Children as young as 7 'arrested' by German police at Gaza demos
  • chants like "from the river to the sea, palestine will be free" being antisemitic.

    Iirc this can fall under antisemitism as it impies the wish to "destroy" izzy. I don't agree, but thats why.

    Even though you're right about a lot of this, checking news' sources is always important, especially now.

  • Thats like the oppisite of the issue here.

    Remembrance is so deeply ingrained into our society, that a lot of people in power are struggling to even criticise Israel.

    Add to that highly emotionally charged discourse and frustration in the general public at these protests plus cops being cops, jumping at an opportunity to bash lefties and you get this bullshit.

    Which are your favorite non-English movies, series etc?
  • Double space + linebreak
    for this and double linebreak

    For a paragraph.

    Doesn't help that thunder seems to eat a trailing space when you linebreak.

    With prime day coming up, I'd like to know what you aren't gonna buy.
  • I'm not buying the travel didgeridoo they're trying to sell me via insta ads constantly. I don't play the didgeridoo.

    Perks of declining cookies and disabling personalised ads anywhere i can.

    People who are 1s and 2s on this scale, do you watch adult video?
  • Same same, i try to be aware of it and ground myself when i do catch it drift into just verbalising anxiety with no real benefit.

    Especially when i should be enjoying reality instead, like during a movie, concert or hike

  • Imo its just a different thing.

    Like, 1 or 2 here with sort of moving images like memories, sounds, conversations.

    I still listen to interviews despite being able to make up convos in my head. I watch comedy despite being able to make up jokes and funny stories.

    I watch movies despite being able to visualise whatever i want.

  • When i zone out, i can have full conversations with people ive never met in my mind while walking to work.

    Basically flying blind through traffic, unless something relevant registers on my "conscious" mind.

    What's Some Tech That Was Better Than It Is Now?
  • Not sure who would ever need an SUV, especially in an urban env. Most of the common ones have zero off roading capabilities either, so work vehicles are usually specialised.

    Thanks for the link though, I'll forward it :)

  • Yeah tbh there would be no harm in banning them. If you need a work truck, those are fine. No person in the world needs an SUV or an oversized pickup truck

  • Even the most reliable drivers overlook something, get distracted by something on the road or in the car. These features absolutely help more than they harm.

  • Of course not, what makes you think anything i said is even vaguely related to those negative cherry picks?

    Is car manufacturing and design not tech?

    Do impact detection, brake assist/auto brake, modern lane assist, distance detection etc not add to safety? I could probably rattle on

  • With the ever growing HEMA and reenactment scene, there are a bunch of really good forges/manufacturers putting out fantastic training equipment, replicas and custom work, sharp and blunt.

    With our machining and material science I'd guess that a high end sword now would blow the originals out of the watee

    Since there isn't really a specific airbrush community, i'll try dumping my issue here ok? I'm following the Q/A structure of the airbrush subreddit for completeness sake :)

    Alright, so I just got my first airbrush for my birthday - for mini painting - and I'm getting very unreliable / unpredictable paint flow after an initial clog and cleaning.

    Airbrush make and model

    Timbertech ABPST05

    Compressor make and model

    Same name, came with the set. Running just over 20 PSI during open airflow.

    Paint or other medium you are using

    First some Vallejo Black Primer with Vallejo AB Thinner, then some Scale75 White which clogged. Now I'm struggling with Citadel Shyish Purple contrast paint with thinner despite its already very liquid nature.

    Have you done anything different lately?

    After thoroughly cleaning (stripping the whole thing, running Timbertech AB Cleaner through the pot -> nozzle etc) I slowly started noticing unreliable spray pattern: I open airflow, then pull back ever so slightly -> a thin stream comes out for maybe a second -> stops. I pull back a little more -> a slightly bigger stream, then stops. Once I hit a "wall" on the trigger, it starts working a little bit better but still not entirely reliable. No bubbles appear in the tank during this.

