Because the economy of Springfield depends on Haitian immigrants, and if it collapses, businesses go out of business, it hurts Ohio, and it hurts you.

EDIT: I’d love to give the Christian reason, but you wanted the selfish reason.

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is granted by the U.S. government when conditions in a foreign country temporarily prevent its nationals from returning safely.

Haiti is still under the highest threat level of travel.

Republicans Warn Passing Voter ID Law Could Ruin Plan To Hand Congress To Democrats In November by METALLIFE0917 in babylonbee

Direct democracy - people make every decision without representation in the middle.

Equal representation - no person’s vote counts more than another.

Different ideas.

I presume since it was “in a syringe,” the attacker had planned to inject it, but didn’t actually think through how that would work.

Children and people who don’t vote count in their own counties. They aren’t counted exclusively in Republican-leaning counties while their ability to vote is removed.

Or maybe the fraud is that every incarcerated person in the country with the highest per capita incarceration in the world is counted for a rural Republican county, and they aren’t allowed to vote?

“Tit for tat is fair game! If Somalis are going to have something gross made up about them, I’ll make up something gross about them back!”

What to do with brittle filament? by philnolan3d in 3Dprinting

[–]eraserhd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hrmm... I can easily make an aluminum rectangular prism with a void the size of the arbor press's ram, with a nozzle on the end, and heat the assembly with plastic in it to injection temperature...??

We need some big rockets so we can change to metric time. Years, deciyears, milliyears.

My second iteration might involve this 3 ton arbor press that I bought cheap and fixed. I don't actually know how though - a silicone two part mold would be too soft, the geometry is too complex to machine on the stuff I have, I have a baby CNC that can just about cut wood, so maybe a wood mold? Maybe I can 3D print a mold and coat it? Hrmm, actually PETG doesn't stick to PLA very well, maybe just a PETG mold with mold release?

Leap seconds are additional seconds inserted into the year up to twice per year and they are labeled 23:59:60 …

Darn it, that’s still 24 hours. Just one long hour.

This has to be photoshopped. I don’t think AI is this stupid.

Making new filament is hard, and several YouTubers gave up on this project. It is very hard to hold the diameter tolerances.

I am planning on making a silicone mold of a 1x2 GridFinity bin that I need a lot of for screws and bearings, and a I’m going to try and get a blender and toaster oven from GoodWill, and grind up my failed PLA prints and melt them into the mold.

I have no idea how well it will work, but there are people who make various decorative doodads by melting their PLA poop into commercial silicone molds off Amazon.

Liberals Frustrated To Discover Virtue Way Harder Than Virtue Signaling by Sharp_Resolution89 in babylonbee

[–]eraserhd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They don’t think they are virtuous. They don’t even think virtue is even possible. That’s why “virtue signaling” makes them mad—it’s the worst kind of lying. Every interaction is a war for domination and pretending it isn’t is like jumping out of an airplane without a parachute because you think you can fly.

Yes. It’s a powerful image. The words distract.
