So you come into my replies on my instance and then block me.
This is what you think happens:
“Haha, everyone will see my reply and he can’t respond.”
Here’s what actually happens:
- You piss me off
- I suspend your account and delete your data from my server so it no longer distributes your reply
- I post a screenshot of your reply so everyone can see the mental gymnastics you have to employ to defend Israel
- You learn something new

Then I realized I had actually connected this PC's GPU to the "new" build GPU 🤣 😬 . Fixed it, still no display. Powered off/on, post, boot device message. whew. …

About three years ago we replaced our copper kitchen sink with something else.

And then I never did, but recently a friend of mine started doing metal casting, and then posted "Does anyone have scrap copper they don't want?"
So I told him I'd sell it to him at half the going scrap value amount.
And yesterday he picked up the sink, and then melted it into copper ingots. Cool!…

The obvious bias on this poll, if it even gets statistically significant votes at all, is that people with so many followers that it's annoying to get replies don't follow me and so won't see it to vote No as much as you'd otherwise expect.
