Robin Williams was known to repeat others’ jokes without attribution, a cardinal sin among comics, even if the sinner did so by accident.
And yet, Robin Williams was usually forgiven by his victims, and it never became a scandal. The reasons (beyond his ad-lib style of channel-surfing-Impressionism lending to the plausibility of accidental plagiarism) were that he always admitted his error quickly when called out and contacted the writer/comic to make it right, and then didn’t repeat the mistake.
Perhaps Klein was too busy for such things.
Oh sorry, I just saw your edits with the additional questions and gpt image.
So for specific keywords and rabbit holes, I highly recommend both the cable swaging and turnbuckle rigging and here’s why:
- Cheap as hell: any home improvement store has braided cables, ferrules, eyebolts, turnbuckles, etc for next to nothing
- Extremely strong yet light: braided cable is versatile and reliable when you want to hold things up or pull them together in a controlled and reliable way
- Turnbuckles just look cool. You’ll see them on suspension bridges and boat rigging. I used them to make various walnut-stained 2x12 suspension shelving and a hover desk in my old apt for <90 in materials.
I picked way overspec cable and hardware for looks only; the braided cable in the first photo is rated for the weight of an SUV and I just put books and a turntable on it.
But it was legit useful to know 2 years later. A friend’s garage had a wall frame damaged by flooding and the roof corner was sagging. One turnbuckle cable ran across the hypotenuse of the damaged frame stood the wall back up and held the roof up for weeks while he arranged the repair.
Anyway I’d look at that one first for sure 👍 GL
Yeah this is a serious EPA violation. The refrigerant lines run through the sides of the enclosure, so piercing the sides likely vented the refrigerant.
In my case, I learned by making stuff I wanted or needed that ~~didn’t exist yet~~ I couldn’t find. Once you start doing that you inevitably start running into problems that require slightly more specialized knowledge to solve correctly. But you don’t have to learn everything at once.
So I imagine any “maker” category of content would be a good start, since they often start with the same premise and talk through their techniques, resources, and tools in the process.
Here’s a maker from the old mythbusters TV show talking about making things: https://www.ted.com/talks/simone_giertz_why_you_should_make_useless_things

You can do this on a single HTML page with fewer than 100 lines of code. What is the platform aspect?
If they have the two-column/gantry style cable machine and you’re willing to BYO bar, you could add removable cable attachment points to each end with common pipe and cable hardware.
For example, on each end of your bar, you could slide on a shaft collar like this
But replace the set screw with a shallow eyebolt like this
Then attach cables of lower-inside pulleys to the eyebolts at each end of your bar, and test.
It won’t replicate the dynamics of plates but should let you find the correct angle of resistance into the floor and maintain your form while training with cables.
duverger’s “law”
The name is a historical artifact of his 1950s phrasing. It’s a tendency theorem with scope conditions.
literally a tautology
Cox, Riker, Lijphart, and Clark+Golder have all reformulated the law as a conditional strategic-equilibrium claim.
that’s a lot of ink spilled for “literally a tautology”
(Not my field. The following is armchair speculation.)
Why is [fusion] more economical than [solar/wind]
TLDR — It’s not. For distributed/residential, bulk power generation, and light-duty transportation, solar has already won so decisively that fusion is not likely to catch up this century. But those aren’t usually the target applications.
TMK, Fusion offers most of the known advantages of fission (smaller footprint, superior energy density + capacity, output that’s weather-independent and geography-agnostic, etc.) but with significantly better safety and waste profiles.
Its versatility as a thermal source enables many industrial applications requiring temperatures difficult or impossible to achieve via electrification alone.
The reaction itself is directly applicable to neutron production.
There’s some even more far flung applications like outer planetary and deepspace space travel.
And others. All to say, it’s for niche and future applications PV can’t touch.
These are good examples of what it takes, however, including primary participation and grassroots activism. In addition, the NYC mayoral featured ranked choice voting.
In other words, Duverger’s Law can’t simply be ignored in FPTP systems like those of the US, and anyone who suggests otherwise (like saying you should vote non-strategically to defeat the MAGA opposition) is either terribly ill-informed or, more likely, is working for the opposition.
“True colors” is typically used to refer to acts of selfishness and betrayal, a loss of trust in how friendly or kind one appears to be.
But in the rare case it is used for anger specifically, it indicates a loss of trust in how safe or stable one appears to be.
Even if you’re mostly even-keeled and exhibit emotional stability 9 times out of 10, it’s the 1 in 10 chance you won’t that can instantly become the most salient “color” in your palette.
In other words, it is precisely that 10% chance of emotional disregulation and/or danger, be it real or perceived, that they are describing as your “true colors.”
It has nothing at all to do with the sincerity of your “happy” side.
Defensiveness is natural but IME this accusation is best treated as an opportunity for self-reflection. Anyone who has felt similarly misunderstood should consider discussing with a therapist who specializes in anger management, because the first person to mention an anger problem is rarely the first to have noticed it. Having more control over how you feel is its own reward.
Edit: not directed @ OP, just anyone who has felt similarly accused
