    One of my boyfriends is in the middle of forcing me to watch all of Naruto, and honestly I hate it so far? Once you’re a couple seasons into Shipuden they interrupt every single episode of actual progress with like 5 episodes of unnecessary flashbacks. Also the message is terrible, it’s misogynistic as hell and damn near fascistic.

    For the One Piece fans here, I’m getting the impression that it’s like almost exactly the opposite. Is that true? If so we’re watching that next for sure.

    This trope, like how the Addams Family does it, has always really bothered and confused me. Like if the characters followed it to it’s logical conclusion, it wouldn’t make any sense at all, and I just can’t get over that. I don’t know how to explain what’s logically wrong with it, I wish someone would like write a tvtropes page about it

    Did you just call Pennsylvania the Midwest? Did I just this minute find out, right now, from you, dear internet stranger… that I’ve spent my entire life in the Midwest?? I’m sorry, I’m gonna need a minute… I’m gonna go get a hoagie


  • As an example of the problem, no one in my entire social circle has any hope of ever owning property, and many of us are just barely skirting homelessness. Unfortunately this is extremely common in the same world where some people own multiple homes. If you found yourself in that situation, I imagine the best course of action depends on where you live, but a good choice might be to convert your property into a non-equity low-income housing cooperative. There are lots of other options though, the main thing is just to get it into the hands of people who need it.





  • UPDATE: So the 8mm male quick disconnect to 1/8 NPT female adapter worked! Everything now hooks up to everything else just fine. Unfortunately, there’s a new problem.

    I have no idea how the gas valve built into the isi Whip works, but this hookup doesn’t seem capable of pushing any CO2 through it! Everything else works, there’s no leaks, and gas can make it all the way through the hose and out the end. But as soon as I screw it onto the isi’s gas hookup, it can’t get through. There’s a video of an isi disassembly here that shows what the valve looks like inside, but I can’t tell much from it. Clearly this thing is some sort of one-way valve, since gas doesn’t escape when you remove a CO2 cartridge… But what’s so special about a cartridge that my janky hookup doesn’t match?

    As far as I can tell, nothing in the mechanism budges when you push on it. I don’t think it’s being mechanically opened by screwing the cartridge in. Is it possible that it just requires the explosive amount of pressure released by a punctured CO2 cartridge before it’ll open? I’ve been feeding it 30 PSI. Some quick googling tells me that 8g cartridges usually release 850 to 1100 PSI. Should I just try cranking up the pressure until something happens? I think the problem then becomes, there’s substantially more than 8g of CO2 in my tank… What happens then?

    Now, I’ve since stumbled onto this post about just straight up removing the built-in gas hookup and replacing it with a sanke to ball lock conversion kit. That seems like it might be way better than the approach I’ve been using, and I wish I had seen it earlier!


  • Oh I definitely have like zero idea what I’m doing, but hopefully I’ll learn a thing or two in the process lol. I will definitely be picking up some Nylog White, thanks!

    So, the 3/8 turned out to be WAYYY too big! I was just kind of naively taking it on faith because the listing said that’s what it was… I think it’s actually 1/8 instead? We’ll see once the new part arrives. Shame on me for trusting a thumbnail from AliExpress over, you know, a ruler 😅
