It wasn't a Trump blow out, he won due to the rules of our system, by an incredibly small margin, and all the polls before hand were showing a toss up race, probably in Kamala's favor by a small amount.

Ukraine has never been a part of NATO, so stopping Russia wasn't their job. The US, France, and Russia agreed to defend Ukraine, not NATO. Afghanistan was rolled like a cheap rug. Holding it was never NATO's job or goal.

No NATO country has ever suffered Russian aggression. Which is NATO's job. So 100% success to date.

They're also the rebel army that builds guillotines. Kind of like there's a fine line between a solid rocket and a bomb.

True, but the FBI does hate competition.

My guess is that German law requires you to retreat if possible, and she didn't convince the court that she was unable to retreat.

This just screams 'I'm sorry mister Tyson, I didn't mean to punch YOU in the face.'

A mixture of honey, water, a cinnamon stick, and yeast. Capped off with a relief valve.

Harvard might be considering a lot of law suits right about now. Maybe a dozen for every holding Trump has anywhere.

I'm pretty sure the crack head living in the woods down the road is a better trading partner than Trump.

What the employees know, and what C Suite knows are rarely the same thing. Executives see metrics, and summaries, which is what bots and community managers are designed to filter.

They're flooded by the bots, or filtered, on other platforms. Couple that with Bluesky being a new platform with a decidedly anti-corporate user bias, and the message ratios change dramatically.

This is why companies should never set themselves up walled gardens of communication. The execs probably had no clue how hated their company was, because they just see the sales and stock values. Then the minute they actually step into the real world, they get smacked with the dildo of consequence.

 

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.
