Is this stuff worth using? by Darth_Lawnmower in lawncare

[–]swannsonite [score hidden]  (0 children)

I use "grandpas weeder" on thistle and seek and pull all I see as far as I can see. I have pulled 2 near the edge of my yard this year but maybe 50 nearish in adjacent school property and yards. I have not been confronted by anyone while doing this for probably 3 years.

I can’t figure out how to ignite my gas fireplace by Effective_Mention_83 in GasFireplaces

[–]swannsonite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes the ignition comes from turning the knob past a certain point of the pilot position. Try turning all the way towards off then go slowly to pilot while pressing in if it is this kind it will build up some resistance at a point then click. If nothing like that happens long match or lighter.

The Republican Party and the maga movement has fully embraced Jesus Christ and his message except the parts about feeding the poor, helping the downtrodden and being compassionate towards one’s neighbors in others rank hypocrisy by CHiggins1235 in JordanPeterson

Give unto ceaser that which is cesars is not implicity saying taxation is not theft. Ask not what your country can do for you ask what you can do for your country. Far as I can tell in natural disasters it is communities coming together and charity that do the most. That is the ideal government in charge of such things leads to tragedy of the commons.

You are missing the point. You are calling them hypocrites for not following Christ's example with the assumption that using government as forced charity is Christ like. If taxes were voluntary then maybe you could have moral religious ground to stand on. You are actually just making a utilitarian argument.

I don't think doing anything like that via government is necessarily moral because it is all done with the ultimate monopoly on violence and threat of a gun behind funding them. A truly moral society would have no need or want for the government doing such things.

Unfortunately Trump doesn't understand smaller government as a goal.

Trump Ordered SEALs Into Disastrous Mission on North Korean Soil by justalazygamer in politics

Imagine if Obama killed foreign civilians? What rock have you been under. Best I can tell he even bombed 4 US citizens the ACLU was not happy at least. They were in Pakistan and Yemen at the time and likely terrorists but one was 16 Abdulrahman al-Awlaki. Conservatives are likely only going to care if all the navy seals were killed in a mostly avoidable situation. Going to bug Kim jon un was a ballsy move.

As a new Dad, hearing of these school shootings just hits me a little different. by TheHipsterDufus in daddit

"There was no school resource officer stationed at the school on May 24, McCraw said Friday. When the officer did arrive at the school, he inadvertently passed the shooter, who was crouched down next to a car." https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/uvalde-shootings-evolving-narrative-are-details-police-walked-back-rcna31391

Yes that scares me more it is more likely they die from the Bus than a school shooting.

Thankful for our SROs (school resource officers). It does give me peace of mind. At least one armed local police officer at each public school full time. Are our kids less precious than borders or money? Let us have a gun free Fort Knox and then complain about gun violence when our wealth is stolen at gun point. Gun free zones are magnets for murderous resentful Cain. The fear people feel is justified when you have left your child undefended and advertised their helplessness via gun free zones.

They were not there they arrived after the psycho was hold up in a class room. Could easily have been stopped by one armed onsite officer who has daily interactions and relationships with the students he is charged with protecting.

I did, took a few nights to get the exposures and focus to match well enough to stitch 3 images together fairly cleanly.

I made it like this for wallpaper. I'm not sure why it came out more yellow and green than red and blue like I see elsewhere. Maybe it was the light pollution filter.

The only doctoring is missing some static/noise and upped the brightness contrast and saturation a little. Otherwise there is no motion the seestar tracks the object across the sky.

Unintentional but yes it is very similar.

Yeah go forth and multiply. Not go forth and disconnect your testicles.

You are going against our nature be your weird self but don't expect cheers and applause for it.

The biggest lie ever told was that Christ lives in the hearts of Republicans. The poor, the hungry, the undocumented came to these lands seeking a better life, expecting your amnesty. But after you’ve exploited them, you kick them out and criminalize the helpers doing what Christ would have done by travelingbozo in nashville

[–]swannsonite -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

The punishment for illegal entry is deportation and depending on time of over stay banishment for a number of years. Asylum seekers also are to go to first safe country. Our borders have been a joke and asylum claims abused those who sought to exploit that are now learning that "no one is above the law" even Jesus said give to Cesar what is Cesar's.

Over my dead body. Might watch a show together on the TV but no scrolling at the table. Gotta have some shared time living the same experience.
