If you’ve ever used a CNC router or mill, you’ll know how many little things need to go right before you get anything resembling acceptable results. We could (and probably should?) run …
Crazy, ain't it? I'm pretty consistently amazed at the poor media literacy I find on Lemmy.
Israel is obviously perpetuating a genocide.
That being said, this source is not reliable due to obvious bias and/or being propaganda. When you see something like that you look for other sources that are fact based and dry.
It's weird, I see the same behaviours and fanaticism on Lemmy that I saw from Qs and f right wing nuts. Just coming from the left now. Fucking facts are getting hard to discern.
My girl loves El Caminos and even says 'El Camino' in a funny voice every time we see one because of a zombie show we watched. I think she would replace my classic Ranger with one if I let her.
Middle spoon is best spoon. Most dyads will never know this joy.
Dang, I like cut myself on all that edge in your uname. You must totally be a 1337 operator. Teach us, we're not worthy.
You're in for a fun ride, wikipedia even has an article on just this: Health and Appearance of Michael Jackson.
In short: some kind of body dysmorphia, vitiligo, way too much money, and probably a personality disorder. He had so much plastic surgery done to his nose that the plastic actually broke through the surface of his nose. There is a lot of back and forth as to whether or not he was a child sexual predator or just trying to recapture a stolen childhood as an abused child star.
Nobody better fuck with my girl Dolly. That's how you get the metalheads all riled up.
You never know, it could microphotography. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Yes, but we need to be very careful here. Histronics are all fine and well. However, knowing all the facts as reported by the AP or Reuters is important.
The rank and file of the far right is going to be fed info about how he was arrested for domestic violence and had already been deported before.
ICE wasn't in the courtroom and didn't cause a scene. The judge was tipped off by a clerk that they were in the building.
We're all very aware of the propaganda the right is fed. We need to know the facts so it doesn't happen to us.
ICE made a scene in the courtroom?
Birdshot is perfectly acceptable in a home defense situation given the short ranges. It does have a lower lethality but unobstructed head and chest shots will most likely be fatal and will incapacitate.
An advantage to bird shot is that two layers of drywall may slow it down enough to prevent lethal injuries to bystanders such as family members in other rooms.
A disadvantage is that it will likely be stopped by body armor where buckshot packs enough punch that it can cause severe injury even if it doesn't penetrate.
I don't have ready sources for this, just general informed opinion.
That is the largest wood lathe I have seen. Super fucking dangerous setup, as well. Maybe it's only spinning at single digit RPM and you can't tell.
So I can easily get pretty much all of this through kwix directly? That will work. Throw it on my Raid. My media server is badly overworked but I should be able to use any old sbc as a frontend for the archive.
Anybody know where to find an archive of this disk?
It's all publicly available info, or was. I've got a Raid 5 I can throw it on, might come in handy during power outs and such.
I've got spare hard drives, and an old Pi and other computers around. No need to spend $189 on this when you can pretty easily DIY. The value is the prepackaged archive.
I see projects like kwix and such, but I don't immediately see this archive or anything comparable. Haven't looked into this before.
BTW, if you're actually worried about the end of the world or whatever, this won't save you. Make friends with your neighbors and communities. If you don't have a physical trade, you need to learn one like fixing shit or growing really good weed.

