That one’s weird though, because they cherry pick the parts they like. So it’s a weird Baptist/catholic/born again bullshit.

My attitude has definitely evolved and imo improved in the decades between 20 and 40.
Lots of events and just time can contribute to it. But if you’ve joined a community that’s telling you it can’t get better, you might not be able to work on making it better, or even end up in situations that might change you for the better.

Chives grow like weeds and whenever you need some just go out in the yard with scissors and give them a haircut. They grow back in a week or two, unless they’re under a foot or two of snow 6 months of the year. Which is where my farming desires end.

Saudi Arabia? That’s where most of them came from.
I agree that the West fucked up the Middle East ( though the Soviets didn’t help either).

Webrings, RSS and dedicated blogs and forums were how we got around, Alta Vista would give you 1-2 relevant links eventually (after digging thing keyword spam) and then you’d follow the clues and links from each result and eventually strike gold. It was a skill that gate kept certain areas of the web, but in a good way.
But google was pretty awesome before it enshitification, same with Reddit and instagram (pre Facebook takeover).
We need a good non-profit search engine that can re-open the independent web that’s still there under the spam somewhere. But it sounds about as likely as overhauling the us election system, or reigning in capitalism in any way. Hard and expensive to rich people.

The error correction isn’t enough to overcome a bad background?
My memories of the early days of designing these things for ad clients (we’re talking 2010-11) were that like 20% “damage” was allowed before scanning became difficult. So of course my art director wanted to put cutesy shit all over them to be “unique”.
I just didn’t want the client to ask when it didn’t work because their phones didn’t like them.

There is no vessel in the known universe I would weld for any amount.

- Comment on Anon takes the welding pill 1 month ago:
I’d love a PAPR system, but I’m mostly just plug welding body panels on project cars once in a while. I spent a little extra on the welding machine (buy once cry once), but it’s still 1/2 the price of a PAPR.
They look super nice for switching between welding and grinding though. If I was doing it more than a couple hours a week (if that) I’d start saving for one for sure.

I think it splits hydrogen off of water molecules too, so if it’s at all humid in there, it might be explosive too.

Just looked it up and N95-P100 masks/respirators cover most exposure that welding should create. I’m a hobbyist welder, but wear a P100 respirator 95% if the time (100% indoors).
From NIOSH:
RESPIRATOR RECOMMENDATIONS

I wear a respirator while welding, but it’s only really a hobby for me so far. But now I’m curious which filters actually catch manganese, I’m usually worried about accounting zinc (on galvanized steel), because it can make you ill for a couple days, unless you drink a glass of safety milk.

No chillitos in all of New England either, gotta go to NYC for the closest, then Ohio or NC.
I was in Cadillac MI last summer, regrettably ate at a Taco Bell, and didn’t even know I could have gotten one! It was the first run to the border I’d made in years too!
Sat up all night in a wind storm with cramps afterwards. 0/10
