Doing my first BMX race next weekend. Really going into the deep end, and going to a National-level race. I've been on a track 1 time previously. Now I've done a loooooot of MX racing in my life, so I'm comfortable on any kind of bike, but I haven't raced anything in over a decade probably, so the nerves are there.

I've been having similar issues, and when I am given an answer or find it way back in comment histories, I'll copy and paste it into mine and reference the older post. This seems to help a lot in Discords where it serves you results based on date since post.

LEMMiNO is my favorite bi-annual creator.

Nexpo does some really good stuff too, but I think recently he's just been doing like Reddit deep dives, and that is only so interesting.

I missed those, I go through phases with him. I get it though, guy cranks out videos and probably gets old using the same cave diving stock videos lol.

Scary Interesting does some horror documentary stuff about, idk, scary situations people have been stuck in. No AI images, which is saying something, cause he always has some kind of background or graphic going.

They have venture capital backing as a direct competitor to Twitter. I'm sure there are other sources as well, but that's the big one, I think.

If you would read your comment, you would see you are referring to Fine as he or him multiple times. Which is why I said I was confused. Fine is not a man, nor did AIPAC pick a "him". I was wanting clarification on that part of the comment. The rest of my comment was not me stating you are wrong, but why it continues to be confusing, as Biss also has pro-Israeli ties, just not to AIPAC specifically.

We are not in disagreement over anything. Your comment is just unclear on who you are referencing.

I'm confused. Laura Fine was the AIPAC candidate, she got 3rd. Biss was the winner, and Kat got 2nd. AIPAC didn't pick him, they backed Fine. Biss did get some funding from other pro-Israel sources, from what I've seen, but they're more moderate in their takes on Israel's Palestine policy and were recommending economic and aid/weapon sanctions against Israel (J Street or something?).

Everything is pretty smoke-and-mirror with this shit though so I won't claim to be an expert on every Israeli-tied PAC or lobby, so please correct me if I'm wrong!

He's saying that they do run all the time, and then when the election is over, they disappear and do nothing until the next election. This is likely more in reference to National races or big federal seats.

Depending on the age, you may need a new drum unit, but I think that may also just be a deficit of laser.

Echoing others, Brother laser printers. Cheap, reliable, and toner lasts forever. Initial one with purchase is like...40% of standard, and will still get you a few hundred pages. The regular ones are like 1200+, and the large ones are I think pushing 2k for like $70.

You can do stickers on sticker paper with lasers, but idk the quality. Is it like...address labels? If so, lasers are perfect tly fine for that. Fine details? Idk.

Yeah, this would be good in my mind. I don't even care if it's just the communities my instance is federated with only; I would imagine I land with an instance that shares my values, so their federation I'd be OK with (hypothetically). I just don't want to feel like I'm missing out by being somewhere else and not knowing/being aware of a portion of the community. I want the discussion just as much as I want the information presented.
