95·2 days agoOn his podcast, Job Favreau (the former Obama speechwriter) revealed that he was mistakenly invited to the event because they thought he was Jon Favreau the actor. They didn’t realize their mistake until he submitted his ID for a background check. Lol

14·2 days agoThe Sonic & Knuckles “adapter” was made to have Sonic 2 and 3 cartridges plug into it. It allowed adding knuckles to 2 and created an expanded version of 3 which completed the story. The 32X is an adapter that upgraded the 16 bit console to play 32 bit games. The side of the Sega console had a slot where a Sega CD (cd-rom drive) could plug in. Apparently the Sonic & Knuckles cartridge fits into it, or at least appears to.
So rent a boat and scuba gear and putter around the coast of Florida for a few days.
Buying groceries with cash is nice and all, but you will never put a dent in that much money doing it that way.
It’s a lot harder to explain bundles of cash. Remove any identifying marking on the gold and claim it as marine salvage.

News@lemmy.world•House approves war powers resolution to halt military action against Iran, in a rebuke of Trump
95·4 days agoThe way it’s always worked is the president can’t unilaterally declare war. Let’s not pretend we are still bound by precedent or rules anymore.
The Dalai Lama goes up to a hot dog vendor and says make me one with everything.
Edit: The Dalai Lama pays for the hot dog with a $20 bill, but the vendor doesn’t give him any money back. The Lama asks for his change. The vendor says change must come from within.
How many impressionists does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Two. One to paint the giraffe blue and the other to fill the bath tub with ping pong balls.
To me it all depends if the hobby is about the prints or the printer. If you just want to make stuff with minimal tinkering and effort, Bambu is what you want. If you want to customize, tweak, optimize, etc, then Prusa or Elegoo are both solid choices.

https://www.anarchistnews.org/content/it-fascism-now
Italian anarchists tried to organize a united front of the left and the unions to resist the Fascists physically, but the Socialist and Communist parties would not agree. A decade later, Leon Trotsky similarly urged the German Socialists and Communists to cooperate in combatting the Nazi Storm Troopers, with a similar lack of action by the Social Democrats and Stalinists.
Similar things happened in Spain. Either accept Democrats as allies against fascism, or enable fascism. Those are the only choices.
There are strong arguments he is 10 for 10

1·10 days agoThe only thing that enables fascism is infighting among non-fascists. Instead of pointing fingers at everyone else, look in the mirror. Your politics vs my politics are irrelevant. All that matters is beating fascism.

18·10 days agoIt’s exactly the same with Hillbilly Elegy and JD Vance. He hates the same system that got him to where he is. He needs to believe that he was a special snowflake and that he succeeded through his own superiority.

Many places also use the US military as a deterrent in lieu of having their own defense. Poland just requested a large US base to deter Russian invasion. South Korea would certainly be in trouble if we left.
