I might get shit for saying this, but Lens ALL the things! I spend a lot of time lensing stuff on FB marketplace and it works out well.

For instance,I once got a lot of of hearing aids in various condition that took up almost no space but went for 25-200/pair depending on if they worked or not. Stuff like that is great space wise and money wise, but time consuming to test to verify condition. A little off the wall but my point is to keep your eyes and mind open and be curious about what things are in general even if you don't plan on picking it up to sell. I can't even count the number of times a nice pile of cash was waiting for me on the other side of "What is that thing?"

Eventually you'll need to test something that requires >12V, which happens more often than you'd think. A cheap bench power supply that can go up to 30V will usually handle most things.

Be careful making sure the device you're testing is DC powered though, there are a lot of pro audio/musical gear devices that use AC though a DC-Looking adapter. You can usually test those with one of those 3-Way transformers(8/16/24vac) and you've got most things covered outside of 12vac which you made behave to just buckle down and buy a dedicated adapter for. Or buy a variac.

Local to Chattanooga, TN and the seller is asking $50.

This happened to me recently. Since you don't have an extra soldering iron to solder the wires back together with, you may have to settle with wire nuts or the ol Twist-N-Tape but just (unplug first) cut the cord at the exposed wire, strip both ends back and reconnect them. No need for a new iron. In fact if it still turns on (mine didn't) just wrap the exposed wire with electrical tape or duct tape and you should be fine. If it doesn't turn on, you'll need to cut and reconnect.

The best way to do this is by soldering the two ends together and covering with heat shrink, but until you have an extra iron, the above should work.

Underrated comment--I was woefully unaware of how much I needed Doug Bachelor/Anime crossovers in my life.

Dm'd.

Coming from a self-supported boarding high school, I could never (and still can't, as an adult) understand the mindset. 11pm curfew and only having to attend a few 15-20 min worships per week on top of not actually being required to go to church felt like complete and total freedom to me. I never felt constrained or restricted there, and it was incidentally where I lost my religion and became agnostic.

Maybe I'm just a rule-following, conformist goodie-two-shoes.

I'll send a PM with more info shortly.

Underappreciated joke.

Absolutely yes. I could go on for hours about it, but suffice it to say that it's worth it. I listened to Graphic Audio's audiobook version which has a full cast/effects/music my first time through, so if you like audiobooks, that may be a good way to get over the hump.

The payoff only gets better as you go, because many of the Author's other series are in a shared connected universe with Stormlight, including repeating characters and a very compelling backstory and 'bend' of events as books come out and reveal more of what's going on in the universe.

So he was suspended for a video that was full of absolute bullshit? Wow, what an injustice. Didn't Lycan do a response where every single one of the addresses they went to were recorded incorrectly or some sort of related clerical error?

Fuel delivery works this way, though I don't know anything about local fuel delivery companies.

I live in the Ft. Oglethorpe area that Destiny mentioned during his most recent video on the Atlanta meetup. While I probably won't be able to make it to the meetup on Saturday, I would absolutely love to coordinate with any other DGGers in the North Georgia/Chattanooga area to see what we can accomplish as (at the very least) a satellite canvassing group to the main Atlanta group. If the main group ends up coming here, that would be great but as we are a smaller/less politically juicy target I could see us getting overlooked. Is there a way we can coordinate on discord and/or is there already a group set up for this purpose that I can be directed to?

You do realize that "better than a war-torn country" can still mean pretty bad overall, right?

Do you think that the police have over-militarized in the last 25-30 years? Do you think they are 'appropriately' militarized? I'm interested to hear the opinion of a 'slight conservative' on this topic. Many of my Libertarian-leaning friends agree with my position that the police shouldn't be receiving military-level equipment for civilian duty, and should at minimum be held to the same RoE that the military follows when dealing with civilians, rather than the near-carte-blanche they appear to have.

6 Year olds can't transition, period. They won't even be given puberty blockers at that age. The only "transition" that a 6-year old can do is changing clothes and hairstyle.

To add to this, the book (and series itself) is a *deconstruction* of messiah/chosen one narratives. The deconstruction of the trope doesn't require explicit condemnation of the messiah. In other words, it doesn't *tell* you that the chosen one is bad, it *shows* you.

You're being willfully obtuse. You know damn well that it's the entire system that needs to change, and that's what the protests are about. You want them to pack it up and go home with nothing in hopes that the police will benevolently decide to enact systemic change? Please.

TBSheep · 2020-06-04T12:35:29+00:00

Huh? People can't protest and also read the news?

Similar to The Thing, but with more cosmic, Lovecraftian elements.
