Principles are costly always but I really like to pay the fee upfront. That way, you get the most value out of actually having them.

Updating the #modelrailroad layout. No more wooden board color, soon green grass colored. Track already has ballast so I don't have to worry about that.

Real altruism.
her way of doing it is so good — the receiving org just gets a call from her people asking for their bank wire info. “don’t you want any info about us?” nope, they’ve already vetted everything.

and her gifts come with no strings attached — not even a photo op. just pure philanthropy.
Mackenzie Scott, Bezos' ex wife, has given billions of dollars to causes with no stipulations except for them to use it for their missions, and people are dumbfounded like 'really? you dont want anything? you're just giving money? are you sure?'

Blue Origin VP Jarrett Jones: “This is our first flight and we’ve prepared rigorously for it. But no amount of ground testing or mission simulations are a replacement for flying this rocket. It’s time to fly. No matter what happens, we’ll learn, refine, and apply that knowledge to our next launch.”

Getting there. Going to reprint the tray in PLA (has the characteristic PETG warp). Probably grey, but will keep the purple keystone panel and orange jack. Also I love Wago lever nuts. Duplexer tuning tomorrow hopefully. #RickPi #hamradio #cdr700

Furries, trans people, and sexual workers built this site, and are responsible for its fun vibes. But this is because we've been pushed out of other spaces by those who control the rest of culture. The "normals".

You want Bluesky to stay fun? Respect and listen to us freaks and weirdos

Jimmy Carter was a Christian politician who actually sought to model the teachings of Christ even after leaving politics, rather than using Christianity as a political bludgeon against his opponents or as a tool of supremacy in the godforsaken "culture wars."

I feel dirty having done this. Pancake duplexer cavity for 450MHz and the previous owner broke an "ear" off a tuning slug screw. 6-hr epoxy and a 8-32 nut hopefully won't mess up tuning for this. #hamradio #duplexer #tuning

I keep saying that Christian Nationalists are nothing more than American ISIS/ Taliban.
The American Taliban on the march.
According to a new report, doctors in abortion ban states described hospital lawyers who:

•“Refused to meet” with them for months.
•Were hard to reach during “life or death” situations.
•Offered little help beyond “regurgitating” the law.
