The mouse under your palm or the phone/tablet in your hand right now was made in China, and I bet you didn’t search high and low for a more expensive USA made alternative when you bought it — in fact, I bet the low price was a significant factor in your purchase decision. The generations before us opened the…

They use literal slaves for every fucking thing they build. I guess you dont own any TV’s in your house. Do you have Plex? What do youi watch it off of because if it is Amazon fire stick, apple tv, chromecast, Roku? Is your media server have a seagate or western digital HDD? Is your NAS synology, or netgear, or Nvidia?…

“You’re a “sovereign” citizen? Not a US citizen? Can I see your passport and your visa? Don’t have one? Oh, you’re an illegal. We’ll just detain you while we wait on ICE to show up then.”

A town in New Hampshire did that (at least the libertarian part). Then the bears took over. Grafton, New Hampshire is one of my favorite FAFO stories.

I was like, WTF, how paranoid are you? Somehow both the OP (who was encouraging people to open carry) and the commenter have unfriended me in…

“If you bring a firearm to the checkpoint with a round in the chamber and the firearm is unholstered, you will be arrested,” Maj. Kelley Collier said in a statement.

Imagine being so fragile and scared of the world that you need to bring a gun with you everywhere to feel tough and safe.

half his mind working to improve electric vehicles for the masses, some of it working to save social media from bots and a bit more working on taking us to Mars.

It was simply Musk getting mad at someone for pushing back on what he was asking for and punishing the entire team as part of his tantrum.

Framing hammer for framing work.
