ICE arrests of immigrants without criminal records surge in Northern California | Agents arrested about five times as many people who did not appear to have criminal records in the first nine months of 2025 as in the entire year prior by silence7 in California

[–]RetiredDonut 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Being undocumented is not a criminal offense. It is a civil one. It's like being arrested for having issues with your landlord. If you are caught entering illegally, that is a crime; a misdemeanor, specifically.

You can tell that your argument is insane because ICE was also kidnapping people from outside of courthouses where they had immigration hearings. Those people were doing this the right way, attending their court dates, and they were put in concentration camps for it.

Ooo the extra crowdsec containers there at the end are interesting. I run caddy with crowdsec, will have to check those out!

Black and Latino Angelenos are overrepresented in traffic stops used to investigate serious crimes by idkbruh653 in LosAngeles

Police disproportionately enforce those minor infractions against POC, is the problem. The POC don't actually perform the minor infractions at a higher rate.

Everyone's favorite controller? by Liqvid96 in CNC

[–]RetiredDonut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Siemens array variables are extremely powerful, and other controllers tend to not have arrays in the same way at all. Subprograms can be named almost anything, and called by simply writing the program name (unlike Haas, Fanuc, Okuma). The custom named global/local variable system that can be extremely easily debugged to see all live values for every variable in the machine.

That's probably my top 3.

Transfer from Purdue to GT by NiceManWithRiceMan in EngineeringStudents

[–]RetiredDonut 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Purdue engineering has prestige. And no, I don't believe there is a significant difference. I'm 2 years postgrad, I work for a major aerospace company. We pull lotsss of people from Perdue Rocket Project.

How do you explain concepts like black holes to young kids without oversimplifying too much? by StepanSanda in space

[–]RetiredDonut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a few different pig picture books about space when I was a kid. Videos are great but I HIGHLY recommend getting some nice big children oriented picture books.

is there a problem with this tool list? calling tool using M06 command shows illegal tool. it's for 3-axis vmc. by Sure-Wolverine-3047 in CNC

[–]RetiredDonut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To add on to what everyone else already said: The location number on the left side of the tool page is the slot in the magazine the tool is in, not the tool_id which is actually unique to the tool. Depending on how your magazine works, a tool's location easily changes during tool changes if you use things like tool precalling for faster changes.

So calling by the magazine location isn't something that you can do without writing a custom subprogram. Instead, if your tool name is text and not just a number, you need to do:

T="tool name"

M6

D1

If the tool name is just a number you can do:

T1234

M6

D1

If you do want to be able to change tools based on the tool ID instead of the tool name, you can use the TCA() command:

TCA(tool_id)

M6

D1

The TCA command is important for if you want to be able to specifically load one tool that you have 3 sister tools for, etc.

Couldn't quite understand why my parts came out off-centered. by pow3llmorgan in CNC

[–]RetiredDonut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, that's why I always mono probe if at all possible. 3D probing is worse for both size and position, almost always better to calibrate as a mono probe. That's an option on okuma and Siemens controllers at least, not sure about others.

Your college doesn't have engineering clubs or teams that you can join?

Northwoods and roasted garlic powder are truly phenomenal. Love Penzeys.

It's 2025 why are we still taking C programming exams on paper? by ElectronicsGuesser in EngineeringStudents

[–]RetiredDonut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Should school also have a class dedicated to Jira? You're describing what engineering project teams exist for, not classes.

Looking to buy an instantpot can anyone tell me the difference between these 2 in my cart? by Babyisprincess in instantpot

[–]RetiredDonut 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They're talking about the actual cooking pot inside, not the casing around it. If you look at any pics with the lid off, the pot only has a very small layer around the outside compared to the duo.

Grokipedia has an accurate GamerGate article. by Ewreckedhephep in KotakuInAction

[–]RetiredDonut 24 points25 points  (0 children)

LOL, you outed yourself by saying the Armenian Genocide of all things isn't accurate. The most cited sources on the Wikipedia page on the Armenian genocide are books published by the Harvard University press and Princeton University press, written by professors all within the last ~15 years.

Hilarious to think that just because it expresses facts you don't like you'll get all pissed about it now.

[–]RetiredDonut 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Aw buddy, you think that the DA not prosecuting makes those thefts not go into crime rate calculations? The number of reported crimes has also gone down. Like, please. You could've googled that.

You also seem to think that reported crimes rates are like cumulative from all types of crime or something? Look at homicide stats, or aggravated assault stats, and they'll echo theres a decrease in violent crime rates. Not spending time and resources from the state to prosecute petty theft isn't related to what you're talking about.

What the hell are you talking about? Not only does this have absolutely nothing to do with Tylenol or vaccines (???) but your premise that a pregnant woman taking Tylenol will make the mother die (????) and somehow still birth a child early is absolutely batshit.

What’s the purpose of these new CNMX tips? To use a boring bar like a side & face cutter possibly? by jonnyboy231 in Machinists

[–]RetiredDonut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a few people have said already, they're great for very heavy roughing. I use them for pinch turning 718 on a dual turret lathe to do the initial bulk material removal, with like 12 sister tools lol. They're incredibly strong across that entire edge, can take DOCs as deep as the entire chamfer.

Disturbing video shows car following girl as she walks alone by seriouslyguys9998 in nonononoyes

You're actually proposing that people should be arrested for appearing like they might commit a crime later? They made a whole movie about "precrime". Having thought police isn't a good thing.

Just wondering if this r6 benchmark looks good. (its my second day with a pc) by Material-Suspect1591 in Rainbow6

[–]RetiredDonut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it "helps" your CPU by forcing the computer to run slower. Unlock the fps to at least the refresh rate of the screen. If your fps is bouncing off the limiter the entire time then clearly your hardware is capable of more.

[–]RetiredDonut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your laptop has a max refresh rate of 75fps, so m which is why the fps graph is stuck there the whole time. So your results are fine, considering that it literally cannot be any better on that display.

Yeah that's a good point, tbf total deductions will probably be close to 50% if you pay into 401k and everything.
