That makes sense. It didn't come with the other part, but there's a bunch at a thrift store nearby, which must have been where I've seen it before.

 

I feel like I knew what this thing was right up until I had one. Two tool id site had no idea, and one said it's a ball joint separator, but I can't find any that look like this, and I swear I've seen them in stores, but can't remember where.

Maybe a type of bearing press?

I understand that the dems are dogshit and couldn't get a rally behind them. But the fascists needed to be wiped out completely. We could have rallied against the rebublicans, and had more time to change the parties in power, but now we won't be likely to get the chance to oust them ever again. We have been shown with every election for the last half a century that anytime conservatives get power, they make it harder to take away, and make the world a worse place.

I don't blame the voters, but I'm unhappy with all the people who thought this was the time to try to make a point to the dems by convincing others they shouldn't vote against fascism. They didn't try it when it was romney. They didn't try it when it was bush and Carey, they decided the correct time to sow infighting was an actual real fascist with a team of sycophants who want to make him a king.

And most who decided they didn't want to support the dems probably didn't go to the polls at all, since it's far too common for dipshit Americans to thinknonly the presidential campaign matters, so now not only is the president a king, but the down ballot positions support him as well.

The christofascists were always going to vote en mass for one side, as they always have. We were supposed to try and stop them. Now antifa is a terrorist group. People are being arrested for wearing free palastine shirts. Being queer is considered a mental illness. Wearing a mask at a protest is a crime. The mass surveillance that never should have started in the first place is not only strengthened, it's data is for sale.

Everything just got a lot worse, and changing it just got a lot harder.

That's exactly what I'm saying. There are so many other issues to consider, but they were disregarded because of one issue that has not changed.

It's still happening, and now we're also building concentration camps.

Direct action does not mean "don't also vote to make it harder for the fascists." Only two options were valid for the majority of election positions. We could have bought more time to fill local positions with third parties and progressives, but instead we're building concentration camps and cutting any progress we've made in the last 20 years.

Let's say everyone who isn't Maga voted third party. What does the electoral college do?

If only two candidates had the possibility of winning, and neither of them were going to change that particular issue, then it held no bearing on the election. Pretending that it could be changed and sowing apathy in voters gave full power to the fascists.

So, is the world a better place now? Or is everyone worse off than we could have been while the genocide is still happening regardless?

  1. We haven't been a democracy since we allowed companies to buy politicians. We've had two sides to choose from, kind of, which are: 'hardly does anything' and 'actively makes everything worse for everyone immediately'.

  2. Genocide wasn't on the ballot. Anyone who thought trump would stop it was wrong, as anyone who thought about it for a second had been telling them.

So now that those are out of the way, how does that idealistic high horse help every person whose life is now actively worse now?

Yeah I bet we'd be in exactly the same position right now if non fascist infighting hadn't handed republicans the house, senate, and presidency.

I'm sure kamala would have cut funding to everything useful and given executive power to elon musk and sold our national parks to the oil companies and built a private gestapo and legalized stopping brown people for being brown and put massive tariffs on everything and given the CDC to an evil dipshit and I'm sure a blue majority senate and house would have approved all of that.

Good thing everyone screaming about the genocide made so many people lose hope or it might still be going on.

Wait, trump did end the palastinian conflict, right?

Anyone in Texas know how to etch brass?

Really, if there is a sudden turning point, where Eat The Rich becomes common thought, how long does it last? Is it over in a few days? Is it a literal class war going on for years? If the bottom 50 decides to take out the top 5, how long can it go on for?

[–] SadSadSatellite@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That rules. I wonder what the print speed it, and if they'll be a way to use toner carts

Since ice is made up of molon labe guys, they should be fully supportive.

 

I want a security camera system that I can trust to be only my own. My requirements are not hugely unreasonable, but I can't find them the way search engines suck shit these days. I want a camera system with:

Local storage

No internet connection

No phone connection

No cables

No cloud storage option

No router necessary

And the option that seems impossible with the others: No option of remote connections

I don't want to see whats going on in real time on my phone, I want a completely private recording saved if I ever need to see if I got robbed. I don't want offline ability, I want cameras that can not connect to the internet at all, even through another device. I'm not worried about local network hacking, I want saved video that can only be viewed directly from the local storage. Longish life batteries so I don't have to route power, and no cables that can be unplugged. Solar powered would be nice, but isn't necessary.

Why is that so hard to find?

 

I have a heavy crystal decanter I've been using for years. A while back I was having some guests for a week, and thought I'd save some money and grabbed a bottle of Jim beam to put in it, as opposed to the higher end I tend to go for, because none of my guest cared about Bourbon. I noticed the level going down further than I had consumed. This has never been an issue before, so I figured someone had just nipped it while o was asleep. The next day, there was condensation on the inside, and the level had dropped further.

Since I'd been using the decanter for so long, I assumed the frosting on the stopper had rubbed off and it no longer sealed.

When it was empty, I refilled it with larceny, my standard, and to my surprise, it didn't evaporate at all for weeks.

Last night, I refilled it with beam again, and this morning, it had dropped and there was condensation on the side.

What really confused me, is Jim beam has a lower alcohol content than the Bourbons I usually fill the decanter with, so I would think it would evaporate as readily.

Why does only this one brand evaporate?

Quick searching gave me no results

Tldr: Why does Jim Beam evaporate in my decanter while nothing else does?

 

I've got a Sony android TV and it... Kinda sucks with the constant 'reccommended content's (ads). Every update just adds more scrolling shit I don't want to see.I want to know what different programs I can try out, and maybe a different os I can put on it. I'm looking at smarttubenext currently, and I want to know of other things I can use to customize my experience.

Any recommendations?

 

I manage several computers, and every time I set up a new one I go through the same motions. Install w10, disable a bunch of shit, add the same list of programs, delete the same default apps, setup Firefox how I want it, run through Oosu, disable several services, and add some registry keys.

Is it possible to have a USB boot media that will do all the tweaking for me? As of right now it takes close to two hours every time, if could just plug in a drive and run the installer, it would make my life a lot easier.
