yeah its a known viewing area for spacex launches. I mean the article isn’t 100% clear but contextually it seems like its the bit of beach right there where the rio grande meets the gulf. I bet someone got annoyed with people going to mexico to watch DoD spacex launches or something

And an SRA one!

The combo is really something.

Burger americans: get to know your comrades, know your orgs, do not fucking organize with fascists like this. They are out there

Worth the read, thank you!

Its easy to be hopeless in the US and want to aim low, for “achievable” goals, but ultimately I think this is the correct take.

but is the state not also to some extent at the mercy of the bond market? obviously they have more options though.

Very true. That would help. Maybe Mamdani will be better, though honestly I’m not confident in that.

Yet another layer of structures to enforce capitalist realism and push austerity. Genuinely not sure how you push through all this besides just like, gaining absolute power and doing Socialism in One City which obviously isn’t super viable.

ah

the right size masonry bit, screws, and plastic sleeve anchors to grip the hole in the brick might do it, but the metal style anchors are much stronger if you’re worried about it coming loose. either beefy masonry screw anchors or the expanding metal sleeve kind

if you don’t do it right it can be hard to solidly screw into masonry.

If your new place has solid wood to screw into I wouldn’t worry about it much.

fair enough. I wonder if/how modern screen readers still have such problems

Was there an accessibility angle to their argument beyond “makes it harder for some users to read”? (not that that’s an invalid argument but I don’t think it’s self evident)

I’m not a double space user and don’t necessarily think this behavior needs to change, but if you, like OP, subjectively find something easier to read and are accustomed to it, I don’t think “no, its a historical relic and doesn’t make a difference in readability” will be very convincing in that situation…

Ultimately, hexbear is not using a wysiwyg editor, but it is frustrating when there’s no good way to make your post look how you want it to, whether that’s for an effort post, a dumb meme with emotes or ascii art type drawings or whatever, and space collapsing is much more disruptive than newline collapsing in that way
