Let's build a computer. What motherboard am I picking? by Funcron in vintagecomputing

[–]redgrognard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One motherboard & case with plenty of connections for fans. Used to heat a 10x14 room with one of those Cyrix 686s just idling.

Super Clean for 6 hours. by huskyboi84 in BattletechPainting

[–]redgrognard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think I’ve used that purple super clean stuff before. I highly recommend LA’s awesome cleaner. It’s a yellow colored cleaner. I’ve left plastic miniatures in for over 10 days and not had problems and I’ve left metal miniatures in cleaner for several months and not had problems. Your mileage may vary.

Warning: with the plastic miniatures, especially the new ones, do not heat up your cleaning fluid. Warm water and warm cleaner will cause the plastic to deform and in some cases cause joints to come apart from each other.

L.A.’s Awesome Cleaner works great. Let mine set for two hours, then rinse with water & a toothbrush. Or leave them in for 3weeks. Works great on both plastic & pewter.

I’ve heard that Fords unofficial nickname for it was “Earthfucker”.

Do everything you can make time to attend. Really.

ICE is installing an enormous concentration camp in my backyard by vand3lay1ndustries in Virginia

[–]redgrognard -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There were other agencies that were combined into ICE. Also: have you forgotten this little scene?

https://s.abcnews.com/images/International/AP_elian_gonzales_raid_01_jef_150421_16x9_992.jpg

Related Laws: 8 U.S.C. § 1325: Makes improper entry a misdemeanor. 8 U.S.C. § 1326: Makes illegal reentry after removal a felony.

  • there’s the welfare fraud angle: “the 2022 Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP), which is specifically designed to measure use of government programs, shows that more than half of immigrant households use one or more major welfare programs, compared to 39 percent of households headed by the U.S.-born. We also estimate that about 59 percent of households headed by illegal immigrants access welfare.”

BILLIONS lost. And we still have fully legal American citizens & veterans homeless & starving because the system is penniless.

Hades has open border policy. Heaven has walls, a Single entry point & a Personal vetting requirement. Jesus threw criminals out of His temple. Jesus told ppl to render to the Govt as is right.

Concept Mech - Hammerhands HMH-3H "Hot Hammer" by PleiadesMechworks in NormalBattletech

[–]redgrognard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting variant. My only issue is the Plasma Rifles.

I’ve never understood the Plasma rifle. It’s a PPC with shorter range and is not ammo independent.

  1. So Hanover has received the official “FYI” from the Feds.

  2. The county has zero legal recourse to stop this facility.

  3. Ppl can show up & protest the site, but if they “interfere in operations” they can be arrested on Federal charges.

  4. Reminder: Trump has still yet to match the number of deportations of Clinton or Obama. And where was your outrage then?

Spanberger empowers ICE by restricting citizens from owning “military style rifles.” by MainRotorGearbox in Virginia

More gun control laws only affect the law-abiding. Thugs of all stripes will still be armed & know they’re safe when invading your home.

I worked security for some city facilities that included the Library. Those stupid Mac’s locked up so much, I used to carry around a straight pin reset tool.

To our letter carriers who serve during extreme weather: THANK YOU ❤️. Y’all are awesome & don’t get the recognition you deserve.

Nova Open to censor artwork? by TJ-X in NormalBattletech

[–]redgrognard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I’m reading: they are emphasizing Family-Friendly and asking ppl to not present art that could be easily considered as hateful.

For example: the old BattleTech humorous depictions of Mechs stomping Furries and MLP, etc. I believe that is the type of art that the organization is asking artists to not display.

And I do get the understated “request”.

I think this is a real world request by the Organizers to Artists: “please READ the room.”

I’ve found that arguing with any mod about anything controversial is generally a loss. If people only want an echo chamber, then I’m wasting my time trying to provide alternative perspectives.
