If I make really stupid and unintelligible comments, it's because someone keeps trying to take my account and use it as a bot account. (In process of changing passwords AGAIN both here and for email)

Yeah. This is why wire duct is standard in industrial panels. While this is an electrical panel (looks like a... breaker panel? I'm really only seeing a disconnect, a bunch of breakers, and a LOT of in-panel GFCI units...) I've built industrial control panels.

Also, it's fine and dandy they labeled components in the panel, but I don't see any wire labels. That's even WORSE than the zip ties for anyone who has to maintenance the panel later on...

It's a testament to how messed up the political climate and arbitrary voting "norms" are in the US; There are families that instill the concept of "never vote Blue" into their kids, rather than teaching those kids to look at what the history of who is on the ballet and making their own decisions.

I am absolutely embarrassed to be an American right now, and I always saw Trump leading to a huge economic maiming of this nation. Frankly... we deserve it...

As an American... Yeah, I'm ashamed at my nation... 🤦‍♂️

I'm sorry, as an Eagle Scout and having been an Assistant Scout Master, SINCE WHEN DOES THE PENTAGON AND DOD HAVE A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE BSA?!

Of course I didn't notice King Kong at first; My eyes immediately went to the the text.

If I was around at the time... I might not have been so peaceful... I might have been tempted to do things the French way... ¬_¬

I didn't originally know the other connected terms, just that "InCel" meant "involuntarily celibate," and when the topic ever so slightly came up with some online friends, I said "Hm? Involuntarily Celibate, right? I mean, that kinda describes me, unfortunately." I don't think I have had friends stop and change the conversation direction so fast before. Many people at the same time essentially saying "You may not get any, but NEVER compare yourself to them. You are SO MUCH BETTER than they are!"

As someone who has built industrial control panels to the ETL specifications; WHADDAFAQ?! O_o

As an American, I will say that, yes, there is a LOT of stupidity happening over here that led to this, but there were also some factors that were involved in pushing this to that point, the biggest being people (correctly) not believing in the 2 Party System, as well as Trump stumbling into saying something that resonated with people making them think he was a slightly more trustworthy politician by accidentally admitting he abuses legal loopholes like others do as well... I hate it here...

The excitement in how he said "THAT'S A JIGSAW!!!" Like something is returning to his life long lost.

You say that like we're gonna defend him, which we aren't. Throw both him and Trump in prison. Heck, throw every name in the Epstein documents into prison, regardless of political party. We don't want them out and about. We want them to do the time for their crimes.

You have no idea how much this exact thought has been worrying me for nearly 2 years now. Star Trek is an amazing future to be in, BUT NOT AN AMAZING UNIVERSE TO BE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF! D:

As a life-long Halo fan, I now feel obligated to make my own Spartan armor and protest in it. This pisses me off, and I am disgusted by Microsoft for not issuing a Cease and Desist order. ¬_¬

Dude... if Congress cannot settle on a budget within 1 month of a government shutdown, without any vote it should default to a repeat of the past year's budget. Either that, or all Representatives and Senators suddenly have to start paying out of pocket, pooling together funds, for the paychecks of the essential federal workers. Something, ANYTHING, just to keep a government shutdown from being used as a way to keep people hostage or to be overly cruel.

I mean... as you get older, I would think you'd get fed-up with people BS and go do interesting things, like maybe woodworking or blacksmithing. Doesn't need to be making a blanket. Don't let stereotypes lock you in, do what you want. 🤷‍♂️

I think I would like to call this "Ms. Frizzle-levels of enthusiasm," which this woman DEFINITELY meets.

Oh? Jail time for swapping plates? And they do this every single day? Catch them, charge them for the number of days ICE has been there, lock them up. Crack down on them as hard as they want to on the populace, because now there's a(nother) legal reason to.

Yo, that kid probably has the "take apart & put back together" tism, and used it in the best way possible in that moment. Screw the school expelling him, he did everyone in that school a favor that day. I kinda hope that school district's name gets dragged through the mud for this.

While I do not condone outright murder like that, there is also something to be said about people seeing the repercussions of a breaking point due to the 'system;' People see they are not alone in this feeling, and it can in some ways help unify and enable people to demand change. Do I wish it was an act that DIDN'T kill someone? Yes. But all the same it did send a message. Frankly, the world needs both the sharp acts and the long tedious campaigns to make positive change.

I acknowledge that the current system is messed up, however, I also acknowledge that progress may need to be broken down into smaller stages, meaning voting in the messed up system to either make small progress or reduce the loss of progress is needed while we hopefully either fix the messed up system or work to implement a new and better system. What matters is looking at your options and opportunities to either make those small steps or minimize the damage. Aka those who didn't vote screwed us

We probably would still be if it weren't for the entire world turning to the bare minimum in order to be as profitable as physically possible. (Emphasis on the use of "physically" and not "humanly")

Home to an actual temporal paradox surrounding 1 Human and 1 Covenant AI's [ilovebees], discovered & invaded by the Covenant, briefly plagued by the Flood, half a continent glassed, the (currently) main local endpoint of a portal to an anti-sentient-being galactic superweapon fabricator, briefly held hostage/occupied by a rogue faction of humanity's own AI's ("the Created"), occupied by the Banished which forced humanity and the Created to re-Ally, lastly ONI...

Halo's Earth counts as "fucked."

First of all, this not only hurts my surprisingly-okay-and-not-hurting back just looking at it but also gets into uncanny valley territory as my brain is saying "looks like human but possibly isn't."
Secondly, I now need a video of this person doing it around others, initially only slightly disturbing them, only to snap up to a normal human sprint in a single fluid motion while screaming and chasing the people away.

Considering the focus is on max frame rate then doing something? I am assuming some sort of game-tick-attached DOT. Sounds about right.

The legs throw me off a bit, but other than that, nice!

Wait... hold on... is the leg more-forward her RIGHT leg...? Is she walking and just taking really long strides...?
