Hey, I believe in solidarity.
Of the 99.99%.

purely hypothetical
A small group of sociopaths continue to make everyone's future ever worse by the day, and the need to do something about is... hypothetical?
-
A learned journo I read says all that old class stuff is all but meaningless now, and the new division pits the 'knowledge class' against everyone else...
Not sure how much of it I buy

therefore 200m is harder to achieve without making it disproportionately thick
Pff, pretty sure I've seen dudes on YouTube making a water resistant watch good for 300m just by putting oil in it... Why doesn't someone just do that in the factory? Probably best as something with wireless charging, I guess, but still.

Getting towards the actual point, as a free will sceptic I'm inclined to say the only thing to be ashamed of is shame itself...
Otoh, western society is rather blind to the staggering opulence afforded by subsidised fossil fuel consumption, and perhaps we should feel unending guilt over our complicity with this systemic domination of the global south and the rampant exploitation and poisoning of the biosphere, huh

No pun intended
Literally incredible

Here's a Le Mans winner absolutely gunning it in an old Ford Galaxie... Bit of a treat for racing fans

That's cool, I love only the minutes/seconds marked...
Does it sweep?

Our 'justice' systems are anything but.
Imagine people demanded that whole angle of managing society to be reformulated in light of the last century or so of science...
How fucking obvious does it have to be before the penal system is seen as the vast net detriment it actually is? Are people really that fearful and easily turned against each other?
Why is it so hard for us to see who we really need to turn against?

Oh yeah, here's the other killer app for these

Now that's a snappy reply

Sweet Jesus. Had no idea this was a thing! This is not good. Not good at all.
Pretty tempting rabbit-hole, innit.
How about this wrinkle - an FPV cam at driver's perspective!
Been meaning to stick the one from my fried drone onto a car... Something a lot faster though

Fancy!
Brandishing an expensive education perhaps...?
:P

if I need to drill pilot holes
I have never regretted drilling pilot holes.
Except when I made them a tad too big that one time

Well, he does get around to mentioning Project 2025 at the end, where it becomes clear that's what the title of the video refers to...
But the interesting part is how he's also talking about wealth distribution, which has been Bernie territory up till now - Reagan started smashing the middle class, and Clinton happily jumped on that bandwagon, with Obama doing bugger-all to turn it around beyond the watered-down ACA.
Biden had kind of embraced something of a return to FDR style government (without really ever saying Bernie was right all along), but after half a century of bipartisan neoliberalism all over the world, I think I can be forgiven for being extremely sceptical and suspicious of anyone from the gang of culprits responsible promising an end to it.
My suspicion isn't eased in the slightest by the Dems' embrace of influencers in place of actual journalists during their campaign, and the way that video is put together has me picturing some canny marketers who know their old schtick is on the nose these days, saying how Walz' big selling point is his lo-fi granola authenticity, let's lean hard into that.
He's certainly a Trojan horse for the same old business as usual on the geopolitical stage, unlike actual Bernie, but it would be interesting to see whether there's any substance to that 'restore the middle class' vibe... Maybe it's the Dems' actual stance these days? If so, it sure would be nice if our pretend left parties decided to follow suit one day...

So there's this...
An actual, mildly refreshing breeze of sanity, interrupting the near-constant, rancid gale of neoliberalism we've been soaked in for decades - fancy that.
It's like a third of the way to where Bernie's standing, at least in tone, and it's coming from an actual VP contender, no less. Dare I take this as a glimmer of hope that we might finally start thinking about maybe starting to close that stable door?

Why increase the likelihood of spills?
Ponciness

Thanks for the pep talk

How the hell has she done this?!
I think the pictures tell the story - the chain seems to have been pulled out of position during a multiple shift to a much smaller cog, and then the missing part of the cage got ripped out. Somewhat surprising though, maybe there was a manufacturing defect in the cage, at the lower point of the missing bit?

As a father of a five month old, I keep wondering how the hell our species ever made it.
He's gonna be roughly this useless and annoying for years! Good thing his smile is so cute, but even so.

Sure, and you're not bending that straight again either.
But I bet it took an arseload more force to do that than would've finished an ally rim. Unless maybe it was because your tyre got deflated?

Kids today, or ever?

Wait, serious question, is this
(as a nuerodivergent I have to take others' word for it because I pay most heed to the actual words employed, and add the nonverbal stuff on top as modifier - crazy, I know).
Not what everyone does?
Dude - you think the world would look like this if everyone actually paid more attention to the meaning of words than all the semiotic garnish around them?
We wouldn't have a marketing industry!
