Then what do you mean? No firefighters were running, therefore what? What would be the correct action for a person to take when voting in the 2024 presidential election?

You're making a lot of assumptions here. I don't even know what you think you are arguing against.

You seemed to be arguing for not voting or voting third party rather than voting for Harris with the whole "firefighters" analogy.

I was pointing out that by many not voting, or by voting third party, we've ended up with someone who is not only not a firefighter, to continue you analogy, but someone who is actively setting the fires.

Now I hate democracy and progressives and Palestinians apparently? You've broken the thread here.

I'm mostly dealing with light ripstop fabrics. So yea, it doesn't apply great to more solid fabrics.

The table's surface is tempered glass. Then I have a paper template on that. Then I hot cut the ripstop right on top of the paper template with a soldering iron. If I go quick enough, the paper doesn't burn. The paper does degrade over multiple uses, but I've been able to use the same blueprint ~8 times before holes start showing up.

For context, I'm a kite maker. I used to use projection more. I got some old school projector second hand and used that for a while.

Here's a build video I did with that approach: https://youtu.be/IFeKcfedoGs

I've since moved to printed blueprints and a backlit glass table. Here's a different build video I made using that: https://youtu.be/PQYh0GU2pvE

So we allowed the arsonist to get the position when we could have had someone who was at worst ineffective.

Clearly, the statue was carried by ocean currents south from New York, through the Panama canal, then back north where it washed ashore at the tip of the Baja peninsula in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

This is depicting empty metal shelving. What looks like rails for a train is the lip of a shelf. What looks like the near-side of the tracks is the floor, and what looks like the far side of the tracks is the top of the shelving. That little balcony seems to be some place for displaying featured products of some sort.

Definitely hard to break the image of a train platform though.

I have a couple touch bar macs, and the touch bar is fine.

However, I installed Ubuntu on one of my touch bar macs. The keyboard has no physical escape key; that would be on the touch bar. So, my Ubuntu touch bar Mac now has no escape key, which is a bit problematic, so having a fix for that would be cool.

It is not a big deal for me, since I'm just using it as a server, but it could be a deal breaker for using a touch bar Mac with Linux as a PC.

That might be true for people who are hopping between cars all the time or something. I don't see how this applies to the typical driver though.

I think the premise is that they are strangers playing a game online. They are not in the same place, and they each have their own couches.

I don't think I could see that sign and not tear it down

The person you are replying to is talking about pink sky being built on bluesky, and you equate that to Lemmy being based on Reddit. One is a hard technical dependency, and the other is a conceptual inspiration.

You are engaging in an equivocation fallacy, and I think you know that. You even try to sneak it in by switching to a different but similar word (built->based) with a different meaning, then you switched back again to "built" while using the term in the same way you used "based", then you start using other phrasing to obscure it even more. You are gaslighting with word games to try and get people to not notice your fallacy. It's super dishonest.
