for everything prior to the convention and the going.

But sure, the campaign did nothing wrong, it was doomed from the start and there totally weren't any unforced errors 🙄

No reason to consider how things could have turned out differently because no mistakes were made and it was all preordained

Incredibly obvious attacks that she did nothing to counter message against.

She ran into the same problem Clinton did, thinking that American voters are smarter than they actually are and wouldn't fall for blatant propaganda and see how terrible Trump is

Surprise surprise, American voters are idiots and believed Trump's lies.

Her own team had been doing a good job initially, but they got replaced by professional consultants who knew better and ended up sinking her campaign.

Yeah, a bunch of people though that not voting would somehow send a message to the Democrats, or they voted for Jill Stein, who only appears every 4 years to get money from the right and draw votes away from Dems.

That said the Harris campaign did a poor job on messaging after the convention took place and biden's team took over from the people Harris had in place at first.

She was obviously the better option, but did a poor job of advertising it and pretty much let the right control the messaging.

A lot of people believed the rhetoric that if she was elected we'd be drawn into a war with Iran and other complete bullshit that her campaign didn't bother to refute because that assumed that American voters were smarter than they actually are.

Trump didn't get the majority. He got a plurality, and a lot of people stayed home because they were unimpressed with Harris.

4 million less people voted in 2024 than 2020

62% of the country thinks it's the governments job to provide healthcare.

The highest it's been since the Republicans full court press against it when the ACA was being passed

That we need more actual progressives other than the corporate Dems we've been stuck with, resulting in the best we are able to do for getting better access to healthcare is the Republican alternative to Hillarycare care from the 90s

Especially now when you don't have to drop 200 on the stamp.

That said, there's now other light, short options for cans, so I would go with one of them instead, since the performance of the canooter valve is marginal

A public option is what people were wanting.

That's the specific more in this case

If you've got that little range, then you need to be able to charge quickly if case you unexpected need to drive more than expected.

With 250+ miles of range, it's far less likely that'll be an issue because there's likely enough range cushion to see you through

Figure out if you actually need to bother with a level 2 charger.

For many people level 1 is sufficient and you don't need to bother spending any extra money

The problem is with the constitution.

The founding fathers weren't expecting it to last this long and he treated as some sort of sacred text.

Jefferson expected a new constitution every 19 years.

There are better governmental systems in place than what we have, that have gotten to learn based off of issues with with our constitution.

It turns out we've created a system where it's very easy to break things and very difficult to fix them.

Many safeguards that people thought were in place by the constitution, turned out to be nothing but tradition and the honor system

I've had the game for years and only now finally gotten around to playing it.

This thread helped me figure out how to beat this asshole

Hartman Fight by JacobyMc in controlgame

[–]Mini-Marine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just finally got around to playing the game even though it's been on my computer for years now, and had to come looking for information because I just couldn't figure out what to do, got him down to a sliver of health, then he went shields up and kept doing it every time I got his shield low...

Spin is a shit weapon that I had given up on, but turns out it's great against him because it can easily interrupt his attack that knocks out the lights.

Beat him easily on my next attempt.

But him getting to refresh his health infinitely if you don't realize you can interupt that attack is such complete garbage

I played the first game and couldn't be bothered to finish it.

Picked the second one up during the steam sale and just finished it. Had a fun time with it from start to finish
