And it's something else entirely to enforce arbitrary, unconstitutional, inhuman, and un-American rules and to do so gleefully.

I bought one from them years ago, and it works well, but I can't believe they're charging $85/ea for the cords now. I could understand something like $25, but geez... paramountcords.com/product/bp-p...

It's definitely way more civil here. A large part of that is due to the culture forming very early on to not tolerate bad actors, and because BlueSky provides excellent tools for blocking and filtering.

Congratulations! That’s a great image.

Be sure to give your sitters welding goggles.
