They known it's not free stuff. It's entirely PR.

I think the story neuromancer had workers who would show up have their brain chip turn them into meat puppets for 8 hours then they would wake up not knowing what they had done to earn their checks. It was a cheap labor scheme for day workers or prostitutes. I still think that's really the capitalist goal.

The executive is still bound by the constitution. He's legally not allowed to discriminate against protected classes like he tried with the Muslim ban. Of course that protection is only as strong and the court and congress ability to enforce it.

Yeah, it never proves that was the barrel a bullet came out of, just that it came out of a barrel just like that one.

They're looking at a square millimeter of print, which means they're reading the edge profile of the nozzle, in a small sample set. Similar to barrel markings on bullets.

You think right wingers give a damn? Nothing anyone can say that starts with 'this will cause' matters to them, they don't believe you and deny reality. If you want them to react to anything it has to be 'This is what you can do about the thing that's affecting you personally right now'. And even then, you better be really damn convincing.

They need to be spending like they might have to face the US, Russia, and China at the same time.

Russia is a threat now, Germany needs to arm up a while previously. Right now France has nukes and Poland has the will to fight, that's not enough to keep Germany safe for 4 more years.

Pretty sure that's the Boeing 777 and they discovered that after a crash off Brazil.

I use autopilot all the time on my boat. No way in hell I'd trust it in a car. They all occasionally get suicidal. Mine likes to lull you into a sense of false security, then take a sharp turn into a channel marker or cargo ship at the last second.

REITs are fine, but they do need strong regulation. They're best when targeted at building high density housing, but can be used to develop single family suburbs.

The key is that you have to time limit their ownership of single family homes, and require the sale to individuals. That forces them to build and sell, they make money, the market expands, houses stay affordable. For high density buildings they have to be limited to a portion of the area market, including all corporate owners. Which again forces them to build and sell, and also keeps competition in the market, to avoid price fixing.

It will be. They have immunity. It's entirely performative intimidation.

 

Just wondering if anyone has experience with pouring aluminum or copper on their pottery? We've done melts with glass, but getting ready to try aluminum, and maybe copper if that works out.

 

WASHINGTON, Feb 3 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday ordering the creation of a sovereign wealth fund within the next year, saying it could potentially buy the short video app TikTok. Trump offered little in the way of detail and it was unclear how such a wealth fund would work. Typically such funds rely on a country's budget surplus to make investments, but the U.S. operates at a deficit. Its creation also would likely require approval from Congress.

 

About to be in the market for a new circular saw, just looking for the typical 7.25 blade saw. One thing that has constantly bothered me though is the depth adjustment. Every saw I've ever had used a flip lever on a nut in the back, and that's always been the point of failure. They slip, break, seize or otherwise fail first before anything else on the saw. And it's literally the only setting on a saw that i ever touch beyond changing blades.

So what brand has a reliable depth adjustment?

 

Saw a post mentioning an old Scottish gentleman that had saved a bottle of whiskey to drink the day Margaret Thatcher died. And I'm quite sure he enjoyed the drink.

So my question to the community, what's the best drink for the day any major politician finally kicks the bucket? Should it be your own favorite spirit, or something to denote the character, and vitriol, of the deceased? Something sweet to enjoy the day, or harsh to remember the bitterness of their character?

I'm trying to plan a shelf for my dining room. Each bottle labeled for who they're waiting for.
