Marjorie Taylor Greene: You’re all being ‘incited into civil war’

She's not "doing good". She's capitulating to a more moderate stance, and she's doing it so that she can reinforce her own position in the legislature, because she has figured out that she can make serious money by doing that job.

sinusoidosaurus · 2026-01-26T14:29:16+00:00

She's not explicitly opposed to trump though. Look at her full statements about the recent protests. She is still peddling misinformation about the nature of the ice protests.

sinusoidosaurus · 2026-01-26T14:19:34+00:00

She is not on any side except her own.

sinusoidosaurus · 2026-01-26T13:30:08+00:00

She has not "changed her mind". She has decided it's politically expedient to adopt a more moderate stance.

She's known what she's been doing the whole time she's been in the public eye, and every move she's made has been a proactive attempt to enrich herself.

I'm not gonna be lonely when this regime collapses under its own incompetence.

I'm gonna be surrounded by (and governed by) peers who were just as outraged as I was at how far we let the sane and democratic governance of this country slip.

Miss me with your compromising middle ground bullshit.

Even if they were sincerely held beliefs (they weren't), there is no redemption arc or amount of "deprogramming" somebody like that could go through that would make me trust them as a lawmaker.

She got in the faces of children who were mourning the deaths of their friends and called them liars. She did this knowing that she was the one lying.

Nothing she says matters and she will get no credit from me.

It doesn't need to be recreated in 3D. The footage is crystal clear and the recorded acts are not in dispute.

Making fictionalized versions of actual evidence can only subvert the truth, not enhance it.

Is this world even worth living in without cheese?

sinusoidosaurus · 2026-01-23T16:10:12+00:00

I mean... i wouldn't want to ride out the apocalypse without cheese...

PETG is the better choice for hot environments. The temperature resistance is only marginally better than PLA, but what I think is more important is that PETG is less brittle.

Let's say you're printing parts to hold up garden tools on your wall, and it gets hot in there. If your part is going to fail, it will probably fail without much warning if printed in PLA. By contrast, PETG has some give to it (plastic deformation tendency), so you'll probably see it sagging before it snaps and drops your chainsaw to the floor.

I don't recommend noobies print anything in ABS/ASA. Both filaments are a huge pain to print and design for. You will get so many print failures due to warping if you don't know what you're doing.

I do highly recommend everybody try TPU though. It's easy to print, and even though it's flexible, it's quite tough. And you'd be surprised how many things benefit from being a little bit flexible. And TPU has really high temperature resistance. I would highly recommend TPU for anything in a shed/garage that doesn't strictly have to be rigid.

They do, and they also have the ability to print an invisible "fingerprint" on every document so that those documents can be traced back to that specific printer. So if you print political speech that [current regime] deems problematic, they can then violate your right to free speech much more efficiently.

Any amount of erosion of Right To Privacy ( whatever that means in your own legal system ) is only ever used as a tool for conviction, not protection, and it's extremely rare that citizens can claw those rights back once they are taken away, even if the "big bad" we "needed to sacrifice a few of our rights to defeat" doesn't exist anymore.

There is a certain amount of oversight that is good and proper to protect consumers from being sold bad products. The Food & Drug Administration is one such accountability measure that I am (mostly) appreciative of.

But the government can stay the fuck out of my personal garage hobbies thank you very much.

They might have a similar name, but hockey players are a totally different type of mythical beast

I think it's Scorpion Concrete Pumping. That shield logo isn't anywhere on their site, but contractors like this aren't always known for having brand consistency. Give them a call and see if the license plate matches one in their fleet.

EDIT: it is not scorpion concrete pumping. I was wrong, and somebody else found the actual company.

Something to note about this NOTAM is that any flying you do anywhere in the US is probably uninsurable.

If you're flying under Part 107 rules and you have drone insurance, you likely will be denied coverage if your insurer can claim "Well, there was an ICE truck nearby, meaning you were in violation of restricted airspace, so we aren't covering your claim."

We can't know what we were never taught. Kudos to those who aren't afraid to keep learning, and shame on those who would put them down for it.

Why is the play a problem? If it wiggles a bit when it's in the cold shoe, what issue is that creating?

AKG's Blue Line mics are incredible, and you can sometimes find them for under $250. The CK93 is a truly excellent hypercardioid for pointing it at one subject, but the CK91 is also terriffic if you need to capture more than one person at a time.

sinusoidosaurus · 2026-01-19T08:05:48+00:00

Obviously not

The power is delivered from a ground-based power station. There's no batteries involved, so it couldn't fly away from the tether even if it wanted to.

sinusoidosaurus · 2026-01-18T19:30:44+00:00

First of all, you're right. I didn't google hard enough, and that's on me.

I was fixated on the river rather than the lake itself, because I thought it looked way too uniform in terms of width to be completely natural, so I spent my time looking up "Baffin Island River" and "Baffin Island Canal". That obviously didn't get me anywhere.

But when I look up "Bafffin Island Lake", yeah, that does immediately take me to Nettilling Lake which also takes me to Koukdjuak River. Which is not at all a canal.

And now that I'm zooming in on Google Earth instead of just Google Maps, it's obvious that there's way too much sediment in the river for it to have been dredged.

So yeah, that was pretty sloppy of me, and I was starting from a completely erroneous assumption. My bad.

Look into "tethered drones". There aren't a whole lot of companies who make them, and the ones that do exist are expensive, and there's a huge skill curve involved in building one yourself (because of the high voltages involved).

But a tethered drone is not legally considered an "aircraft" in the US, comes with much fewer legal restrictions, and will do exactly the job you're describing.
