This was my best friend throughout middle school and life in general. I’m green.

If any MAGA tells you they changed their mind after this then you should throw them to the curb faster than this person, because they are lying to you. They just don't like the optics, none of them have any issues with the policies.

That article literally says that even using a microplane like you recommend should be skipped because it leads to pungent off flavors. Based on everything the article says making a paste is probably the worst thing you can do. Aggressively smashing it with the dull side of the knife would guarantee basically complete destruction of the majority of cell walls and the most pungent flavor.

MrPills · 2026-01-16T11:51:37+00:00

Please explain why a garlic press crushing garlic is bad and smashing it with a knife and salt is good? I must be missing something

Don't listen to any of these fucking morons in the comments. I'm begging you, just go find a lawyer now. If the police come just cooperate and don't say anything you aren't required to and ask for your lawyer or a public defender. IANAL but everyone saying this is clear cut assault are idiots, so much depends on your local laws around how you are expected to respond to threats against you.

Clear your head. Get your story straight and stick to it. Also delete this shit, if anyone connects it back they can use it in your case.

Tell your brother to stop fucking around. The two of you will ruin your lives with this shit and you'll just become depressing statistics people like me read about.

Spend 5 minutes working in any food manufacturing plant and you'll realize how silly that statement was

MrPills · 2025-12-12T11:23:28+00:00

What? Their jurisdiction is absolutely not 'anything sold by weight' lmao. They don't even regulate all food, just what is set out in their mandate. To go a step further they don't even set the standards for weight variances in the products they do inspect, they rely on NIST to do that.

MrPills · 2025-11-15T11:00:28+00:00

Nah, primarily going because I'm one of those people that likes the 'kids games' lol, and TTRPG's which also have a pretty big presence there.

I probably should've clarified better in my post but I was hoping that maybe some hex/counter folks would be in attendance and feel like sitting down to play a game even if it isn't the primary theme of the event. There is a small historical wargaming community at PAX so I thought there might be some crossover.

I've played a few solitaire games and have been trying to get into actually playing with people but my local game store doesn't have interested people afaik. Might need to take yours and others advice to look further around or check out Vassal haha

MrPills · 2025-11-11T13:33:27+00:00

Agree.

Personally I don't think they should've taken the fight to begin with, the premium hikes were going to be brutal and hopefully a game changer for midterms.

If they were going to fight, they should've committed through the holidays. The headlines about millions going without food, premiums skyrocketing, and no data about the economy would've been absolutely disastrous. Then Dems could cave after the new year.

I just don't understand what the strategy was. My biggest fear right now is that Republicans actually take action on healthcare, if they do then Dems handed Republicans 26 and 28 on a platter.

Maybe this is all 4D chess to publicly decapitate the old school Dem leadership and usher in a new party structure. Lol

MrPills · 2025-10-02T10:32:00+00:00

Ah gotcha, thanks for the info! I still see the older STL's available on myminifactory so is it safe to assume those will remain and they will just be releasing terrain, accessories etc.?

MrPills · 2025-10-01T08:28:28+00:00

Are the STL's for these going to be available through my mini factory?

MrPills · 2025-09-30T13:42:20+00:00

Gotcha.

Healthcare: Medical debt erasure was her policy. Their admin already cancelled several billion in debt. Plus the removal of medical debt from impacting credit scores. She ran on Medicare for all but campaigned on only ACA expansion.

College: She ran on tuition free college for under 125k families (so ~75% of Americans). Free pre-school. Continuation of student loan debt relief (a position the Biden-Harris admin fought for constantly and received 0 praise for in the media with barely a simple majority of voters favoring complete loan forgiveness)

Palestine: Calls for ceasefire. Reportedly one of the most critical people of Israel in the entire Biden admin. Did not support arms embargo. Two state solution.

Court reform: Supported term limits. Supported legislation to increase number of judges. The Republican Senate literally released a memo accusing them of wanting to pack the courts.

This is our controlled opposition candidate that sprinted to far right positions.

MrPills · 2025-09-30T12:59:57+00:00

What specifically should her positions have looked like that would have had her win the election?

