Don't worry, they're monitoring regardless of you using the service.

It's a composite ore containing iron, copper, and probably some zinc. Possibly other metals. It would have to be tested to verify. Most likely the iron content is well below useful grades.

Grind it to a powder, separate with a magnet, mix with aluminum powder and ignite.

I'm assuming you have at least a few hundred pounds of raw ore to be processed. I'd probably go after the copper rather than the iron, but I have no idea the chemistry needed to do so.

Never had my neighborhood on a cop show, but I have lived near multiple school shootings. Does that count?

From those I know across the South, it's a combination of 'my team is R, if they suck we'll just vote for them harder' and 'I'm white, so I vote for R'

It's an entirely emotional set of arguments backed up by jingoist dogma. That's why talking about policy to them is entirely useless. You can't logic someone out of a position they didn't logic themselves in to.

The US produces 200GWh of batteries per year total, and is projected to reach 4-500 in the near future with new construction coming on line, and large portions of that ear marked for grid scale storage. So it's probably a couple decades to accomplish the whole project, maybe less if we really push.

No argument against her being great at the job, I just seriously doubt she can build a campaign that could actually win the White House. The DNC is already taking steps to prevent progressives, let alone socialists from winning the primary. If she were to win the primary, the establishment dems would very likely sabotage her at every turn, and happily lose any election just to prevent her from winning.

It's way too far out to tell anything really. It's going to be decided between mid terms and the next primary season. If she's going to go after the presidency, she'll have to have Jeffries and Schumer locked down before the primary, or it won't even be worth the attempt.

I'm just wondering why they would? I mean rare books have already been scanned, if they wanted them for training, what's the point of even wanting the physical copy?

They could tax insurance sales to high risk or high value properties. They're the ones that will ultimately be the biggest burden in a fire anyway.

In reality the costs should fall on the utility companies that likely caused several of the fires. But that would raise prices for everyone.

Exactly, because it's otherwise a useless state for the Dems in the presidential race since it will never be a blue state. That's also the point of moving Michigan and Virginia, make the candidates spend a boatload of money to survive Super Tuesday. Since they don't expect the DSA candidates to have superPac money to help them.

It's often cheaper to fly to another country, or even just go without insurance, and yet we're paying astronomical rates for insurance. And there's any confusion why people are tired of the bullshit?

Id guess it happened about the same time the big ass plate was installed.

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.
