Yeah, I loved the little hesitation he gave too. Too much of a coward to commit fully.

So you can be excluded from service if you prove that you fit every stereotype?

My FIL just said about the team name change from the "Redskins" to the "Chiefs": "the team name got dei'd". This is shortly after making a big deal that our straws from the restaurant we were at were still plastic.

I mean, I've seen several TV shows and movies that show that spycraft is definitely hereditary. That means that it's definitely the case for big balls.... Right?.....

Totally agree. Most of those look very innocuous. If you watch the video of the particular event in question, it's blatantly obvious:

It's super annoying isn't it? The video is superbly clear. He did it, he did it on purpose, and he knew what it meant. You can see it, and his intent easily.

Not just one. Four casinos

For real, what are the chances he even met his Grandpa.

[–] nieminen@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago

Not necessarily "anti-trump", just "pro-democracy". Just happens that pro-democracy is inherently anti-trump

I just started to listen to A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn on Audible. https://www.audible.com/pd/B0030H777E?source_code=ASSORAP0511160007

The first chapter talks about Columbus and the genocide he started. It's eye opening.

This is so much better than mine!

As an American, it scares the hell out of me, but I agree with you.

There's no ads, JavaScript, or tracking analytics, just a straight up html page. My hope is to simply have a place that shares facts.

It's by no means complete. I'd happily welcome anyone who has references to help me complete this page. I just found out the site I was using for his executive orders gets them after about 10 days, and the Whitehouse website has all the up to date one (almost 80 when I checked last night). I'll try to parse through them and update the list as I have time.

If you have any suggested edits or additional items I should add, I'm happy to do so given a reference.

I hope to keep it up to date as much as I can, but their whole plan right now is to flood the area with nonstop shit so that we can't really dial in on any one thing.

I've created an account and repo to outsource the work a little bit. Please feel free to interact and help out:

~~For some reason this is throwing a 404 when you go to it. Hopefully this goes away soon, likely because I only just created the account.~~

Problem has been resolved

Mods, please let me know if this breaks rule 1, it's technically my site but I get nothing from it. There's no ads, JavaScript, or tracking analytics, just a straight up html page. My hope is to simply have a place that shares facts.

I've been keeping my pebble 2 alive for a very long time. New battery a few months ago, rewiring the vibrator motor due to the wire breaking at the solder point, new 3d printed buttons.

It's been working great for a very long time. Today, the motor itself is dead, resoldering it yielded no joy.

I think I need to retire this watch. I've asked my brother if I could buy one of his (he backed all the kickstarters) that isn't working any more. I'll replace the battery in it, and get it working again.

It's so sad that these aren't made any more. No significant changes or updates in what, like 7 years, and it still functions nearly perfectly. I wish so badly that someone would pick up where they left off and manufacture some more.

 

Super weird, noticed it today on his right foreleg just above the elbow joint. Feels like there's something underneath, and had this chunky white protrusion. Can't find an exact match via Google. Expecting some sort of cyst or maybe a blocked gland?
