Burritos are easy to meal prep. Make your own shit and stop paying these clowns.

Per NPR:

Congress has rarely resorted to the most extreme punishment at its disposal. The House has expelled only five members in its history — three during the Civil War and two after their convictions on public corruption charges. It would be groundbreaking for the House to kick out Santos before his case in federal court is resolved.

There's not really an established precedent for booting Congress members out before a conviction. So, while I agree he's a 10/10 shitbag, I think there's value of letting due process play out and then kick him to the curb.

Yeah fuck those guys. Had an awning built over our patio and didn't even get through the whole summer before one started digging a hole into one of the rafters. Our backyard is now a no-fly zone for those bastards.

Pretty good. Labor day is a paid day off for me. Wife has to work though, but that just means I get to pal around with my son all day.

Librewolf looks super interesting. I might give this a shot first and see what it's like.

Will do! Looks like uBlock should be exactly what I need.

Decided I'm going to make the switch today. What I like about Brave is the out-of-the-box tracker and add blockers. Is an extension like Ghostery good enough with Firefox to get similar results or are there better ways to approach this?

Thanks!

We have a white noise machine for my son in his room, but having it handy via Spotify is nice for using it in the car.

The name comes from the barrels of soda crackers that could be found for sale in small-town stores across the American South in the early 1900s; people would stand around the barrels chatting and catching up, similar in purpose to contemporary office water coolers.

I just got into 3D Printing (got my Ender 3 two weeks ago) and I've been loving the experience! Learning lots of new things as well as making a few mistakes and learning from those.

I found this model and wanted to print it for a fish tank:

https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/fish-viewing-cave

In some of the Make screenshots it looks like the model doesn't have a bottom. However when I brought the model into Cura, it looks like the model had a top and bottom portion.

Because of that, I thought it would need supports so I went ahead and printed accordingly. When the print finished, it was just like the Make screenshots provided. No big deal, it was super easy to remove the supports. However, reviewing the model in Cura I'm not sure how I was supposed to know that it wouldn't have the bottom printed.

Thanks in advanced!

Could try 3D printing. I recently picked up an Ender 3 printer and have been having a lot of fun. I'm in a pretty good spot with a few figures printed and I'm ready to start doing the clean up and polishing type stuff. After I feel like I have a good process I'll start figuring out the best ways to paint.

It's been a fun hobby with a seemingly endless amount of depth, so there's always something to learn or just improve your current process.

The printer I got, plus the filament was around $195 to get started. Budget permitting I think its a fun creative outlet.
