Damn, that’s no exaggeration, I wasn’t prepared for the quality of that.
I’m going to have the hook “your government is run by pedophiles, they ordered you to die for Israel” stuck in my head for a while. Those are not words I ever expected would be catchy lyrics, but here we are.
a swivel-arm, but the weight of two monitors would be a lot for something like that
I’m still wanting to build a rolling desk myself and have some components already, but you might want this: Humanscale M10. It’s pricey but it’s the heaviest-load arm on the consumer market. It can take 48lb, and if that’s overkill, they have cheaper arms that will carry less. You might find some of the cheaper brands will do what you need without the cost, but I don’t have experience with them.
Skip their expensive crossbar adapter though, you can use any much cheaper VESA bracket adapter, you just need the arm itself to be solidly constructed.
The real issue for the design you have in mind though is center of gravity. You’re stuck with attaching it to something very heavy and wide. I’m still in the early stages of fixing that problem myself. My solution is likely to involve significant amounts of V slot aluminum profile.
Given the aim of the first talk was to agree on “keep talking”, that’s not a great sign of things to come.
Forget the crusades, I want to see them reconcile with child abuse and smuggling fascists through the WW2 Ratlines.

So I’m going to repost my comment on the other link too:
Khamenei’s face was disfigured in the attack on the supreme leader’s compound in central Tehran and he suffered a significant injury to one or both legs, all three sources said… The 56-year-old is nonetheless recovering from his wounds and remains mentally sharp… He is taking part in meetings with senior officials via audio conferencing and is engaged in decision-making on major issues including the war and negotiations with Washington…
Ok.
The question of whether Khamenei’s health allows him to run state affairs…
You just said he was already working. What question? How would 6 week old facial and leg injuries prevent him from running state affairs?
Writing an article about how Iranian society is responding to largely invisible leadership is fine, but that’s only very briefly mentioned at the end of the article. The rest of the article is a whole lot of words to only say “we don’t know much about him”.
This is just ableist JAQing off.
I also got into computers, thinking about it now, the tactile aspect was probably part of it. A power button making fans go whir and hard drives making slight crunchy noises and my keyboard with real springs… I miss a lot about that.
Also that power supply, Honeywell / microswitch used to have a huge market share for those sorts of components and it looks a lot like it could be one of their paddle/lever rocker switches, maybe AML33EBA4AA01. I don’t think microswitch components are easy or cheap to come by anymore but salecom do knock off versions of lots of them that will likely suit your needs
These are awesome. You make me miss the days of proper physical controls with real haptic feedback. Not this touchscreen with a little vibrator in it bullshit.
I also really wish I could push those buttons now. I want to know what they feel like!
You want some kind of metal waterproof flush mount momentary push button switch, but without a brand name, it’s hard to say which will give you the right feel. There’s no telling what sort of spring mechanism is in there.
Neither do I, and if it weren’t for the community rules, I might have dropped it off the title altogether. You’d think they’d just lost track of the time the way this is phrased, but it at least mentions the “massive wave of attacks against Lebanon”. The other articles right now use even milder terms like “sporadic attacks in the gulf” or “Israel says it will continue operations”.
It seems they may have agreed, but there’s disagreement to how far the scope extends. It’s not clear what the actual contents of the agreement were, but Pakistan, which mediated the deal, said the two-week pause in fighting did extend to Lebanon. Iran has previously included that as a term in talks, but hasn’t confirmed if they kept it this time. But they likely did, I don’t see why Pakistan would lie about that either.
Israel, unsurprisingly, says the ceasefire does not extend to Lebanon, and has not stopped attacking Lebanon. In fact, they just launched the largest attack on Lebanon in decades. It also sounds like an oil refinery in Iran was hit after the US ceasefire announcement, but there are no details of who hit it yet.
“…a more enduring threat: asymmetric warfare, in which individuals or small groups of militants can pose threats strategic to the American military.”
You know what US military targets an Iranian “shoulder-fired missile” can’t hit? The ones in the US. The only place the US military should be. Invading forces aren’t entitled to an easy time stealing another country’s resources.
The NBC can fuck right off with this war crime apologia masquerading as a news article containing a mild warning. It’s not a Saving Private Ryan reboot, it’s modern exploitation colonialism.
Australia (the country) wasn’t invaded by the Ottomans or Germans back then.
Japan considered it and did bomb Australia, but they also estimated that anywhere near 45k to 250k people would be needed to invade - before considering shipping supplies for such an effort. There is too much land to cover.
Isolation was the reason they considered doing it at all - Australia made a safe launch base for allied forces. Had it been a smaller region, they may have taken the option. They certainly took the north of New Guinea in the attempt to cut Australia off from other allies.
Isolation is relative though, and even less of a benefit now there are missiles than can hit targets thousands of miles away. You can’t ship supplies with a missile or satellite though.
What Australia both benefits and suffers from is not being powerful enough to be worth paying attention to.
In my case, I can’t survive on a diet of outrage alone, especially when I’m often picking up my phone to get away from some kind of life stress, so I’m always keen for more posts in art, photography or pet communities. It helps to break up the wall of misery that is the news and reminds me there are still things worth fighting for. Sometimes I need to see a photo of a beach sunset someone saw and thought was pretty, or read a post about how they discovered a new hobby even if I’d never try it. Show me the cute dog you saw on a walk, or the weird random trash you found on the street, I’m here for it.
Consider it a form of community building. rest, and morale boosting for the war against humanity and the environment that we’ve been caught in, if you will.
Just updated the post. If Petty and Xsponse are involved, and they use CSC, I don’t think they care about the appid issue because it’s possible they control the entire internet infrastructure stack anyway. But that’s only an if.
I fell down a wild rabbit hole.
I don’t think I’ll continue on. There’s clearly a lot going on here and it is not looking good. Edit: I lied. But this is the end for me:
Not good.
It’s a rental. I’m wondering if it’s not basically a front. The guy listed is a 22 year old (edit: age is maybe not the same guy) “head of engineering” for a company owned/run by Blue Rocket Incorporated, which seems to typically be a parent company to a lot of places.
Some guy in Utah, apparently. The company was registered on the 18th of March.
Via Utah Division of Corporations and Commercial Code Business Registration search which did not allow a direct link to individual results.
I suspect Liberia is just going to do something similar to what it was originally designed for - to be the dumping ground for former U.S slaves.
Being one of the poorest places in the world, I doubt it has a particularly robust immigration system.
Plenty of them seem to have just memory-holed it. I check on the posts of one very random extreme right winger occasionally, and I’m guessing she didn’t like his post because she’s posted twice as much today as she usually does. But it’s all just her normal talking points: A Bible verse, Mamdani’s rent control will hurt poor people, election fraud “pass the save act” reminders, and Obama/Biden/communists open borders child trafficker conspiracies. It’s like she’s trying to drown out the the information she doesn’t want to hear.
They’re very effectively siloed off in their social media echo chambers, this is why that 33% support number doesn’t move. In my opinion, the number of articles about “they’re finally outraged” just lulls people into a false sense of security and obscures actual developments.
