I made no claim that Russia, or Israel, were doing anything worse, or that either had committed lesser crimes. You're asking for an explanation to something that never happened.

Russia is tactically a greater threat to western nations than Israel, isn't a statement of support, or condemnation of either nation, it's a simple statement of fact. Israel cannot produce it's own weapon systems, it buys them from other nations, primarily the US. Which makes it really hard for them to sustain any level of threat to the US or it's interests.

Democrats can't do it. Republicans can ignore rules, but might have court room speed bumps.

Cartel behavior isn't regulated on an international level. Or within most nations. So not a lot of chances for that, until there's some global structural changes.

There's a good deal of money behind keeping screens you can read in sunlight, staying very expensive. Even outside of eReaders.

I could care less about Piker, but if it gets rid of Carville then it's a win.

The problem is that they made a new rail gun, and told Trump about how awesome it is. Except none of our boats have a big enough generator, or could carry a large enough one. But a battleship would be. It's still a bad idea because of more economic and tactical reasons, but that won't stop them from trying.

I've seen a few polls on him. I don't know who their next senator is going to be, but it's not going to be Fetterman.

They're easy to cut down for now. The next step is going to be making them radio antenna's that mount on light poles so they're way harder to see or reach. The camera function will get removed, since it isn't needed anyway.

I haven't seen any reliable evidence of anything yet, but there's plenty of reasons to be sus about tens of thousands of people showing up the way they did. Adding to that is how little reporting there has been in the West, about what led up to them showing up in Morocco.

I don't know what it is, but I can guarantee there is more to how it all went down than what our media is telling us.

Does it ever mean they're fully removed?

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.
