    Hello! I don’t intend to convince anyone one way is better than another, but I wanted to share why I like the mm/dd/yy format.

    Simple reason, the number of possible integers increases as you go left to right.

    That’s all, got it out of my system. Thank you for reading.




  • I was curious, so I tried to find the article. Here is an excerpt from NPR that I found first:

    Panama sends 97 U.S. deportees to migrant camp after they refused to be repatriated
    PANAMA CITY — Panama transferred about one-third of the deportees from various nations it had received from the United States to a camp in its Darien province Wednesday, an area that became the main thoroughfare for migrants traveling from South America to the U.S. border in recent years, security officials said late Wednesday.
    The migrants sent to Darien had refused to voluntarily be repatriated to their countries and will be held there until third countries can be found to take them, said a Panamanian official familiar with the situation who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the matter.

    Please correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems like the US sent the deportees to Panama, and all of this is happening at their governments discretion. Obviously they are in this situation because of the US, which I am not happy about, but it doesn’t seem to follow that the Trump regime is sending people to concentration camps based on this event.

    Edit: Someone else linked the original article, which has more details.

    Context, the deportees aren’t even all from Central / South America. At least one mentioned was Iranian. So it seems the US is just sending people to Panama who didn’t even necessarily originate from there, so that the US doesn’t have to deal with them anymore. Seems disgusting.




  • The best low hassle printing is going to be resin. You can get a decent Elegoo or Anycubic model for only a few hundred dollars. The only real hassle is cutting supports, washing your prints, and curing the resin. In my experience, water washable resin is the way to go.

    Of course, depending on what you are printing, you may not have as much use for a resin printer.

    Obligatory ventilate your work area and use your ppe.

    Edit: not sure why downvotes. Is this sub anti-resin?


  • This is why I love the elves in Eberron so much. They have a strong culture of ancestor worship, and practice the only “positive” form of necromancy. Positive in the sense that it does not rely on magic from the world or others, only yourself and the object of worship. By doing so, they maintain a court of their deceased who continue to govern and advise the nation.
    Sure, you can learn how to fight well with a sword in a few years, but it takes a dozen or more to learn how to fight exactly like the long-dead patriarch of your family line.
    After spending decades learning how to be like one of their ancestors, they often go out into the world to walk the same paths.
