Useful idiot
  • "Progressives" with enough privilege that they think that if it comes down to it, they can always bend the knee to avoid the wall.

    These people tend to be rabidly accelerationist, cause it's not their lives and livelihoods on the line.

    This line of thinking allows you to be an ideological purist and denounce any incrementalism or harm reduction as antithetical to the cause, stirring up infighting.

    It also happens to be an excellent strategy outlined in the CIA's saboteur handbook. (Literally, Google it, download the PDF from CIA.gov)

  • If it's not literally hunting minorities for sport, it's woke now
  • Worse.

    "Vulgar sense of entitlement" - you think you deserve more than I think you do and it is viscerally disgusting to me.

    In context - "You think we shouldn't be able to coup your government/group because we don't know better what you need than you do and that viscerally disgusts me."

    ETA: the "woke" bit is fun too because it adds a layer of racism to this seven layer shit salad.

  • What did people do before smartphones to pass the time when you were bored?
  • Threw rocks at stuff.

    Trains, signs, each other,

    Peed off of tall stuff.

    Ride bikes.

    Try to build ramps for the bikes.

    Crash the bikes.

    Ask your mom for a popsicle cause you have a fat lip now from hitting your face on your bikes handlebars.

    Generally dumb things.

    Freak out cause the kid s few doors down got his hands on some dry ice.

    But the dry ice in bottles.

    Run away when that nosy old lady calls the police cause people are "making bombs"

  • the tool bear
  • We should all be so lucky! Harbor Freight is where all my "Tryout" tools come from. If I break a Harbor Freight tool, then I spend the money on a real one. I've found some decent ones that way.

  • Such a pain in the sas
  • "Where does this green wire go?"

    I appreciate HW engineers and techs. I'm not afraid of datasheets, circuit diagrams, or a mso and they're always patient enough to explain things to me so I can make the rocks behave. Or at least tell me how to go from diagram to board lol.

  • Such a pain in the sas
  • "the serial output from my test unit turns into garbage and it happens at completely random times!"

    "Did you make sure they were plugged in all the way?"

    "WHAT?!?! ARE YOU SUGGESTING I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING?!?!"

    Some time later

    "Yeah, it turned out to be the serial connection was loose."

  • <p>Some Tiny Hats!</p>

    Just wanted to share a little success, after some wrangling I've finally got an M600 macro working on Klipper. I've been trying to print some ornaments for my holiday tree (a Christmas tree that I'm never taking down). These turned out pretty great!

    (Ignore the wago connectors, they're "temporary")

    ETA:

    I used all Voxel PLA and found the model on printables. Sliced with Prusaslicer and just added the color changes at the appropriate layers.

    Updated Guidelines for Groundwater contaminants take effect in 5 Days

    36 contaminants have been added or updated on the "Human Health Based Water Guidance Table"

    It's a list of chemicals that could be in your water and the health effects that the state department of health has determined are possible based on different exposure levels.

    The actual usage of these guidelines only appear to be for state legislation, but if you're a well water user or a concerned city water user, this data might be of interest to you.

    17 are new, 19 have updated guidelines

    A Million Minnesota Q's

    Hello Minnesotans,

    In about a month I'll be joining your ranks. I'm buying a house just outside of St Cloud. It's not my first pick in terms of politics from what I've read, but the state laws are far better for my family than where we live now.

    Aside from the fact that we're moving in November, which is one of my more brilliant strokes, to be sure, I'm very excited for this change.

    I'm looking for any and all of your Minnesota advice.

    I've got a pretty big family, gaggle of kids (from 2nd grade to sophomore in high school), a few dogs, and ambitions on some waterfowl next year maybe.

    I'm not afraid of driving in snow, I grew up in MO, we got our share of snow, so I know that often judicious throttle control is better than frantic braking. However, I've never dealt with snow on that scale that sticks for that long. I think we're going from an average annual snowfall of 12ish inches to 40-something annual inches of snow.

    Will a self-propelled two stage snowblower kill me on a couple hundred feet of driveway?

    Do I really need to scrape the snow off my roof?

    How do I help the dogs with the cold? (Do dog boots and coats actually work?)

    Got any recommendations for cold weather clothes? (I know we need layers, I'm already a fan of wool, but I need some advice on sourcing stuff that my kids will want to wear)

    I love gardening, how much more time will a greenhouse give me in terms of growing season?

    How the heck do I make Minnesota friends? I'm not a church person, so I expect this to be difficult for me.

    DMV advice?

    Best restaurants to visit?

    Our family has spent the last year grieving and trying to process what has often felt like some kind of absurd unreality. I want to make this transition as positive as I can.

    You don't get to pick where you're born, but you do (to some extent at least) get to pick where you live. We picked Minnesota because of the people, the land, and even the weather.

    Sorry for being a stereotype, but I really don't know how else to ask aside from the non-stop googling and YouTube I'm already doing.

    TL;DR:

    Yet another "I'm moving to Minnesota, help me!" Post.

    Edit: You all have given me some great ideas and places to start! Thank you so much!

    I'm really excited to start this new chapter and you all have helped relieve some of my worries about being buried alive in snow at least :)
