Come to Beehaw. In my experience, discussions there are more thoughtful and respectful than in some of the bigger instances. ML in particular is straight cancer.

Honestly, I'd rather him say that than just lie. The problem is that it still is a lie if he does know but is deflecting blame.

No. That would be doing things. He doesn't do things. Except one time he drove two hours to visit our friends for the weekend. Except he was actually just crashing at their place so he could see Jordan Peterson live. He didn't tell them that until he was there. He's been super cagey about his politics. I got hints over the years but I figured he was starting to mellow out after the pandemic settled. Turns out he just learned not to talk politics around his friends. In January I finally confronted him about his beliefs on specific issues, hoping that I was over-extrapolating and actually he just had a few mixed views. Nope, full on fascist. We used to talk on the phone every couple of weeks. I've completely cut contact since. Sorry for venting.

Read my mind. The can being pink is nice too though.

Do we know the same guy? My guy bought a bass and a bunch of music production equipment and never learned to use any of it. He's got dreams of being a writer and he hasn't written anything.

Overall he's lived in several big cities and never made friends, eventually moving back to where we used to live to be closer to his college friends (he's 30). He has struggled in his career, love, and social life and turned to Jordan Peterson. He likes reading. I think if he just joined a book club 7 years ago all of this could have been avoided because he would have made some friends.

Same. I lost my 15 year best friend over this earlier this year. It still hurts and it sucks but I'm not friends with fascists

Plank length: usually 10ft for 2x4s. Though, you can get them cut to length.

I feel like we already have the solution. The reason hijacking a plane is attractive for a terrorist is because you essentially have a precision missile. There's little security for buses or trains because you can't do the same thing. If you make the cockpit basically bulletproof and have strict procedures about entering the cockpit during flight, then it's not nearly as attractive. Those changes were already made after 9/11. Hijacking a plane only allows the hijackers to kill the people on board, which isn't as useful. Literally eliminate TSA and I think we're good.

Question coming from complete ignorance: are you picking through a big pile of stones to find the ones that fit a gap or are you cutting them to fit (or both)? Also, are you a Mason (like a member of the illuminati group)?

Those are some pretty walls.

I suspect this is actually because of those full body scanners. They're probably better at detecting explosives.

 

I find it disgusting that they feel the need to appeal to their importance for economic activity. Safety should be a worthy enough goal to maintain such a lightweight organization. Trump says he wants to bring industry back to America. With moves like this, it's clear the actual intent is to keep workers subservient and expendable.

 

I want to make the switch but I want to test run first before fully committing. My PC has an M.2 SSD. I was thinking I could buy another one, swap them out and put Linux on that. In an emergency, I can swap the SSD back. Does this seem like a viable/sensible path toward Linux? I don't really have too many files on my PC that I care about. I don't want to dual boot. I did that on a laptop back in the day and it was annoying.

 

Dan Gelbart is a rich Canadian guy who made his millions building machines for other companies. Now he has a money-is-no-object shop to mess around in. I particularly like the video going over his lathe/grinder combo that he designed and built. The spindles and ways are on air bearings and it's incredibly precise. Also check out his video on flexures where he shows off a simple water jet part that allows 25x resolution for you measurements or positioning.

 

Game starts at 4:05. He entirely relies on game audio to play the game. Street Fighter 6 has good accessibility options that he uses to help understand the game state.

 

On the Beehaw local page, it's filled with posts from the Socialism community. On my subscriptions page, it's filled with posts from a 196 community. I'm glad Lemmy is getting communities that are gaining traction, but I don't want my feeds dominated by a few communities. I'm not sure if this is a Lemmy issue, a Beehaw issue, or a Thunder issue. Anybody have any ideas?

 

Pictured is mainly the shoe unit and backing plate for a CNC internal grinding machine. The quill sans wheel is on the right. The single point dresser is mounted to the shoe unit. This is a picture taken before re-fitting this grinder to grind taper inner ring bores. This grinder wasn't meant for that so I took a picture for reference while we discussed what modifications were needed.
