This Gizmo Cuts Plastic Bottles Into Neat Strips ino.to/ZGvyODe This is how you re/upcycle soda bottles into 3D printer filament…that long strip is fed thru a machine using pultrusion, making filament from PETG. I'm sure a jig to remove the top/bottom cleanly would be simple. @core77.bsky.social

I was told years ago that Seattle's northern boundary is around 50th, maybe 65th. @theurbanist.org agrees, as this map seems to be their default. Reminiscent of the New Yorker cartoon "View of the World from 9th Avenue." D5 should join Shoreline, I guess. Or break away on its own.

They voted for the guy they thought hates the same people they do. They didn’t vote for policy or governance. They voted for resentment and validation. I hope they enjoy what they got for their votes.

www.thenation.com/article/poli... I have been asking the same question since a drug-addled sex tourist ruled the AM airwaves and created an army of unquestioning "dittoheads." Do the Dems need their own version of Phony Stark to clean house, like the other one is doing to the entire government?
