I use autopilot all the time on my boat. No way in hell I'd trust it in a car. They all occasionally get suicidal. Mine likes to lull you into a sense of false security, then take a sharp turn into a channel marker or cargo ship at the last second.

REITs are fine, but they do need strong regulation. They're best when targeted at building high density housing, but can be used to develop single family suburbs.

The key is that you have to time limit their ownership of single family homes, and require the sale to individuals. That forces them to build and sell, they make money, the market expands, houses stay affordable. For high density buildings they have to be limited to a portion of the area market, including all corporate owners. Which again forces them to build and sell, and also keeps competition in the market, to avoid price fixing.

It will be. They have immunity. It's entirely performative intimidation.

It's probably all sealed. A coat of urethane or epoxy and there's no dust, also stops the moisture flow so you can have some humidity inside if wanted.

I was curious about this so i asked an AI and it came up with a figure of needing over 2 million amps of power for a 15' sailboat. So I'm guessing rudder control would be a problem, because it's hard to steer with something that's being vaporized.

By federal marshals who don't give a fuck. Because they already did it to a state judge, they'll go after federal next.

There are less than 2000 federal judges, the Federalist Society has over 70,000 members. They have the man power and motivation to replace them over night. At which point the law says what the fuck they want it to.

What's stopping them isn't that they lack the resources to seize total control. It's that they lack the resources to maintain control. And they're never going to have them.

They're expecting the judges to push back so they have an excuse to get rid of the judges.

Holy crap, is that a tariff price or are they WAY too proud?

Of course it is, Bezos is selling 8647 merch right now and there's not a peep about it.

The GoP needed a cultural political weapon. So they picked the weakest minority, gays and trans people. To use as a distractions, while they rob the public and destroy the country.

They're looting on the way out. America is already cooked, this is the wealthy squeezing the last drops of wealth out.

 

Just wondering if anyone has experience with pouring aluminum or copper on their pottery? We've done melts with glass, but getting ready to try aluminum, and maybe copper if that works out.

 

WASHINGTON, Feb 3 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday ordering the creation of a sovereign wealth fund within the next year, saying it could potentially buy the short video app TikTok. Trump offered little in the way of detail and it was unclear how such a wealth fund would work. Typically such funds rely on a country's budget surplus to make investments, but the U.S. operates at a deficit. Its creation also would likely require approval from Congress.

 

About to be in the market for a new circular saw, just looking for the typical 7.25 blade saw. One thing that has constantly bothered me though is the depth adjustment. Every saw I've ever had used a flip lever on a nut in the back, and that's always been the point of failure. They slip, break, seize or otherwise fail first before anything else on the saw. And it's literally the only setting on a saw that i ever touch beyond changing blades.

So what brand has a reliable depth adjustment?

 

Saw a post mentioning an old Scottish gentleman that had saved a bottle of whiskey to drink the day Margaret Thatcher died. And I'm quite sure he enjoyed the drink.

So my question to the community, what's the best drink for the day any major politician finally kicks the bucket? Should it be your own favorite spirit, or something to denote the character, and vitriol, of the deceased? Something sweet to enjoy the day, or harsh to remember the bitterness of their character?

I'm trying to plan a shelf for my dining room. Each bottle labeled for who they're waiting for.
