A guy just got arrested in Houston US for allegedly being an ISIS member. I grew up in Reagan and 911 era are these people just saying this or are they actively buying bombs? in c/[email protected]

I think being in direct contact with another known member with similar intent would do it

YSK: US Senate offices pay attention to how many constituents are calling them on a topic. Democracy doesn't end at the ballot box in c/[email protected]

Being aware of local and state government is always a good thing to do and so much stuff is streamed since Covid. It makes you an informed voter and it's where most of the stuff that impacts you will take place. Marijuana is one example of the impact of state law winning out despite federal law.

Reach out in any form you choose. Get to know them and what they stand for through their actions. Explain how things will effect you and people you know. Like anywhere else being an asshole is not the way to go. You might not change their mind but reminding them that everyday voters are paying attention has an effect even if you respectfully disagree.

Any suggestions on what to do about the USA election? (I'm very left, fair warning) in c/[email protected]

It sounds a lot like what many conservative people have been doing for a while. See the YT channel Dirty Civilian. They might not align with you politically but the info they present is free

All completely to plan for big whipped cream, big pie crust and big pie tin. In the end we're just pawns in their little game

Is "Red Storm Rising" by Tom Clancy considered a good book? Because I read it, and I'm not sure it should be. in c/[email protected]

The old school Rainbow Six games were my gateway drug to the book.

The plot is essentially "what if tree huggers went batshit and weaponized a virus" so take that for what you will but the training and operations in that book were facinating to me. I saw it as world building for one of my favorite games of the time

if you workout and run, would you recommend a merino wool base or mid layer for autumn/winter? or am I going to break it? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

If you want a "cheaper" option to try I'd give Minus 33 a chance. If it works for you great! If not it's not as expensive as it could have been.

I do share other commenter's concerns about overheating. The line I've heard is "be bold start cold"

Why are so many cleaning products lemon scented? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 82 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (7 children)

Lemon and orange are the easiest scents to achieve from a chemistry standpoint. It probably complements the base smell of a product easier.

Fun fact A professor once told us that a molecule's chirality can make a diffeence. For example Limonene can either smell like pine or oranges depending on what way the molecule is mirrored.

Bing/Dalle Prompt: Dramatic concept art. A dark cold night with a small moon covered by clouds. Wind in the trees. A moonlit purple moor with a road. A man rides his horse on the road. French cut hat, lace at his chin. Rapier and pistols twinkle in the dim light. Rides up towards a distant old inn door. Ghostly fog.

Inspired by one of my favorite poems
