  • I don’t think people do talk about Hogsbreath being a Nazi, but it’s because he’s MAGA so it’s more or less assumed. Why argue about if he’s a Nazi when not many will disagree? Leads to attacking on policy, which is honestly kinda convenient for him, and I am starting to dislike that we don’t directly attack him for his tattoos even as I am typing this.

    With Platner, he was already really borderline for a lot of people (background, specifically multiple tours then willingly signing up with Blackwater), so the tattoo is really just a final nail in his self created coffin.

    Do I think he’s an actual Nazi? Eh, probably not. But I also think maybe we shouldn’t be voting in people who are “eh, probably not” Nazis. The election is also like a fucking year away, not like we’re rushing last minute.


  • Only because I had to explain the differences recently and it’s top of mind:

    Satisfactory - Main goal is efficient usage of limited amount of throughput. Resource nodes are static, and efficiency is the name of the game. My favorites usually end up a spaghetti mess of belts, everything being fed the correct amount of inputs and all outputs being accounted for.

    Factorio - Main goal is THE FACTORY MUST GROW. Your factory need more input to run 100%? You could figure out how to optimize everything that comes before it, orrrr just slam more out. Resources are randomly generated, and while you can exhaust deposits, there’s always more on the horizon. Explore. Expand. Exterminate. ENLARGE FACTORY. Usually ends up in a beautiful mess of a factory with bots zipping around, and the power flickers every now and then when the biters think they are more powerful that explosives/concentrated beams of light.



  • What? You want high smoke point oils for seasoning. You want to season the pans in temperatures higher than you would be normally cooking in, which means higher smoke point oils. I season all of my cast iron and carbon steel with canola, works great.

    If you season with Extra Virgin Olive Oil, it’s going to burn the seasoning off under normal circumstances.

    Actually one of the best things for fleas (outside of oral medications) is Dawn, no jokes. We had a bad outbreak after the dog brought them in and they got on our 3 cats so it was a battle of attrition as wed wipe out the infestation in one animals and it get reestablished on the others but bathing and flea combing them every day (and dusting the carpets and furniture with diatomaceous earth) eventually we wore them down, broke their lines, crushed their flea men and heard the lamentations of their flea women, who were then also crushed.

    I still have PTSD flashbacks like 3yrs later when I feel a tingle on my leg and think it’s a flea 😅



  • And while we’re ranting about this, can we throw PMI and whomever came up with it on the bonfire where they belong?

    Your telling me that I need to pay for you to have insurance in case I default while your also charging me interest who’s very purpose is to offset risk? Why am I paying to offset your risk FUCKING TWICE AND HOW IS THIS FUCKING LEGAL.

    Shit infuriates me. I want all the bankers to get William Wallace on live TV, recorded and played back once a year during a mandatory viewing window so that we never, ever, forget.


  • …the fuck are you on about? Don’t lump the Northeast in with the South. Massachusetts is easily the most liberal state in the country, and it’s not even really close and second place is Hawaii so still not West Coast.

    If you want peer pressure from GOP funding Silicon Valley NIMBYs and weirdly conservative cannabis farmers go West. If you want a culture that prides itself on cutting you off in traffic while sipping a large extra extra around the Newport eternally stuck to your lower lip but at the same militantly defending your civil rights and social systems, come to New England. Or don’t, we barely have snow anymore. I’ll give that to the American West, better ski mountains.

    (this is mostly a joke, everyone’s fucked anyway)


  • The last time I was visiting my parents in South Carolina we went to a local art faire thing, and one of the stands was a dude selling art of Confederates. Not just any Confederates, Black Confederates. And the dude selling this art, was a older black man in full fucking Confederate uniform. The best part was the massive bread boards he had full of tiny font Confederate apologia that read like a SovCit manifesto.

    Don’t think the color of a person’s skin naturally dictates their opinions on matters that you think it should, people will surprise you every time.
