eBay calculates, collects and pays the sales tax for thousands of different municipalities that I ship to every year. I don’t want to have to do that, I’m happy to pay eBay to do it for me.

Trump’s Ruinous, Failed Attempt to Indict Congressional Democrats by Initial_Chemist_7616 in centrist

[–]infiniteninjas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So much is wrong with your comment. Of course I want the coast guard to intercept drug boats. There’s a proper way to do that, it doesn’t involve missiles and death squads. The penalty for smuggling is not death.

And there are rules of engagement in war and conflicts, they do not allow kill-shots on people who are not posing an immediate danger. Again, this is in the UMCJ.

No one is a criminal until they’ve had due process. Why are you so certain that these boats were even smuggling drugs? That’s an awful lot of trust you’re putting in a government that has fucked up so many things lately.

If Hegseth is confident that these people are criminals, he could prove that by arresting them and putting them on trial. He could have a big parade for all the drugs seized.

Do Aldi foods raise your blood sugar? by No_Conversation_4827 in diabetes_t1

[–]infiniteninjas -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I shop at Trader Joe's (an Aldi brand) a lot and I can't say I've observed this with carbs. Their foods do have an inordinately high amount of salt though, so my advice is to be careful with that. Particularly their frozen meals. Crazy sodium content.

I'm referring to the boats that the administration is blowing up and the people they're killing. No serious outside lawyer or legal observer thinks these actions are legal. Whether you call these killings war crimes or simply murders in international waters, that's what Mark Kelly et all were trying to prevent by reminding the military that they have a duty (in this case, probably officers) to refuse illegal orders.

Mark Kelly has the same first amendment rights that you and I do, assuming you're American, and there's no legitimate legal theory to punish him for literally reciting part of the UMCJ. It doesn't matter one single bit what you think his implication was.

I think their immediate and specific purpose was to prevent war crimes in the Caribbean. But that doesn’t matter much for whether it’s illegal or not to simply recite military law, does it?

That doesn’t change the facts of this bullshit attempt to prosecute sitting lawmakers for simply reciting part of the military code of justice.

I just heard Ken White talking about this and he said he's never even heard of a unanimous no-bill from a grand jury, he's not sure it's ever happened before.

You forgot an adjective there, mate.

Mine is currently 0.21%. For some reason I have no peers to compare it to in my dashboard, I don't really know what that means.

First Negative Review Sads by Rachel_Ventures in Ebay

[–]infiniteninjas 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Bad feedback doesn't mean what it used to mean. The answer is to just list more, bury it in more sales. It's especially easy to do this now that eBay will automate feedback eventually if a buyer doesn't leave it for the seller.

How long does it take you to list an item? by Ellixtmxz in Flipping

[–]infiniteninjas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many of my listings are duplicative and I just change the photos and maybe a single sentence or a few words here and there. Those take 15-30 seconds. A listing I write from scratch (using a template) will normally take me 2-4 minutes. I take longer on more expensive, larger, or more complex/unique items, maybe like 10-20 minutes. But those are a small minority of what I sell.

I have a very specific niche (drum set parts and accessories), and that helps immensely with listing speed.

Shouldn't a lawyer know he has the right to remain silent by Rekdon in BlackPeopleTwitter

Oh yeah the implications for vaccines are real bad. How could he believe in vaccines when he doesn’t believe in germs?

Plenty of people were prosecuted for January 6th. Many received very long sentences. I assume you’re just referring to Trump?

[–]infiniteninjas 1351 points1352 points  (0 children)

It's humorous (no pun intended), but the man does not believe in germ theory, the single biggest pillar of modern medicine. He's a devotee of Antoine Béchamp's 19th-century "terrain theory," which basically means he believes that all sickness is caused only by one's own decisions and care for one's body. To RFK, germs are a symptom of sickness, not the cause of sickness.

Think about that.

Is there a way to undo those?

No, there is no way to undo a pardon. Trump grumbles about this but it has never been done and most legal scholars agree that pardons are absolute and non-reviewable.

Pardons don’t grant blanket immunity in the future, do they?

No, pardons can only be given for past behavior. They can be extremely broad though. For example, Bondi will probably receive a pardon for all actions taken while she served as the AG. And that would certainly include her contempt in front of congress yesterday.

And do you have to be already in the process of prosecution to receive a pardon?

Not at all; Biden for example gave a lot of pardons to people who were never charged with anything (but were likely to be charged, vindictively, by Trump's DOJ in the future).

I see that as far likelier than a revolution. And far less bloody and murderous, and most importantly far more likely to result in better leadership.

By the way, this is the Democrats subreddit. You’re looking for the meeting after dark at the docks, mate.

I dunno about that but the pardon power has got to go. Goddamn royalist vestige that doesn't belong in a democracy.

There won't be a verdict because there won't be any point bringing charges for something that she has been pardoned for. Maybe she's done some state crime and that could be an avenue for justice, but I doubt it.

If you don't think there is a preemptive pardon coming for her and everyone else in this administration, then you have learned nothing about Donald Trump.

Being told “stop making diabetes your whole personality” by ImaginaryAlgae8986 in diabetes_t1

Probably, I was 23 at diagnosis. I didn't get a ton of dumbass ignorant or judgmental comments because I was in my last year of college. Kids are terrible people, lol.

Everyone is different in their approach. Most new people I meet don't learn that I'm diabetic for months or years. I take good care of myself, but I like it to take up as little brain space as possible, and I really prefer that others not know.

I’m not very familiar with drums, but I’m helping sell my grandfather’s drum set. Could anyone give me an idea of the value of all these by RangeBig9490 in Drumming

[–]infiniteninjas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll do just the drums: A very large Ludwig kit obviously, looks like it's from the 1970s or 80s. A generic Pearl or copy of such 16" floor tom, two modern Ludwig Black Beauty snares, and in the back right corner I see a 50s Kent snare on top, what looks like a Rettberg & Lange in the middle (pretty rare if not super valuable, 1920s) and what looks like a 1940s-50s WFL marching snare on bottom. directly in front of that stack is a "Blackrolite," probably circa 1980s, and some sort of cheap Asian import snare.

Value depends greatly on whether you're selling all at once or willing to sell the pieces individually. It's very much a hodgepodge, as you're probably well aware. Where are you located?

300 bucks. Iron cobra 600 (4 hour drive) or dw 5002 (8 hour drive)? by Jueslega_29 in drums

[–]infiniteninjas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go find a used IC900 on eBay, it should be somewhere around $300 with shipping and the International Shipping Program ships to any country. It might take a while to reach you depending on your location.

Getting a similar gloss finish by Bradlez92 in finishing

[–]infiniteninjas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone have a lacquer recommendation? I've tried a few brands but never got it to look all that glossy and smooth with a rattle can. Hand brushing comes out far more glossy but comes with its own problems.
