- Comment on why are fitness weights filled with sand? 2 days ago:
Dive weights and belts are generally Lead and I have seen them used in other applications too. if you search for steel ones they come up on Amazon and other sites.
- Comment on why are fitness weights filled with sand? 2 days ago:
They do make weighted vests and dumbbells with other materials but they generally cost more. So if you dont like bulky sand then try spending a bit more to get something with steel/lead/tungsten.

Totally understand, but now we need to primary him and get someone who will actually do the job, and not kowtow to AIPAC.

Cruelty is the point, as is poverty. Keeping you poor and always looking for the next meal means you will work for slave wages and let capitalism extract maximum value from your labor.
The rich are convinced there is only enough for them and that they must prevent you from having more to stay rich. In addition to that the rich think they are better people because they are rich. They dont give money away to actually help, they do it because it makes them feel like good people. Thanks in part to evangelicalism in the US there is also a perception that being wealthy is a blessing from God, so people who are poor, must not be with God. If the poor are not with God, then they should be punished for being Godless, which means they should be punished for being poor.
When you hear the phrase “eat the rich” its critique of this capitalist system that pushiness the poor and hungry for the gain of a few fragile ego’s.
You want change? Then we need to replace the government with people who are working class, and not class traitors like Fettermen. Find progressive and socialist candidates like Bernie Sanders, Zohran Mamdani, Platner, and people who stand up for the many like Jasmine Crockett, AOC, and Katie Porter.
- Comment on What's a realistic, low-power home server setup in 2025 for Plex/Jellyfin, Nextcloud, and reliable backups? 1 week ago:
Zimablade/board or 1L used biz pc with an i5 10th Gen or better.
These things pull almost no power and often have room for an m.2 and SATA-SSD.
- Comment on Are you friends with any AI bots? 2 weeks ago:
how many tokens can you get to with your current system? I find that some of the models are so verbose that I only get 3-5 questions in before I run out of tokens.
I have one system with 128gb system ram, 16gb vram, and one system with configurable vram up to 48gb out of a total of 64gb.

- Comment on Wall mounts for wood stove heat shield 1 month ago:
Get some copper pipe and cut them in 25mm sections with a hacksaw. Predrill pilot holes into the studs and through the heat shield.
Using some lag bolts secure the shield to the wall with the pipe as a standoff.
The amount of thermal transfer from the bolts is not enough to be a concern.

So we dont like the 1st amendment?
Trump is a sissy boy with no sense of humor and he likes to gargle Putin’s pee. Biden is a racist status quo member of the patriarchy who thinks BBQ Palistinian kids taste like pepperoni. Obama is a spineless war criminal and gets off on the photos of Anwar al-Awlaki and Abdulrahman al-Awlaki extra judicial killing. WB is a war criminal who was duped by his Dad’s Yes Man but did not have the backbone to say he was wrong about Iraq. Clinton is a serial rapist and child molester and is protecting his friend Donald Trump by using his connections to prevent the release of the Epstine files.

- Comment on Upgrading ungrounded two-prong outlets to grounded three-prong? 1 month ago:
Fair point, they should not need to dig around to see the ground wires, but with the cover off extra caution is recommended. Dont stick anything INTO the box even with the main breaker off as the wires leading to that breaker are still hot.
- Comment on Upgrading ungrounded two-prong outlets to grounded three-prong? 1 month ago:
Depending on how they ran the wire and the type of wire it may not require a professional but if you dont feel comfortable doing the work there is nothing wrong with hiring an electrician.
To verify if a ground wire was run, there are two things you can do:
- Check existing receptacles
This means turning of a receptacles at the breaker, removing the cover and pulling the receptacles out of the box to look at the wire run. If it has a black/white and bare copper (or copper clad aluminum) then there is a ground wire in the box. If you dont see a bare copper wire or if the wire was cut short at the point the wire enters the box then an electrician is probably required.
- Check the breaker box
To check your breaker box, flip the main breaker that runs service to your house. It should be the 50/100/200 amp breaker at the top that is not part of the column of smaller breakers. Then remove the cover around the breaker box to expose the wiring inside the box. All the wires from your house should run into this box and if you have ground wires they should be connected to the ground bus inside the breaker. Again you should see lots of black/white wires and bare copper wires that are ground wires. If they are all cut at the point the cables enter the box you will probably need to run new wire and that will require an electrician.

Fox and Fox News are different corporations. Fox News is a cable daylight and streaming entertainment “news” channel. Because it’s not broadcasting over the air it’s not subject to same FCC standards that ABC CBS NBC and Fox are required to uphold.
- Comment on Gutter replacement 2 months ago:
Honestly gutters are something I pay for. Most good companies have machines that bend and shape them on site so you can make them continuous. That prevents leaks and ingress.
They also will have it done in a day, doing it my self would take much longer.
