URGENT MUTUAL AID - $30/150
Hello all! It's your friendly neighborhood mod Glitch, and I am in need of some help.
I am a trans nonbinary disabled neurodivergent individual (ME/CFS) who is unable to work and I haven't been able to get disability.
I've been trying to get help for a few days now without any luck. Please read below why this is so urgent for me:
Have a sudden change of plans since I will be moving back into my apartment next week now that the remodel is finished.
We do have a heat wave coming this week, so I could use some help with groceries so I can get some cold food/shelf stable food to get through the week, cat food/cat litter, and some personal care/hygiene items. Any help is appreciated.

"The herbicide ingredient used to replace glyphosate in Roundup and other weedkiller products can kill gut bacteria and damage organs in multiple ways, new research shows.

@Infoseepage The latter two pictures are of a Russian "copycat" thermite drone that apparently does not dispense very much thermite compared to the Ukrainian ones:
I don't know the size and mass of the Ukrainian ones, but it'd have to be a lot bigger and heavier to produce such large amounts of incendiaries.
@isaackuo @Infoseepage
It's quite possibly an "off the shelf" item, used for on-site welding - especially of railway track. Then you just need a container with a hole in the bottom for the igniter and a suitable heat-resistant lid to protect the drone as it pours molten steel onto the target.
(Someone was selling "NR Grade Thermite" on eBay UK a few years ago - I suspect the NR stood for "Network Rail".)

A Simple Fix for the Healthcare Crisis: Outlaw Insurance
Both sides in the health care debate have vested interests in screwing the pooch, so to speak, and little interest in solving the problem. Neither side ever asks, "What is the problem?"
The problem is simple to understand -- medical costs are too expensive in America. Fortunately, the solution is just as simple -- outlaw insurance. Insurance is a form of gambling, and, like any casino, insurance companies . . . stormfront.org/forum/blogs/u15…

ActivityPub is wrong, these are not emoji, not even "custom" ones.
We called them stickers even in the 1990s, so. Do.
Stickers, in the 90s? Are you sure? I believe we've been calling them smileys. I don't have any BBS software sources at hand, but PHPbb and SMF were among the most popular forum engines in the early 2000s, both call them smileys, e.g. here:
github.com/phpbb/phpbb/commit/…
github.com/SimpleMachines/SMF/…
Sticker is a relatively "young" term IMO, I think I encountered it for the first time when dealing with Telegram or something like that.

Oh, yes, that could be true! 🤔
But I see, @mirabilos@toot.mirbsd.org means real-life objects that inspired them — makes sense, but for me it wasn't like that. This could also be country and language specific.
In any case — yes, for the sake of correctness, emojis are original Japanese characters, but I personally don't mind the term being used more broadly 😁

Challenge: Prove that an Epstein client list exists.
Over the last 4 years that I have been collecting and cataloging news and memes I have saved almost 60K images.
I read every charging document on Ghislaine Maxwell, and I saved every piece of evidence related to the case that I could find.
I have never seen proof that an "Epstein client list" even exists let alone that it would be trustworthy if it did.
Is there anyone that can prove it exists? I seriously doubt it.

So... I printed a pocket sized gas filter cartridge to mouth adapter. It fits and works! Great for all the other times when one doesn't want to carry a full face respirator around everywhere for the occasional less than lethal dog fart.
I found this has already been designed, "3M Filter Adapter for Snorkel Mask (dual or single filter)" and I chose the single filter and printed it, and here is the success. It will need an oring (which can be printed with TPU filament LOL.) The only change I would make is printing it slightly smaller at 98% for a better fit to the cartridge and 100% infill for strength, so just started another print.
And possibly another revision, to print the whole thing in TPU as this is held by the mouth and teeth 😁
