@Rothmus Those who are opposed to corporations and favor government do not realize that government is simply the largest, most monopolistic corporation of all and it has a monopoly on violence.

@scottastronaut I’m guessing this isn’t your work in Craters of the Moon National Monument either.

@ann_gibeaut @Ford look up CDF drum bushing migration on the 10R80 transmission. Supposedly fixed for transmissions built/rebuilt after sometime in 2022 (don’t recall date, there’s a TSB on it). It’s a faulty design that any maintenance schedule wouldn’t have prevented issues with.

@madebyroom Some feedback on Phone Booth. We have 5+ of them at one of my work sites and in general, I think they're great. I use them as drop in space multiple times a month.

One issue/safety concern. When first using Phone Booth, I opened the door into my head. I unconsciously expected the door glass to be the movable part and not the entire frame (we have the black model). That the entire frame moves is clear once you look at it, but when I opened the door quickly I ran the edge of the frame into my forehead. This happened two times over the course of a week, once hard enough to leave a mark on my forehead that others commented about. I'm not normally clumsy or subject to self-injury -- so I think there's an opportunity to make the edge of the door frame more visible/prominent. Perhaps trim or something to indicate that that's the moving edge. When you start to open the door, it blends in with the rest of the frame, especially when multiple phone booths are mounted next to each other. It hasn't happened to me in a while--so I've learned--but I've heard other team members mention being surprised by the door as well.

A couple of enhancement ideas:
1. A grommet hole in the desk. When using shorter cables to power something like a MacBook Air, the USB-C ports are mounted on the left of the computer, but wall power is on the right. This means that the cord is going to stretch across your lap, the keyboard, or tightly behind the computer. If there was a grommet hole in the upper right of the desk that would allow cable routing around the computer without those issues. It wouldn't need an actual grommet cover in it, but a hole with perhaps a finished edge or insert.
2. There's no obvious position to place a bag other than on the floor. A spring retracted bag/coat hook mounted on the wall to the left of the stool (when viewed facing the desk) by the door would be perfect. An alternative idea would be a shelf/cubby across the existing leg supports on the stool. That would provide a place to slide a bag into, which would still be accessible when seated just by reaching down.

@RobS7 @FirstSquawk That was ballpark my estimate too. 6k sq ft roof and 10kW AC. I don’t have the estimate anymore, but couldn’t believe that it more than double the combined price of replacing my tile + a traditional PV setup. Needless to say, I didn’t bite either…

🚨🇺🇸 Read this contract and ask why every candidate doesn't have one...

James Fishback notarized his campaign promises, all seven, under Florida's perjury statute.

Reject AIPAC and foreign lobby donations.

Never trade stocks in office.

No mandates, no lockdowns, no criminalizing speech, no new data centers.

Break one, and his 2030 re-election bid is gone forever, by his own signature.

Politicians ABANDON promises the day after the confetti drops.

Here's one who made abandoning them cost him his career.

Voters everywhere should be taking notes, we need more of this energy.

@grok provide a rigorously unbiased, comprehensive historical analysis of deaths attributable to major ideological and religious movements since 1 CE. Restrict attribution strictly to cases in which the movement’s core doctrines, teachings, or ideology constituted the primary motivation for organized hostilities, mass killings, persecutions, or policy-driven deaths directed against other groups.
Explicit inclusion criteria: Count deaths only when the movement itself (e.g., religious duty of jihad or holy war, class-based elimination of enemies under communist ideology, religiously mandated crusades or suppression of heresy) was the dominant driver, as evidenced by contemporary proclamations, legal/theological justifications, or official policy.
Explicit exclusion criteria: Do not count purely geopolitical, dynastic, imperial-expansionist, nationalist, economic, or resource-driven conflicts even when carried out by states or populations identifying with a given movement (example: include the Crusades as primarily religiously motivated against Christianity; exclude modern U.S.-led wars in the Middle East as geopolitical).
Structure the analysis as follows:
1. Clear statement of methodology and criteria.
2. Quantitative ranges of estimates (low–high, with median or consensus figures where available) drawn from primary sources, demographic studies, and major scholarly works, noting methodological strengths, weaknesses, and historiographical debates for each.
3. Separate assessments for Communism, Islam, Christianity, and any other movements that produced comparable scale under the same strict criteria (e.g., National Socialism if ideology-primary).
4. Direct evaluation of the claim that Islam and Communism constitute the two largest such destroyers of life.
5. Comparative ranking and contextual discussion of relative scale, duration, intensity, and intentionality.
6. Explicit acknowledgment of uncertainties, data gaps (especially pre-modern periods), and competing interpretations.
Rely exclusively on verifiable historical records and peer-reviewed or widely cited scholarship; present all major competing estimates side-by-side without advocacy; avoid contemporary political commentary

Something is at war with us, “us” being regular citizens who want things to work and to be left alone. We’re slow to react because we think in terms of nations. Our enemies are mafias that wear our governments like a cloak to defeat our eyes, and fly our flags to disarm our minds

They taught you the American Revolution was about a tax on tea.

That's like saying the Civil War was about hats.

The tax was the spark.

The real target was a system where government and politically connected corporations became one.

Your history is off. The year 1929 was not when things became severe. The real problems began in 1931, which is why Benjamin Anderson called it "the tragic year." For four years Hoover intervened every way he could think of, and things only got worse. The 1932 interventions were especially disastrous.

The so-called deflation in 1920-21 was MUCH more pronounced than in the Great Depression, and we are told that that is supposed to make depressions especially severe. Yet it didn't, thanks to the laissez-faire approach Harding wisely adopted. In fact, Joseph Schumpeter said that the 1920-21 depression was proof that downturns are self-reversing by ordinary market forces.

What's more, by the time FDR came around, the economy had already turned a corner. By July 1932, the massive financial bubble of the 1920s had finally finished clearing out. Toxic debt had been purged, unviable banks had failed, and asset prices had bottomed out.

Historical data from the summer and fall of 1932 show commodity prices stabilizing, industrial production index numbers ticking upward, and freight car loadings increasing, all traditional signs that the business cycle was naturally correcting itself.

So of course FDR deserves the blame for the persistence of the Depression. It's incredible that we're still debating this. Every last thing he did interfered with the adjustments necessary for recovery.
