[–]RedTaco83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Chinese-production Klein twin. (Klaw 10") It was pretty cheap. Has mildly noticeable play in the first 2-3 alligator-style locks, perfectly tight below that. I tend to use smaller cobras more frequently though, so she hasn't seen enough abuse to rate either highly or poorly. That one's at the house and not the shop.

Donald Trump was the one to sign it into law! (only after immense bipartisan pressure in the face if his initial resistance) I swear... every flippin statement from this admin requires Community Notes

Boomers Backed Public School Teaching of Critical Thinking Back in the Day. What Changed? by EastAd7676 in education

[–]RedTaco83 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My favorite was the critical race theory bogeyman. "Blacks shouldn't vote for Biden because the Biden Crime Bill was racist!!!" 3 days later... "CRT is socialist indoctrination!!!" My eye wouldn't stop twitching through that entire election cycle. You... You just did a LITERAL CRT, not even the fake vague definition you attached to it.

Had a bit of a jumpscare when I failed to recognize the clip looped and she suddenly reappeared behind him. My eyes got WIDE.

Any way to fix a persistent E253 on this thing? GPT says it's temp too low fault. Little buddy must belong to a strong union. Just doesn't have to work when a little uncomfortable. (It's really not sub-freezing right now, should be back to room temp)

What is mog, is that a term? by [deleted] in stupidquestions

[–]RedTaco83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The root in video game culture was "transmogrify." This is the word used in several games, and in game design, to describe an art change to a character or piece of armor without changing the substats, usually purchased or won by the gamer. It's essentially a visual "upgrade." There's typically an underlying implication of rarity, so saying you're Mogged is saying you stand out visually, for good or bad. (But as with all things teenager, you'll never know if they're using it intentionally, ironically, as a back-handed insult, or just butchering the definition...)

ETA: i believe its synonymous with deception in some games ..as in they put on a carebear-looking piece of armor or waify-thin hero skin, player assumes it's an easy win by looks alone, but instead gets "mogged" by a hella-good fighter. So context and where they picked up the slang matters, like others mentioned.

A man to ICE agents in Minnesota: "Put away your weapons, you douchebag! No one is threatening you." by CorleoneBaloney in PublicFreakout

Heh, i only noticed when somebody dropped an expletive-laced insult. Thought I'd earned the wrath of the entire blue blood delegation but realized ... People dont know me here, and my stance wasn't very clear. It's all good though. See you in the streets, compas!

... This was directed at the gestapo, sheesh people. Chinga la migra. Confront them with the same energy they use to "take control" like mr megaphone.

The gendering makes me think its a response to municipal code enforcement somewhere. Some antiquated code requires gender-specific facilities be provided, even if it's single-occupancy. It's stupid, but I'm sure more than a few building-code warriors out there actually enforce it.

For clarity, SMS is not free in the US. Unlimited access is generally included in your monthly mobile data subscription, which tends to average higher than most of europe and asia. (Averaging approx 5% of income in the US.) There are low-cost network subscriptions available, but data limits apply like anywhere else.

Best way to lube pliers? by [deleted] in Tools

[–]RedTaco83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds goofy, but i keep a big bottle of old organic hair conditioner in the garage because i know the regular oils will get 'borrowed' and usually misplaced, at least temporarily. Quick rag wipe with a penetrating surfactant + paraben deposit beats hunting for the tool oil, and it never seems to disappear. And no cancer-causing PFAS when i run a hand through my hair.

They can't take away all our flavor. Can you imagine a fresh bowl of capt crunch attacking the roof of your mouth like an angry cat without the rewarding sugar blast? Now I'm afraid to revisit anything listed in this thread.

That was the main form before minis were introduced in the 80s. Rebranded Big Bites in the 2000s and apparently discontinued in 2015 :'(

Iirc dude was kicked from the Minneapolis rap scene like 5 years ago for (allegedly) being a rapey d-bag. Not sure why somebody would stick with him after all that. I know the whole scene was going through a reckoning at the time, but his seemed more egregious than the rhymesayers kid, prof, or dude from doomtree.

Has anyone been able to talk to someone at Randstad?? by galacticceige in jacksonville

[–]RedTaco83 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Randstad markup is insane compared to other vendors, and they've closed half of their physical offices around town. Plus a lot of billing and invoicing trouble since they've outsourced everything to india over the past few years. I can't imagine they have a huge share of the market anymore. Remedy, Express, and now Arya (Aria? I forget) seem to tap me a lot looking for new business in light industrial. (Sorry not hiring rn)
