The U.S. House elected Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.) to be the 56th Speaker on Wednesday, capping off a chaotic three weeks that paralyzed the lower chamber in a stunning fashion.

The Hill reports the new speaker will confront a Nov. 17 deadline to fund the government or risk a shutdown.

@NewsDesk I expect Mike Johnson to shut the government down and NOT “confront” that deadline.

I have a problem.

I tend to hoard failed or test prints.

I should just throw them into the recycle-this-PLA-when-I-figure-out-how box, but instead they stay on my desk because they're just interesting shapes.

One or two is fine, but I realized i have dozens littering my otherwise tidy workspace. 🤦‍♂️

The “somehow” is the problem. Just look at the farce (at least in the US) household plastic recycling is.

@rasterweb @linux_mclinuxface @stooovie
“Business” should not be an “excuse”. It’s at least a contributing reason for all the single use plastics of the world.

The only source for the incorrect initial report was Hamas.

People have spent days shouting the wrong information on TV and social media. Some did more than shout. Some rioted outside Israeli embassies. Someone tried to burn down a synagogue in Berlin. Someone did burn down a synagogue in Tunisia.

The truth is important. It’s not a situational thing.

Perceived scarcity is a hell of a thing. If I make one box of Mac and cheese, it’s inhaled instantly by the kids who then get mad at whoever dished themselves the last bits. If I make two boxes, it is barely eaten and without conflicts between the kids, most of it going to waste.

@whack @purp @lkanies

You know it doesn’t take long or a ton of ingredients to make a cheese sauce. Can be made at the same time the noodles are boiling and probably ready before them.

@xorn I could probably dip/coat it with a food safe epoxy. Not sure how that would affect the glow in the dark though.
