Bomb makers don’t typically suicide run with their own bombs. They get some poor brainwashed chump to do it for them.

This is why I don’t use my real name on the internet, nor do I post selfies.

Computers need to be relatively cool to function properly.

Dust acts as a heat insulator, trapping heat inside.

Dust also clogs the cooling fans from doing their job.

Most computers have built-in features that auto throttle or even self shut-down if the heat gets too high.

More dust = more heat = more speed throttling & shutdowns.

My future career as a welder. I’m currently in a paid apprenticeship and I’m stuck on the final qualification before graduation. Everything else was easy, but the copper-nickel to mild steel test keeps failing. I’m on my forth and final test attempt.

If I fail, there’s a real possibility I’ll be fired. It would be foolish of them to fire me as they’ve already invested a considerable amount of time, money, and training on me. But I don’t know if they’ll see reason, so I’m getting my resume ready for another job.

It shouldn’t be hard to find another job, this current one has already given me four years of on-the-job apprentice training experience. I just don’t want to leave this current job as I like it here.

I guess it depends on what you intend to donwith the laptop as they’re not all built the same.

It depends on what I’m shopping for and what I intend to do with it. For clothing, since I work long hours as a welder, I buy cheap 100% cotton long sleeve shirts at thrift stores. They’re all going to get burned up over time, so their design, color, and/or logo doesn’t matter in the slightest. Cheap and disposable is the goal there.

Sometimes I’ll shop at thrift stores for specific types of electronics or metals not for what their intended function is, but rather for what I can turn it into or use it for. I once bought a thin wall steel pot, cut it up, flattened it out, and I now cut pieces off to fix other things.

The last thing I fixed with it was a gash in a dryer drum. I cut the damaged section of the drum out, drew an outline on the flattened steel pot, cut it out, rolled it a little, and TIG welded it into the missing section of the drum.

Yup, that’s why I’m here and not on reddit anymore. Got perma-banned for speaking against the genocide in Gaza.

Do you have a source for such a bold claim?

As a matter of fact, I do.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.huffpost.com/entry/kamala-harris-has-to-answer-for-not-prosecuting-steve_b_5980d18ee4b09d231a518205/amp

Steve Mnuchin and OneWest Bank were, according to a memo obtained and reported on by The Intercept, guilty of “widespread misconduct” in the form of over 1,000 legal violations. The memo was the result of a year-long investigation and it asserts that OneWest Bank operated to intentionally boost foreclosures. The Campaign for Accountability called for a federal investigation of Mnuchin and OneWest Bank claiming they used “potentially illegal tactics to foreclose on as many as 80,000 California homes.”

Yet despite internal memos explicitly mentioning numerous prosecutable offenses by Mnuchin and co., then California Attorney General Kamala Harris refused to prosecute.

She’s never given an explanation for her decision and Mnuchin later donated $2,000.00 to Harris’ campaign. It was his only donation to a democratic candidate.

Will I vote for her if she’s the Democrat nominee for president? Yes, I think this election is far too important to abstain from voting. Is Harris a flawed candidate with a sketchy past? Also yes.

Kamala has the charisma of a potato, so it’s not yet clear how well she’ll do. She has a few sketchy things in her past as the former California attorney general which will likely come up (taking bribes to drop serious charges).

Yeah, a lot of us don’t do identity politics. I don’t care if they’re a man or woman or whatever. It could be a sentient ham sandwich for all I care.

What matters is their record and their willingness to fix things.

A Republican man respecting a woman? Unrealistic.

Auto misspeller strikes again.

Weight distribution and jiggle control is something I can’t relate to though

Well, you can try a little experiment in the privacy of your home. Take two water balloons about the size of softballs and tape them to your chest. Spend the whole day wearing them around the house.

It’ll quickly become something you can relate to 😀

I have 38C and I wear a bra for a variety of reasons. It does help with support, they weigh a lot and having them bounce freely hurts. It’s like having two large water balloons taped to your chest. Every slight bump or jolt pulls on the skin.

It also helps with sweating. Underwood sweat is a real thing and just as uncomfortable as armpit sweat or thigh rub sweat. A bra helps to absorb sweat and moisture under there.

A bra also acts a a sort of “armor.” My breast’s are rather sensitive, and rubbing against my shirt or other stuff can be painful. Having a bra layer protects them from chaffing and rubbing.

There’s also a bit of vanity to it, depending on type and style of bra. Some are utilitarian and functional only, some are stylish, and some are designed to show off in low cut blouses.

Personally, most of my bras are entirely function and utility as I work as a welder. I’m covered head to toe in safety gear, so wearing a pretty or revealing bra just isn’t practical.

Playing FFXIV. I’m not really enjoying the Dawntrail story, but I’m only about a third of the way through it. I’m hoping it’ll pick up.

I also finished a playthrough of Baldur’s Gate 3 as a dark urge devotion paladin who didn’t break oath or give in to the urges.

On occasion, I’ll play a bit of Space Engineers if I need some mindless gameplay.

Where are you getting this from?

Conservatives are typically motivated by anger and fear. They tend to be less educated and more superstitious. They can be easily swayed by appeals to their religious beliefs.

Those motivated by anger and fear are far more easily tricked and manipulated by others with nefarious intent. They can even be deceived into going against their own interests, as evident by Republican politicians and their opposition to democracy and freedom.

Liberals are typically motivated by humanism and live-and-let-live philosophy. They tend to be more educated and less superstitious.

Democrat politicians have a much harder time trying to browbeat liberal voters to do their will. They’re conflicted as they lose voters if they obey their rich donors, and they lose rich donors if they obey their voters.
