    Is this a shock to anybody but clickbait media? Or is the shock that it's so high?

    Getting rid of old tools

    My bigger problem is not being willing to get rid of them. I'll probably never use the old brace and bits again, but shudder at the thought of parting with them. For cheap junk tools that break, trash or metal recycling is just fine with me.

    The official "WTF" thread

    Loosely related, after accessing my Charles Schwab account yesterday a survey request popped up. It looked innocent, asking if I accomplished what I logged in to do, followed by a "why or what could we do better" type of text box. I typed in what I thought was a helpful comment, then noticed...

    Direct burial cable recommendation

    As an alternative , if the short is in the orange or green pair, you could swap the bad pair with brown or blue. Adding for due diligence, the camera has to be unplugged when using the cable tester.

    AI Good and Bad

    I don't remember how long ago I got my first SSD. It was an IDE drive which puts it pretty far back. Ever since, I've been saying that switching to SSD was the single best enhancement for just about any PC. When I switched my BI storage drive to SSD, BI started acting a whole lot snappier...

    Is the regime in Iran soon to be toast?

    During my working years, hearing that meant that things would get worse before they got better.

    Funny / Satire

    Some of the pictures that dumb news outlets put with headlines are so bad that they can be funny. ................................ Looks to me like they're being cuffed and arrested. .......................... Looks like there's 7 commissioners.

    I seriously doubt that this was the final flight of either this specific aircraft or of Air Force One generically. The people at The National Desk must be not all that bright.

    Is the regime in Iran soon to be toast?

    Sure. That's one of my special talents. Just tell me how much you want to lose and how fast you want to lose it.

    Is the regime in Iran soon to be toast?

    I TOLD YOU ALL that the Iran war would be over this time. I never said which side was going to surrender.

    Cheap shot picture. Trump could have been just arriving or returning from the bathroom.

    Is the regime in Iran soon to be toast?

    Do you mean forum members or republican politicians? If forum members, for myself in addition to being upset about this I'm upset about the ballroom, the UFC fight, climate problems vaporizing now that data centers need lots of power, and a lot of other things. What good would it do for me to...

    Humans are racing against time to find a new habitable planet

    I stole this of course. I can't draw worth a hoot. With all the cranky old farts on the forum it feels appropriate.

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    Excuse me, but posting this is not allowed, much less newsworthy. Only deaths of thugs with criminal backgrounds while law enforcement is involved are allowed to be posted. As far as the insensitive post goes, I grew up in Chicago and am not a bit surprised. What might be newsworthy is if a...
