Generally yes, but what are called mainline Episcopalians are "in communion" with the Church of England, so they're kinda sorta Anglican. If an observant Anglican were to want to attend church in the US, that's who they would look up.

Some red-state suburban churches broke off a few years back and are in communion with one of the churches in Africa that also broke off because they didn't like the ladies and the gays and whatnot. Very classy of them all.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Wednesday that Iran's 10-point proposal was "literally thrown in the garbage by President Trump." Trump initially called a plan from Iran "workable."

Even for their own awful sakes', they need to take grampa's socials away.

Assuming all is above board, the main concern I have is if it’s worth that much to them, wouldn’t it be worth that much to me?

Yes, and then some. It sounds like you'd do better randomly selecting a realtor to throw it up on MLS "as-is," and even better if you followed the usual, admittedly annoying, process. These companies are not literal "risking jail" scams, but they're not your friends either, and they will not be offering you anywhere close to market value. My sister and I looked into a couple of them when our dad passed, and the offers were far below what we pulled with a Realtor, even priced to move and with a kind of costly "turnkey" arrangement where they arranged cleanup and inspections.

It hasn’t been plugged in for the better part of a decade, back when we had a house with a floor lamp plug right by it, but it theoretically has a mini fridge, charging, and a Bluetooth speaker. In use, it has one very big drawer to go with two normal drawers.

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Very similar, but it’s from some brand called Sobro, it’s a little smaller, and only 2/3 of it is a mini fridge.

It hasn’t been plugged in for over six years.

I know this design was for safety, with a shit ton of parachutes on the passenger cabin, but modularity generally fucks the economics of a plane design. You have to have a self-contained module, a plane that is flyable (and landable) without it, and you need a way to securely connect one to the other. Things get chunky real quick, and chunky is expensive, and modern passengers are basically "walking mozzarella sticks who think that $300 and a photo I.D. gives them the right to fly through the air like one of the guardian owls of legend. (!30rock@dubvee.org) For cargo planes, a lot of older designs would drop capacity by 20-30%.

 

If he’s not winning, after a while he’ll nip at toes or jowls. Just heeler logic. I reckon ACDs would nod approvingly at Alexander with the Gordian knot.

Heelers love us very much, but they also believe they know best and our suggestions like “Don’t bite my face” or “Don’t get chest deep in mud” are the barely coherent babblings of beloved children with low intelligence.

The heeler will decide what is best. Mud is best.

He doesn't generally lie with his tummy to the sky out there. He prefers to let the black fur soak it up like a solar panel. He has a "saddle" pattern like a german shepherd.

lack of commitment, rather than any law, was the key point.

This is the rub. Can he officially? No. But then, he can't officially rename the Department of Defense either. What they can do is go in arrears on payments and refuse to cooperate with allies or acknowledge that a given incident involves treaty obligations, and be extremely open about all of it. The only thing the law does is give the next guy cover to walk things back because it was never formal, but by then 99% of the damage will have been done.

Just from a sheer nuts and bolts point of view, the foreign relations damage is going to take literally decades to undo, including at least 8 years of republican administrations that top out at George W Bush levels of fascist exceptionalism. No sane government would trust the US with long-term commitments otherwise.

I have a halfway decent woodworking setup, plus a 3D printer and a cheap laser, but metalworking is just not really an option. The space dedication, plus the oils and the fire hazards and the scraps/shavings/slivers/chaff/god-knows-what-else all being completely incompatible with sharing a space with the rest of it. Sigh, just not likely to happen until and unless I can get in with the makerspace mafia. I am thinking of trying to figure out designing for mills and using metal-bending workbenches in CAD, though, and sending more designs off to be fabbed.

 
 
 

DIY 3D printed case for the Yushakobo Primer61 PCB I got in Japan over the holidays. I didn't buy one of their BLE Pro Micro boards, but had a Nice!Nano clone, so I learned just enough ZMK to port it over and use it wirelessly. More HERE. Not my cleanest print, but I'm happy, and pretty stoked I didn't set it on fire trying to use an unsupported MCU with a wireless firmware.

I've printed up 7 of these, plus I have a lid and one less-satisfying prototype from my diode laser. They fit in the footprint of a sheet of US Letter paper, hold a little over a TKL's worth of keycaps, and use about 1/6 of a 1kg roll of filament, so maybe USD $3 per try with the cheap PLA I always buy.

 
 

Made this a few years ago myself. Mostly with my Shopsmith, since we were about to move and I’d sold most of the other tools. Floating tenon (DIY domino, basically) on the joint.
