Been seeing a lot more people that are aware of/support Henry George. Makes the heart warm.

This seems like an infinite step up from having to be in the office for 60-80 hours a week just to look impressive, while accomplishing little after the 35 hour mark. I would take this lady's position in a heartbeat.

But when we're talking antennas, do I need to get a big one that I need to try and get above the tree line, or does it boost signal penetration?

I have a question about how easy the signal is to block. I live in a somewhat mountains, densely forested area. Do devices need to have direct line or sight to communicate? Wanted to set this up as a potential back up communication source for grid outages and keep a device in each car.

I don't understand. Is this a comment on Trump, Cheney, or the average voter?

I'm just saying you don't want to trade the swamp king for the swamp princess. That was just an example of the things Liz Cheney believes in.

You don't want Liz Cheney's help. This isn't an enemy of my enemy situation, or a lesser of two evils. You'd be trading one bad for a different but equally bad. You want to go back to Iraq and Afghanistan? She'd put us back in Iraq and Afghanistan if she could.

I'm definitely not gonna disagree with you. Gotta take friends where you can get them, these days. The difference I would say is in intent. I want workers rights so we can go back to a traditional one income household with a married couple and lots of kids, that's what I mean by conservative position. But if people want to take that freedom to try out other stuff like DINK household with plenty of economic security, or a stay at home dad situation, or quality affordable daycare, more power to them. Can't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. As long as quality of life is improving, I won't turn my nose up at it, just cause it doesn't match my traditional religious conservative ideas of society.

Similar story, except I joined the Air Force. 8 still consider myself somewhat social conservative, but distanced myself from the party and the messaging years ago. I would say that it's not necessarily a conservative position just because the RNC says it. I'm pro labor now, and I think of it as a very conservative position, as worker empowerment would empower families to make more choices and would hopefully improve the birth rate. All that to say, don't give up on your principles and beliefs just because the political machine corrupted things.

What's the expected shipping timeline on batch 18?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

Really early on, with the original castle sets, where all the wall pieces were yellow. I believe the space sets were the first grey bricks.

The LEGO group has always been protective of their brand and nervous about being associated with potentially violent content, turning down a partnership with the Halo games because of that. For years, they didn't want to make grey bricks because they were afraid kids would use them to build tanks. All this to say, this seems pretty on brand for the LEGO group.
