@MarsAttactical It's a fun venture. There are also some pretty awesome "drop in" kits by Novak and Ed Brown that can really improve the trigger, but you'd be surprised how far you can get with just a bit of hand polishing (NOT DREMELING)

@PierreJouet @planksdirect How quaint. My American house was built in 1830. We have AC because we aren't Europoors.
English
@planksdirect Oh, a crass American. How novel.
It’s more about inconvenience. My house was built around 1900 from lovely Yorkshire stone. It’d be a pain in the arse and would ruin the aesthetic.
English
Americans: “Hey Britain, why won’t you invest £200 in an AC unit?”
Britain: “Because, unlike American houses, our houses aren’t made of tissue paper and spit, and fitting AC requires expensive renovations.”

@Bl00dOld That libertarianism is a beautiful philosophy for a homogeneous and already peaceful society. Such a thing doesn't and is unlikely to ever exist.

"hydration source" and it's 1 bottle of water and a jetboil
"Cold and wet weather gear" and it's a smock and a waffle top
This is barely enough gear for a range day

@WyoRocks @Banksy22572267 @unseen1_unseen Oil oxidizes with time. You definitely need to chance based off milage OR time, whichever hits first.
English
Calendar time isn't an issue for engine oil. Run time is. Conventional oil should be changed every 3,000 miles (100 hours for boats, generators etc.) Synthetic every 5,000 (165-170 hours.) Unless you put a heavy load on the engine, then more often. You can do 10,000 + but that will shorten the engines life. It will get to the end of the warranty period fine but beyond that, who knows?
English
You know you really don't have to change your oil every 3000 miles right? That that is just a marketing ploy to get you to change your oil more often than needed. While it might have been true decades ago, it is no longer true for most newer models.
If you look in most manuals many car makers today rec 5,000 miles to 10,000 or longer due to synthetic oil and modern engines.
Not sure when to change your oil? check out your manufacturer recommendations. With the current shortage of some oil blends its important to know you can probably wait to change your oil until the supply lines are back to normal. Stop panicking.

@markmack912 @cavguy75 @SGTWipper1Each Hottest I've ever been. We had heat casualties left and right.

@QuiGonJenna I was in the first imax 3d screening and it was almost empty here.

So not only was the theater for Mando/Grogu packed today for a Thursday afternoon premiere, but there were lots of people dressed up (including one kid in a Kylo Ren helmet) & even a few lightsaber fights in the lobby.
Don’t ever let anyone tell you that “Star Wars is dead” 👏
English
@EckhartsLadder Nah no way. RoS was offensive. MaG was at its worst inconsequential.
English
The Mandalorian and Grogu may actually be worse than the Rise of Skywalker. Genuinely shocked
English
@ClerksWasGood I was pleased because it wasn't a dumpster fire.
English
I just saw Mandalorian and Grogu, I will say the statements of it being a dumpster fire are over blown. It’s not a perfect movie but it is fun, it does feel like a season 4 in some aspects. The story is decent and it does have some pacing issues, I would say it’s 6.5/10 average at best but this movie feels lioe they chose to play it safe.

@Schwalm5132 @codym1917 Didn’t he vote with MAGA ~90% of the time and is one of the most constitutionally astute members? He diverged from MAGA over Epstein, federal spending, and war.
So we got rid of a dude who follows the constitution and holds people accountable for a yes man.

LOL...Democrat Governor of Kentucky runs to the defense of Massie.
More nails in the coffin.
The entire "Republican" Massie hype team is suddenly silent about this one.
Massie was not a Republican, he was a Democrat Operative.
Andy Beshear@AndyBeshearKY
Thomas Massie and I don’t agree on much. But billionaires and special interest groups spent $35 million in Kentucky to unseat one conservative congressman — all because he stood up to Trump. It’s everything that's wrong with our politics today.

@synthesis45 @Dunetsk Its a man portable radio + edge compute
English
@Dunetsk It's a man portable radio. It only has so much power and it can only cost so much. No doubt a complicated product but i don't really see it as a place you can wildly outperform the competition who has basically the same tech and constraints you do.

Anduril is about to wipe out like 4 different radio companies

Introducing Voyager Gateway 1. Warfighters at the edge need access to mission compute capabilities that are typically constrained to the base. The size, weight and power burden make server racks unrealistic options. Voyager G1 is the rugged, waterproof device that unlocks mission applications and AI-enabled workflows directly at the front line. It also connects operators as nodes on our Lattice Mesh network. This enables small teams to maintain operations even when networks are jammed, infrastructure is contested, or command posts are out of reach.

@TheBuddyCSM Best thing ever was having an air force chow hall on Elmendorf as a young paratrooper. Full out breakfast from 10:30-1am every night.
English
Story time:
I remember when breakfast chow was $1.90.
You'd show up at the chow hall, pay $2, and get a dime back.
We called them “chow tokens” and said every 20th meal was free (collect 19 chow tokens for a free meal).
Then it went to $2.10 and the chow token program was ruined.
And yes, the Army does a great job with breakfast.
Bill Ferguson@SapperNacho
May have had to use disposable flatware and plates, but the DFAC breakfast rarely misses. Best $4.50 you can spend.

@HadaWillia91578 @Half_A_Pond I just run external dryers instead of the AMS most of the time. I pretty much only print in black tpu and petg-cf.

@Blinding_Truth @Half_A_Pond Sunlu makes a nice dryer that replaces the lid on that AMS.
You can dry while printing.

And here is Mabel demonstrating why we paid a little more for a fully enclosed printer

@BigSarmo @OfAthenry @RoKhanna @RepThomasMassie Was it hard telling your parents you were coming out?
Im kidding BTW. Vet to vet jokes.

My good friend @RepThomasMassie lost tonight.
He lost because he had the guts to stand up to the Epstein class and against the war.
He won voters under 45 by 30 points.
Tonight, I say to this voters who feel rejected by Trump. We welcome you. Join our coalition to take on a rotten system and stand for the working class over the Epstein class.
We will build a movement to stand for Team America.

@jonny_theginger @RonnieAdkins @Tradermayne Bruh, combining ground individual spices doesn't make it "fresh."

So the solution is to eat PB&J sandwiches, apples and bags of chips for lunch every day for a week?
Are you fucking 5?
Ben Klayer@the_satellite23
Loaf of bread = $5 Peanut butter = $4 Jelly = $4 18 pack of chips = $12 Bag of apples = $5 Total = $30 And you'll have lunch for an entire week or two. $2-4 average per day. Inflation isn't the problem. Your spending habits are.
