I don’t know enough about specific kinds of epoxy/glues… but has anything actually been reported as to… is it just the wrong kind of glue? applied improperly? combination of both, and/or other errors?
Given that it affects … basically every cybertruck produced, im guessing its not just one guy or one shift that’s incompetent, and more likely a fundamental manufacturing process/materials problem, management or c suite incompetence.
… many of the body/trim panels… are glued onto the frame.
Not even fasteners of some kind.
Just glue.
Glue which keeps failing so often that basically all cybertrucks have been recalled because … the body / trim panels will fly off on the highway, like an uncovered/unsecured truck load.
It always sucks to have to cut off or go no contact/ghost absurd family members… but after a long pattern of concerning, manipulative and/or abusive behavior… that’d you really only put up with because they’re family… after a while, that reason/excuse becomes worthless.
Everything Mel Brooks.
Airplane!
The Producers
Blazing Saddles… etc.
So many of his movies have such memorable lines and jokes that still hold up today.
Reading the main post and other comments you’ve made giving more context, IMO you are correct, your aunt is a narcissistic sociopath.
Not a VPN, but you may also want to look into I2P.

Basically, a p2p protocol for the entire internet.
Its considerably more complicated to set up than most modern VPNs, where nowaday’s its usually as simple as install an app with a GUI, verify some settings and you’re good to go, and i2p is also quite slow…
… but its totally free, and you can torrent over it, and as far as I know, if you’ve set it up properly, it is basically undetectable by ISPs, due to how it uses ‘garlic’ routing: basically, a whole bunch of users net requests are encrypted, anonymized, and then smashed into a big packet… so an ISP would have to untangle all of that for every packet, and afaik, none of them have figured out how.
I2P would obviously be horrible for watching streaming content though, snail speed.
Hey now, they also somewhat resemble a typical diagram of a vagina, utuerus, fallopian tubes and ovaries.
Yep.
Its ‘federated’ as long as you ignore a single massive chokepoint controlled by one company that allows them to block/ban/censor users of any part of the system.
So functionally, their ‘federation’ system is actually just a false marketing/propoganda campaign that may also result in crowd sourcing some server costs.
It’s psuedo-federation, along the lines of a psuedo-historian or psuedo-scientist: They pretend to be something they are not, in such a way that makes them seem trustworthy when they are in fact not.
I would add to try regularly massaging the area and alternating between cold paks and hot paks … that might help a bit if its not a serious problem as outlined above.
If doing that for a few days yields little to no improvement… or is extremely painful… go to a doctor.
Also, probably just take your mattress off the frame, put it on the ground, roll up blankets or use pillows or something to extend the effective length of the matress, until you can get a larger mattress and different frame that doesn’t allow for this problem to occur.
Not a hacksaw, but I’ve dug fairly large glass shards and other sharp splinters out of my foot and sterilized and bandaged/stiched it up on my own, as opposed to going to doctor who would charge quite a lot… I’ve done that a good number of times.
None of them went deep enough to hit a major nerve or blood vessel, I’d probably have to go to an urgent care/hospital at that point.
Damnit.
Yeah, ok, that would work.
Congratulations, you have invented a new spice, made of mostly microplastics and a dash of metals, a few of which can bioaccumulate and cause organ / nervous system disruption.
… I …uh…
I dunno how you’d be able to actually accomplish that.
You could poo in multiple places over the course of a few days… but chances are the actual remnants of the sd card would come out in the same poo.
Smash it with a hammer for a minute or two, then microwave the chunks.
That’ll probably do the trick.
Alternatively, smash it, eat it, shit it out later at not where you live.
Kinda sorta.
The actual accent itself doesn’t sound the same, but I think you’re getting at how it came to be.
The PNW dialect/accent is basically a subset of the Californian dialect/accent, with a few differences.
It arose as being very close to ‘General American’ because it was the last, or latest part of the US to be settled by significant numbers of English speakers, and is an amalgamation of the accents of English speakers from many different pre-exsting American dialect regions.
People from the PNW often do not even realize that they have an accent, as it is so close to a sort of normalized middle ground of other US American English accents.
TransAtlantic accent/dialect specifically arose because of the technology, as you say… and also I think a bit from social circles of basicslly upper class NorthEasterners who had enough money to regulalry interact with actual UK English speakers themselves, whereas PNW accent/dialect seems to not have arisen intentionally, and isn’t as strongly tied to the upper social class of the region.
Seattle and Portland’s first major population booms were the result of the Alaska goldrush near the end of the 1800’s, with basically lower class people coming from all across American (and other parts of the world) either using them as a last port to stock up and buy supplies before heading north, or setting up a business to sell those supplies to those people… and a whole lot of them returned to Seattle or Portland after the Alaska gold rush.

Well, that does count as a dialect, but I literally would not be able to comprehend it in person.
I have the PNW dialect, aka, the accent that is trained into every newcaster and hollywood actor, because basically every English speaker can understand it without difficulty.
The type O blood of English dialects, if you would.
See?
The Internet really is basically a series of tubes.
Agreed, it does prove the rule.
…but that doesn’t change what I said.
If you’re interacting soley through text, you may get into a/an arguments with people who don’t know that different dialects pronounce the same words differently.
I didn’t say ‘this disproves the rule.’
How would you pronounce:
Al, as in Allen?
La, as in Law?
El, as in Elope?
Le, as in Level?
Ill, as in… Ill?
Li, as in Lick?
Ol, as in Oligarchy?
Lo, as in Logistics?
Ul, as in Ultimate?
Lu, as in Luminate?
Just because the letter ‘L’ is generally pronounced ‘el’ on its own does not mean the ‘e’ sound is not a vowel.
Its ‘an elephant’ because ‘e’ is a vowel, and that’s the first pronounced sound.
Its ‘a lever’, because ‘l’ is a consonant, and that’s the first pronounced sound.
… Is English not your first language, or have you not graduated middle school yet?
This is the general rule, but you’ll run into problems with words that are pronounced differently with different dialects.
Example:
A herb / An herb
I’d say ‘an herb’ because where I’m from, the h is silent.
But there are many places where it isn’t silent.
A bunch of other comments are using ‘history’ of an example of this… but I’ve not heard of a dialect where the h in history is silent.
I prefer a good, old fashioned, no bo-shit, big stick.
I mean … sai … its not like everyone has finely crafted throwing stars lying around, but kama(n) farming tools?
Much more practical.
((Apologies for the rough final pun, doing my best lol.))
more explanation
((Kama were basically used as small, single handed scythes for rice farming, bo just literally means ‘staff’ and the original use of sais, as I was told by my Karate Shihon, was that they were basically used , one in each hand, to easily pierce a baled up bundle of crops and then toss them into a cart… though as with a lot of Okinawan Karate history, that may be apocryphal, none of that is well documented … because Karate isn’t actually Japanese in origin, it is Okinawan, it was the self defense style invented by Okinawans resisting Japanese imperialism with just their farming implements, and a lot of their recorded history got destroyed))
((the sai pun is supposed to be that it sounds like sigh))
