So let me get this straight. A dude with no record and a judge order to prevent deportation, who didn't resist law enforcement during his kidnapping, gets whisked away to a torture prison without pause, but a dude breaks a pig's nose and gets to remain in the States? What incentive is there NOT to go down with the most violence you can against the abductors? When tRump is finally removed from power, hopefully with a hanging for treason, I hope the next president pardons people like Hector Villegas-Alvarez.

It's called accelerationism. It's the belief that a better society can only come about after a large disruptive event wipes out the current system. Those that survive (lots of billionaires with bunkers) will shape the new society in their eyes. It's real and it's terrifying. Like you I was mystified by the choices of the rich and powerful until I learned about this shit. Now it all makes sense...

First, I have no idea what some of these things are called or I think I know but I'm also second guessing myself the whole time. Also, I've never bought glass from anywhere but a local head-shop. For instance, this bong is almost 20yo. Please forgive me, if I apply incorrect nomenclature to any of the parts.

My bong's inner pipe, I think it's called a joint, broke several months back. I searched online shortly after but there were so many variables to consider that it kind of seemed overwhelming. I'm hoping there's someone within this community who has experience replacing a bongs' hardware. I have some measurements and images with the measurements included if anyone needs to see them. All of the measurements below are approximate mm -> inch conversions.

  • Depth from rubber grommet to lowest part of chamber: 115 mm, 4.5 in

  • Inner glass diameter (joint?): 14 mm, 0.5 in

  • Inner glass diameter (bowl?): 8 mm, 0.3 in

  • Diameter of lowest chamber (don't know if this is needed): 107 mm, 4.25 in

  • Diameter of bowl chamber (don't think this matters): 30 mm, 1.25 in

I would appreciate recommendations you all have for reputable glassware replacement sellers (from first-hand experience, preferably). In addition, I don't think the depth of the join needs to be that long, that's just the max depth. Thank you in advance for any suggestions, recommendations, or numbers to filter for when finding a replacement!

After a lot of planetary landings, I finally found one! Galaxy is Hilbert Dimension!

Man fuck Pelosi. She's just worried about being unable to insider-trade her privileged position to wealth. If the play's not broken, why would they change a damn thing. Fuck these ghouls!

A round blanket with the pattern of a pepperoni pizza on it. Bought it as a funny treat for my wife and me. Our, now, 5yo sleeps with it every night. It's his pizza blanket!

Fuck those ghouls with a rusty train spike. I'll donate to Harris every month until election if she tells them to fuck all the way off! It might be only $25 a month, but that is like halfway to $7m.

I'll give up on YouTube before I give up my ad blocks or 3rd party apps. Fuck off Google.

I used to have no issue with this, just like the person from this reddit post, where my music app would resume playing if it was the last app with media playing via Bluetooth and I did not actively close the app since the last time it played.

I am having this same issue, with this same phone, running (I assume) the same Android version. Ever since I got my Pixel 7, I've had no problems with Bluetooth resuming in my car. I'd listen to Deezer on my way to work, my way from work, and as long as it was the app of choice, it would start playback as soon as it connected back to my car. I received a few updates recently and now that doesn't happen. Now it just shows me what it was playing, but never starts it, and I have to go into the app, itself, just to "wake it up" to play.

Anyone seen similar? I've unchecked all things that I know of which could stop an app from running in the background, or with loss of connection to devices. It's not set to close at all for any reason, yet it almost seems like it does. No one has responded to the OP of the cross-post so I figured I'd extend this post to Lemmy and see if anyone has an answer or suggestion.

Soon as my phone is paid off I'm going to Graphene or some other alternative to Google's trash.

Dude, just fucking die already. I hope they double their efforts of subpoenas going forward. If a spotlight is cast on a Democrat, well call for their removal as well. Politics should not be a "get rich quick" scheme. You work for us, asshole, and it's high time we reminded you/them of that fact.

Ya know, I've seen a lot of posts regarding Elon Musk spam in this community, and calls to "ban" them, yet every week we get gloom and doom posts like this when some new subset of the world starts seeing this shit. I'd really like to see a pinned message about the fix, which is...

  1. Install Firefox or a derivative, and add the uBlock Origin extension.

If you visit YouTube and see the pop-up, the page isn't loading the video content, or it just seems to be acting strange, do the following:

  1. Click on the uBlock Origin brown shield in your extensions.
  2. Click the three little gears icon to enter the settings.
  3. Make sure you're in the Filter lists section from the top and click the Purge all caches button below it.
  4. Click the Update now button.
  5. Wait until the filter update completes.
  6. Refresh the tab(s) that YouTube is in.
  7. Press play.

I literally have no other installed add-ons for ad blocking, anymore. Only uBlock Origin. Any time I see the message or YouTube starts acting up, I just repeat those 7 steps above for any YouTube tab that was already open, and viola, the video plays. It has simplified so many issues for me and reduced the number of adblock extensions I need to run.

I definitely plan on donating this holiday season to their team, probably the biggest share of the pie between the FOSS apps I enjoy and appreciate. Should uBlock Origin ever fail, I'll just stop going to YouTube.
