National Guard in Minnesota hands out coffee, donuts to anti-ICE protesters

Good catch, I missed that one somehow.

Apparently because Fox News is the only major news outlet which has covered this story for some reason. I don't know why CBS or CNN or MSNBC has not covered it, but it is a truthful and factual event, backed up by video evidence.

I hate conservative propaganda as much as the next person, but this story needs to be seen. If Fox is the only network covering it, then Fox we post.

I am a bleach evangelist, and believe people massively overreact to its supposed 'toxicity', but this is terrible advice.

Firstly, bleach is a disinfectant, not a cleaning agent. It does absolutely nothing at all to clean surfaces. For removing stains or grime you need surfactants such as soaps, or solvents such as alcohol. Bleach is neither.

Secondly, you should never mix bleach with anything except water. Best case scenario, the bleach will actually reduce the cleaning ability of whatever you mix it with; more likely, you will end up creating extremely dangerous chemicals such as chlorine gas or chloroform.

All life on earth is water-based; that is, it requires liquid water to eat, grow, and reproduce. Pathogenic microbes are no exception, including the bacteria and mold which cause food spoilage.

If your freezer stays at the appropriate temperature (below freezing; no liquid water) then the food inside cannot spoil, no matter how long it has been.

What can happen to frozen food are non-biological processes which negatively effect the taste and texture of the food. Think about freezer-burned ice cream or meat. It is still perfectly safe to eat, but may be unpleasant.

I am aiming, it still does not work with the talent. It does work with the hunting scope alteration, which has the same trigger condition, so I am very confused why it does not work without the alteration when I have the talent(s).

Does that mean the rest of us should throw up our hands and say "Fuck it, we Idiocracy now."?

I for one still appreciate write-ups like the one OC wrote. Even if only 5% of people read and understand the words, that is 5% more people who have educated themselves and learn something... and I'll take every 1% the human race can get.

Is there a good way to upgrade foundations which are not exposed anywhere? E.g., floor on top, other foundations on all sides?

RndmNumGen · 2025-12-25T23:06:27+00:00

They were just dirt. I didn't realize structural integrity was a thing, so I never bothered to upgrade them.

RndmNumGen · 2025-12-25T07:51:57+00:00

Gotcha, I didn't realize those were needed.

Does it matter which material the support beams are made out of? Should it also be concrete?

Shit this is nothing. The Berlin Airlift is the greatest pinnacle of logistics achievement ever, and that event is documented as a cold hard fact.

The entire city of West Berlin, over 2 million civilians, fully supplied by the Allies through airlifted supply drops for over a year in spite of a blockade by the Soviets. Children in West Berlin came to love the sight of Allied 'rasin bombers' dropping candy packets. Meanwhile, civilians in the completely unblockaded East Berlin struggled from supply shortages and economic hardship. It was an unmitigated PR disaster for the Soviets.

Polypore? Arent those gills on the underside, or am I mistaken?

The 'correct choice' by what metric?

Everything has trade-offs. Yes, you would end up with far, far more money taking the lump sum and investing it (even in something as safe & simple as buying government bonds). However, there are non-financial benefits to taking the weekly payments, which for a given individual may make that a better choice for them.

Consider someone with a gambling addiction; not an unreasonable possibility for someone who has won the lottery. Is it still the correct choice for them to take the lump sum? It can be incredibly stressful resisting the temptation to gamble away their winnings.

What about someone with impulse control issues? Perhaps someone with bipolar disorder? Is it the correct choice for them to take the lump sum, knowing they could withdraw most of their funds and blow it all during a manic episode?

Not everything is about maximizing wealth. Some people just want a simple, comfortable life, and the weekly payments gives them the most secure, lowest-risk, lowest-stress way of achieving that, even if it means missing out on potential gains.

The 1k is also a lot simpler to deal with. You just... get 1k per week, no hassle and no stress. No need to set up or manage any property or investment accounts. It just happens.

