  • Plenty of them seem to have just memory-holed it. I check on the posts of one very random extreme right winger occasionally, and I'm guessing she didn't like his post because she's posted twice as much today as she usually does. But it's all just her normal talking points: A Bible verse, Mamdani's rent control will hurt poor people, election fraud "pass the save act" reminders, and Obama/Biden/communists open borders child trafficker conspiracies. It's like she's trying to drown out the the information she doesn't want to hear.

    They're very effectively siloed off in their social media echo chambers, this is why that 33% support number doesn't move. In my opinion, the number of articles about "they're finally outraged" just lulls people into a false sense of security and obscures actual developments.

  • I hope Vance is losing a lot of sleep over this.

  • Damn, that's no exaggeration, I wasn't prepared for the quality of that.

    I'm going to have the hook "your government is run by pedophiles, they ordered you to die for Israel" stuck in my head for a while. Those are not words I ever expected would be catchy lyrics, but here we are.

  • a swivel-arm, but the weight of two monitors would be a lot for something like that

    I'm still wanting to build a rolling desk myself and have some components already, but you might want this: Humanscale M10. It's pricey but it's the heaviest-load arm on the consumer market. It can take 48lb, and if that's overkill, they have cheaper arms that will carry less. You might find some of the cheaper brands will do what you need without the cost, but I don't have experience with them.

    Skip their expensive crossbar adapter though, you can use any much cheaper VESA bracket adapter, you just need the arm itself to be solidly constructed.

    The real issue for the design you have in mind though is center of gravity. You're stuck with attaching it to something very heavy and wide. I'm still in the early stages of fixing that problem myself. My solution is likely to involve significant amounts of V slot aluminum profile.

  • Given the aim of the first talk was to agree on "keep talking", that's not a great sign of things to come.

  • Forget the crusades, I want to see them reconcile with child abuse and smuggling fascists through the WW2 Ratlines.

  • A republished Reuters piece with no indication they're a "content partner" of Reuters. This is either plagiarism or a propaganda campaign.

    So I'm going to repost my comment on the other link too:

    Khamenei's face was disfigured in the attack on the supreme leader's compound in central Tehran and he suffered a significant injury to one or both legs, all three sources said... The 56-year-old is nonetheless recovering from his wounds and remains mentally sharp... He is taking part in meetings with senior officials via audio conferencing and is engaged in decision-making on major issues including the war and negotiations ‌with Washington...

    Ok.

    The question of whether Khamenei's health allows him to run state affairs...

    You just said he was already working. What question? How would 6 week old facial and leg injuries prevent him from running state affairs?

    Writing an article about how Iranian society is responding to largely invisible leadership is fine, but that's only very briefly mentioned at the end of the article. The rest of the article is a whole lot of words to only say "we don't know much about him".

    This is just ableist JAQing off.

  • I also got into computers, thinking about it now, the tactile aspect was probably part of it. A power button making fans go whir and hard drives making slight crunchy noises and my keyboard with real springs... I miss a lot about that.

  • Also that power supply, Honeywell / microswitch used to have a huge market share for those sorts of components and it looks a lot like it could be one of their paddle/lever rocker switches, maybe AML33EBA4AA01. I don't think microswitch components are easy or cheap to come by anymore but salecom do knock off versions of lots of them that will likely suit your needs

  • These are awesome. You make me miss the days of proper physical controls with real haptic feedback. Not this touchscreen with a little vibrator in it bullshit.

    I also really wish I could push those buttons now. I want to know what they feel like!

  • You want some kind of metal waterproof flush mount momentary push button switch, but without a brand name, it's hard to say which will give you the right feel. There's no telling what sort of spring mechanism is in there.

  • I'm guessing that the House Oversight Committee wants her to testify, so she's trying to head it off at the pass before they officially ask.

    Maybe Maxwell's slow trickle of claims in pro se filings had something that Bondi couldn't make go away.

  • Eh, at least this money would go to innocent people and put back into their community's economy. Not like the money spent on Palantir and the White House nuclear winter ballroom.

  • Let's not gloss over this part:

    ...that the Department of Homeland Security had also posted a few hours earlier.

    It's all fucked up. I can only hope Easmin's family sues and get a massive payout for the extra trauma inflicted by having this tragedy exploited for political purposes by both DHS and Trump. Truly ghoulish.

  • Finland and West Germany were more major trading partners with the USSR, and more than half of Yugoslavia's trade was with the OECD.

    Yugoslavia's economy destabilized firstly from the 70s oil crises and the IMF loans tied to requirements to privatize industries. Many of those loans were taken with the premise that the USSR may invade and the funds were necessary for defense.

  • That is a very oddly binary take on geopolitics. Slovenia was part of Yugoslavia in the 70s, Yugoslavia was one of the founders of the Non Aligned Movement.

  • Slovenia wasn't part of the Soviet bloc though

  • Slovenia is Eastern Europe?

  • Trump isn't the disease, he's just the most visible symptom.
