New Trump rule allows hunters to bait bears in Alaska with doughnuts, bacon and more in c/news@lemmy.world

"The move comes after Alaska and federal officials in recent years started allowing sport hunters to hunt big game with controversial practices, like shooting bears from helicopters, shooting swimming caribou from motor boats, killing wolf pups in their dens and using artificial lights to draw bears out of the dens to kill them."

Disgusting.

    I have two questions about this:

    1. Why do Americans use these machines? Just turn up at the polling station, confirm your name and address, get handed your ballot paper, mark it with an X, drop it in the box. Bish bash bosh.

    2. What the fuck is with that weird "news reporter voice" they always do on American news!? Just speak normally.

    They claim the stabbed pilot came and opened the door for them while the other one was "trying to destroy the instruments in order to disable the plane", like he was just randomly smashing dials or something. Then the passenger that got into the cockpit dragged him out in a chokehold and the other passengers apparently tied him up "with his own zip ties and with the multimedia headphones", which is terribly convenient. Then the passenger flew the plane for a bit because he watches Air Crash Investigators, until another pilot appeared and landed in Tabuk.

    What's the typical life assurance in a US company? Surely they pay out that rather than just childcare? In previous jobs I've had it was 4 times annual salary, but my current is 6 times.

    Karoline Leavitt on Keir Starmer in c/unitedkingdom@feddit.uk

    Works for me. She says she was in the UK on an official visit having lunch somewhere she can't remember but thinks it might be Windsor Castle or "where Starmer lives", and Trump starts rambling, telling Sir Keir his policies are bad, immigration is too high, and people don't like it, which she says her and Stephen Miller found amusing.

    Fuck. My. Life. 🙃 (i.imgur.com)
     

    Full brims, mouse ears, with glue, without glue, higher bed temperature, lower bed temperature, flat base, concentric cutout base - whatever I try, I seem to be getting wank adhesion, major warping, and ultimately this shitshow.

    Dry PLA, warm room, no draught, plate cleaned with IPA. I'm going to fucking punch this thing in its stupid fucking face.

    Edit: Prevailing advice very much seems to be to bust out the Fairy liquid and give it a good scrub, so I'll try that. It's a Kobra Neo 2 so is auto-levelling, so I can't piss around with any of that stuff (as far as I know). Another quick question while I think about it, does everyone always print onto the bed at ~60°C? Because Orca Slicer's default for a textured PEI plate is 45°C, which seems mad. I think I tried it once and it was shite so turned it back up to 60.