    Have you tried using just water, tear-down and cleaning...

    Just water feels like it's working fine, just thinner also seems fine. I did a full tear down after it first clogged because that's how a YT video told me is the right way to clean an AB after every use T_T I'm pretty confident that I put it all back together right.

    I switched out needle, nozzle and cap. I let some cleaner flow through the pot, out the front without a nozzle on to check the channel isn't blocked.

    Any advice would be appreciated!

    store.steampowered.com Save 15% on Risk of Rain Returns on Steam

    Carefully designed, beautifully remastered, and loaded with new ways to play—Risk of Rain is back and better than ever! Dive into the iconic roguelike full of unique loot combinations, enhanced with new Survivors, overhauled multiplayer, fan favorite content from Risk of Rain 2, and more!

    The first two are probably in my top 5 games of all time. This one combines both into an experience closer to the first while adding new stuff.

    Can't wait to boot it up later!

    Edit to add some info:

    The Risk of Rain series is now three games, all run-based roguelites. That means you start out with a set amount of characters.. Most of the cast still locked.

    You start a run, collect items along the way, kill beasts, slay bosses and get bonkers strong.

    Each stage ends with charging and defending a teleporter which triggers a bossfight and waves of mobs.

    Depending on how well you do, what secrets (esp. in RoR2 proper hidden puzzles to figure out) you uncover and which challenges you beat, you unlock items for future runs, and characters.

    The kicker of the formula to me is the difficulty mechanic: the more time passes, the harder it gets. Regardless of your progress im the run.

    Depending on mode/modifiers you might choose to grind out the first stage, rush to a certain point for a basic set of items, or push towards the boss.

    This much is true for all of them - though I haven't played Returns yet.

    The first one is a pretty old-school 2D sidescroller/plattformer with a steep learning curve due to the limited mobility and static aim.

    The second one is a 3D third person shooter/brawler depending on character. It features some more in depth decision making, secret stages, hidden unlocks, more challenge stages, character variations etc etc.

    It's more modern style and fantastic movement make it a bit more approachable imo.

    The third goes back to the roots. It's a 2d sidescrolling game but much more modern and polished compared to the first one. It features characters and items from both predecessors, as well as a host of new stuff to dig into!

    Probably the most satisfying print so far. almost full plate, entire model done in one go. It's a walker by Station Forge.

    Some parts reattached in the corners as you can see, i'm assuming because they managed to peel off the fep there down the line.

    Very odd failure anyway, i'll just reslice, and retry.

    Pretty mean how hard this one was to detect. I paused and checked the print and looking at a full plate of solid supports made me feel safe :(

    No clue if too moist or too little FAE, but I'm here for whatever the fuck this is :)

    Left bag is also doing a weird blob which sprouted two separate new growths too:

    Already harvested some parts of the left one, as they were getting slightly brownish at the tips.

    I've been going ot the gym for a little while, using GZCLP on Perseus. Been making steady progress (besides a longer dip after a nasty cold) but I still struggle with deadlifts, especially now that they're getting a bit heavier.

    1. I got a shit back and inherent anterior pelvic tilt, it's easy to tweak the lower back for me. I put a lot of emphasis on keeping it straight, neutralizing the tilt and bracing the core to support it. Still, sometimes I feel the pinch near the sides of the lumba spine. Any advice to help with that would be phenomenal.

    2. I got stupid knees. They're not injury prone or anything, but they stick out. Several times now I bruised them pretty severely, mostly on the way down. The bar slides down the quads - as I learned it should - and then bonk into the tissue just above the patella before continuing around the knee. What am I doing wrong?

    > For all of human history, eating meat has meant slaughtering animals. But scientists behind cultivated meat say that's no longer necessary. They produce meat by growing cells extracted from an animal's body. And, today, the U.S. Department of Agriculture gave its first clearances to sell meat produced this way.
