Bondi’s been on the outs for a while now. They’re just throwing whatever blame at her to rationalize getting rid of her. People might think her eventual departure is good, and it is, but they’ll just put some other just as awful person in her place.

Can’t wait to see what conspiracies, rationalizations, and racism the MAGA sycophants come up with in support of Paul. If they don’t outright abandon him for losing. Maybe both.

Just release another random hundred pages of blacked out text with the appropriate headers. Would be the same as releasing the files, nobody would be able to tell the difference. Nothing of substance will be given to the public.

Exactly. When they start injecting ads for paid subscribers, fuck them…but fuck Spotify anyway for how little they pay artists.

I feel like there’s a bunch of choosing beggars in here. Grabbed a crapload of free games, games they didn’t pay for, and complaining about how they’re delivered.

Petty, childish, juvenile, mean, pathetic.

The equivalent of drawing a mustache on someone whom you dislike on their yearbook photo and expecting everyone to laugh at your work, too.

I’m more concerned with performative things like (hypothetically) making it ok to paint rainbow crosswalks vs. taxing billionaires or allowing ICE to go uncontrolled in the Boroughs.

(From the article)

This is the image they jailed him for.

This should be a slam dunk win for him. Blatant political retribution. The people who jailed him should be jailed, disbarred, fined, etc., the citizens shouldn’t have to pay the court award for their fascism.

And if they watch liberal or spanish-language programming.

Agreed. Sucks being a lib/progressive and being constantly disappointed in some way by your leadership. Meanwhile, the right sets everything on fire, including themselves, and parties like it’s 2099.

My income will be eaten up by: rent, rising utility costs, subscriptions, medical insurance, rising car/home/renter’s insurance costs, inflation, stagnation, grocery prices, and yeah, taxes. But at least I’ll probably get a tax refund. The rest goes to billionaires and “record profits.”

Wait until he starts making policy. Then see if you’re still thrilled. We’v been disappointed in the past.

But everything else he does is just fine.

I would check that the print bed is heating evenly. Everyone has mentioned cleaning, that’s definitely a good start, too. But it looks like bands where it’s not sticking. From the image’s perspective, about 1/3 up is a band of poor adhesion, and then at the far end of the plate. IDK how the heating elements are designed, but that could be a. Issue. Otherwise the build plate is warped in almost an “S” shape. Some leveling will help, but not fix a warped bed.

Also, the material deposition looks very thin in general. Make sure the z-step is set correctly, slow down the first layer print, and make sure the temperatures of the bed and hotend are right.

I have an older printer with a warped bed and basically brute force the adhesion with a slightly thicker base layer and then normal layers after that.

I’m sure they’ll snatch defeat from the jaws of victory again, or squander the opportunity to make real gains with any win.

I would have been surprised if a directionless, powerless in the shadow of his family, smug rich kid didn’t subscribe to some macho bullshit snake oil salesman offering him some feeling of legitimacy for being shitty. And of course the redpill carnival barker is going to latch on to the useless rich kid because of his family.

Always the nuclear option with them.

I think it can be. The problem is colleges and student loan businesses pushing the idea that (expensive student-loan available) college is necessary for a job.

Only certain jobs really need a degree, like medical, engineering, aviation, finance, etc. and probably in the arts it could be helpful, but anything that a proficiency that can be demonstrated with a certificate and/or skill like programming, welding, whatever… yeah. Degrees shouldn’t really be a thing.

College costs are ridiculous.

Student loans are extortionate.

The ROI on the investment is shitty. IOW you get an expensive degree for a job field that doesn’t pay enough to pay for the degree and living expenses.

There’s a big social media anti-college push. Don’t know whether that’s politically motivated/propaganda, just get rich being a tiktokker or something, or a combination of that and all of the above.

Ah, the 'ol 1984 “quintuple plus good.”
