For all you know, if they attack, he might give them the middle finger and blow there faces off. How do you know he won't strike back? Its what the people would want.

Depends, are you making over 250k?
You get tax cuts if you're making under 200k, no difference if > then 200k and less then 250k and more taxes if you're making over 250k.

> 2) It's only a matter of time before terrorists strike again. They know Obama won't strike back.

It's funny you said that, especially that some people referred to his name "Hussein" as being terrorist (Oriental) name (Let's not forget that not every living thing in Orient is terrorist material). And it is indeed true, Hussein is an oriental name. Why would they attack one of their own?

At least, that would be how they see it. Without mentionning the fact that Obama is, too, such a name.

Because he won't. He's going to be worried about restoring America's image to the world, and blowing the shit out of a country that we think has terrorists in it won't do that.

He's full of shit. There is no way he can do all this stuff he wants to without raising taxes. It's not possible, especially right now.

Uh... is this sarcasm or a joke or am I not understanding it right?

I hope you know that there are other ways to do this.
You can cut government spending in other, unneeded areas.
McCains plan was to hit the government with a hatchet, freezing every program but a few. Obama will go at it with a scalpel and that won't generate as much free cash as the hatchet idea but it will be better if each program is considered.

No it won't. All that's going to do is make the government big, probably make me lose my job (and then I go back to Russia), take too long, and still leave us without enough money for his little services.

Let's get rid of the EPA.

And don't tell me what words I can't use because you don't feel they go along with your beliefs.

My Environmentalist Powers summoned me here :p

Even though it's the least powerful organization in the United States, it's probably the most important. America has a sole duty (or at least we act like it) to be (or pretend to be) the leader of the Earth. Setting a good example for other countries. We have one Earth, and it's our fault if we mess it up... and if anything, We Americans have class so we shouldn't embarrass ourselves and kill our planet in this process... So I ask you sir, So do you really want us to banish this planet to a deathly rock where no life can ever live or do you wish to keep living on this planet for generations to come?

That is all my friend, That is all I have to say :thdown:

Being that the EPA does almost nothing of remote use to anyone, I see no reason to give them six billion a year. I mean, I COULD use a little bit of a raise, and I think that would cover it nicely.

And yes, that's fine with me. Although I think that line about class was pretty funny. I gave you rep for it.

The "Class" part was a joke BTW xD

Anyway - I thought Obama was going to win, but didn't think it would be this far ahead (in elector votes)

I was stunned how much of a clear victory it was for him, if it wasnt for bushes bad rep, it would have been a close race.

Yeah I think it was pretty obvious he was going to win. Because who elects the president? Congress. Who is in control of Congress? Democrats. Who is a democrat? Obama. Who does Obama not like? Bush. Who did Bush endorse and be friends with Bush? McCain! Democrat + Congress - Republican (*2) = Previously Unknown Democrat + President (*4)

Didn't he get his lead when McCain said that the US had a good economy and everything crashed the same day? :p

I wanted to hear a "Allah bless you" instead of "God bless you" in the end of his speech. Too bad.

What McCain said was that the fundimentals of the economy is strong, which means the idea which our economy is based on is a solid idea (which it is), though our economy is currently struggling.

Speaking of dumb things the candidates have said:
-"I've now been in 57 states -- I think one left to go." - Barrack Obama, Beaverton, Oregon

-"It's not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion..." -Barrack Obama talking about rural towns

-“Look, John’s last-minute economic plan does nothing to tackle the number one job facing the middle class, and it happens to be, as Barack says, a three-letter word: jobs. J-O-B-S” -Joe Biden



And now these guys are soon to be the leaders of this country.. Ironic, ain't it?

But I guess everyone slips up once in a while, especially when you're in the media nearly 24/7. That's no excuse, though, for the comment Obama made about small town Americans, that one he knew what he was saying, he didn't know it was being recorded.

Obama's comment about small towns happens to be pretty close to the truth, though. I wouldn't hold it against him.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
