When they get their orders and talking points directly from Russia’s FSB, they don’t have to hire legislative staff to work for their constituents, do research on issues, and solve problems.
They can use the money for political campaigning instead. No wonder they’re successful!
Good thinking! /s
A standard vented coffee bag has… a vent. So some smell is expected.
I just keep old coffee bags around if I need to store grounds or separate smaller quantities of beans.
I believe the objective is to reduce beans’ and grounds’ exposure to air, to reduce oxidation and flavor oil evaporation, so a standard coffee bag is the best way. Just squeeze out most of the air as you’re resealing it.
Storing in airtight jars leaves too much air, IMO.
What would a funnel be for? I can’t think of a use for one off the top of my head.
Trump: Loyalty for me, but not for thee.
They still have to form a coalition with other parties to get over 50% to form a ruling coalition.
If they don’t ally with either of the Russian-backed anti-Ukraine parties AFD (right) and BSW (left), it’ll take just about everyone else to get over 50%
Okay, but will it be replaced by something better, or just the most ruthless, violent and opportunistic who can rush in (heh) and fill the power vacuum first?
The first couple of weeks on a private tracker are always pretty rough, until you can build up your ul/dl ratio high enough to get some breathing room.
Some sites make things easier on newbs than others.
If possible, look for recent freeleech torrents, especially popular ones, download them even if you aren’t really interested in the content, and seed them 24/7 to build your ul stats…
You have at least 10 years from when your tapes were written.
Hope the device you have to read them still works …
I just signed up for Matrix because you mentioned it.
I installed the Element front end, because that seems to be the most popular.
It looks like IRC, which is fine if that’s all you need.
It also appears that anything beyond text has to be hotlinked, which is understandable, given that the amount of data transmitted for redundancy between home servers is exponential with the number of home servers.
Really very similar to Lemmy, where the identity of each group is tied to a particular server, e.g. lemmy has [email protected] but Matrix has #anime:matrix.org
So what happens if matrix.org goes away or decides the server admin wants to be hostile to #anime?
What kind of system that depends on centralized servers can ever be secure from government snooping?
That kind of architecture is completely hopeless in that regard.
Is a encrypted, distributed, P2P architecture realistic though?
Mom went authoritarian on me when I cut up her Electoral magazines.
Or Electoral College even.
I would like to see what an Electoral Collage looks like.
There’s a Trump undercount in polling: Trump voters don’t trust “MSM” and therefore don’t answer calls from pollsters, or are embarrassed to admit they will vote for him.
Same goes for asking random people on the street.
How to cut off PS online verification: https://www.reddit.com/r/GenP/comments/1624ybw/how_to_fix_photoshop_we_cant_verify_your/
But the tool they recommend using, GenP, does trigger Windows Defender warnings because it modifies binaries, so read the installation instructions carefully.
Or migrate to FOSS software, or pay Adobe to use their product.
There are some specialty content, such as British TV and Asian TV and movies, or complete archives of porn sites, that don’t appear regularly on public torrent sites, or streaming sites for that matter.
If you never watch that kind of thing, then you don’t need to sign up for a private tracker.
The Republicans want to take the country back to the pre-Civil Rights era.
What’s next? Sundown towns?
Zelensky should have piledrived Modi while he had the chance a couple of days ago.
Byfusion’s product looks very different from the typical shred+sand+melt process.
I don’t know how theirs are made.
It’s downcycling into pavers and roofing tiles, which is pretty much the most you can hope for with soft plastics with today’s technology.
The resulting products cannot be used for anything else after they wear out.
To say nothing of leaching chemical runoff, questionable longevity of the bricks/tiles, shedding microplastics, inconsistent mechanical properties limiting use as construction materials, etc.
This process of shredding plastics, melting, adding sand, and shoveling into molds, has been known for a long time, and there are numerous videos showing entrepreneurs in 3rd world countries using it.
Here’s a video from 2015 about a downcycler in Cameroon, and it says the guy had been doing this for 15 years already back then.
This is why you shouldn’t put your money into human-managed mutual funds.
Humans make idiotic decisions like helping Musk buy Twitter.
