  • No to slavery!

    Jump

  • I live in a fairly blue state which tends to lean into highlighting the atrocities of the south during the Civil War (and all other eras to be frank) and I never learned about John brown until after high school

  • Who said you can move furniture with a bike?

    Jump

  • Good eyes! I wonder how theyre actuated?

  • At what point does it become prudent to actually add brakes to the trailer like a truck would have? 300kgs (plus trailer, rider, etc) is a lot of weight for two bike wheels to stop.

    I wonder what that would look like from a bike builders perspective.

  • Power Word: OBEY

  • Where can this 10 hour midwest emo Playlist be found?

  • Thousands of years ago, when tools were very primitive, it was probably common to have a favorite rock.

    Jump

  • There's an area in the cascade range (western US, specifically oregon) that is a giant field of knapped obsidian, that was used as a training ground for young knappers, as well as a trading ground to trade knapped obsidian that has been found all over the western US. Not just miles, but many many miles. I'll see if I can go find a link.

  • Nonreplacable air hose on hose reel

    Jump

  • I dont think it's a banjo fitting. Fairly certain banjo fittings are not meant to move once tightened down. Another poster is right though, if you take it to a hose shop, they will probably be able to cut the old hose off and crimp a new one on. Just google "hose shop in [your town]" and there's likely to at least be one in the next town over. I live in a mid sized city and there are like 3.

  • [OC] Cherry blossoms

    Jump

  • I have a tree like this in my front yard. It fell down in the 60s during a windstorm when my dad was a kid, and then the stump grew a new shoot. The "new" tree is 60 years old and covers most of the front yard. Every may, it turns into a giant pink ball almost overnight.

  • ‘Now You See Me 4’ in the Works as Third Movie Gets Official Title: ‘Now You See Me: Now You Don’t’

    Jump

  • Wow. What a throwback. He ranted about those movie titles on harmontown how many years ago? That had to have been close to a decade ago.

  • Burning wood is not ‘renewable energy,’ so why do policymakers pretend it is?

    Jump

  • The Portland (Oregon) airport recently finished remodeling their main atrium area and they used some pretty incredible engineered wood beams. I know a guy who worked on the mill that built those beams. The mill assembles plywood veneer (thin sheets about an eighth of an inch or so, usually in 4x8 foot sheets) into like 16 inch thick, 12 foot wide, however long you want pieces, and then they can basically cut out anything that isn't a beam from this massive brick of engineered wood.

    Here's a pic

    The picture doesn't show these massive plywood beams, but if you ever fly through pdx, go check out the main atrium just past security. It's absolutely breathtaking, and it's mostly wood.

  • But but but...

    Jump

  • That's a pretty boilerplate criticism. While true to a great degree, it's also true of a lot of western capitalist nations.

    It's pretty hard to find information about real communist societies because media companies have it in their best interest to bury any good that has possibly been done by a communist society, meanwhile demonizing them and making them the enemy. You really have to dig to find honest information about communist societies.

    Moreover, a lot of otherwise successful communist regimes have been sabotaged and poisoned by capitalist interests. Either by literally arming fascists, or just by demonizing them with foreign policy and media coverage.

  • Teacher ordered to remove signs from classroom, including one saying ‘Everyone is welcome here’

    Jump

  • https://www.westada.org/

    As close as I could get. I couldn't find in a brief search of the site if there was a staff lookup. But I'm pretty sure you can look up an licensed teacher if you know what state they're in, which Is how I found that she's licensed and active in that district.

  • What happens to all the used guns?

    Jump

  • Hooooo boy. There's a lot you can't do. If you have a rifle (that uses a 'rifle' round as opposed to a pistol round), your barrel must be over a certain length. But if you have a "rifle" that is chambered in say 9mm (a pistol round), doesn't matter. Barrel could be 4 inches long. But then it can't have a stock. So you have a "wrist brace" (read:totally not a stock I promise) instead. There's a bunch of wacky shit the atf and congress have come up with.

  • How to install Debian Testing... and why you might not want to

    Jump

  • Liver spots are a skin condition that fairly old people sometimes get. They're like big, dark freckles. Usually pretty harmless. The above poster is referring to Debian not accepting packages unless they're quite old.

  • Scaffolding jack screws for a vise?

    Jump

  • You're correct that slop in the threads just means some extra backlash. I could see, depending on the construction of the vise, having some axial play due to that slop being bad, but vises usually have some other means to control movement in that direction. The only thing the threaded piece does is push or pull.

  • Video: Macklemore's new song critical of Trump and Musk is facing heavy censorship across major platforms.

    Jump

  • I get that you probably didn't mean much by it but don't let if be "a balm to your soul" let it inspire you to action and speaking up against this regime.

  • Should I be Concerned?

    Jump

  • Thanks for the info. I'm stoked that they didn't get buried by the lawsuit. They employ a lot of people in my community and their Chilipeño chips are the bomb!

  • Should I be Concerned?

    Jump

  • I just noticed the Juantonitos instead of Juanitas thing in the store tonight. And I felt like I was being gaslit. Like a Bearenstien bears gag. When did that happen? I would have thought I would have heard about it because they've got a factory in the next town over.

  • AOC says she's worth less than $500,000 after kickback claims — and seems to get kudos from Trump fans in response

    Jump

  • If someone made half a million a year I'd say they were rich... half a million in total assets would just mean you own a home and might have something saved for retirement.

    I'm not saying that it's poor, and I know that there's a good chunk of America that's "worth" less than like 10k, and probably a good number of people who are in the negative, but half a million isn't fabulously rich.

    Half a million is within reach for people who didn't start out dirt poor, got an education, and a professional gig. I say this as someone who would be worth less than 10k if I didn't inherit my home. A lot of people's Net Worth Includes things that they can essentially never turn into actual money, but it still acts as a money saving asset.
