Probably going to going to need to measure the brackets and shocks to see what they actually spec. And see if anyone else has hit this same problem, surely someone has.

Gahdammit, that's how so so many projects go these days.

Banks Are Becoming Bulwarks for Vulnerable Seniors

“Americans over 60 lose more than $28 billion annually to financial exploitation, AARP estimated in 2023.

As those numbers rise, because the population is aging and predators are growing increasingly resourceful, banks and investment firms are becoming the first line of defense.”

For everyone wanting to watch this for themselves, I present our elected leaders

The Democrats' Keir Starmer

Today should be your 38th birthday.. When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My love for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken..

At least here in North America, it was marketed as superior internet access for consumers.

The military applications remained hidden until the Russia-Ukraine war started, and that has an ugly history before this....

Again, 2001-2003 was absolutely insane to live through.

Everyone remembers Wray, but for a few the magic started in Eckley. May 7, 2016 I blasted east, betting on a #supercell cluster erupting near the state border. Just as I arrived this scene unfolded — a ghostly #tornado touching down north of Eckley, #Colorado 🌪️ Full chase log link in 🧵

"Because the Night,” a song from Patti Smith's album Easter, was released.

Written by Bruce Springsteen and Patti Smith, the single was actually supposed to appear on one of the Boss's albums, but he decided not to do it in favor of Patti.

We got none of that up here.

I saw a comment the said we aren’t “angry enough.” But all we are is angry. Our veins circulate it like acid. It cracks our sternums. It poisons and paralyzes us. We hiss and spit at each other, all impotent, helpless rage.

We don’t need more anger. We need more direction.

Every time Western allies justify Donald Trumps breaches of international law, they pave the way for him to do it again, further sending the global system into a downward spiral.

Moonrise and sunset #timelapse yesterday, with some sweet standing waves / lenticularis / gravity wave action.

going out to get our food? Or even going to the library? What if we ride in cars instead of walk? I think those are the bigger problems we face in an age of abundance and efforts to make our lives "easier."

that comes with the challenges that today all of us, especially children, are inundated with more food than ever. And because we are animals, we eat to survive and gain fat in case it goes away. But what if it doesn't? And what if we become more sedentary, working at computers instead of....

My current hypothesis on the obesity challenges we face is abundance and physical labor. A tradition in my family is to put oranges in stockings at Christmas, because my grandfather got his first orange in his life at the age of 7. Post-WW2, food supplies have become amazing. But....

Relax your shoulders.

Touch, and then EAT, a bunch of grass.

UMaine is doing this right now, but instead of enrollment they're using grants as the income, which effectively puts theor thumb on the scales. Meanwhile, humanities do the heavy lifting when it comes to required courses and gen eds.

(Never mind that these fields matter and should exist anyway!)

In terms of "good" vs "bad," the different kinds of "sugars" really don't make a big difference as long as someone doesn't ingest too much of any of them as total caloric intake, especially in the absence of other nutritional components.

Precision guided drone/robot human killers of civilians is indeed the problem. The global Starlink coverage apparently was, in part, built and now able to accomplish this. Many people cheered this amazing thing, never knowing it would also be used to kill.
