It’s only been 7 days. Lol. We still have at least 3.98 years of this (assuming Democracy isn’t abolished after this point and we don’t get to vote anymore).
My greatest desire is my state which is deep blue decides to secede and we get Cascadia up in this shit.
I would not consider myself an expert either. Advanced beginner or low-end of intermediate at best. But I’m hoping the “build it and they will come” principle takes effect and we get some experts in here.
That’s a good point! I think I’m convinced to buy new now.
It’s kind of funny that the manual/kiln sitter kilns are not recommended. I feel like they’re still quite popular in the US.
Thanks for the response! The circuit I am putting in should comfortably handle the KM-1027 and I would not go bigger or more powerful than that kiln.
The usage aspect is a concern of mine, which is why I’m thinking of going smaller. I don’t know how long it would take me to fill a kiln. It may be a month or two since I’m a slow producer doing it as a hobby. But I also don’t want to be too limited in size, and the smaller kilns cost almost as much as the larger kilns anyway so I’m wondering if I should just go with the 1027. I could put my kiln on KilnShare in between my own firings but that opens up a different can of worms.
I do have an electrical engineering degree so the electronics portion of it doesn’t scare me that much. I’d probably use existing open source kiln controller projects but I don’t know how good they are. I probably wouldn’t want to program my own from scratch, that’s a little too much investment. lol. I’m mostly wondering if the current solutions out there are any good and whether it’s worth it to go for the older cheaper kilns and that, or just get new. I’m leaning towards new though.
The racists all wanted to leave the US because it wasn’t racist enough. However now the racists are in power and they don’t want to leave anymore.
The US can manifist my ass. If CA leaves the PNW sure as shit is leaving too. We’re far more liberal than CA.
Oregon and Washington would probably do the same if California seceded. (Which it won’t). If BC Canada left, Cascadia would be a thing that is large and prosperous enough to stand on it’s own. That or the three states just join Canada.
Yeah I got permabanned for supporting Luigi. Maybe a bit too enthusiastically but it is what it is. Every account I make now gets auto banned even if I use VPN.
I could probably get around it with a paid VPN and the Brave browser but I don’t really want to blow any money on getting to a shit community anyway. The only things I miss are my interest subs like pottery, landscaping, etc. The ones here are dead.
But enough CEOs are turning out to be asshats and people are fleeing for the fediverse so it may get more active and diverse here.
As it is, I don’t really mesh with the majority of lemmys and “wrongthink” is actively policed here. It will be nice when less terminally online people join and water down the extremists.
You never emulated it either?
Ah I have yet to watch it. Didn’t realize Walken was in it.
Biden reversed Trump’s previous executive order banning it and said he would just support whatever Congress decides, and both sides of Congress bipartisanly supported a ban. But sure… Only Genocide Joe. 🙄
What is this format from?
Not to mention they’ve bought out every previously legitimate news source.
They are both security risks. The difference is the SA oligarch has already successfully infiltrated our national security and installed himself in a position of power so we can’t do anything about it anymore.
Honestly the way he did it was pretty perfect. Create technology and weapons and R&D for the country you want to infiltrate, ingratiate yourself to it’s people, government, and military. Then start throwing money into politics to buy yourself a spot on the cabinet.
This is a game any bad state actor with a huge wad of cash can play thanks to Citizen’s United.
Why wait 3 years?
Just as credible as social media platforms claiming they protect free speech, or corporations that claim they care about anything other than shareholders profits. Or Trump claiming he doesn’t support project 2025.
I refuse to use Facebook even for Marketplace. I still have pretty good luck with Craigslist.
Yes and I can use it as often as I want without guilt.
That and I can play music and videos with bothering anyone as background noise.
Actually the best benefit is being able to hang around my cat.
And husband, it’s nice to see him too I guess.
This is the kind of stupid take that got us here.
