Glad it worked out for you!

Runny concentrate is usually a lot more workable when it's cold. Have you tried putting it in a freezer for a bit?

"In seeking to protect his criminal enterprise, Ross also solicited the murder-for-hire of several individuals he believed posed a threat to that enterprise" (not word for word, but it's hard to copy and paste from a PDF on my phone) - https://www.justice.gov/sites/default/files/usao-sdny/legacy/2015/03/25/US%20v.%20Ross%20Ulbricht%20Indictment.pdf

Very against the grain of Republican norms to grant this pardon, but here we are.

My guess would be from cloned cuttings, but I don't know for certain.

I highly recommend Squad. It's a solid middle ground between Battlefield and ARMA. The community aspect behind it makes it great and communication is key to success.

The main win is banning a content recommendation algorithm that is influenced by the CCP. A secondary win is reducing consumption of short form content. A tertiary win is eliminating that God awful narrator voice.

There's no valid 1st amendment argument here. This doesn't ban American voices, that can continue to be shared on alternative platforms, it bans the CCP Government's propaganda inserting itself in American media consumption.

A win is a win

I'm not sure an outright ban is justified, nor necessary. Maybe disallow copyright on AI generated material? That'd be a step in the right direction at first glance. I'd like to hear any counters to this stance.

Interesting, I had ruled this out as likely because all 4 HDMI ports didn't pick up a signal, but I'll take a closer look at the board I pulled out.

About a month ago my neighbor left a nice looking TV out by the trash for bulk item pickup with a note saying, "not sure if this works, but free if you want it." Cosmetically the unit looked to be in good shape, but sure enough when I bring it inside to test, none of the HDMI ports would pick up a signal. I tried different HDMI cables and devices to double check. All of the TV menus would work and there was static on the cable channel, so I knew the pixels themselves were fine. I opened the unit up to find 3 separate circutboards inside, a main board (with the HDMI ports soldered on), a power board, and I think a timing board or something like that (forget the acronym I came across researching). Well I decided to roll the dice and replace the main board with a $130 purchase for a replacement, took about 30 minutes to swap out. Sure enough with a new main board the TV, HDMI units and all, worked perfectly. Now I'm up a 60" Sharp AQUOS TV (~$1500 new) for the price of the replacement board. More importantly, the satisfaction of plugging in an HDMI and seeing a signal come through was priceless. Support right to repair, we have an obligation to preserving and reusing the resources we have access to.

Censorship in this case would be banning short form videos, not a platform they can be hosted on.
