While I highly disagree with the concept of turning the office of president into even more of a joke by purposefully electing more celebrities, someone like Nick Offerman or Robert Downey Jr. Would easily be able to defeat just about any Republican candidate just on popularity alone.
The suffering is the point. It's got nothing to do with morals or human rights or the death penalty or abortion or "Christian values". It's all about making "those people" suffer.
Haha, LOL, I totally get it, but can someone explain it to my friend? He doesn't get it.
So you'd normally say "that's too much!" in which case the subject "that" is plural and countable so therefore "much" would be correct.
Otherwise you should say "you have given me too many refried beans!" since the beans are volumetric and not countable entities.
It's been a while since I've done long exposure photography and composites, but my recollection is that excessive noise is a symptom of long exposure and high ISO, and stacking multiple shorter exposures into a composite will significantly reduce the noise of the final photo.
To trick you.
Now if the question had been something like:
the boy starts out running at a speed of 5ft/s then slows to 2.5ft/s over the next 5 seconds...
Then you'd need differential equations or whatever the class is, and you'd have to use more than just basic trig, but as written, it's just basic trig and the time is irrelevant.
I mean, I'm a guy, I generally just leave the seat down 99% of the time and pee without lifting it. If there's any drips or splashes I'll just wipe it up. But every time I go in to poo or pee sitting down at night I always just check to make sure the toilet is how I want it. There's no reason not to just give it a quick check.
Are these women just... How to say this delicately... Dumb? Like you walk into the bathroom facing the toilet. You can't help but see it. Are you telling me they drop their pants and just do a trust fall onto the rim? I'm guessing no. I think it's a meme and women just don't want to have to put the lid up before going.
Same in VA, but if you buy a 6 pack to go, you cannot crack one open if you decide to stay, it may only be consumed off-site. Some won't even give you the beer until you have already closed your tab and are on the way out.
I mean, I'm sure there's a statistic that someone can look up but as many people as are on the planet, I feel like there would always be someone within shouting distance if not closer. I guess it really depends on how fast the earth is moving and what the frame of reference is.
Similarly, ranch powdered baked pork chops are super delicious. Get the thin sliced ones if you can find them
Simple to produce, and electric motors don't have the same inefficiencies as a huge diesel engine does
I really doubt this info. Sake is popular in Japan and would be (or should be) categorized under wine, yet wine is at zero in southeast Asia. So either wine literally means "grape wine" or the data is fucked up.
What does this mean? Mavic Yksion elite guard tires. Are they on backwards?
Basically title, this symbol is on the tires of my new (to me) CAAD12. Are the tires on backwards? The right side of the picture is the front of the bike, the left side is the rear. This is the front tire. Another picture below showing which way the tread is facing. The tread "looks" right, it appears it would channel water away from the center correctly.
Does anyone recognize this shoe style and know where to get a new pair?
I got the when travelling abroad for work in Morocco. I paid about 20 USD for them from a street vendor.

Cleaning light colored keycaps
Basically title: What is the preferred or most efficient way of cleaning light colored key caps?
I'm guessing that putting the whole keyboard in the dishwasher is probably out.
Do you all just pull all the keys and clean them with a towel or something in a mild soap solution?
This would give me a good chance to be disgusted by all the hair and junk that accumulates between the keys too, so there's that.
Thanks for the help, and sorry for the newbie question, but someone's gotta ask them.
Favorite mods for BeamNG?
Mine has got to be the Wydra Boat mod. But mainly because it's fairly broken as is. I spent so much time tinkering with it to get it working better but now it'll do around 40mph on flat water.
I changed the way the prop works so it doesn't stall every time you switch from D to R, I gave it a Neutral gear, I tweaked the values in the "torque converter" to get it to behave more like a real outboard motor would, and I slapped on a turbo for MOAR POWARRRR.
I also shrunk the size of the outriggers (flexbody and JBeam) since they were creating too much drag and slowing me down.
