No, the plastic parts are sockets and the aluminum rods do not connect to each other. The rods are not stock round profiles—they have a slightly trapezoidal profile and fairly thick wall. This is the special sauce of Helinox’s parent compan

Imagining a drawer made out of PCBs, in which you store hobby wood. Maybe boards should all incorporate a standard slot-and-tab system to turn them into a building toy instead of ewaste.

What kind of case do you put these in? Or do people run naked boards?

I only had the original Pixelmator, but while it was superfast and Mac-like, it felt amateur next to Affinity, which feels like the Adobe replacement it’s angling to be. But each is $70 flat and I know Affinity has sales that make it a stea

Reply to sibling: lol, Lightfoot is not a progressive. Toni Preckwinkle was the progressive candidate. Anyone can claim the label, but if the teacher’s union hates you and you’re a former prosecutor, you might not be a progressive. I specif

The issue is that the people in power are not progressives, or have not gotten full support and the time needed to enact change. Establishment Democrats are just as pro-punishment as Republicans; take the President’s history as a legislator

> 50 million people nationwide Seems high. Got a source? Being a decentralized movement, I doubt that all BLM supporters support defunding the police.

I use it just about any time I'm buying something on Amazon that isn't from a trusted brand's store.

Might be waiting a while. What are you willing to pay for that product? Personally, I'd like to see more products that repurpose old phones and tablets while scratching that "new object" itch.