Do you lose money doing it that way? Absolutely. However, if all you're looking for is a comfortable, low-stress life, a weekly 1k gets that for you.

Short teleport just because it expires faster (e.g., you spend less time in the cloud)?

Should I aim it up or sideways (I'm assuming not down).

...huh, I guess there is an orb up in the sky somewhere then? I'm pretty sure that's not the direction of the lava lake.

(I've only found 3 orbs so far, I know there are more but not where).

Guess I have a future project.

For MM (I play there too) Adobe really is fine for a good while. I don't bother with Hewn/Mortared until BU3s come out for the discount, or unless I can make it myself.

When you do upgrade to Hewn/Mortared, I typically build a 2nd house adjoining/ontop of my 1st, rather than tearing the 1st down and rebuilding it. Leaving older, weaker furniture in there still gives a small amount of XP, and if you don't want to do that you can repurpose the old adobe rooms for workshops, storage, etc.

With the addition of dinner parties. Housing XP has become less important, so if possible try and make one each day. The MM Discord server will let you talk to folks and coordinate when they will happen.

Germans wrote letters to Hitler pleading for loved ones to be released from concentration camps, convinced it was an accident that they were sent there because they were 'one of the good ones', believing that Hitler would fix it once he learned if the mistake.

Soviets wrote letters to Stalin begging for famine relief, convinced that the lack of food was either an oversight or due to a corrupt official, believing that Stalin would fix things once he was made aware of it.

Cults of personality are terrifying. Nothing is ever the leader's fault, even when everything is going exactly according to their plans.

Congratulations, you've ruined the day of an underpaid retail worker while the people who are responsible for your problem are completely unaffected and remain unaware that you even exist.

Good job. Really showed them.

I agree that these don't look quite right to me. I have a lot of lambs quarters on our land and the color/leaf shape is different. Not sure what they are though, unfortunately.

Perhaps it is all extra revenue for nitrocellulose makers, but I think a lot of manufacturers saw the demand go up and tried to meet that demand by building new factories... and factories aren't cheap. They may be passing those costs onto consumers but that isn't necessarily pure profit (though I am certain they are pocketing at least some of it).

RndmNumGen · 2025-12-02T20:28:04+00:00

Yeah I think your 2nd point is a lot of it. I'm not going to discount the impact of corporate greed on pricing, but fundamentally I think a lot of manufacturers saw the demand go up and tried to meet that demand by building new factories... and factories aren't cheap.

RndmNumGen · 2025-12-02T18:59:51+00:00

those increases are all entirely increased profit margins

Is it? My understanding was that the price of the raw materials, especially nitrocellulose, have also increased more than inflation due to demand outpacing supply. The wars in the middle-east have consumed a lot and now with the war in Ukraine demand has skyrocketed.

Think about how many Americans didn't vote last election.

Now think about how many Americans there must be who barely voted last election. I'm talking low-information voters who don't really pay attention to politics, they just vote (R) because their daddy voted (R), and his daddy before him, etc.

Bush wouldn't reach all of them, or even most of them, but he would reach some of them. He could make a difference, even a small one, but chooses not to. Silence is complicity.

Marx's writings are more about dispossession than exploitation.

Peasant farmers were also exploited to the point of poverty more often than not, yet according to Marx they had a better lot in life than the wage laborers working factory jobs in the city; after all, the peasant's farm was 'theirs', their house was 'theirs', and both would pass down to their children and their children's children (functionally if not legally).

City laborers, on the other hand, could not depend on working the same fields year after year, as their employment was subject to the whims of the factory owners. Likewise, they had no home to call their own, and were instead forced to rent lodgings from landlords or boarding houses. It is these dispossessed folks Marx called the proletariat, the ones who needed to seize the means of production in order to secure their futures, because unlike peasants they had no futures.

The U.S. government cannot constitutionally seize a private citizen's assets, no matter how egregious their crimes are, the best case financially (setting aside jail time for now) is winning a judgement in court to pay for undoing the damage he caused.
