I’ve got a big pile of lumber I had milled that is almost finished drying. I’m buying up the remaining woodworking tools I need to process it into various items. The American made options are out of my price range.

He can’t get elected again

He’s going to start talking about a third term within a month of taking office. At first they’re going to write it off as “jokes” and then he’s going to push it to the supreme court.

There are lots of people out there who think that inflation means how much prices have risen in some recent period of their memory. If something that cost $3 in 2018 is now $6 and you tell them inflation is at 2%, they will be completely bewildered as to how this can be true. There are also tons of people who don’t understand why deflation is bad or undesirable. If you can’t tell who is lying to you because you have no idea how the economy works, you’re just going to choose the one you remember as being better.

I think most didn’t vote because they are apathetic, ill-informed morons with the attention span of a gnat. They don’t understand inflation, tariffs, deflation, international relations, trade, renewable energy, oil production, gas prices, vaccines, healthcare, or much of anything else. They also don’t care to learn about how anything works. It’s not like the last chapter of the history book on the United States is going to blame the pro-democracy candidate for not doing enough to appeal to a public that was too lazy to continue living in a democracy. They have access to more educational resources than any humans in history and they just ignore it.

I feel like he should attempt to order that to see if anyone is willing to carry it out, for no other reason than to see if they’re willing to do the same when Trump orders it.

Lumber is the main reason I miss my small 90s truck. Lumber delivery is $75 to $100 depending on which place you order from. That’s fine for big jobs but I often just need a few boards or a sheet of plywood. Places like Lowe’s have truck rentals but then you have to make two trips back and forth. If I do place a delivery order I have to buy lumber for multiple projects and buy in excess of what I need just to be sure I’ll have enough.

I also don’t have trash pickup here and loading trash into a truck bed is much nicer than putting it into the trunk with potential smell and leakage issues.

Lead 204 is entirely primordial and the other isotopes found on earth would be found at roughly the same concentration were all of the lead on earth primordial. It’s the excess ratios of the other isotopes of lead that can be attributed to radioactive decay. That is a substantial proportion of the lead on earth, but to say the “existence of lead” is proof of the age of the earth is entirely incorrect.

Price tracking systems like Keepa and CamelCamelCamel wouldn’t work if they started doing this. I can verify that, when I get alerts, the price on Amazon is the same as the alert price.

Federal Reserve Economic Data shows debt:GDP holding at 120% since spiking during the pandemic.

They should trade China all the cigars and rum they want for enough cheap solar and batteries to power the island.

It’s been 12 years now. Yes, only mammal meat causes a reaction, with fattier cuts causing a stronger reaction. I did have a reaction Gruyere once though.

It has weakened over time, but if I eat a large amount of red meat, such as a steak, I’ll have a reaction.

I have this. Had a lone-star tick on my right shoulder blade and didn’t notice until it started itching. The wound site took over a year to heal and would still randomly itch for a decade. Took me forever to figure out what was causing the allergic reactions because there’s a 3+ hour delay before you experience symptoms.

The photo the DPRK released showed a fairly small drone with a triangular shape. It doesn’t look sufficiently large to fly all the way from the ROK to Pyongyang, drop some leaflets and return to the south, meaning they should have been able to recover the crashed drone. Also, if it were a civilian group, they usually take credit for the balloons they send and none have said anything about sending a drone to the north. It really seems like something might be going on internally and the DPRK is trying to blame whatever is happening on outside agitation.

I’m kinda curious about the effects of proanthocyanidins on fecal flora.

Have you checked your sacrificial anode? If it’s gone, this will keep happening.

If you have solar paired with proton exchange membrane electrolysis, you can generate hydrogen very economically. PEM electrolyzers are already around 80% efficient but supply is limited right now. Hydrogen is a pain to store, but if you feed that hydrogen into the Haber-Bosch process you can very efficiently produce ammonia. Ammonia fuel cells are very promising if you’re looking to decarbonize container shipping.

Other automakers should try producing $21,000 LiFePO4 EV hatchbacks with a 250 mile range instead of cranking out $50,000 EVs with a bunch of ADAS crap that most people don’t care about.