Holiday in Cambodia!
I'm not saying Voice of America is a good thing. I am saying, if you're a corporation loving far-right politician, Voice of America is a great thing and you certainly don't shut it down.
Holy fucking shit. How incredibly ignorant. No, really mind blowingly, shooting your own foot, sticking your dick in a hornet's nest, if the federal government was a person: this would be self-harm.
Voice of America is the main open propaganda arm of the federal government. All those US military bases all over the world broadcast this stuff. Arguably it helps trade and US corps influence foreign populations.
I'm not quite that bad but I definitely prefer green or amber on black terminals. That's how a command line is 'supposed' to look because that's what I learned on.
Wasn't it something like Linus really likes penguins?
Woah! Thanks for this, interesting hearing a firsthand account. Very similar to trailer park life in the US, in my experience. Public housing/the projects are also similar but I never spent much time in them, strong racial divide in most of the US between trailer parks and projects.
I'm assuming a fair amount of drugs/addiction, small scale petty crime, and domestic violence? Cookouts and parties? Is there pride in being from a commie block? Is there a culture and music? Also, while I'm blasting you with questions, any chance you know a good documentary or book/article?
Next time family movie night is my pick, I'm introducing them to this. Been forever since I watched it.
lemmy.world slow loading and timeouts, Jerboa app, morning of 2-18.
Been getting slow loads and timeouts all morning. Figure it will probably resolve on its own. Didn't see any reports. Running Jerboa 0.0.77-gplay.
Recommendations for teenager's first printer.
My son is about ready for his first printer. His school is running Cetus MK3 printers, he has a class using them, and his teacher has recommended this printer. He also has an educational seat of Fusion 360.
I'm proficient with Mastercam and hand written/modified G-code. I can help him with CAD no problem. Alignment, assembly, adjustment, and backlash are second nature for me. Have a little better than layman's understanding of printers. (Lusted over the Markforged printer that could do continuous carbon fiber.)
Eventually, will be building my own shop and hope my son might work with me. Hope to include printing, especially in metal.
I've seen some of the flap about Bambu and them closing up the software tool chain. I would like to avoid that sort of thing, for now, openness is better.
Top of my budget is around $500, with $200 probably being better.
Usable prints for tooling/spacers/repairs would be a bonus as would being able to print UV resistant plastic.
My goal for him is to
Project 2025 trackers?
Any of y'all got a tracker that is following which portions of Project 2025 have actually been enacted? Something like the chump lawsuit tracking? Not finding anything with a search.
Cyberule Dystopia
Just looking up some DIY medical procedures and then the unwanted AI goes off the rails.
Large ceramic or stoneware piece.
Found this broken piece in the creek bank. Southwest Pennsylvania. Farmhouse was built in 1922. Coalmining country.
Would have been about 18" in diameter. There is a rough coating in the glaze on the inside and outside of the bowl section. Abrasive enough that I figure it served a mechanical purpose. There are three grooves on the rim that aren't symmetrical to each other.
There might be a makers mark in the center of the glaze inside but I can't make it out. There is also a light blue/green stain on the bottom that might be a mark.
Any ideas?

Rewinding an electromagnetic clutch.
The electric PTO clutch on my 1969 mini tractor is dead and discontinued.
Original winding is aluminum 18 gauge. Manufacturer specs were 2.88ohms, 237 turns. The manufacturer specs didn't quite physically match what I found when I took apart the old clutch. If I understand this correctly, the 2.88ohms is the most important part and will pull 4.17 amps.
I just attempted a coil with 18 gauge copper magnet wire. I made it to the max dimensions I can get in the housing with a scramble wind. I'm getting 1.2 ohms, which would pull 10 amps or so. Not good.
Was able to get 187 feet given the resistance.
If I go with 20 gauge copper, assuming I can get 235 feet (1.26 * 187) and I should get 2.319 ohms. Probably get a little more than 235 feet and get the resistance up a little more.
What does this do to the strength of the magnetic field?

