Am I off in saying it feels like sanctions have become the foreign affairs equivalent of virtue signaling? It feels like it solves nothing and is a way of doing nothing while looking as if they are doing the right thing.

Favorites:

• DS Lite: maybe it’s because it was my first gaming console I bought with my own money as a kid. But this thing is such a trooper. Looks beautiful clamshell and the battery some how is still good today, almost 20 years later. Works real well with game carts too!

• GameCube: I’m such a sucker for Nintendo but this thing was so portable and had a phenomenal wireless controller if you had it. I loved this console and the mini disks were so fun until I lost my case full of them.

• Switch Lite: I know this isn’t a common one but the weight and the power behind it is amazing to me. I’ve always wanted a super portable console that doesn’t weigh a lot. The regular switch hurts for me to hold too long even with grips.

Least Favs:

• PS2 slim: this little shit barely worked. At one point the slim would stop working where I’d have to open it, spin the disk like I was pull starting a lawn mower. It also scratched half my disks for no reason. The OG was a tank.

• OG DS: bulky pain in the ass. Felt like holding two GBAs glued together.

Amazon, Home Depot, Lowe’s pretty much most home and garden stores will have it. It is an insecticide but not a bio pesticide. It’s not even put on the plant itself just on the top soil. The plant will just see it as a different type of soil essentially. Just looking at the Wikipedia article on what the composition is of diamacious earth will tell you this:

Diatomaceous earth consists of the fossilized remains of diatoms, a type of hard-shelled microalgae.[3] It is used as a filtration aid, mild abrasive in products including metal polishes and toothpaste, mechanical insecticide, absorbent for liquids, matting agent for coatings, reinforcing filler in plastics and rubber, anti-block in plastic films, porous support for chemical catalysts, cat litter, activator in coagulation studies, a stabilizing component of dynamite, a thermal insulator, and a soil for potted plants and trees as in the art of bonsai.

I think you can use Diamacious earth on the top of the soil to kill the gnat/flies and future eggs. It’s completely safe to use just don’t inhale it a ton because it does have a small bit of silica in it.

It’s used as a dietary supplement as well so it’s food safe for animals and humans. It just isn’t for insects because it dehydrates their exoskeleton. It’ll turn kinda brown as you water on the top of it so just know that’s normal. It’s also very inexpensive.

Sorry all we’ve got is negligible better camera and slightly thinner.

I loving all the discord hate here. I’ve never understood why people like it.

What I continue to not understand is how is anyone still on his side. Not like MAGA cult followers but like people with actual power and those that won’t lose anything from just letting him fail. This is a rhetorical question but it still boggles my mind.

I guess it’s a good example that everyone can see as to how flawed the US justice system is towards the rich and powerful. Like most of us knew it but this is so hard to deny. This would never be the case for some normal person.
