Lol. That was 2007. I feel so old.

This is awesome. I've been wanting to make a speaker. I think there are a lot of possibilities in a 3d printed enclosure that do not exist with conventional building methods. Something I'd like to try is blending wood and a 3d print, perhaps wood top and bottom with a 3d printed center.

Thanks for sharing.

Seconding the above, I want to say I paid $60 in a pretty average city.

The store I went to is called Jos-a-bank, feel free to look them up but any higher end men's fine clothing store should have a tailor on site at all times.

There are also dedicated tailor shops you can try looking for one of those.

I don't think places like dillards or Macy's will do alterations but I could be wrong.

Worst case the place you go may tell you something like "he only works Tuesdays and Saturdays" or something like that, so you may want to keep trying to get them on the phone, but I've not been told that before.

What's the problem?

My first email was Firstname_Lastname@aol.com. When aol became insufferable and a challenger appeared, I made Firstname.Lastname@gmail.com.

Gmail lets you add "."s anywhere and it'll still work, so all my spammy or whatever things I sign up for are Firs.T.Nam.E.L.Astnam.E@gmail.com or some random variation. Makes it easy to delete all the junk.

And their current deity Trump enacted actual gun restrictions too, while the literal devil worshipper Obama did not enact any.

I don't think conservative has ever meant the environment. It's about conserving the status quo. At this point the party should be renamed to regressives.

What are you expecting to have them send you? A link to a paper proving that having empathy for fellow humans means you are not conservative?

Bro. Just like, think about it.

OPs talking points align nearly perfectly with normal progressive talking points.

Increase high density housing.
Increase public transport.
Public safety net (housing for the homeless).
Redistribution of wealth.

What it likely boils down to are the two conservative talking points they have left, guns and reproductive rights.

If OP truly feels that abortion is murder and believes in his heart that he has the right to dictate his own personal beliefs on others, and / or has fallen for the lie that the left is going to take their guns away (they won't), they will vote Republican despite everything else pointing to the logical choice being a progressive Democrat.

Edit:
I feel I need to mention that just because I (a man) personally cannot imagine a scenario in which I would need to get an abortion (because I lack ovaries), and my current life situation is such that I don't forsee my partner requiring one, I still will vote to protect women's right to bodily autonomy. I strongly believe that I have no right to even participate in the discussion. My opinion is literally worthless, and I don't have to live with the consequences of my vote.

That being said, I take the position of provide access to abortion but also provide services to women to try and decrease the need for abortion. I also am in favor of providing free healthcare to pregnant women and children of families in need of it, and I believe childcare should be subsidized.
