Fascinating, thanks for sharing.

I’m impressed how well all his pants grow!

funds that Israel must use to purchase U.S. military equipment and services

Oooh, I see. Free tax money for the MIC.

Thankfully electrek.co has the uncensored version.

I wonder how it was sealed. Is glazed ceramic + wax that airtight? The article (nor many very similar ones from other sites) doesn’t give specifics.

Ah, thanks for the proper name for it. Yeah, handy shape!

Thanks!

Looks great! I’m thinking about trying a mortise and tenon project. Any progress photos?

I guess if you’re hanging on to your Tesla stock at this point you must have some faith in Musk?

Just being forced to talk about how it’s going and what’s blocking can be helpful, so I’m glad you’re questioning for to be more useful, not doing a little rubber-ducking isn’t all bad.

I was hoping for hardwood! Seems like it’s probably not, though.

Yeah, I can pretty easily scratch it with my fingernail, which seems the same as a 2x4 scrap and much softer than some oak and maple scraps I have around.

Also looking more closely at the bigger scratches and screw holes I see lighter wood visible, I was a bit fooled by the stain on the bottom.

It was super heavy. But I have a hard time judging whether it’s heavier than a similar bulk of 2x4s.

It lifts out so you can easily empty the crumbs.

Neat photo, but seems like nature/macro not abstract?

:-D

Thanks! I didn’t get a great picture of that before leaving it with my mom, but it’s in the background here. Just made slots (dados?) for 1/8" plywood for the back.

Is she carrying a hatchet?

This biography quotes a description:

armed entirely in white, exept, for the head, a little ax in her hand, seated on a great black courser.

So Vullo encouraged many insurers to cut off ties with the NRA at the very moment that she was pursuing a major investigation into three companies that did business with the NRA. And she allegedly offered to shield one company from additional liability if it took further actions against the gun organization.

As Sotomayor’s opinion explains, that’s not allowed.

Perhaps because the opinion is written by Sotomayor, and not by a more right-wing justice who may be eager to use the state of New York’s blundering treatment of the NRA as an excuse to shut down legitimate enforcement actions against the gun group, the Court’s decision also includes some language ensuring that the investigation into Carry Guard remains valid.

Interesting nuance and reminder to not get carried away with punitive justice even when wielding the law against someone deserving.

Wow, how incredibly brave.

Wikipedia says

Scalping was not in itself fatal, though it was most commonly inflicted on the gravely wounded or the dead.

Still, one of many reasons I am glad to live in the time period and country I do. Though also a reminder of how close in our history America is to genocide:

on August 8, 1722, Massachusetts put a bounty on native families, paying 100 pounds sterling for the scalps of male Indians aged 12 and over, and 50 pounds sterling for women and children.
