Don’t even combine contiguous neighbors 😈 and make Minnesota bigger

I’m literally considering machine embroidery for my (second attempt) on one of my suit refurbs

…and I am kinda tired of losing the rhetorical war on “quality” or “environmental impact” or “copyrights”

It feels bad for my soul. It is a slot machine in a convincing costume. It reflects badly on yourself if you care so little about \an thing\ that a robot can just vomit it out

Let’s gooooo!

For budgets:
Used pro-100/pro-10 are EVERYWHERE. But be prepared to spend ~200 between ink and head replacements if it’s in mediocre shape.

Light/home duty: et 8550
Semi-pro “art selling”: pro-300 or p700
Pro “serious art”: pro-1100 or p900
High volume: p5370

I’d wonder if the catholic impetus is lead first by “the power of the state is taken from the power of the church” (à la communism’s relationship to atheism)

Of course money and power are joined at the hip… so it’s merely academic to try and put chickens before eggs 😅

And a lot of that preordainment leads to tracking markers of wealth and power as markers of the divine (even from outside whatever faith alignment).

My original point was that American Protestantism comes with an extra twist of divine right at the individual level because salvation is largely preordained…
