My OCD has superpower aspects. Advocates monthly town meetings at Dunkin' in breakaway NE. Dreams of being an economist. Assume it's a failed attempt at humor. Don't want the drama.

I'm seeing printers for like $10-20 and this is $60. Worth it?

I am sure this quality and junk is junk, but I'm thinking gift for my partner so thoughts?

I remember when Bernie ran in 1998 (still Rep) they hired a big op research firm who came back with "We think he's a socialist".

Like, that was in his stump speech.

It does not look like you toasted the muffin. Not sure I'm on board with this.

I don't think they're very good at this. Fascism is a lot harder than it looks and is very tiring.

Here's my generous take: I think he's making the "big fucking truck" argument that folks are turning off potential allies.

And, yes, many lefties can't imagine anyone liking this renovation or having a big truck.

That said, Trump has no taste.

Why would he grab all of the candy?

The candy wealth people are distributing their holdings to anyone who comes to the door and doling it out equally. It's candy wealth distribution in action. Very socialist.

Musk would grab. Or eat it in front of the kids from a big bowl and not share.

I wonder if I spray the receipt with that art spray that keeps pencil drawings from smudging if that would set it?

Of course, not everything needs to last forever.

Thanks for the links, info.

I read Mr. Roger's took photos with new people he met, and I started trying to take more selfies when I went out. It would be neat to then print my going to, say, a bar and the printing that selfie on the receipt for that night out.

I guess it was iron, too. I'm not clicking a lot of links to deep dive because a) I don't care enough, b) I don't want to give this crap my time and clicks. But, still, people don't really understand science and I could see a mom putting a refrigerator magnet in there and surprised at powder.

What printer is this? Neat.

To be fair, earlier in the week stores started to put up their Xmas displays.

If you drop any random object in a powder it comes out with that powder stuck to it because static, etc.

But the powder is the powder, not extracted elements of that powder. At the consumer stage, it's a dehydrated solution not a mixture of ingredients.

I don't think socialist is the scary insult in New York that Cuomo thinks it is.

A teacher friend did this in the town she works in and it became a thing the school board discussed.

I was going with "Thanks, Obama" but that works.

I think it tracks with college getting more expensive.

I was able to bust my ass in the summer and pay for college (state school) with some contribution from my parents. Now, students need their parents to sign for loans, offer insurance and there is also an entitlement (cars, phones, ebikes!!!)

This is the correct view.

Long ago on AMAZING RACE were the "Bowling Moms" who cranked through every task: Making bricks from a mold in India was like bread in a pan; putting together a trisikad in Manila was just a kid's bike on Xmas morning. Etc. They weren't superhuman, just moms. They made it to the final episode.
