This is an often misunderstood aspect of the sun. The sun doesn't need to pull oxygen into itself to burn. It just does a bit of fusion magic!

When a star is dense enough it starts to fuse Helium together through a process called the "triple alpha process"; which results in Carbon! From there it's pretty direct for the star to fuse one more Helium to the Carbon via stellar nucleosynthesis to create Oxygen!

So you see, the Sun doesn't need to draw Oxygen from space. It just makes its own!

The picture for this article is vicious mockery of Christians everywhere!

How was anyone supposed to know that Christians secretly adopted long tables as a holy symbol and that gathering behind them is now a sin?

Can he replace the Fed chair arbitrarily though?

Biden doesn't control the fed. It's an independent entity.

This is something I'm currently struggling with. I rent a house and the roof is leaking in two different rooms. Problem is that last time I had the landlord do any repairs he increased my rent by $300 a month. I know that having a leaky roof is damaging his property, but it's only a minor inconvenience for me at the moment.

I'm not about to spend an extra $6,000+ a year just to preserve his property when I can keep it from bothering me with a tack, some string, and a pitcher for the water to go into.

Do you honestly think Biden is making the argument that China will pay for these tariffs? So far he's been pretty clear that it's about giving American companies an advantage here, not about making China pay.

I'm sitting here wondering.. Do you think a bidet uses the water currently in the bowl? Or that it sprays through that water? Because it doesn't.

Why would there be? The first time Trump won it was when an unlikable Democrat ran. Anyone trying to teach the DNC to run better candidates by voting for Trump is just shooting themselves in the face.

I'm seeing quite a few strings there around the nozzle and fan ducts. Another thing that can cause that curling is wet filament, which will also cause the stringing. So you might also try drying it.

Do you see the same curling with other filaments?

This can sometimes be caused by uneven cooling. I was able to resolve it by using a fan shroud that cools on both sides of the print.
