Eh. I see arguments both ways. Public votes makes it easier to catch bad faith (downvote bots) and manipulation. However, it allows abuse from touchy or unscrupulous mods. TBH, I’m personally more concerned with the bots. Everything is federated to one can pickup and move elsewhere of they’re on the receiving end of such a mod.
For those who missed it, the “procedural error” was:
When a proposed rule will cause an impact of more than $100M, a preliminary regulatory analysis is required. The FTC determined that the impact would be under $100M, so did not do the preliminary regulatory analysis. The court decided that the impact was more than $100M, causing the “procedural error” after the fact.
Either it’s a bad faith ruling, or, there’s even more reason that the rule is necessary as that would mean that companies are leeching off more than $100M from customers through shady and anti-consumer tactics.
Cat in the Hat. Kid’s got a while life ahead of them to get depressed about the vile things humans have done (and still do) to each other. Let the kid have a few months of happiness.

That’s also what I read from that.
Sounds like the American Baptists should get on that. Then again, they believe strongly in separation of church and state.
(They’re the sect that remains of the original Triennial Convention AKA Baptists, after the Slaver Southern Baptists left because they didn’t like the idea of chattel slavery being considered wrong. Seriously. The split occurred because they refused to ordain a guy from Georgia as a missionary in 1844, on account of him being slaver trash.
The modern Southern Baptist Church, horrifyingly the largest sect of protestant Christianity in the US, is directly descended from them, and it shows.)
barely any hills to speak of
Donegal: Forgotten once again.
ETA - Also Connemara: Cad é an fuck?
And they always whine about one thing or another.
Funny how centuries of oppression, being alienated from their native language, and multiple unacknowledged genocides will do that to a people.
Nostradamus rules. Galleons. So, they’re saying that we’re bring back the age of sail.
Oof. Mine’s just under half that and I get that exactly. Went to replace an outdoor step about a month ago, just to discover that the deck wasn’t built to code and will need to be replaced. Everything is like that, either because the previous owner cut corners or the place is just old (like doorframes being out of square and changing by how much with the season).
As someone with AuADHD, can confirm that parenthetical statements are likely an ADHD thing (I use a lot of them).
Seeing the other comments here, definitely make sure that they are suitable for your walls. What works well for drywall, might be terrible for lath and plaster walls.
😯 Oh no! I’m so used to dry-wall/gypsum board that I forget that lath and plaster exists.
I’m not super familiar (just DIY) but, I think that you can make a patch that’s structural enough to take a new anchor. Definitely would need to be sure that there’s enough lath for our to hold onto and likely would want some fiberglass mesh tape to reinforce it.
Looks to be a bit of a pain (cleaning hole corners, using patching plaster and bonding agent, waiting for cure, etc). However, if done right, I think it would be sturdier than a typical patch in drywall.
Do consult someone who knows about the stuff though, like a professional plaster person or builder.
Thanks for that! Very cool way to show how they work. My problem is usually that they deform prematurely (when being pressed into place). Might be a quality issue.
I hate these things. They deform far too easily. Toggle bolts and other metallic anchors are so much nicer to deal with.
Forced relocation?.. That’s also literally in the definition of genocide under international law.

Fake. This isn’t the War Thunder forums.
Safeway’s bakery or the local Korean donut place after easy winners over both, IMO.
