The first place to start is making sure the motor is getting power and working backwards upstream from there to the control board and then from the control switches back to the control board. Diagnosing a control board failure is a bit more complicated.

The two party system is so entrenched that voting 3rd party is a vote for the other guy that is bad. You wouldn’t want to vote for the bad guy, so vote for our good guy instead of throwing away your vote on the 3rd party.

The parties do, not the people.

We absolutely need to go after FFLs that allow for guns to make it to the streets.

The biggest cause of firearms deaths is suicide, that can’t be addressed by going after guns. You have to address all the other bigger problems. Doing so will also address suicide, mental health, economic prospects, and other causes of drug overdoses, crimes including murder, alcoholism, etc.

You can’t address gun violence by going after guns, you need to go after the actual problems and not the symptom.

Hopefully his last days are peaceful and without a Trump in his mind.

In most of the country, anyone without a criminal record can buy a machine gun and doesn’t need these trigger devices. Only 13 states have outright bans.

This is such a non-issue, you can convert an AR-15 to fire full auto with a coat hanger or two pieces of metal cut with a hacksaw and a file or a 3d printer. AK, AKS, Mini-14, M14, or M4 carbines can go full auto with only a shoelace. Then there is bump firing, you don’t need a special stock to do that, some people accidentally do that just because they don’t hold the rifle tight enough.

How about we work on why there is gun crime instead? Reduce the cost of living, increase wages on the bottom 50%, create better opportunities for small businesses, decrease the cost of higher education, promote trades as a career path, lower the cost of housing, increase the supply of low cost housing, improve public transit in urban areas, implement a severe progressive tax without loopholes, and build in-person community instead of allowing digital isolation through harassment.

Do you know nothing of county/state fairs and various city festivals? Crab and crawfish boils? Rodeos? School shootings? Taco Tuesday?

But seriously, you are framing culture in the context of race and that is un-American. American culture is all cultures that we integrate. Other countries that are more homogeneous in their heritage only have their culture from their heritage, America has their culture and like 5 other ones that we draw from to make a culture as diverse as our population. Americans, regardless of genetic heritage, enjoy a rich tapestry of culture as our culture.

Go to another country and try to find Mexican, Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Indian, Ethiopian, Arabic, German, and Irish food. I can drive in a direction and hit all of those in any major American city and stop in somewhere for a burger or pizza. That is American culture.

Go to another country and try to celebrate the Chinese New Year, Eid, Hanukkah, Christmas, Holi, and Kwanza. I can do that every year. That is American culture.

You say that is everything and nothing, I say that is America and I am proud that we can’t be so narrowly defined and have the freedom to enjoy all the cultures our people bring to the table.

True

Could the Dems stand agreeing with anything Trump wants to do?

Nope, decided by delegates. I vote for who I want and the party decides who they want.

If elections were decided by popular vote, I would have more motivation.

I am absolutely a non-voter. I am in a Dem majority county and state. So my vote does not matter in the slightest. A Rep flipping my area has about as much as a fart in the wind offending a bloodhound upwind.

The only reason that happened is because the progressive left pushed moderates right with a poor platform and pandering.

If they had a decent platform that wasn’t based on orange man bad, maybe they could come up with something of value to campaign on and win.

You mean the Democrats needs to actually campaign on and deliver what the majority of their potential voters want.

Shame they will double down on their failed strategy and not understand why they can’t capture moderates.

Water alone won’t help much, using steam can. Putting a damp towel down and using an iron over the problem areas can sometimes affect the dents a variable amount.

Depending on how good the varnish is, that will determine how well it works.

How to increase playtimes and artificially lengthen the story by getting players lost AF in one easy step.

Which is why I have never played Fortnite, Destiny, GTAO, and have hundreds of hours in Brotato, Binding of Isaac, Stardew Valley, and thousands of hours in Fallout and TES.

I guess it would depend on the live service.

If God of War live service was you being a custom demi-god in that Universe with 1000hrs of reasonable grind MPARPG gameplay, good story, and a skill tree you couldn’t re-spec easily, I might be onboard.

If we are talking a GoW MOBA with loot box reskins, die in a fire the hard way.

I’m not even ultralight. I have a framed pack and a whole toothbrush. Those guys are nuts.

My first backpacking trip, my bag was 40lbs. I said fuck that jazz, and now my pack is 20lbs and it has made trips so much better.

Or what you put in a storage unit that is inconveniently far away. I still need those 5mm magnets…
