Case closed, boys

I’ve never seen the movie. Is the Chihuahua, by chance, from Beverly Hills?

Slightly off topic, but it just dawned on me that the youngest generation might not have as universal of a childhood compared to some before.

Like, everyone in school knew what SpongeBob was. Maybe you didn’t have a TV or you didn’t like watching it, but you knew the characters and the general gist of what happens in the show.

With kids on such giant platforms like YouTube, there’s so much variety, I wonder if the “brand recognition” will be as strong in 10 years.

That poor kid. I already was upset thinking about them having to see Mom get arrested. I didn’t even consider the fact that the youngest is probably blaming himself.

Did I miss anything?

Cops are usually chill and laid back, but they get tired of the monotony of their job sometimes and appreciate the use of erratic, unpredictable movement when interacting with them. They also like someone who is proactive, so instead of waiting for them to ask you for your licence and registration, just jump right out of your car as soon as they step out of theirs and pull your wallet out of your pocket as quickly as you can for them. You’ll never have an issue with the cops again after this.

We Americans are very paranoid about things we think are “too good to be true” (don’t know if that’s a phrase everywhere). This may be looking too deep into things, but I honestly think our country’s history of taking advantage of less informed peoples has influenced this - we know what happens when you take the bait, so it’s best to just accept the norm (ie paying your own metro fare) vs risk finding out what happens if they come back looking for what they “gave” you.

I actually sat and thought on this for a second. If someone walked up to me and tried to give me a $100 bill, I’d probably ask a few questions first, mainly, “what do you want?” If they seem genuine in that they just felt like being nice to someone (or even if I got the “social experiment” vibes), I’d probably take it, and ask if I could buy them something small with it (like, if this were outside the grocery store, ask if they wanted some snacks or a drink or something).

I think if I were in a group setting, someone approaching the group trying to give us a $100 bill would probably would be quickly closed out of the circle, and everyone would get quiet and look away until they left, at which point everyone would talk about that weird guy trying to sell us something.

I honestly love it when such profoundly misinformed statements are put forward with absolute authority like this.

a single history

You know that half the country went to war with the other half, right?

a single government

In California, you can order weed through an app and get it delivered to your front door. In Idaho, get pulled over after picking up for the month, you’re a felon.

a single language

Single official language sure. At my work I’m the only native English speaker and a majority of our customers are foreigners who speak little English.

This could vary depending on the situation, but as someone who works in healthcare in the US (pray for me), it doesn’t really matter if you’ve got proof of traveler’s insurance, unless I’m able to bill them directly and get a paid claim for it. In every case I’ve dealt with traveler’s insurance (admittedly not a ton, but these things are usually handled similarly across the industry), I’ve been instructed by the insuring company to bill the patient/ client, and that the client will be submitting a claim.

If it’s something relatively inexpensive like medication, you’ll probably be charged at the pharmacy, pay out of pocket and get reimbursed.

If, God forbid, you need to stay at a hospital, or dare to mention the word “ambulance”, you’ll be given a bill for $1 million, which you’ll forward to the insurance company. They’ll handle paying the hospital, then follow up with you on any kind of copay you’re meant to be left with.

That’s how I used to play guitar, too. I got a cheapo sound pedal with a bunch of effects and premade back beats. Try to play some songs that I know. Sound bad. Keep doing it until I get bored or it sounds kinda cool once. That’s enough for the week.

Am I ever gonna be anywhere close to decent? Nope. Do I care? Nope.

Oh yup. Just checked out their Instagram, this is definitely the best one but the other comics are a good start (looks like they only started doing comics earlier this year). I hope they keep the art style consistent, its hilarious.

Thankfully they only placed tariffs on covfefe imports.

Seems like people got your questions answered. Just wanna say that those machines (Prusas) are very nice, and not generally cheap, so even if it was a throwaway for someone make sure to get em a 12 pack or something! That’s an awesome gift!

I didn’t like that ☹️

I’ve been staring at it for a minute now but it’s still not clicking for me. I guess I’m not racist?

I was on All.

I didn’t mean that nobody at all would care. There’s just a tendency of US centrist-ism online where a lot of Americans assume that the rest of the world cares as much about what goes on here as we do. The idea that the whole world is watching the election closely, I feel, is an example of this, but of course I could be wrong.

Yeah, I’m sure that the whole world gives that much of a shit about us 🙄 at least I hope they’ve got something better to do. I know I do

Someone else mentioned gridfinity, that was my first thought too. You can probably find modules for all of the things you listed already made and ready to print.

Once you start with gridfinity, though, you will never stop.

1. You’re having an important argument with someone and you’re resorting to Reddit for an answer

2. You think having updoots on a Reddit thread matters in a real life argument

3. You want to manipulate an already trashy and biased mediation tool by artificially inflating your position

4. You openly ask for help in doing this with seemingly zero self awareness

If this is real (and I hope to God it’s just a shitpost) it’s insanely pathetic and abusive. You should not be dating.

Re: dry. I’m convinced PLA doesn’t care about moisture. Watched a video of a guy that soaked a roll in a tub of water overnight, then printed off the roll with it still in the tub. Looked exactly the same as it did before the soak.

Mileage may vary of course but ever since then I’ve been leaving my PLA out and it’s never once given me trouble (the infused ones a little bit).

I find that shaking my hands frustratedly while repeating the placeholder word at a higher frequency helps people understand what I’m trying to say to talk to me later
