  • Wouldn't this be a good thing for the fresh water supply in the US if the US stopped exporting alfalfa.

    Sure, I didn't read this article, so I'm just going off all the previous years of articles about how much fresh water this is using. And I've never researched the downstream effects of cattle in the middle east becoming more expensive.

  • In all the surveys I get from stores, i always put in the comments that the employees were working hard and the store needs to hire more people.

    The vast majority of workers are just trying to get their job done.

  • I don't understand why they can't just add a line item for tariffs cost and why they can't say the cost of tariffs is being passed on to customers.

    Instead they talk about raising the price of goods due to changing global operating costs.

    That makes it sound like the price is something they control and the money is going to them. But the money for US tariffs will be going to the US government, not to these companies.

  • We should really keep talking about how Elon is the real president and Trump is just the secretary.

    Use words that they understand, like pointing out how Musk is still having kids and it's been 19/20 years since Trump was able to sire a kid. In the MAGA world, doesn't that show how much more deserving Musk is and that Trump is used up?

    Something to get them infighting and destroy themselves from within.

    Cleaned my computer mouse

    Started on one computer mouse needing a new AA battery. Then re-glued the foot pad that had fallen off and was making it rock. While vigorously testing the other foot pads, they came off, and so I ended up re-gluing them all.

    Then went one to another mouse and started to clean some dust in the corners of it. Turned out the dust was enough that I had an excuse to take it apart. Then there was enough random tiny fibers/hairs that I couldn't get off that I went to use the air compressor to really get it clean. And re-glued the feet pads here, because, why not.

    With as much as I take apart my computer mice, it causes the factory sticky tape to fail. So I actually cut out an access whole where the foot pad covers the hidden screws. And then I can use gel super glue to keep the foot pads down fully without curling.

    Do ceiling fan motors from the same manufacturer and same time change based on the blade length?

    Currently installed is a recent (about 10 years) Harbor Bay 5 blade ceiling fan with 44" blade diameter.

    In a box I have a recent (about 10 years) Harbor Bay 5 blade ceiling fan with 52" blade diameter.

    Yes, the large blades will run the motor harder.

    Would these two fans likely use the same motor, so that I can just swap the larger blades and leave the current motor? Or is there a high chance the motors are sized specific to their blades, and I would need to fully swap the motor to use the larger blades?

    The blades appear to use the same connection.
