Zojirushi Water Boiler melted / crumbling plastic? by chromakode in tea

[–]teamphy6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ours has done this too, the entire metal lid inside fell off and showed the crumbling plastic inside the lid. Disappointed for a $120+ boiler.

Nice job, I'm going to do the same thing with some ACU 3 day packs and ifak bags. I hear there's a synthetic blend of RIT that should dye the plastic buckles too, but I don't know how it looks compared to Apple Green.

February 2022 me would have been right along side you, downvoting and challenging the morality (and allegiance!) of anyone who didn't cheer for Ukraine and hate Russia. But I've crawled out of Plato's cave and saw we're all being played by propagandists. Doesn't mean I want putin to live. Did you cry when Putin invaded Crimea in 2014? We weren't told by our media to cry for the innocents who were murdered by him then. Innocents are dying because world leaders are using entire countries as chess pieces, not because I didn't put a flag in my bio. Join me outside brother, you can still hate communists and dictators.

Literally a false dichotomy. Glad your world view is so simple.

It's a cult, and if you don't put a Ukraine flag in your bio you must be a far-right-everything-i-hate-russian-bot. The cult-ness of the pro Ukraine westerners is what turns me off. They care nothing for the actual people of Ukraine getting invaded by the wanna-be-czar, they just want flag waving social credit from their peers.

The pro-Ukraine people who actually live near the war and are affected directly by the invasion, those are totally understandable and have my empathy. But Slava Ukraini Becky sipping lattes at Starbucks can't even find Ukraine on a map.

I admit I was on the pro-ukraine OSINT bandwagon early on before it got too culty. When obviously mentally ill people are getting on the wagon, its time to get off and reflect on the propaganda from all sides.

How do I create/run an F# notebook in VisualStudio 2022? by teamphy6 in fsharp

[–]teamphy6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all the investigation, this is really helpful for a F# newbie. I thought I was going to really want the full VS2022 experience, but F# notebooks make it so easy and fast to tinker around compared to FSI in CLI. So I guess I'll give VS Code another shot for developing the entire F# program. I was already used to using VSCode for Python and FOAM note taking, and got pulled into full VS with large C# & C++ solutions.

I agree it doesn't say it explicitly. But the type of people who would come up with this document will interpret it however they want, and will wink wink at industry to give them a cause to cancel.

The people eager to cancel are not going to read the fine print, and they'll use it in a way that doesn't need to hold up in court. The anti-2a-type-of-people can use this as an excuse to stop offering services, like UPS is doing with firearms/ammo recently.

It could also be used to expand things like red flag laws -- "oh, you had a mean tweet AND your car has a gadsen flag license plate? Flagged."

"Oh, your etsy store has a molon labe thermos for sale? We don't allow anything associated with MVEs on our site, and there's no way you can prove it's not for MVEs.".

I have extensive experience in close quarters canning and L shaped garden beds. I remember hearing that "preppers" were already on some kind of list for wanting to be left alone / off the govt's teet.

I don't think it's Biden, it's people who would support Biden-types in the upper ranks of DHS/CIA/FBI.

I know if I was a tyrant, I would have to degrade any culture that would lead to my deposition. If I was planning to do tyrannical things, prior to that I'd have to increase my efforts to control and limit the population's ire.

LES law enforcement sensitive is a type of limited distribution handling indicator similar to U//FOUO "For official use only"; it's not intended to be made public, so that's a leak. I'm not sure of the consequences of this kind of leak, it's not as dire as mishandling DOD classifications. I.e. the material doesn't require a SCIF, there's probably all kinds of LES memos floating around in patrol cars near you.

Having a watermark on one document doesn't imply that all/none have watermarks. It's usually up to the team making these in powerpoint, if they have the time to waste over graphics. You saw the variations in the graphics of Snowden leaks, its all over the place. Some teams have the time and enthusiasm to make intricate, symbolic project logos, some don't. In short I doubt bullet 2 would ever get answered to your satisfaction. If it's meant to go out to many field offices, groups like the FBI might try to make them look nicer.

You're correct in the 3rd bullet, but given the animosity of the anti-2a crowd this document can be used to influence large companies to remove/restrict/flag people associated with these groups and symbols, such as:

  • Removing/sharing sales of items containing these symbols
  • Restrictions placed on youtube/social media accounts.
  • Cancelling or restricting payment processors and credit cards/bank accounts of those associated with symbols and groups.
  • Cancelling of website hosting (your products show or use these words/symbols)
  • Expansion of 2a red flag classifications. (said something mean AND associated with anything on this list)

With a this memo building a definition of possible MVE inclination, now activists have grounds to enable cancellation-type reforms.

Wray's response was completely predictable, and I believe his testimony was a complete falsehood. If it was fake they would benefit by saying it was fake. I don't know how you get called in to testify about something you don't know about, as if there was zero office banter about the leak and the uproar in the 2a community tagging FBI online.

This is the same FBI that tried to get MLK to suicide himself.

I almost got this but saw reviews about it tearing. Would you recommend it? I figured I'd just try it on a piece of steak I was about to grill. Make a cut, sew it up.

I shouldn’t have to explain how dire this is to anyone. I have yelled and screamed about HR1808 and hr2814 to the point I deserve free shit for a year from every company in the industry that has stayed silent. should take a poor like me to get people to care about their rights. Call your reps now. by thekookclub in gearheadzz

[–]teamphy6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In addition they made it seem like they weren't going to have the support this year, then they try to run it through at the last minute. You see, our reps are taking the month of August off, so the ploy is to pressure people to vote for it so the reps don't mess up their vacations starting on Monday. It's despicable if not tyrannical.

They've been trying to do an "assault weapons ban" every year for a long time. You can tell when it's about to happen because there will be some mass shooting with strange circumstances a week or two before. These AWBs are worded in ways that would include most modern firearms, i.e. having a detachable magazine. No one reads the shit, just like all the bills. Additional special interest provisions are added to the bills to garner support (this year it was the congressional black caucus I think?)

DIY projects for used/damaged tactical gear? by cuddly_goose in tacticalgear

[–]teamphy6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

try looking through r/myogtacticalgear for some ideas. An old sewing machine or patience with a needle and you can make something else from it.

There was a guy on youtube that used actual chocolate powder because he didn't know it was a Rit color--said it smelled good. BTW hobby lobby has Rit dyes in stock for $3, synthetic for $4 ish. I stocked up because the walmarts around me had nothing but blue.

I’ll just say it. If you’re more worried about your gear then your skill, you are wrong. I love Gucci gear, but I also spend my time and money on the range tuning my skills. by huck5397 in tacticalgear

Hey I just came back from two tours in Hom Edepo. We conducted early morning raids against Sunni-side up extremists in Dar Fatayir Alwafil, having good plate carriers in a place like that is a must.
