In all fairness I am just a massive DR hater 😈

There was never going to be a clean exit from Afghanistan from the moment the US decided to try to nation build there.

People wanted blood after 9/11, and if we were honest with ourselves about who we really are as a country, after Bin Laden got away in Tora Bora we would've leveled Kabul and called it a day, for all the difference it ultimately ended up making. Not saying it would've been right, but it would've accomplished the exact same thing as what 20 years of occupation did, arguably with less blowback, and it could've been done without dragging the rest of our allies into it, but gotta keep up appearances.

Honestly, I think the left needs to lean into shit like this post. Just loudly pretend Biden is the best president ever and should be unanimously elected god-emperor of the earth for life. We can have the real adult discussion when some jurisdiction finally smacks Trump with something that'll bar him from office (or he kicks the bucket) and enough of the boomers have died off that the Republican party can't win purely by catering to the most deranged of them. Or at least wait until 2028 when we have Democrat primary.

I don't think that people are dumb, but most are too distracted, tired and disengaged to see "vote as harm reduction" as meaningful motivation to vote for someone. Nuance does not make for good propaganda, and while propaganda is distasteful, it's necessary.

Even if you're of the opinion that the only way to effect meaningful change is through violent revolution, the far left in this country does not have and is not in a position to co-opt the infrastructure necessary to do that, nor the widespread political support.

Whoosh

Its disgustingly tragic and sad that there ain't taijin on any of them fruit cups.

Everything I've gotten as a flatpak has been borked in one way or another. I only use it if there is literally no other option available.

At the same time, you're probably not drinking 3+ cups a day. There's a reason you have a spit cup when cupping coffee.

The struggle of loving coffee and being a very caffeine sensitive insomniac is real.

The switch would be something like this. I think differential pressure between the inside of the duct and your kitchen would work.

and any "normally closed" damper would work. Wired up such that when your range hood is switched on, it also switches the motor in the damper on so that it opens.

I was operating off of the (now shown to be correct) assumption that they would sell out anyway because he has enough braindead followers to buy up the limited quantity of sneakers, and/or the whole thing is a scam to bypass some campaign finance law or another, and the actual impact of the decisiontof an individual to buy them would be negligible.

Ultimately everyone needs to make their own decision as to what they're willing to spend. There are inflection points in price where you can get a lot more for a relatively small amount of additional money, if you do your research.

Personally, if I were getting into it now, and I were already a daily coffee drinker, I'd go straight to the DF54.
