I think when it comes to gun ownership, democrats have just as many. They just don’t post lewd gun-fetish pics as frequently.
That and democrat gun owners are well aware that there needs to be regulation and enforcement.

like seriously, though, god totally tolerated the existence of all sorts of down right awful people. what kind of asshole do you have to be... to get "fuck you in particular" kind of attention?

American Standard, Young's Literal Translation, are both out of copyright as well. Both of which are more readable than the KJV and frequently offer more insight into historical and cultural context without... fudging things for political interests....

also that part where god snuffed a guy because he was an asshole. I kinda wish he'd go back to doing that. (well. maybe not. I get the feeling my definition of 'asshole' and their god's definition are different.)

Uhm, that’s where you went? First off it’s pretty obvious who benefits, but generally speaking, in places that hire high school kids and adults in a mixed setting, everyone gets the same pay. They’re being “under” paid relatively because they usually work fewer hours.
Most unskilled labor the rates are known before you ever apply, and that’s what they offer. You try and negotiate a better wage they’re going to laugh and move on to the next.
As for why their age is a factor at all? Because state and federal regulations make it a factor. There’s a lot of limitations on when, where and how long minors can work.
And unless you go in for child labor… that’s usually a good thing.

Which the whole symbolism of the temple veil being torn when Jesus carked on the cross was meant to mean there was no need for anyone (the clergy) to do that or to intercede.

I'd rather drop that "mini moon" that's in temporary earth orbit for a bit here. It's only 33ft and would probably burn up in atmosphere...but I'm sure we could figure out a way to get a just-large-enough chunk to survive hitting The Swamp ™️

well. there are some weather control technologies that actually exist. Like seeding rain for crops. it's fairly common in most places these days.
but there's no way to precipitate a hurricane or stop one.

US Postal Service, actually. How do you think they can promise "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds."
(Yes, that noise you're hearing in the background is my manic cackle idly daydreaming about conspiracy theorists running with this.)

recognizing that HS students frequently have different perspectives (and limited options as far as jobs go,) is boomer logic?
Further if you're only working 12 hours, a livable wage needs to be more than 3x the pay rate of somebody working 40, and for those jobs, you'd be competing with everyone in retail hell to get. And to be blunt, at least in MN, the regulatory scheduling requirements for people under 18 tend to make scheduling students annoying. (like, seriously. it basically makes a normal shift rotation impossible. throw in school or social things; and many managers just decide it's not worth it... unless the job is such that they're desperate for anyone with a pulse.) (not the kid's fault mind. but yeah, it's seriously inconvenient for basically everyone except people delivering newspapers. because they have carve outs for some reason. Oh. Right. Star Tribune lobbied our legislature for them.)

There’s a facility a few miles from me that makes the LN. used to work at a facility that had a tank farm served by them. Their driver liked to smoke while purging the liquid hydrogen tanks.
And not like, walked over to the smoke shack, nope. right there next to the exhaust vent.

Oh. That’s another thing.
The exodus didn’t happen. Or, rather, the Israelites were always there. What most scholars think is that refugees came up from Egypt and their story was adopted as they assimilated into the broader culture .

Granted, I was going to slap it onto one of my parent’s shiny kitchen appliances and make jokes about it being a mistake to let them have WiFi…. But still…..

Saw this going to a friend’s house- they bagged the fire hydrants….one thought was snow; but this is the first year apparently. And snow has been a mild issue this year compared to most.
 Mamma loafing around with the minions. (~~one is behind her, to the front, the other is behind and to her tail.~~)(edit: those are snacks,)
Gotta ask, what kinda candy was she making? Soft crack. Hard crack. Pot…. Even has the donuts on there for, you know, dealing with the munchies.
Double, double Toil and Trouble; Fire burn and Cauldron boil. and the finished soup: 
Okay, so I was making chicken soup from stock I had made using a (lightly,) browned carcus and neck. just before dumping the the dumplings into it, the stock's color was a nice light brown. I added about 1/4 cup of lemon juice, turned my back for 30 seconds after a stir and it turned it an almost milky-off white. Eventually it deepened to this:  It's delicious, and tastes as expected, I'm just curious as to what happened in the broth's chemistry? Seasoned with salt (duh), a sprig of thyme, some ginger and garlic, (just a hint of ginger,) black pepper, lemon zest (which was added with the torn chicken,) and white wine deglazed the pot from browning the dark meat. The stock was from garlic, onion, celery, carrot and maybe ginger scraps cooked with the chicken carcass..
Due to reasons... I've "adopted" a CR10s that a friend had bought. It was used, and was already well on it's way to being a janky Printer of Theseus. My hope is to get it up and running and put through it's paces before the holidays so I can give it back as a gift. With the linear rail upgrades, I picked up the hardware and it's on it's way; which got me looking at *how* to do the upgrade, which I have mostly figured out; the question I'm having is, most upgrades seem to place the rails on 2020 extrusions sitting on top of the base frame- same as how the original y axis 2040's were designed. Which raises the question- why *not* lower it so the 2020 rails are even with the frame, with the mgn12 rail sitting on top? Like so:  The short answer I came to is this would necessitate replacing the brackets for the y stepper motor and it's idler; but it should be possible. the easiest solution would be something like:  which raises the question: are printed parts rigid enough to hold against the tension on the belts? The motors can't handle too much tension anyhow, and the printer already has the screw-cap tensioners for x and y printed that seem to have been holding up well. has anybody replaced the OG metal bracket on the back? does it stress and need replacing often, or is it fairly reliable (and above all, consistent,)
I mean, like incompetent. For the record those organs I just stole? literally on the desk in front of him. Time to hike on over and sell it. To the Trade Authority.... all 20 feet away... (this was in the UC security in the Well, new atlantis)
Which do you use and why? Which one gets it cleaner. If it matters we have “real” winters here, meaning snow cruft and salt that absolutely must be removed. Edit to clarify: I’m talking about a choice in automated car washes- not hand washing cars. Seems people are getting confused. Touchless is a few passes with a pressure washer. Soft touch adds spinning car-wash brush things.
Lockouts save lives Usually idiots, but sometimes we’re all idiots.
Okay, so, with structural modules- specifically the cowl/belly/hull modules you can slap in... aside from the trivial gains to hull, are they basically just for attachment points/decoration? could i protect things that can be targeted- the weapons, shields, engines, and grav drive- by placing 'under' hull components? or does that just not matter?
