    Did anyone else not even know who Charlie Kirk was!?

  • I watch leftists who occasionally covered him. He was extremely popular on TikTok with children to college-age people. He was also close to Trump, and I think Trump sent him to Greenland a while back with the VP on that "diplomacy" trip.

  • A ‘demoralizing' trend has computer science grads out of work — even minimum wage jobs. Are 6-figure tech careers over?

  • Didn't something like 150k employees and contractors get DOGE'd and the admin is targeting 300k by the end of year?

    I was doing contract work related to environmental research that relied on grant money and all that dried up.

  • If their work brings in > 100k in revenue then they should.

  • I've had mortise & tenon plus pocket screw from the factory fail on chairs. Granted they were probably 20+ year chairs. I'm very weary of pocket screw alone as the materials don't warp and bend the same way. I've built a couch using wedged tenon (mostly just for fun), that spent many years outside without major issues. I've made indoor, load bearing furniture, with just glued dowels fail after maybe 4 years indoors. The glue failed in this case, and I think I used Gorilla Wood Glue. IDK, if you want long lasting stuff, I've came to the conclusion that most of the load needs to be bore by the the actual wood joinery, and glue just to keep it in place.

  • Hmm, I missed the part about being maxed-out on roof space. Great article and blog by the way!

  • Seemed a bit lower-budget and slow.

  • Guessing it would be more practical to have enough solar panels to fulfill energy needs in winter.

  • Capitalism cant provide

  • You get banished from your employer under capitalism, and don't have a vote on anything the employer does. I don't typically think of truly democratic systems as authoritarian; everyone comes to a consensus to what work everyone is "assigned" to do.

  • They'd be hurting their family, friends, and community, and risk becoming ostracized. That should keep most people on the shared vision. Everybody having a say from voting or some shared consensus gives people ownership over decisions and should increase cooperation. There would likely still be some people who wouldn't cooperate, in which case they can leave or be voted out of the community and try to join another, which I suppose is coercion. I suppose there could also be lighter consequences for not doing what the community agreed upon (sanitation duty or peeling onions or whatever) that the person could choose to do if they wanted to stay.

    I should say that in these hypotheticals I'm envisioning an anarcho-syndicalist or perhaps market-socialist type of society made up of a network or federation of smaller communities. I don't think this would work very well if it was one nation-sized "community," because people likely wouldn't care as much about the plights of people on the other side of the country.

  • Someone would probably engineer a new sanitation machine or system that doesn't need as much human labor or exposure with unsanitary stuff as an interesting hobby. But yeah, people would have to build communities and the sense of community, and come to a consensus on how that community would want to divide labor; i.e. the community could vote to take turns doing undesirable jobs, or allow people to in undesirable jobs to work less hours or something.

    Now that I think of it, things could be radically different if everyone is exposed to the undesirable work. Communities would probably opt for composting and less or compostable packaging in lieu of having to do a lot of trash work. They'd probably opt to eat less meat rather than working at a slaughterhouse.

  • I don't think that's the reason. China makes tons of aftermarket replacement parts and even OEM parts.

  • Needs proper joinery. Mortise and tenon would be strongest. I've tried "cheating" by using those cheap dowels and a drill for something like this, but it eventually failed, so I do mortise and tenon now. Wedged and/or pinned tenons would be even stronger, but I haven't tried those yet. I also haven't tried the stuff meant for power tools, like biscuits, so dunno how strong those would be.

  • :T Yeah

  • Foreign policy was similar (well I guess having the president transparently trying to shakedown every country and large corporation on the planet is new). It's just now all starting to be directed inwards (i.e. "imperial boomerang").

  • I think the destination needs to be compromised, and at least the source traffic must be monitored to de-anonymize someone (traffic correlation attack). Ignoring other possible bugs, vulnerabilities, fingerprinting, and metadata leaks.

  • It's fairly common to be jailed for years while awaiting trial if you can't pay for bail/bonds. I've personally known 3 people where this was the case. I had a (false) charge once, and I was out on bail for 3 years (restricting some of my freedom) before my lawyer could get in front of a judge and get it dismissed.

  • Candace Owens, and to a lesser extent, justpearlythings, are still somewhat successful while doing propaganda against their own demographics. I've seen a ton of black anti-black content creators on YouTube lately for some reason; guessing somebody's funding them. I also remember a few trans anti-trans propagandists, but don't think they're very relevant now.

  • Uglier guys won't treat you better.

  • I think those movies were made to counteract the bias that ugly men are also ugly on the inside. But yeah, appearance isn't a very good indicator of personality. I actually didn't know this was a common belief, but I'm a man.
