Are combined arms tactics relevant when Russia has no meaningful armored equipment left?

USPS is technically not a government agency. They are a company owned by the government (Amtrak is the same way). It is not government funded (except when Congress decides they should give them some money).

California gun control laws got their start when Reagan was governor and the Black Panthers protested while armed. Gun control has historically been used to criminalize and disarm black people.

A friend of mine who has some money mentioned maybe getting a rental property at some point. I told him I think that's immoral and he didn't understand. He insisted that he would charge below market rate. By his logic, the market rate is like a neutral point for morality and below market rate is morally good. But if you charged above market rate and got a renter...that's just the market rate now. There's no way for him to be immoral by his standards.

I told him I thought that a fair rate was the cost of property management. Basically the cost of maintenance and the administration of the property. It's arguable that the cost of property insurance should be included since a lot of maintenance will be through your insurance. He of course mentioned that wouldn't even cover his mortgage. I told him I don't believe people poorer than you should be buying you an asset. Why don't you get them to contribute to your 401k while your at it.

Your wife seems to like shows that start with "S". You should show her Skins.

I'm a sucker for Moser Roth from Aldi.

Honestly, as a cyclist, I think the textbook hand signals are kinda stupid. The reason you don't just point to the right is because you want to be able to keep your right hand on the front (more powerful) brake. As a result, nobody really knows what you're doing. Just point where you're going. Unlike in a car, everyone can just see me fully. I can even make more complex gestures. When there's a sharp right and a slight right at the same intersection, I can point to which one. I can flip the bird. Endless possibilities when I don't confine myself to the same limitations as a car. Also, if you're feeling saucy, there are helmet lights that actually have turn signals in them which is kinda neat.

Edit: I got my front and rear brake mixed up. That's what I get for riding fixed too long.

It's a song encouraging homeless people to use the YMCA for housing and a meal. It could be a subtle jab at the state of homelessness in America while pretending to celebrate American culture. Might be a stretch though.

 

This channel normally posts board meetings and short progress updates on specific sections of the project in a pretty dry way. This is the first time I've seen them lean into a more engaging method of getting the word out.

 

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.
