Only when Israel is the perpetrator. This is the NYT, but the BBC does the same thing.

At a glance, you should be able to add whatever batter you have left to a batch of corn bread/muffins.

That extends beyond just terminal but completely agree that their stock experience is... not great.

As a dumb American, I am a little conflicted by the premise.

Many European countries are much older than the USA and I presume they are more homogeneous in terms of population. Yet constitutions in Europe are either newer that the US constitution or they're treated with much less deferance (eg they're free game for modifications).

I admit to having spent very little time thinking about this, but I wonder if the US is stuck in a self selection loop? People drawn towards rugged individualism, which is a large component of the "American Dream" come here and perpetuate the cycle.

also taking away AA resources from israel

This part I am pretty OK with TBH. The Iron Dome is part of the reason why Israel does what it does while essentially saying, "what are you going to do about it?".

Liberal at the time? Sure. These days it seems more like libertarian values. Rugged individualism does not make for a very collective society.

Let me assure you this is already happening.

Scrolled way too far to find this. Depending on how well traveled OP is their grandpa might be saying, "there's tons of cool stuff much closer to home, why not check that out first?"

Thank you for the link and taking the time to reply. I am genuinely surprised this is the case as towing is usually covered under warranty, if necessary, and this would put Honda in the position of having to cover damage caused by the tow.

I am not trying to prove your wrong / there are no awards for arguing on the internet.

I'm just super surprised that they wouldn't be included as towing a modern vehicle without one is very difficulty due to fascias being a ton lower to the ground than they used to be. Even if you can reach a solid under vehicle tow point, putting tension on whatever you attached to means the fascia will probably be in the way. Tthink loose rope on ground vs taught rope cutting through the fascia.

 

Well, almost. I didn't give myself enough tolerance in the cutout for the speaker and it doesn't fit well. On to v1.01!

 

It will be a 240x280x70ish speaker stand. The first go ground with it flat and support free resulted in warping despite a 60°C chamber, so I stood it on its end, cut print speed by a third, and added the breaks to reduce stress.

This will take a while...

Note that the bottom has a chmafer, so although there's a shadow it's not warping.

 

I turned the grow lights on early this year to grow some potatoes, which I'm sure is a totally a great use of energy. I'm really hoping to grow another round of starts after not having a very good year this year due to keeping our potatos in smaller pots and us not getting a ton of rain. Next year I'll put them in a much larger planter.

I'm also trying to get some cherry pits to seed. I collected the cherries, which were delicious, from a tree in our neighborhood. I'm betting the mother tree isn't a graft given its location and age. If any of you have any tips, I'm all ears. The pits are now a year old and spent the time in dry dirt on this table.

 

Title basically.

One of my windows computers, which happens to be the one I happen to do the most CAD work on, can't upgrade to windows 11 due to having an Ivy Bridge era Xenon (it's an E5-1680 v2 for the curious, older used workstations are fantastic bang for the buck computers).

Switching to Linux on this computer has been in the cards for a while, but I hadn't been in a hurry to do it. Looks like my hand might be getting forced...

 
 
 

The coaster is shivering timbers at Michigan's adventure.

 
 

At least the Canadian wildfires are good for softer light. It's very surreal having a cloud free sunny day without the sun actually being that intense.

 

The scene smelled delicious!

 

We saw a pretty good amount of them in our yard this June. It was nice. I can't remember seeing many lightning bugs for years.

 

I'm going to have to track down a macro lens for my camera body after selling the micro four thirds kit I was using for bees last year.
