I might die if I couldn’t cuss while working. I’d just fucking explode.

I cuss during job interviews, both as the interviewer and applicant.

I’m starting to think it is part of an insulator. It’s just so big to be one. It’s almost double the size of the the vintage 1950s one above. Maybe one section of a huge high voltage assembly?

The surface is too rough for use with food. It’s like small gravel or big sand at the surface.

It’s absolutely huge if it’s an insulator.

Coil was originally aluminum, so it had a higher resistance. Even with a ‘perfect’ wind, the resistance might still be low.

Scramble should be fine, it’s a DC application. So long as i get close enough: it should work.

Real time operating systems are important for CNC machines and other industrial controls. Been a while since I kept up with Linux CNC and the open source control world, but I think this may have big implications for motion controls including printers.

This is why the big name CNC controls are mostly proprietary OS like FANUC, HAAS, Siemens, Mazak. Lot of them have Mitsubishi down in the guts. Heidenhain has Linux, at least in the top layer, iirc. Citizen had windows in the top layer.

For a large chunk of my career, I worked in aerospace and ‘defense’ machining. Made all kinds parts for all kinds of weapons, it was really cool! Murica! As I got older, I lost my religion, I lost the far right brainwashing I was raised with.

My hands were making weapons that the US government was often selling to other countries. My hands were making weapons to kill various groups of brown people all over the world. It really began to bother me.

I no longer make things to kill people.

Yes, you are culpable for the effects of what you produce in your profession. A thinking person should consider the effects of their work.

IDK, my son took the pictures for me. His phone has a better camera than mine. 98 Ranger XLT. It’s my fourth vehicle, lifetime. Throws no codes, I keep it running tight.

Lemmy isn’t letting me upload a better pic of it right now.

Looking into it more, I agree that it’s slate. Didn’t realize it could be this size, only ever heard of it being used for tiles.

It may be slate, now that I read more about it. Don’t have any experience with slate, shale, or phyllite. Not sure.

The majority of pumps in my area play ads. Some of the pumps can’t be muted. For those, press the top left and right buttons, then next two down, then the next two and it throws it into maintenance mode. That shuts off the speaker.

Dang, you’re in about as good a place as you can be then.

I hope I’m just an alarmist old fart. If so, my family ends up with a better life anyhow.

For your old man’s sake, have a plan. Have a go-bag, include SS card and birth certificate. Try and keep your vehicle 3/4 full. Chances are, you will have time to run to a safe state on one of the coasts. Pre-plan two routes, one for back roads and the other for highways and interstates, print it out. If you can, keep a minimum of $500 on hand and more like $1-2k.

I strongly recommend a handgun, take it to the range and practice enough to be proficient loading and shooting at 7 yards. A single woman is usually welcomed at ranges. Just don’t talk politics and if anyone asks, you’ve got a bad ex-husband. The more straight you appear, the easier it will be.

Sorry for the unsolicited advice/novel. Stay safe.

We both mostly work from home and she likes clicky keys, so blues are not a problem.

I have a wife, daughter, and son. My daughter is queer. My son is a teen. There isn’t a future here for them. My daughter, especially, will be in danger.

I’ve had to cut all contact with my family.

We’ve been saving since 2020.

If it was just me, I’d stay.

I pass as a bearded white guy good ol boy. The shit I hear. These people aren’t coming back. Even if nothing happens with the next election, I don’t know how they rejoin reality.

I don’t know what happens to this country. I kind of hope there is a bloodless balkanization.

As best I can figure, the majority on the left are completely unaware of how dangerous things have gotten over the last few years. Unless you’re living in it, most people see it as histrionics.

We live in the deep south in what used to be an island of relative progressiveness. I have acquaintances that joined the three percenters, know former military spouting Q shit. Lost the only man I ever called brother to the insanity. Things have CHANGED in the last few years.

Our friend circle has shrunk and we no longer talk to our neighbors.

We’re moving to the northeast this summer. There’s a very real chance that it won’t be safe for us here much longer.

Like you, we’re armed and also realize that it likely won’t be enough.

History doesn’t repeat itself, but it sure does rhyme. The smart Jews with means got the fuck out of Germany before things popped off. We can’t afford to leave the country but hopefully we’ll land somewhere safer.

Hope nothing happens and all the worry has been for nothing. I really want to be wrong.

I’m probably, mostly, behind my eyes, inside my head.

In moments of adrenaline and action, I’m in my chest or gut. Sometime hands, especially when doing delicate or involved work. Sometimes legs or arms when laboring.

In times of pain, I’m often at the focus of the pain until I work and ignore the physical and go somewhere deep inside that doesn’t hurt so much. Usually, a good memory or fantasy.

I’m stripping ipv6 because I’m ignorant on a lot of this and a lot people say it’s bad and show how to strip it. I’m a script kiddie in a old guys body.

I ran both iptables-save and nft list ruleset but, the output was so offensively formatted when inserted into Lemmy, I’ll wait until I’ve had some sleep to try and get it legible.

Right, fail safe is the concern, I couldn’t get the kill switch to work so I started monkeying with UFW.

I’ve got 53 and 5353 open so that DNS will work for my local network when connecting to *arr and jellyfin.

I.E. type raspberrypi:8989 in a browser to bring up Sonarr.

Should I restrict to UDP?