Found the original fireplace mantel half buried behind the garage.
Another before:
It's green Vermont slate, figured out that it was originally painted black and marbled. Victorian thing, faux marble mantels. Fireplace is also Victorian faux, red brick, would have had logs and a red light. I'll be putting in a gas insert at some point.
Started at 220grit, and worked up to 1000. Finished with a 50/50 mix of boiled linseed oil and mineral spirits:
Didn't realize slate could be this pretty and figured:
What kind of stone is this mantle?
So, I found this stone mantel behind the garage of the 100 year old house we just bought. It was mostly buried in the dirt. Fits our mantel perfect. Some sort of green stone. Was painted black at some point. I'm trying to strip the paint and want to refinish the stone. Area is southeast of Pittsburgh. Father of the man who built the house was an Italian stonemason that immigrated.
Don't think it's slate, has a tight grain and rings when you knock on it.
What kind of stone is this?
Neurotypical here, had a realization about my 'type' of romantic interest.
Cishet male. In no way do I mean offense or have I tried to take advantage of lower functioning individuals, that's just sick. Best I can figure, I'm a typical. Maybe I'm a little crazy; but who isn't.
During a discussion about my son's neurodivergency, I realized I have a 'type' of woman. (Son is technically stepson, but he's my boy.) I tend to be attracted to high functioning women that are on the spectrum.
I've been in four relationships with divergent women, three serious and two extended friends with benefits. I've been in two serious relationships with typical women. Many flings with typical women. Figure that's pretty statistically unlikely.
In my experience, divergent women tend to have a refreshing openness in communication. Painfully honest. Direct. They have some weird stuff that can be alternately cute and irritating. When sleeping they either don't like to snuggle or like being an octopus. (My preference is octopus but my wife only tolerates some side contact.) They lik
not a mushroom, but figure someone here will understand.
I'm 30 hours into a real bad trip. Didn't do it on purpose. Was cutting angel trumpet with an knife, was burning theroots.
Good thing Im experienced. Hospital would have been expensive.
This is some real bad shit. It's not fun. Stay away. Brugmanssia, Datura, hogweed, voodoo vine, don't fuck with it
Edit: waking up again, talked to my girl, she's okay. Have a unreal headache like a hangover. Going back to sleep. Typing is still difficult.
Edit: holy shit, still coming down. Trying for more sleep. I poisoned myself on accident. This is the nastiest thing I've ever run in to and I have experience. Please be careful around Angel trumpet and daura and such.
Edit: the boy is making me drip-drop electrolyte drink. I ate some olives. Ate some canned fruit. He found me some crackers. He's tired of hearing me tell him I love him. We're all going to be okay. It was close.
Edit: my fucking head hurts. Been a rough time. Think I'll be able to sleep hard soon. Walked to the corner store and b
jeebus. reading Vampirre$ for the first time.
Like this is hitting me real hard. I can feel the sadness and the fight. They're good boys and and don't deserve what's coming down. They have some good religion. I'd like to be like these men. We fight for the ones we love.
Saying goodbye tomorrow to a couple of guys I knew.

In the final stages of moving from the deep south to a northern state.
I used to run a shop under a corporation. Long story, but I integrated the shop, and built something beautiful. I had to use a temp service to do a lot of my hiring, I hired lots of black folks because they were undervalued and I could give them a good environment and pay. Was just starting to hire women. COVID and Qanon blew it the fuck up.
Tomorrow I'll be having lunch with two of my former crew. One of them is the only man I've ever called brother. He was my neighbor and best friend for years. I would have trusted him to help me hide a body. The other feller was a kind and gentle guy, had a bad divorce but was a teddy bear, was on the road back up.
They both went down the rabbit hole real bad.
I miss who they were and the shop we had. It was fucking jazz. I protected all of them from corporate. We made shit happen. I fought to get them more money an
OPENSCAD tool for custom printed strap clamps.
Pretty nifty. Using several clamps, I could see this working just fine for short run aluminum jobs.
Trailer brake circuit breaker advice.
We're preparing to move about 1000mi.
I'm getting my truck ready to tow a trailer for our three potbelly pigs, two cats and a dog.
'98 Ranger XLT with 4.0L V6, auto trans. Rated for 5900lbs tow, 9500 gross. Even has the overdrive disable and good rear end ratio.
I'm adding a Redarc Liberty brake control. The 7-way plug kit I got includes 30 and 40 amp auto reset breakers for the control and trailer power.
Here's the thing. I don't like the idea of an automatically resetting breaker at 30 amps or more due to the risk of fire or frying the electronics in my truck. I would prefer to install manual reset breakers. I understand that an auto reset might allow some brake capability in the event of a short and that is why they are used. I just don't feel like the auto breaker justification is that likely vs the other risks of auto breakers.
How long does it take the auto breakers to reset?
What are the real world risks using manual reset breakers?
Opinions/thoughts greatly appreciated!

Recommendations for cherry blue keyboards.
I use a Das Keyboard 4 Ultimate with cherry blues and love it. Have a good friend who likes using her grandson's gaming keyboard that I think is a nice membrane keyboard. She was interested in my keyboard as it is mechanical like the old keyboards she used back in the day.
We are both office users, not gamers.
I don't want to spend the $179 for a keyboard that might not be what she wants and there are better options now, from what I understand.
Can you please recommend a cherry blue mechanical with a number pad and a steel back plane?
