They finally found the culprit for the shit state of the United State: It's all those pesky german young adults backpacking through the world and visiting Hawaii for like a few weeks or something!

“How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States?” Bukele said.

Followed by

The Trump administration, which claims he is a gang member, has admitted that Abrego Garcia, a married father of three who lives in Maryland, was deported due to an administrative error.

This story is so painful to read and follow, JFC

Bro it's a bipartisan issue, I ain't maga for calling out AIPAC. Trump is ALSO owned by Israel.

"Mostly stable". I've had my fair share of issues with Windows.

But one of the big benefit is that it is much easier to diagnose an issue on Windows, just by sheer volume of mainstream usage (IE users complaining about issues and seeking help online). Also, tech support won't turn you around because you are on Linux, an OS they straight up refuse to support.

I had the same outlook before switching to Arch Linux, but honestly gaming on Linux is actually the lesser of my hassle. I can genuinely just grab msi files or exe files for games and feed them to Steam to get them playing via Proton. There's only one (1!) game that I can't play, and I'm 99% certain it's a problem with my hardware, not my OS (Monster Hunter Wilds seems to hate my GPU and crash all the time). But even that was fixed with a mod (up until the latest update).

With that said, I've had a lot of hassle handling other things that are upstream of gaming so it's not like you're unreasonable in wanting an OS that is mostly stable. Then again, I made the decision to use Arch Linux, there's distros that are simpler afaik.

Kind of crazy how much noise people make on baseless claims of Trump being a Russian asset, but AIPAC is bragging in broad daylight about their control on US government.

C'est tellement tannant de voir l'attitude du gouvernement Legault vis-a-vis Montreal.

J'ai pas grand chose d'autre a dire... Il est peut-etre temps que j'appelle mon representant pour manifester mon degout.

Somewhat inconvenient but fun thought experiment

The branches I wanna work with are too long and needs too much material removed for drill to be a realist tool. I could try it out just to confirm that theory, I guess.

Had no idea those were a thing, I'll be reading up on them, thanks!

 

Hi woodworkers

I've recently picked up a few tools to get into artisanal woodwork, and I want to do 1 or 2 projects that entails hollowing out natural branches.

The "perfect" outcome would be something similar to bamboo shoot, which have a narrow edge and hollow center. I'm not really expecting to be able to do this by hand with millimetric accuracy, but it gives you an idea of what I'm aiming for.

I own a high-speed rotary tool that is "technically" able to carve wood, but the bits I own atm are more of a finish toolkit. I successfully used a sanding head to carve out some wood, but I don't think it's remotely optimal for projects any bigger than what I was working on.

So all this context leads to this question: What would be the optimal tool to efficiently hollow out a branch? I can't reliably use a drill, because there's no certainty that the branches I'll work with will be remotely straight, I'm guessing that a mill file could get me some mileage but it sounds like a last resort kind of tool.

I don't know man, the north Atlantic ocean isn't that arbitrary. I'm just saying that our population has been burned out worrying about super high level stuff that doesn't impact them as much as neighborhood activism.

I'm not accusing you of being a trumpist, but Trump literally called the US-Canada border an arbitrary line, so maybe try a different talking point for this topic?

I'm not in favor of this.

We don't need more super-national institution telling us what to do. I'm on board for good relations and for taking ideas from them, but we need to stop giving power to distant institutions that aren't truly invested in our success.
