Mobile living has its issues. From having a mailing address to a long list of repairs or maintenance issues that will require you to find space to deal with. Pets can be difficult, kids are a logistic problem with no end. Also, your home will never increase in value, while costing as much as a mortgage.

And here I thought we'd have to wait for nanomachines before we were all devoured by grey ooze.

By Russian regions, they mean Earth.

Ask him to define 'Americans'

The entire point of the take over was to stop independent journalism. Why exactly would that change? He's fine with CBS going bankrupt, all it's doing for him right now is covering the cost of killing it for him.

For profit prisons, and prison labor, should be illegal.

Except the dot com boom was widespread, and produced a lot of prosperity across the population. The AI bubble is like 6 people making a trillion dollars.

I admit I know nothing about them, but considering Trump has been booed when mentioned at least a few times at UFC matches, I'm wondering how long until they start dropping out of his cage match.

There's a push from corporate dems and AIPAC to shit on the left right now. From articles to paid influencers, expect a lot of bullshit noise, that will probably get louder as the election season goes on.

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.

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.
