  1. There's some excellent rhetorical conversation with the Obi-Wan show too imo. Both Ahsoka and Obi-Wan were able to break through the shell of Vader and SEE Anakin beneath, but he rejected them. It wasn't until his son Luke appealed to his inner good that he fully took the mask off
  2. As if you needed another reason to kick tapa to the curb
  3. I gotta say, your commitment to the bit is impressive. I have no idea why Trump would suddenly do an about-face You're right. It's probably all just """pErFoRmAtIvE cRaP"""
  4. Like loud ass fucking sirens that don't rely on silent notifications to camp watch standers. Make sure EVERYONE gets the danger signal, not just a designated adult
  5. This is 100% Rex to completely miss what Troph is saying and frame it as "I'm glad they're dead" and not the "people with power were affected so change will probably happen". Classic shithead troll move.
  6. It's funny when people just blanket say "CR post" without clarifying what it is. Do you mean the "CR posts" about how all the posters who were foaming at the mouth in the Epstein thread about PEDOS are mysteriously quiet and introspective all of a sudden? Or the "CR posts" about our state's refusal to plan for emergencies that led to the deaths of hundreds of Texans on the 4th of July?
  7. I won't believe it until I see Guadaloopy defending it
  8. There's about to be a LOT of food waste and spoiled crops from arresting and deporting everyone who was working the fields

    3D Printing

    I just realized I never got back to you, I would focus on the dimensions that "bound" the geometry you care about. So like for the ladle, I would get the diameter and length of the straight section and then the length, width, and depth of the spoon section. If you use tracing techniques with your design, you basically just drop in a picture of the thing, trace/sketch it, and then add your critical dimensions back as constraints to your sketch to ensure it's correct where it matters, and good enough everywhere else. I haven't tried any food safe resins, but it's an available product that's used for sealing counters and food service uses. If you FDM print something, you can make it "food safe" with a thin resin coat to fill in the gaps and nooks and crannies. What sort of printer/materials do you use?
  10. congrats, you've built a Generative Adversarial Network! The architecture is already pretty effectively for building extremely narrow subject matter expertise, but it's hideously expensive for even a toy-size model
  11. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/us-aware-reported-death-american-after-beating-by-israeli-settlers-2025-07-12/ RAMALLAH, West Bank, July 11 (Reuters) - A Palestinian American man was beaten to death by settlers in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and a second man was shot dead, the Palestinian Health Ministry said in a statement, in a confrontation overnight. U.S. citizen Sayafollah Musallet, 20, also known as Saif, was severely beaten in the incident on Friday evening in Sinjil, north of Ramallah, the ministry said. Hussein Al-Shalabi, 23 was shot in the chest. Musallet's family, from Tampa Florida, said in a statement that medics tried to reach him for three hours before his brother managed to carry him to an ambulance, but that he died before reaching the hospital. "This is an unimaginable nightmare and injustice that no family should ever have to face. We demand the U.S. State Department lead an immediate investigation and hold the Israeli settlers who killed Saif accountable for their crimes," the family statement said.
  12. It's literally a Republican platform position now. There's a reason Johnny Sack has been so ecstatic
  13. Trumps July 4th post literally said he wanted use "REMIGRATION" to maga. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remigration Remigration is a far-right European concept of ethnic cleansing[1] via the mass deportation of non-white immigrants and their descendants, usually including those born in Europe, to their place of racial ancestry.

  15. you seem to be forgetting that no warning whatsoever seems to have reached the camp or town until at least 5AM on July 4th. Fuck talking about voting records, I would like to know if the ball was dropped or if everything went to plan. Because that's a pretty important distinction and thing to know.
  16. Ok yeah, the county approving the additional cabins to be built IN THE FLOODWAY in the 2019 expansion is a problem. Mystic and their insurers are going to have a bad time in litigation with that fact
  17. Thank you for posting a good source on this - I've read it in commentary but hadn't had a good visual from a trustworthy source to show it. That's going to be a big problem for Mystic that they had camper cabins in the floodway of the most dangerous flooding alley in America. I do think the ultimate failure is in no warnings or word (seemingly) reaching the camp, since nobody else got a warning until it was too late too. I really hope that different decisions will be made this time around to prioritize safety.
  18. Strong stuff from this writer, makes a very good case for Roberts being a worse Chief Justice than even Taney or Fuller https://www.publicnotice.co/p/john-roberts-worst-chief-justice-of-all-time closing paragraphs are basically the thesis
  19. From everything we've seen so far, the county wasn't even sending out weather alerts to just their local residents until 5AM through their codeRED alerting system (per NYT reporting and ABC reporting), and many resident didn't actually recieve the flood alert until 10AM on July 4. I really do fear that the campers, counselors, and camp are victims of the state and local leadership's negligence.
  20. "land owner wants cheap labor to do his hard work for his farm, news at 11" I'll bet he's first in line requesting slave prisoner workers
  21. Yeah yeah yeah delays to getting notices and resources out there. BUT BAW GAWD THERES A BLUE ALERT 200 MILES AWAY!!! Really really wonderful reminder of the states priorities
  22. It really has had more than it's fair share of gremlins https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/boeing-investigates-quality-problem-undelivered-787s-sources-say-rcna157034 This is just one of the more recent quality control issues with the airframe production
  23. On that note, at least suppressors may finally come off the NFA. It would make range trips and hunting much more pleasant
  24. You are doing the exact same schtick as the mayor of Kerrville is by shaking your finger and say "SHAME ON YOU" to shout down anyone you see as opposition and smaller than you. But its your board, so ultimately you're right and I'm wrong and we're gonna do it your way.
