The later seasons of Dr. Who got dark.

From what little I've seen, Germany is having some political back and forth over spending. Their almost pathological aversion to debt often causes the same fight. Hopefully they see the advantages to investing in their own defense industry right now. The shake up caused by the idiot in charge of the US is going to cause a lot of defense industry partners to be looking elsewhere for reliable hardware. Now is the chance to break into a market the US has been dominant in for decades.

The rule is to do what you're both comfortable with, and see if those things match up. If you're not up for drinking, then don't. And recognize that social drinking might be more important to the person you're interested in.

Ok, now I want one. Pi powered CV to identify fire, and maybe figure out a way to identify what type of fire.

Yeah I loved the movie, but I have a feeling 80's special effects aren't going to stand up very well in 4k.

And yet still more efficient than lab grown meat. More steel goes into a factory than is in the parts coming out too, doesn't mean we shut down the factories.

There's a whole list of problems with factory farms, at the same time though, food shortages are worse. The US has proven they're more than happy to create and sustain a genocidal famine. And even if not that severe, the trade war alone is reason enough to make sure you're producing enough food.

Trump spends his weekends on golf courses in the middle of high density populations. They're essentially impossible to actually secure. It would take a really good shot, but a .22 would have the range. On top of that, even Google maps has satellite pics of the course and surrounding area.

Facing the US military head on is suicide, and the police have far more personnel. They're not even a worthwhile target to begin with. There's a reason the super wealthy like the Koche bro's or the Murdochs live on compounds in the middle of nowhere. The open empty space forces anyone going after them to get visibly close to their highly paid, and very effective, security teams.

Violence is the answer, when it's the most logical step in the process to to creating a better world, for the most people, for the longest period of time.

As usual, there are exceeding few acts of violence that would pass that test. And ever fewer people in a place to act upon them.

Score one for nurture over nature it sounds like.

Looks like Trump gave away more than tariffs to get a deal with Xi.

 

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.
