  • Years ago I picked up this roll up tarp I use for my windshield. Fits pretty much all cars and trucks and covers the whole thing with some elastic tie downs that loop over the rear view mirrors.

    Thing has been a life savor on cold mornings and even on days that it comes snow and ice.

    Just put it on when you get home and when you go out to get in it to leave of a morning there is zero scraping. You can still start the car to warm it a bit but all the work that is required is rolling it up to put it in the backseat.

    Granted if it snows or sleets it can make it more difficult as you have to move some of this off the cover first.




  • Yup. Buckle up buckaroos.

    Got an email from HR this morning to make sure that any employees who were late had it noted on their time cards and any one who had to leave for doctors visits had the proper doctors note upon return.

    It’s been years since we’ve been requiring any of this sort of stuff but suddenly we are going to start dicking the employees again and not just here.

    My wife told me, she was told by a friend in HR that her company that they anre about to start rolling out some pretty draconian rules for employees (right out of the Project 2025 playbook).

    Prepare to enter the Fuck Around and Find Out stage my friends.









  • I have the MYNT pen you have pictured and I’ve used it a few times to patch up bad holes or other spots on prints that I did on my 3d printer.

    It does the job when it comes to filling spots and am guessing it would easily do what you are describing. I know I find it a little unwieldy (I think that’s the right word) when it comes to making it do intricate things. I’ve seen pictures of detail work people claim they’ve done with them and meh - it’s beyond me. I’m decent with an airbrush but it doesn’t handle the same way.

    I guess keep in mind - the pluses is that it uses the same filament you are using so it will match color wise.

    The minuses is that it can be inconsistent with the flow rate and can be uneven with how it fills and looks so be prepared to (possibly) do a little extra sanding to get it level.




  • Here is the thing:

    Trump set the US evacuation in motion. In February 2020, his administration and the Taliban agreed that US forces would leave by 1 May the following year. After losing the 2020 election to Biden, Trump ordered the rapid withdrawal of all troops but was blocked by senior officials. Instead, the US began to swiftly reduce its presence.

    Everytime I point this out to a MAGA it starts an instant argument. It’s like tossing gas on a fire.

    The whole leave Afghanistan thing was Trumps idea but they all seem to forget that and want to pretend it was solely Biden’s fault for coming up with it. Putting the blame on the soldiers is some top tier shit stupidity as well.




  • I thought that at first too but now I am starting to think that some of these nominations were a ruse. Nominate the ‘worst ones of my supporters’ that have zero chance and if they get in, they get in, favors re-paid.

    If they don’t then he gets to find out who cried the loudest against him to keep them out (aka who wasn’t ‘loyal’) in the process and he will work to get those people kicked out.

    He will always find jobs for the Gaetz’s or whoever - maybe not top cabinet picks but there will be some ass kissing job somewhere.

    But I might be wrong as well. Gaetz was all around hated by everyone and completely incompetent but then again so are a few of his other choices. I guess time will tell.



  • It’s awful coincidental that he seems to hang out with the ‘rapist’ crowd. Even going as far as writing a letter for Masterson as to how nice of a guy he is to try to get him a lenient sentence.

    Even Hollywood has ostracized him and his wife - news sites recently reported they were looking to leave the country and let things cool off for a while.

    I’m sure everyone is right though that keep posting here, that he is a swell guy who was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, multiple times. Several years worth of multiple times with wrong people. Just a coincidence.
