I can't get over how seriously this company takes itself when what they're selling is $2000 power wheels. http://www.henesemporium.com/

Shampoo posted:So why isn't compressed "air" duster....just compressed air? Wouldn't that be cheaper/safer/better for the environment? I made one out of a breathing air tank that i can refill with my compressor, but i only get 45 seconds - 1 minute out of a charge.  You could probably do one with a nitrogen or Co2 tank, or even a scba tank at 6000 psi that would last long enough to do multiple computers, but then you would be paying someone to refill the tank, and that person you're paying wouldn't be any of the companies currently selling canned air.

There have been 1429 people shot, and 255 of them killed in chicago since the start of the year, but let's talk about gun control because a muslim killed some white folk. It's really only going to get worse with those in power exacerbating the root causes rather than addressing them, using gun control and terrorism as cheap distractions. Within the next decade or so, millions of people will be displaced by automation in every single industry, and the pain won't be localized to big manufacturing centers. It's not going to be thousands in detroit out of work, or thousands in chicago out of work, or southern coal miners. it's going to be thousands of people in every city and every town. people who for the last 20 years have voted away their safety net, or voted away progress towards a post-scarcity society. it's going to be entire neighborhoods in 'affluent" cities without a job, without job prospects, with unemployment running out and food stamp programs being dismantled by the idiot they voted into office. They'll have guns though, lots and lots of guns.

The 2 holes in the innermost ring of that adapter should line up with the 2 holes in your outlet box, no? You won't be able to hang 300lbs off it, but it should be enough to hold a light.

Bajaha posted:gently caress PayPal. Do not under any circumstances link your bank account to paypal. If you have to use paypal, buy reloadable visa cards. Paypal operates like a bank without all those consumer protections. If you sell something, and the buyer does a chargeback on their credit card, paypal automatically decides in their favor so they don't have to fight a credit card company. If your bank account is linked, they will try to pull the money back from your bank account. If your credit card is linked, they will charge any defecit to your credit card. They are a lovely, lovely company with lovely, lovely practices and lovely, lovely policies, and if you give them any access to any of your money, they will take it and make you fight to get it back.

corn in the fridge posted:Farage is our trump Farage is your white supremacy leader that trump won't publically denounce. It's absolutely astounding that people like Johnson and Farage are taken seriously by so many people. I mean, imagine Rob Ford running for prime minister after he lost his position as mayor of toronto. At least he had a funny, Chris Farley form of idiocy, not a terrifying Ted Nugent form of idiocy.

It doesn't matter that their fears and concerns are being misdirected, they're exercising a power they've been denied for a long time Those poor, oppressed, under-represented, racist, conservative old people  When will a government finally listen to them.

corn in the fridge posted:I'll excuse your ignorance for unfamiliarity with recent British political history, but a significant portion of leave supporters are traditional Labour voters i.e. working class liberals; especially the older generation who remember or even participated in the miners strikes of the 80s. These are people who were left behind by the neoliberalism of the Thatcher government, ignored by New Labour, and hit hardest by Cameron's austerity policies following the crash of 2008. The difference in the referendum results falls along a class divide, not an ideological one. Their vote to leave the EU was a big two fingers to the ruling elite who had all but forgotten them. It's not astounding or surprising or anything, merely disappointing The polls suggest different. http://lordashcroftpolls.com/2016/06/how-the-united-kingdom-voted-and-why/#more-14746 This chart, specifically, pokes holes in what you've said. There is a clear ideological divide.  I highly doubt working class liberals and those hurt by austerity see social liberalism as a force for ill.

CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:I hate to agree with Corn but..... sorry he's got it closer to the truth. I'm not saying they don't have a reason to be angry, but I believe they allowed their anger to be steered by UKIP and the anti-immigrant crowd into acting against their own self interest. Without a strong contingent of people, with a base of 4 million UKIP voters with 19 in 20 voting leave, a protest vote would have been just that, a protest vote. Immigrants were scapegoated into being responsible for decades of short sighted economic policies. It's clearly happening in areas of canada, too. Real estate being treated as an economic driver, when it results in an affordable housing crisis that starts eating into every other sector of the economy, foreign investment, specifically chinese, is blamed. "Leave the EU' wasn't the working class vote, and isn't in the interest of the working class. Many of them were manipulated through their fears and prejudices. It's clear leaving the EU would only empower the ruling elite it's suggested they were rebelling against. If they were so downtrodden for 35 years, there was a general election a year ago where a protest vote would have created a change. Using a binary vote with potentially disastrous results is clearly the wrong place to do it. If you want to shake the tree, shake the loving tree. Don't grab a blindfold and an axe and start swinging. Yeah 30% of lib dem participants voted leave, and 27% of 18-24 year olds, but no single rain drop feels responsible for the flood, and what i'm sure most now recognize as a mistake was still propped up by a large base who clearly identified immigration as one of the most important, if not the single issue they voted on. It's kind of like Trump. He's a racist shithead. Even if you're considering voting for him based on some inane policy of his that really hits home for you, you're still voting for, and voting with racist shitheads.

1500quidporsche posted:I'm going to third this. These people got hosed over by globalisation and voted for the closest thing to a solution they were presented with even though it was wrong. You can call them dumb or whatever but I really don't think you can fault the people that voted for this, they just want to stop being hosed in the rear end and don't know what to do about it. I'm no where near right wing but the left has had a tinge of elitism to it in recent years and I can understand why its driving a lot of the blue collar voters away. In the last decade, the political landscape in the UK has been quite dynamic, and is capable of being quite dynamic. It's not like the US Where despite sanders popularity, because he only gets 48% of one of the 2 parties, he's completely marginalized. If a populist like sanders could rise to the same levels in the UK, they would gain a reasonable amount of sway in the political discussion. UKIP has gone from 600k to 900k to 3.8 million in a decade. They didn't win many seats, but parties attempting to reclaim those voters had to appeal with type of rhetoric that gave UKIP that popularity. I am watching from a distance, from the outside looking in, but i also have no emotional attachment either way. It's not something i can influence, and not something i'm largely affected by, but i am still a human being. It seems clear to me that one group has manipulated a second group to harm a third. In the end, i think the second group is as responsible as the first. Personally, here in alberta, a conservative goverment likely would have benefited me economically, but i couldn't vote for them because of the damage they had done through their corruption, and the damage they were actively doing socially. There was a massive swing from a 41 year conservative majority to a NDP(socialist) majority, and that didn't bother me much. I see it as short term pain vs long term serious harm. I have to bite my tongue when it comes to political discussion for the most part, but the NDP will be likely be out within a few years, and their activity will likely pull the political discussion the province much further towards center, and hopefully drain the bad blood from the provincial conservative party. I voted liberal federally because harper, the conservative leader was as disgusting a
