A lot of people just want to be on the record as promoting non-violence as well. It looks WAY better when your social media posts come up in a trial.

Shocker, the day ended down 320.

They may be trying to move away from China, but they're going to be moving back fast with these tariffs in place. Everyone loses in a trade war, but China is very much going to be the winner. No matter what happens after today, the US has lost it's bargaining position and value as a trading partner and ally.

Putin has won his war against the US, it's just a matter of how we fall at this point.

Not that I'm disagreeing, but I also know where that ends. I should say, the range of endings. Aside from probably neither of us living long enough to see where it ends, the range of endings are almost universally bad for humanity in general, and the US in particular.

Don't open gullwing doors in the rain. Which is why they're a stupid idea to put over your head when you're stuck in a cockpit style seat.

The concern for me is that we're going to stop having protests, and start having explosions of government buildings to send a message.

I'm not as worried about the violence against judges, which is a horrific development. I'm more worried about the violence that happens when people realize their political views can bring violence against them because of what's being done to judges.

That's going to be the end of peaceful protest, and the start of a LOT of political violence.

Better than handing all of the developing world to China on a golden platter, while crippling our entire economy.

Y'all remember TPP. Guess what that was about? Who tanked that again?

That's right, just shut the fuck up.

Right wingers have, or cause, trouble in open forums, so most social media that isn't operated as a walled garden, tends to be more left leaning.

You're assuming that crashing the economy wasn't what it was asked how to do.

Honestly I hope Newsom takes this fight and loses, even though I applaud the effort. It's an unconstitutional overreach for a state to step into international trade and relations. But having the fight over it will both remind the rabid right why we have a federal government, and what they could lose if they keep going down this path.

 

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.
