Cradles solid af.
Gave the model the lengths of all the scrap wood I had, and after several iterations we came up with a workable set.
Spent $50 on structural screws, and now I have no more scrap wood.
I hate crawling underneath a car on jack stands. Told GPT to come up with a solution. Came up with cribbing as it paraphrased me:
“I don't want my life depending on whether one Harbor Freight-looking ratchet pawl decided today was its day.”
spot on.

There's some interesting behavior that I've found where it's definitely more static and updates aren't live afaict.
If you want, you can make it public on the site itself so it ends up in the directory, too. That way others can subscribe to it without having to recreate it.

Oh yeah, we positively Heritage American in comparison - even in greater Long Beach. Downtown got some rioting during Covid, but nothing so crazy.

Jesus, these two are both so far up their own assholes.
Neither one pointing out the insane difficulty of controlling the cohesive network of physical things required to harm large groups of humans, let alone all of them.
Distributed destructive systems are crazy hard.

Dude goes on an insanely long diatribe about how "we're at the lowest poverty ever" is falsifiable bullshit, and then comes up with this claptrap.
Changes In The Land helped me to understand two ways of living - either being cool with suffering and hunger, or planning against it. OP is suggesting that hunger is not poverty, and well, that's where I stop trying to change hearts and minds.

The dialectic of female students at our son’s university on a hot day - dressing trashy, yet refusing to imply anything from it - is best captured (unsurprisingly) by Chappelle.

EDM has its own entry because it was my entire next musical chapter. Can't list the hundreds of records I amassed DJ'ing...
Underworld's Born Slippy is a generational banger - off of the Trainspotting album (can't find it separately on the site).

Jesus Christ Superstar shaped my Christianity more than anything before or after it.
Street Spirit (Fade Out) never stops going insanely hard.
Empire was my first CD;Jet City Woman still slapping me to last Tuesday.
NIN PHM - still remember walking off a breakup at uni to it.

"WRX Part-out" or "WRX exhaust" would get me some good hits, along with the pictures which let me figure out the specifics of what they were selling.
"WRX exhaust" netted me a listing of a set of mufflers, but the second pic was the money shot:

OfferUp/FB Marketplace are just incredible.
It is technically against the law to have these parts.
Did you know it is illegal to buy/install a used catalytic converter in California? A hypothetical totaled Subaru WRX can be parted-out along with its cats for many hundreds less than the new parts from the dealer. Salvage yards in Cali are simply prohibited from doing so.

Your OP reply:
> We literally work more hours than a medieval peasant.
then:
> I explicitly said we work more than them because the OPP was about not wanting to spend your entire life slaving away
So naturally I pasted in the Grok answers, and maybe we're disagreeing on explicit hours-on-the-job*. The thing is, to your later point "not wanting to spend your entire life slaving away" - when the peasant got home, it wasn't a matter of just cleaning up the dishes and taking care of the 8 kids. Subsistence work was _additional_ work that they had to do that we don't. I don't fetch water, tend my land (out of necessity), or make clothing. Those things are available to me *by way of my existing labor hours*.
*using the male stat in the screenshot, and averaging to 3000, even working a 57-hour work week, I'm still not exceeding that.

Wish they’d gone with the vacuum approach, but it’s probably less reliable long term.

A little over two months in, and down approx 10 lbs. 5 more to go if I want to comfortably compete at light-feather.
Interesting side-effect is increased resting heart rate starting in July. This is a known, and apparently drops off at week ~36 (!). It should be 50’ish.
Back to 1.25mg for the 3rd dose.
Let’s talk upsides:
- cardio-based activity has benefited
- inflammation has gone down (arthritis in shoulders is way less of a problem after training)
- food is still appealing, I just get full way earlier (like normal humans?)

First piece of the puzzle secured.
Cobb Accessport for the WRX so that I can pull the ECU, send it and the accessport to them, and get the OEM map installed.
$220, versus $700. Secondhand market is just incredible for so many things.

My man got it fixed on the same day it was delivered. Wearing a Rusteze hat, naturally.
So I’m learning a lot about bicycle bottom brackets, and so is my son. 300 miles apart.
Sending literally all the parts and tools to him only costs $22, and it gets there overnight.

There is something hard-wired in me to own a vehicle and all of the accessories necessary to pack and travel smart. This mule was able to stow a whole dorm’s worth of clothes and supplies, along with 3 people and a bike.

Also, you’ll amass boxes and boxes of these fasteners which will definitely be just wrong enough to infuriate you on some later project.
Other times when it works, it’s pretty sweet.

So we need to turn the front bathroom into a shower so that we can demo the actual shower because the shower pan has been slowly leaking for 15 years under the house.

They are an insignificant drop in the bucket in terms of energy use for the gain that they do/can provide to humans. Nobody has had a problem with it until it became popular to have a problem with it.

This is quite possibly the most lucid and honest POV I’ve heard on the subject ever.
If this was the public growth POV, so much of the heated (hah!) discourse would never have occurred.

Keep government small and incapable of allowing fringe groups to power.
