  • Administrative task management

    Jump

  • Not even a joke, I went to a military simulation event dressed as this woman, equipped with an airsoft m16. I shaved for the first time in 10 years, wore a wig, and a gray suit/dress that I had thrifted. I was " Barb from Accounting".

  • What's your "I switched to Linux because..." Story?

    Jump

  • MSI recently pushed a firmware update on my motherboard that somehow reset the device ID, so windows decided I wasn't running genuine windows anymore.

    I lived with the watermark for a few months, then kept running out of space on my old 256gb windows drive (all I could afford at the time) and I decided that instead of just migrating to larger drive and buying another copy of windows, I'd take the leap and just do it. It was unexpectedly painless.

    My one concern was gaming, specifically helldivers, which has been pretty much the only thing I can play with my friends. Turns out, it just.... runs.... everything else... just... runs...

    The last time I tried linux was like 10 years ago, and its definitely come a long way, at least with some of the more consumer level distros.

  • Great band

    Jump

  • Oh and the album is called "Pandemoniumfromamerica"

  • Great band

    Jump

  • Okay but for real, they have actually produced music together. There's an album that Virgo Mortensen produced with this weird fucker called buckethead, who just wears a KFC bucket on his head, and a white mask, and just.... is really good at guitar. There are a few appearances of frodo, merry, and Pippin in that album. No Sam tho.... :( The music isnt really my speed, but I can definitely respect it.

  • Flag defacing

    Jump

  • The flag is just an object. The only ones bound to treat it with respect by any laws are those who work for the government. the flag code does not apply to civilians. The flag should be treated with the same respect that our government treats us with.

  • No to slavery!

    Jump

  • I live in a fairly blue state which tends to lean into highlighting the atrocities of the south during the Civil War (and all other eras to be frank) and I never learned about John brown until after high school

  • Who said you can move furniture with a bike?

    Jump

  • Good eyes! I wonder how theyre actuated?

  • Who said you can move furniture with a bike?

    Jump

  • At what point does it become prudent to actually add brakes to the trailer like a truck would have? 300kgs (plus trailer, rider, etc) is a lot of weight for two bike wheels to stop.

    I wonder what that would look like from a bike builders perspective.

  • Power Word: OBEY

    Jump

  • Where can this 10 hour midwest emo Playlist be found?

  • I made plans for a new car ramp

    Jump

  • Most likely for performing maintainence on a vehicle without having to lift it with a jack. For simpler stuff like changing oil it can be easier to just use a couple of ramps instead of a jack and jackstands.

  • Thousands of years ago, when tools were very primitive, it was probably common to have a favorite rock.

    Jump

  • There's an area in the cascade range (western US, specifically oregon) that is a giant field of knapped obsidian, that was used as a training ground for young knappers, as well as a trading ground to trade knapped obsidian that has been found all over the western US. Not just miles, but many many miles. I'll see if I can go find a link.

  • Nonreplacable air hose on hose reel

    Jump

  • I dont think it's a banjo fitting. Fairly certain banjo fittings are not meant to move once tightened down. Another poster is right though, if you take it to a hose shop, they will probably be able to cut the old hose off and crimp a new one on. Just google "hose shop in [your town]" and there's likely to at least be one in the next town over. I live in a mid sized city and there are like 3.

  • Ever since I was a kid wanted to ask this if I suspend a car mid air and rev it up to 100mph then drop it how far would it go without me touching the gas or break not even once?

    Jump

  • A pretty typical 5th gear transmission ratio is somewhere in the 0.75:1 (engine rpm: transmission output shaft rpm) range, meaning the driveshaft would be rotating at somewhere around (definitely plus or minus) engine rpm. My subaru cruises at 50 at somewhere around the 2k rpm range, so the driveshaft would be spinning at a similar rpm. The diff pinion to ring gear ratio in the differential slows things down quite a bit so your wheels aren't spinning at engine rpm anymore.

  • [OC] Cherry blossoms

    Jump

  • I have a tree like this in my front yard. It fell down in the 60s during a windstorm when my dad was a kid, and then the stump grew a new shoot. The "new" tree is 60 years old and covers most of the front yard. Every may, it turns into a giant pink ball almost overnight.

  • ‘Now You See Me 4’ in the Works as Third Movie Gets Official Title: ‘Now You See Me: Now You Don’t’

    Jump

  • Wow. What a throwback. He ranted about those movie titles on harmontown how many years ago? That had to have been close to a decade ago.

  • Burning wood is not ‘renewable energy,’ so why do policymakers pretend it is?

    Jump

  • The Portland (Oregon) airport recently finished remodeling their main atrium area and they used some pretty incredible engineered wood beams. I know a guy who worked on the mill that built those beams. The mill assembles plywood veneer (thin sheets about an eighth of an inch or so, usually in 4x8 foot sheets) into like 16 inch thick, 12 foot wide, however long you want pieces, and then they can basically cut out anything that isn't a beam from this massive brick of engineered wood.

    Here's a pic

    The picture doesn't show these massive plywood beams, but if you ever fly through pdx, go check out the main atrium just past security. It's absolutely breathtaking, and it's mostly wood.

  • But but but...

  • That's a pretty boilerplate criticism. While true to a great degree, it's also true of a lot of western capitalist nations.

    It's pretty hard to find information about real communist societies because media companies have it in their best interest to bury any good that has possibly been done by a communist society, meanwhile demonizing them and making them the enemy. You really have to dig to find honest information about communist societies.

    Moreover, a lot of otherwise successful communist regimes have been sabotaged and poisoned by capitalist interests. Either by literally arming fascists, or just by demonizing them with foreign policy and media coverage.

  • Corner technique question

    Jump

  • A bit late to the party and maybe you've already come across this in your search. But i figured just to add to the conversation, here's an article about how to sew a dart (more in the non leather sense. Apparently there's some a real skill to it, but I'm sure with some practice, you can nail it.

  • Teacher ordered to remove signs from classroom, including one saying ‘Everyone is welcome here’

    Jump

  • https://www.westada.org/

    As close as I could get. I couldn't find in a brief search of the site if there was a staff lookup. But I'm pretty sure you can look up an licensed teacher if you know what state they're in, which Is how I found that she's licensed and active in that district.