Future ideas? Add the main engine back in and attach the outboard with the trailer hitch slot allowing amphibious travel.
Anyway what are your favorite mods?
Father's Day shot
Also, I didn't realize how grungy the underside of my espresso machine looked! Going to have to do something about that.
Grinder woes, or, listen to the complaints of a lazy cheap bastard.
Let's start with the obvious answers, "Just weigh the dang beans", "Just get the single dose hopper", "Just clean more often", and my personal favorite, "Just spend more money".
Now that that's out of the way...
I'm tired of fiddling with my grinder. I started my espresso journey with a cheap steam unit and a whirly blade grinder. The grinder was quickly replaced with an Encore, and the steam toy was replaced with a second hand Gaggia Classic.
After a few years I realized I hated weighing beans every day, and realized that the steps on the encore were too big to truly get the most of my espresso setup so I bought a Sette 270i.
For about a year it worked admirably. I rarely cleaned it, but it never seemed to falter.
However as the 2nd year passed and now the 3rd year is waning, the grinder is becoming more and more finicky.
I should explain that in my mind, the entire point of buying the Sette over the Vario or any of the other stepless grinders on the market was the time based grinding.
I'll always remember when I first got it, I got 18g out in 5.85 seconds.
Slowly it crept up to the 6.5-7 second range but I figure that was normal.
But now in the 3rd year it's taking 10.5 seconds to get approximately 18g out.
Why approximately? Well sometimes it's 16. Sometimes 20. Other days 17.4. Very rarely do I actually get 18.0 grams out.
There doesn't seem to be any trend or logic to it, but whenever it starts to drop down to 16 regularly I figure it's about time to clean it, so I remove the hopper and lower burr and give it a good scrub with the included brush.
The lower burr is never really what you'd call dirty, but it makes me feel like I've done something I guess. Plus, that is always the first thing anyone says to do when you say you are having grinder troubles. Gotta clean it out!
I called Baratza support and they recommended using a lighter roast.
As expected, that shortened the time to get approximately 18g out, but the inconsistency didn't improve, and I was reminded why I don't really like light roasts for espresso.
What beans am I using? Why not use what I used when I first got the grinder? I am. They are from a local roaster, same beans I've been using from the same guy for 8-10 years now. Fresh roasted, I'd call them medium - medium/dark, and $10/lb. No, not $10/12oz bag. Pound. 16 full ounces. And $10 cash. But anyway, the guy is like 80 years old, been roasting coffee in the same building for 60 years or something, I figure he knows what he is doing.
I call back Baratza. They offer to send me a free single dose hopper and recommend I weigh the beans.
No.
Also, what about the inconsistency?
You see, if on one of those days where I only get 16g out, I continue grinding until there is 18g in the portafilter, the espresso machine nearly acts as if I have installed a blank disc. Instead of a shot taking 30ish seconds to pull it may be 50-60 seconds or more. Clearly something else is going on.
Baratza support: "Oh, well when that happens it's because the coffee is getting stuck in the chute and getting reground until it is much finer than normal, you should clean it more often, here watch this video on how to clean"
Me: ಠ_ಠ
Anyway.
I don't want to spend $3000 on a Mahlkonig, and I'm just too skeptical about time-based grinding at this point and too cheap to spend $800 just to try out a Eureka Mignon and hope it's better, so I guess I'll just keep cleaning my Sette unless anyone has a different suggestion.
And thank you for reading all this.
Repetitive banding issue
Hey all, so this is the biggest thing I've tried to print. I'm using PETG. I'm getting a lot of repetitive bands of underextrusion that seem to stack up and get worse as the print progresses.
What do you think is causing this? Is this just an inherent thing in the way an Ender 3 works by moving the bed?
Sorting / viewing suggestion
Is it possible to have Lemmy only refresh posts when asked? Currently if you sort by "Hot" or "New" it's almost unusable due to the "real time" nature of the website. It would be nice to have maybe a toggle to enable this behavior or maybe have a refresh button at the top / bottom.
