You mean the guy that had just finished running the CIA that brokered the Iran Contra deal during Reagan.

Bush went into Iraq because we never punished Reagan for Iran-Contra.

Reagan got away with Iran Contra because we never punished Nixon for Watergate.

Nixon got away with Watergate because we never punished Johnson for the Gulf of Tonkin.

From the actual bill:

HOWEVER, THAT IF THE WORKING GROUP DETERMINES THAT IT IS NOT TECHNOLOGICALLY FEASIBLE TO REQUIRE THREE-DIMENSIONAL PRINTERS SOLD IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK TO INCLUDE BLOCKING TECHNOLOGY, THE WORKING GROUP SHALL SO REPORT, AND NO REGULATIONS SHALL BE REQUIRED TO BE PROMULGATED PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION, UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE WORKING GROUP DETER- MINES THAT IT IS TECHNOLOGICALLY FEASIBLE.

Considering the number of open source 3d printers, and mills, plus conversion packages for manual mills, It's ludicrous to assume it's feasible. And NY has nowhere near the manufacturing monopoly to force the rest of the country, let alone the world, to comply with a demand that all of them have blocking systems.

Even given the safety check of a working group, this same bill also makes a stick illegal. So it's more than likely to fail on a few challenges, assuming it even makes it to final vote in this form.

Somewhere out on youtube are the screen tests he's talking about. It's very good that they chose Hamill and Harrison for the parts. Several of the other actors were great actors, but would have been terrible for the part, and some were just bad.

Business success is a skill, and knowledge set, that's crucial to the economy, without which the US wouldn't be a global leader. The point of having multiple skill set leaders on a small council is to prevent the 'business above all else' mind set from prevailing, while also making sure needed expertise is at the table.

I'd call them more of an adversary than an enemy. They don't have any real ill intent to the US, but don't care about taking foreign resources from us.

Fucking embarrassing

Because Australia is already hotter than Satan's taint.

The global economy is severely weakened, but stable. There is also a long list of developments that could crater everything, both literally and figuratively, and very little to look forward to for the vast majority of the population.

Best case scenario is the ending of multiple hostilities, allowing the resumption of trade, and a slow grinding recovery.

Worst case scenario is an extinction event, either caused by escalation in Ukraine, or to a lesser extent Iran, leading to nuclear conflict.

Both extreme's are unlikely, and the entire range between them is just various levels of who is going to get fucked.

Print using a scarf joint so the seams have an overlap. Also that would get them up off the build plate where your warping problem is.

Depends on the actual spot, there a holes in the bottom of some of those canals, there could have been a head injury when she fell. Until someone is actually standing where she fell in, you don't actually know the depth.

She'd be great as Senate Majority leader. Especially if AOC were to take Schumers seat.

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 1 year 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.
