Probably better off with an angle grinder than a sawzall but they make good metal blades for the sawzall that should work too. Targeting mounting bolts should be faster than cutting through the pole itself, but potentially more fixable.

2·3 days agoIf progressives who don’t abandon trans people weren’t regularly polling better than the centrists I’d take this seriously. You need a winnable platform to make any progress at all. But the numbers are not particularly supporting the reality the old guard is projecting.

The problem is that proper communism is functionally impossible, and every crackpot despot in the last hundred years has wanted to get a little street credit with the working class by slapping socialism or communism on their brand.

2·8 days agoWhen you’re really depressed, simple barriers like that can make a big difference. I believe antidepressants can sometimes cause suicide because the patient finally feels ready to go out of their daily routine and get it done. And I can tell you anecdotally that if my mom kept a gun in my house I’d have been dead for over 20 years now. But all my options were unreliable or painful, so I just hid in my hole instead.

2·8 days agoNot sure about pills, but most of East Asia has a special hatred for drugs because of the opium crisis back in the 1800s or so. Sometimes I wonder if all the fentanyl coming from China or made with Chinese precurso ingredients is subtle revenge.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why the water to make the medication work?
5·11 days agoI’ve found caffeine, and especially whatever they put in energy drinks, only interacts with my body in a helpful way when I’m not dehydrated. A Monster on a sweaty day does not get my ditches dug unless I’m chugging water too. Sorry I have no insight why, but maybe your med is a little like that.
Or perhaps it will cause the buildup of something toxic in your system if you aren’t drinking enough water to flush it or its metabolic byproducts out.

224·14 days agoThe rape allegation is pretty credible. Unless they’ve fabricated old texts and emails and gotten multiple people to lie about hearing her talk about it, it’s legit. I have been a staunch Platner supporter and fought through a lot of bullshit and bad-faith Astroturfing against him, but this one isn’t setting off my bullshit alarms. And it will kill his campaign.
However, if he drops, there are three solid options. First is Troy Jackson, an older guy who will vote exactly the same but looks like he golfs instead of like he kills people. Or Janet Mills, which would be a little frustrating but honestly pretty good as old-guard Dems go. Forgot the name of the third, but she’s a young woman with progressive stances and would also be great. Odds are Platner will drop out and one of them will get the nomination by some emergency means, likely not a proper election.
I hope it’s Troy Jackson. He did decently in the primary and is the best drop-in replacement for Platner.

8212·14 days agoIt was a skull and crossbones and he got it converted into a celtic knot with dogs on it, very quickly. Then eight billion bots tried to tell me he was a homophobe because he said “All officers are gay, and not in the fun dick-sucking way” on Reddit in like 2012. I really didn’t buy that, and it primed me to get pretty dismissive of the noise pretty quickly.
Not even that. I’m pretty sure domus is conjugated in a way that doesn’t fit in the sentence at all. I don’t know how to express the error faithfully in English, but “Romanses are going. House.” might be the closest I can put it.
It’s “Romans go home” in shitty Latin that’s wrong in about one to three ways from what little I can remember.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Would it be better to just have a lot of society be underground?
9·16 days agoThe tradeoff for resilience in emergencies is that the if the ventilation fails hard enough, everyone who can’t get out suffocates. Flooding, as you guessed, is also a serious probelm. Everything that can flood a basement now floods a living space.
Heat and AC are normally going to cost less, but the cost of construction, maintenance, and modification of the structure are way higher and generally kinda dangerous. Not worth it.
