Bannon vows Trump’s opponents will be prosecuted in a second term | CNN Politics ( edition.cnn.com )

Steve Bannon, a longtime ally of Donald Trump, vowed investigations and prosecutions of those who have probed the former president and his political allies, declaring at a conservative gathering Saturday that Inauguration Day in 2025 will be “accountability day.”...

Motherfucker, what do you think has been happening for years???

If I have a USB powered device, could I leave it plugged into a portable power bank (like the kind you charge your phone with) as a power outage backup?

Basically as the title says. We have semi frequent power outages where I live. The noise machine in my daughter's room goes out and wakes her up. If I were to buy a USB powered one, plug it into a power bank like one of those 10000ma ones you get for charging cell phones, would it have continuous power. Basically like a cheap...

As long as the battery bank supplies sufficient power continuously, it would certainly power it! If it doesn't, you'd have to look at a battery bank to power the device but I'd bet your daughter's noise machine is likely going to work fine on anything.

However, skatrek47 brings up a good point: The battery would need to just be powering the machine (unless you had an automatic cutover, but that seems like overkill for this application).

For your use case, I'd say just run it off the battery all the time and charge it once the battery gets around 20%.

There's USB batteries that'll do passthrough charging too, but keeping a battery charged all the time will kill it, so you might as well just use the battery.

If you wanted to go nuts, you could get an APC or something but that would be pretty silly for this.

Hey, remember how it's shitty to do things like this? Us Americans don't like it when other countries do it to us, right? Maybe let's all stop with this bullshit, huh?

Get a shapton 1000 grit ceramic whetstone, they're excellent and not terribly expensive.

Those 4 sided ones are neat and all, but a decent stone will give you a better edge especially if you combine it with stropping.

I hate to suggest r*ddit, but r/sharpening was pretty good

Get a honing steel if you don't already have one to help maintain the edge as you use the blade too, I keep one in the kitchen.

YouTube would probably be another place with good sharpening tutorials but you really just need a stone or two, an old leather belt to use as a strop, some stropping paste, and a honing steel. Shouldn't cost more than $50-60 total.

The stones eventually wear down of course, but they'll last a good while and you can flatten them when they start to dish.

I've never really given that any thought lol, I couldn't even tell you the brand I have, I just looked up "stropping paste". It's some green stuff that came in a white capsule.

I wonder if there's a sharpening community on Lemmy or magazine on Mbin/Kbin....

If we could figure out how to use it to make sustainable reactors, we could probably produce a fuckton of energy? It can help us better understand our universe and advance science?

Why wouldn't it matter???

It is patterned for some people: Freckles, moles, vitiligo, etc.

There are patterns we can't even perceive too.

For the purpose of answering the question though, I'd want chromataphors I can change at will!

Yep, there's a good chunk of the light spectrum we can't perceive and so the patterns that reflect them are invisible to us.

Orrrr, hear me out: Defect and surrender are also options.

Air Seat aims to put full-floating suspension under cyclists' butts ( newatlas.com )

Nobody likes getting a sore bum when cycling. The Air Seat is made with that fact in mind, as it adds what is described as a "full-floating" coil suspension system to existing saddles.

I hope he does, that would be hilarious. I don't think I'll ever get tired of seeing him get his ass handed to him in court.

If you see a fawn alone outside, don't worry about it, just leave it. The mom will be back later.

They commonly leave them chilling in various places while they go to forage during the day, it's normal behavior and you do not need to intervene.

My teacher said I had an "apple face", apparently it's supposed to be a compliment but kid me got pissed and felt insulted.

Look out kid's science project, your luck has just run out.

Oh yeah, also that CCP spy thingy too I guess.

I really doubt they could pull that off, even with the US court system, but even if they did, the backlash would be fucking spectacular and would probably ultimately result in speeding up the trend of Linux friendly gaming.

Imagine walking down the street, enjoying your old-timey cigarette: You hear a commotion from the second floor of the building you're walking by, when suddenly you get a bunch of liquid dumped on you and you find yourself engulfed in a boozey firestorm.

Yeah, but think of all that value generated for shareholders in America: What's a few million dead people compared to profit?

Looks like people do care though so I guess your point doesn't really stand now does it?

Also, that shitgibbon's name is on the mugs and people already know what the meme is, so that point doesn't really stand either.
