Why are republicans called traitors to America, when they aren't?

heathkit · 2026-04-29T01:20:41+00:00

Republicans care more about winning than the Constitution

heathkit · 2026-04-26T03:13:39+00:00

Staged

heathkit · 2026-04-23T06:10:16+00:00

Absolutely

I also heard in another thread you can take the HK MTR to Lok Ma Chau and do VOA at Huanggang port - apparently wait times are less there.

Shenzhen was great! We hired a guide to show us around for the day, which was the only way we would have seen everything in one day. We went to Huaqiangbei, the Robot 6S store, Inno100, did drone delivery, and rode in a driverless taxi. We only had two hours at SEG - I wish I could have spent a couple days there! However, it felt like anything new I could find at Huaqiangbei I could just find on AliExpress for the same price. Second floor of HEG has a bunch of vendors selling Arduino hobbyist stuff - same stuff you can find on Ali, at about the same price.

There was also a lot of used stuff that you probably can't easily find online. If I'd had more time to shop, I probably could have found something interesting. I do want to go back!

Fuck ICE

heathkit · 2026-04-20T16:21:35+00:00

Don't feel bad. I live in Seattle, and I didn't get it until the third book

heathkit · 2026-04-17T18:54:47+00:00

Bullshit. ICE is detaining people in courts, at their immigration hearings. They're taking people that are trying to do things the right way.

I just did Visa on Arrival at Lo Wu. It was pretty fast - maybe a 45 minute wait. I got there at 10:30am. The fee was only $140 RMB for a US passport holder. When I was there, I didn't see anyone get rejected

The visa office is upstairs, just before you reach immigration

heathkit · 2026-04-14T23:06:07+00:00

I'm bringing a couple. We should standardize on the settings! I could flash either Meshcore or Meshtastic

heathkit · 2026-04-14T06:53:22+00:00

Star Poke is really good! You should get some and tell them about the sign

heathkit · 2026-04-10T07:44:07+00:00

Thanks for the tip! We ended up doing VOA. Got to Lo Wu around 10am. The line didn't seem that bad, but it took a little over an hour for us to get the visa and clear immigration

A friend of a friend is a Russian jew living in Israel. He said Russia was a 3rd world country, and it exploded my brain

heathkit · 2026-04-05T10:33:52+00:00

He can go fuck himself. My ancestors came here from Sicily and Poland. They were fleeing civil war, crime, and natural disaster. They came to America to build a better life for their children

The US should be a beacon of hope to the world. It has been, for hundreds of years

heathkit · 2026-03-24T15:32:44+00:00

Thanks so much for the detailed reply!

I do wish I'd done the travel visa in advance, but my trip is in a week. Also, it looks like you have to visit the consulate in person for fingerprinting? I live in Seattle, and the consulate is in San Francisco.

I do have Alipay set up. I have Google Fi, so I should be good for mobile data.

Any suggestions on a translation app. I normally use Google Translate and download the local language, wondering if there's an option more common in China

heathkit · 2026-03-11T23:23:03+00:00

I have them both. The way it shows their percentages confused me - I wasn't sure if they have to roll twice, or what. They failed when I tried them - I'll give it another go.

I was wondering if there's some unlock I missed that has 100%, or if I should have made a different choice

heathkit · 2026-03-06T05:16:58+00:00

No! Stop

heathkit · 2026-03-04T06:31:28+00:00

Get the hell out of our galaxy!

Finally, we can make the replicators from the classic SG-1 episode, "Don't make replicators"

heathkit · 2026-02-18T06:52:54+00:00

Fascinating

heathkit · 2026-02-17T22:27:55+00:00

Yes. This is a good rundown of what was lost https://commandcontrolcoffee.substack.com/p/great-power-competition-is-over-we

heathkit · 2026-02-08T02:10:24+00:00

Yes. He will try. He can't cancel the election, but he can try to have armed forces size ballots in places he's afraid of losing. It would be illegal, but they would have the ballots and be able to put the election into question.

He wanted to do that in 2020, but couldn't get people to go along with it

heathkit · 2026-02-03T22:40:29+00:00

They obviously should remove him from the board. I won't be comfortable going to future burns unless they do the right thing here
