Everyone keeps quiet so they don't hear you.

Is it a tiny bus or a huge otter?

There's a lot of hand waving to morality. When it comes to actual enforcement and application, it's a system of control used on the populace. Morality only gets applied when outrage reaches pressure points.

Legal and moral only rarely overlap, and usually by accident.

Because it's easier to breathe and more comfortable. It has less protection, but the majority of the time you're not being stabbed in the face.

Of course that one time you are being stabbed in the face, you're really going to have some regrets.

This is the kind of thing you should have thrown the bass player in to while the band plays on. The music stays good, everyone has fun, and there's no risk to a person.

What do you call transporting groups of people for money, when the only restraint is that the state doesn't want those people where you are taking them?

Human trafficking is the trading of slaves. It's just a subset of what goes on around slavery.

You have to remember, in the US slavery isn't really illegal, it's just illegal to do privately. The state can, and does, still sentence people to slave labor. So the reason they refer to trafficking is that it's the illegal part of the slavery.

Hydrogen is a lot higher density than batteries, but nowhere on the scale of diesel.

Under about 150 mile range batteries are winning due to minimum equipment needs, above that hydrogen has a place in mobile storage.

I question the accuracy, only because Exxon is that low on the chart.

It'll get dropped, but the poor bastard they're persecuting won't get a settlement. The government will have immunity.

Just wondering if anyone has experience with pouring aluminum or copper on their pottery? We've done melts with glass, but getting ready to try aluminum, and maybe copper if that works out.

WASHINGTON, Feb 3 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday ordering the creation of a sovereign wealth fund within the next year, saying it could potentially buy the short video app TikTok. Trump offered little in the way of detail and it was unclear how such a wealth fund would work. Typically such funds rely on a country's budget surplus to make investments, but the U.S. operates at a deficit. Its creation also would likely require approval from Congress.

Circular saw advice (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 years ago by Skyrmir@lemmy.world to c/tools@lemmy.world

About to be in the market for a new circular saw, just looking for the typical 7.25 blade saw. One thing that has constantly bothered me though is the depth adjustment. Every saw I've ever had used a flip lever on a nut in the back, and that's always been the point of failure. They slip, break, seize or otherwise fail first before anything else on the saw. And it's literally the only setting on a saw that i ever touch beyond changing blades.

So what brand has a reliable depth adjustment?

Saw a post mentioning an old Scottish gentleman that had saved a bottle of whiskey to drink the day Margaret Thatcher died. And I'm quite sure he enjoyed the drink.

So my question to the community, what's the best drink for the day any major politician finally kicks the bucket? Should it be your own favorite spirit, or something to denote the character, and vitriol, of the deceased? Something sweet to enjoy the day, or harsh to remember the bitterness of their character?

I'm trying to plan a shelf for my dining room. Each bottle labeled for who they're waiting for.
