if you like a post where a person is talking about killing themselves that means that you like that that person wants to kill themselves, there is no other interpretation for the wording x has liked your post that i can infer in good faith and this is why i tell people not to like my negative posts unless they like that i'm in misery because if you want to convey anything else you have 26 letters and punctuation at your disposal

Hive mind here's a weird problem. If I measure the resistance across what I believe is a carbon steel ball bearing, that I've scrubbed with steel wool and then washed with acetone, the resistance between the probe points is a rapidly fluctuating number between 30 and 800 ohms. If I do the same thing with a carbon steel file it's steady at about 0.5 ohms. Any guesses about why a ball bearing acts like this?

these distances used to be the same which means that now on New Discord:tm: i constantly feel like my chat is scrolled up instead of caught up at the bottom

getting extremely sick of seeing other trans women getting excited about contrapoints as if she isn't the most 'f*ck you got mine' assimilationist on the planet who has happily sold the poor trannies who can't make rent or meds without begging online out for the chance to be that pretty thin white woman on the internet peddling disguised right wing talking points under bisexual lighting.

today i 3d printed a new hotend fan shroud and then proceeded to immediately break the fan that attaches to it so now i need to wait until a new one gets delivered to 3d print any new parts

netizen.club/~wildweasel/updat - Can a game console treading water truly be saved by the presence of Golf Game? Well not really, or at least this one probably didn't help much!

more indie games should come out with "join the forums" rather than "join the discord"

@mavica_again "European Distrbution Business" sounds like the name of a company used as a mob front.

@mavica_again

Interesting - that Serial # is actually the Dell Service tag (was not expecting that) works to get you this:
dell.com/support/product-detai

but closest you get to any identifying info is "European Distrbution Business"
