The filament’s a week out of the vacuum sealed bag - other than running it through the dryer to be safe, how can I tell it needs to be dried?

Will run through the guide, thanks.

You get the help you pay for. If a Smart Person has a choice between taking a job in the private sector and a job in the public sector, and the public sector isn’t competitive, then the people working for America are going to be the dregs that couldn’t get a private sector job.

Americans should want public servants to be smart and effective, and to get those people, you have to pay them.

A Meal Team Six joke that took the Capitol.

From the article: “It is unknown what DEFCON1 means.”

It means nuclear war is happening or is about to happen.

Nuclear. Goddamned. War.

Drive these nutbars into the sea and keep them there.

My boss gave me stupid directions - stuff I knew was wrong or inefficient. I tried to convince her otherwise, she wasn’t having it, and I’m in trouble if I don’t do what she says. Fine, I’ll follow your stupid orders, no problem. My dad taught me, “If they want a little bullshit, give 'em a little bullshit.”

Then in a meeting with her and her boss, I get asked why I did the stupid thing. “Well, I was directed specifically do to that very thing.”

He says to me, with her right there, “Well, you need to take responsibility for your actions.”

Started applying the next day, now have a team working for me who are great, and my greatest fear is giving them stupid directions.

In Putinist Russia, government fuck YOU!
