    How the fuck do you know if it is literal or not? Every single thing attached to Epstein is disgusting and depraved; an old dude giving another old dude a BJ is the least insane story to come out of this.

    Why are you even trying to wave this away? Joke or not Donald had close ties with Epstein until the very end, that should be the bigger story because he has clearly been lying his ass off again. I honestly couldn’t give two shits if the orange fuck has had a dick in his mouth, but it would be absolutely hilarious if true. Plus, if people joke about this enough he’s going to address it publicly which would be so fucking funny to watch.

    okay… and? This still makes it look a whole lot like trump and his buddies were very well intertwined with a convicted sex trafficker long after his depravity was revealed. It’s a lot less funny if trump didn’t blow clinton but that would be the least disgusting thing he did on the island.


  • Obviously fuck Israel but I have a bit of a different gripe with this thing.

    I got into 3d printing to reduce waste, mainly to repair old stuff but plastic waste is still something I try and reduce as much as possible. This toolhead is a plastic wasting machine, not a printing one. I cannot for the life of me justify buying not one but two long thin tubes of liquid only to split the tube in half and only use the goo inside. And then they have the audacity to charge fucking $1100 for it. The XL is already overpriced for it’s performance, this is just adding insult to injury.




  • I haven’t been to my local IMAX theater in nearly a decade because the sound system went to absolute shit and they still haven’t updated it.

    Even before I went down the audio rabbit hole I felt it was a huge upgrade just having a cheap pair of bookshelf speakers and decent looking TV. Now with OLED becoming ubiquitous it’s too easy to make an amazing setup that doesn’t break the bank. Theaters need to do some drastic changes to bring back their value, but honestly it might just be better leaving them in the history books.

    Hot take: if you add way more garlic than the recipe calls for then you aren’t chopping it finely enough.

    I used to triple the amount of garlic until I started to make fresh garlic paste instead of just dicing the clove. The difference it makes cannot be overstated and it allows other flavors in the dish to shine side-by-side with the garlic instead of having spontaneous garlic bursts.

    Thank you, it was more of a happy accident but I’m very pleased this worked out.

    I’m not sure of the species, but it might be a funnel web spider’s burrow? I didn’t stick around long enough to see the spider, I just assume it’s quite venomous and treaded carefully.



  • The roller links are what you want lubricated and protected, and wax stays in those places much better than liquid lubes. While some chunks will flake off there is a thin layer left behind, I ride near the ocean pretty frequently and had worse rust problems when I was using lube. Ofc whatever works for you is the best practice but wax has been very easy for me. I track my rides, after about 150 miles I re-wax the chain. I’ve never found that I have to check it more often, but I also ride steel frames so I don’t ride in the rain anyways.


  • A quick tip on bike chains; if you are using lubricant you should never use heavy degreaser on the chain. The factory oil is the best lubricant and normal lubes don’t penetrate between links enough.

    However, if you are going to degrease you chains, you should use paraffin wax instead of lube. I have an 11 speed chain with 3000+ miles and it’s only showing around 1% stretch. I don’t even use fancy bike specific wax, just food grade gulf wax. Another plus is the whole drive train is dry; doesn’t get your hands dirty if you need to remove a wheel, cassette, or derailleur.

    Admittedly waxing the chain is a pain in the ass, but some of my chains are like $70 a pop so getting as much life from them is more important.