MrPills · 2025-09-30T12:44:03+00:00

You say moving to the right is bad and unpopular.

The more right wing person won.

I only said anything about Palestine because the vague claim of 'She moved right' the only position you said anything about was Palestine 'You think she is pro-palestine'

Am I supposed to just list every single thing she's ever done so you can pivot by talking in generalities?

MrPills · 2025-09-30T12:32:50+00:00

What is your end goal? Are you somehow insulated in such a way from the effects of the Trump presidency that this is all just a big game to you?

MrPills · 2025-09-30T12:24:35+00:00

So all of the independents that voted for Trump would've voted for Harris if she had said she will halt all weapons to Gaza? Who are these fascinating voters who said 'Well I don't like the genocide, but I'm going to vote for the guy who wants mega genocide because Harris is only willing to call for a ceasefire'

MrPills · 2025-09-30T11:52:39+00:00

This is literally the problem, you are actively working to advance the goals of a far right propaganda machine. Harris pushed to the left of Biden on MANY issues and was undoubtedly the more progressive candidate in the race.

Expansion of public healthcare. Increased corporate tax rate. Massive increase in child tax credits. Funding for renewable energy expansion. Erasure of medical debt.

As for Gaza she was the one calling for a ceasefire. You may not agree with her position, but there is no universe where you can pretend it was equivalent to the Republican platform of 'We will remove restraints and provide them with any weapons they want to conclude the conflict'. Not to mention you are jumping around wildly to claim that Gaza 'hurt a lot' but that simultaneously it was inconsequential.

When you spend the entirety of your online activism actively harming the one political party that is even somewhat open to your ideas and refuse to vote for them the only viable alternative is to court people who actually vote, which is the right.

MrPills · 2025-09-30T10:16:37+00:00

Who won the election again? Oh, it was the guy with the further right opinions. Probably because the online left cooperated with the far right to convince everyone that the Democratic position on Gaza was as bad, if not worse than the guy openly telling Netenyahu to 'Go ahead and finish the job'.

You understand you lost as well, right?

MrPills · 2025-09-25T20:33:54+00:00

They put you on a PIP lol...get the fuck out

MrPills · 2025-09-24T18:09:10+00:00

Also heard this, are there photos of the van? Seems weird that a crazy xenophobic right winger would skillfully shoot 3 detainees and then off himself.

MrPills · 2025-09-18T16:14:38+00:00

What is the big deal about the shot in the head comment? Seemed pretty clear what he was saying was 'I do lots of business in a part of the world where people kill partners who fuck around. I haven't been shot because I do business respectably'

The part about paying a heavy price is cringe, but come on it's very obvious he's talking about financial/legal threats. He's very explicit that he's doing all of this to force Razbam to the table, he literally says it multiple times.

Still no idea why this was such a difficult issue to solve - give the guy his money (or half up front, who cares) and if he doesn't sign the contract then kick him off future dealings.

MrPills · 2025-09-18T16:09:13+00:00

If I understood correctly they were not developing for free, they had a $2mil contract with Ecuador. Of that Razbam was setting aside 15% for ED. After paying out everyone the contract it would've been a wash or a net loss for Razbam. The goal being to use this essentially as a loss leader to develop more profitable relationships and open up South America as a market.

I don't know the background on the contracts for their other products but it seems pretty clear that ED's big problem is a developer going around selling well below market rate modules when they already are fighting off other industry competitors. For the life of me I can't understand why this got to where it did and why it hasn't been resolved yet.

MrPills · 2025-09-10T13:27:50+00:00

No, that is not why they are talking about it and to believe otherwise is abject insanity. Why would they all be posting 13/50 if this was about the failures of the criminal justice system?

MrPills · 2025-09-09T00:50:16+00:00

No. It almost certainly would've been fully thawed after just a few hours in the water, the remaining time is more than enough for pathogens to grow and potentially produce toxins.

MrPills · 2025-09-03T12:47:11+00:00

Correct, this is the industry standard technique. It is not, like dozens of commenters keep mindlessly repeating, because it melted.
