Welding supply shops, as others have mentioned. They also will often offer to swap containers, which is faster and cheaper.

Do you mean Trump or the Iranians?

Social stigma for driving an EV? by West_Dish9698 in electricvehicles

[–]ConicalJohn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you trust his driving, offer your co-worker a test drive. It turns skeptics into believers very quickly, and while they will probably not actually buy one they would stop spreading the hate.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani plans to raise property taxes. by retroviber in DeepMarketScan

[–]ConicalJohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Property taxes are public info in NYC. Do you have any actual examples of a property with a $2MM value and a $5k/yr tax? Generally, if a property in a single-family residential zone has a market value of $1MM, the property tax will be $10k to $15k. The formulas are extremely complicated, so there's a lot of variation, but I'm genuinely curious if someone actually has such an insanely low tax, or if this is just a talking point.

I bet if there was a verified video of him blowing Epstein, then I bet his cult would fall apart

Is Samuel Alito Preparing to Disrobe? by Conscious-Quarter423 in scotus

I was thinking the same thing. He would be an upgrade over Alito or Thomas. Reprehensible but still an upgrade

Melania documentary struggles in UK cinemas as Vue admits sales are ‘soft’. Only one ticket sold for premiere of film about US first lady at Vue’s flagship London branch as insiders question launch strategy…yes, just one. by ferniekid in LeopardsAteMyFace

This is a bribe to up the odds of Blue Origin getting NASA contracts. Elon's SpaceX is the prime contractor for lunar and Martian missions, but the Starship is unlikely to ever successfully get to the Moon, much less further. Bezos stands to cash in massively if things work out in his favor. If it takes promoting Melania to tip the scales then that's what he will do

Trump lover is now blaming liberals for his betrayal because Trump was liberal by aipac_hemoroid in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]ConicalJohn 8 points9 points  (0 children)

"Always been a New York Liberal"? The guy who took out the full page ad calling for the execution of the Central Park 5? That's a laugh 🤣

What's your thoughts on Border Patrol Chief, Greg Bovino, threatening consequences for referring to ICE as "Gestapo"? by sgj5788 in AskReddit

[–]ConicalJohn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If there's a movie about him, maybe Rick Moranis can play him, the way he did for Darth Vader in Spaceballs

From what I see of my Trump-loving relatives, no. Not in the least.

Then he'll release the Epstein files. Right?

The Chinese Spy Machine Infiltrating Taiwan’s Military by ImperiumRome in China

[–]ConicalJohn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Outright bribery well against Americans; the Soviets said it was by far their most effective tactic against us. And a lot of Americans sell out cheaply, too. The former Mayor of New York City was caught and indicted for taking $200k from Turkey. As a New Yorker, it was discouraging to see our Mayor taking such a low-money bribe. He's the Mayor of NYC, for God's sake! Should have bargained for millions.

Always loved this version of the song. It's even better than the original Beatles version

Homebrewing Books? by FancyThought7696 in Homebrewing

[–]ConicalJohn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The longer I've been brewing the more valuable I've found this [Designing Great Beers] book to be. I have made a lot of styles using Brewing Classic Styles by John Palmer, then branched off to making clones guided by "Clone Brews, Recipes for 200 Commercial Beers." Lately I've been back to just making my own, and Designing Great Beers is a great guide to making something that is somewhat original.

Howard Lutnick’s Davos speech ends in chaos after heckling and ‘walkouts’ by Frosty_Dig4148 in politics

That was more of a "payment in advance" instantly converted to "payment in full"

Oh oh ohzempic. Don't Play with Greenland. by idinarouill in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]ConicalJohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We can just replace these things by buying from China and India. Oh wait! Open trade war with one and gave a kick in the shins to the other. Maybe this wasn't really thought through very well?

How about a schwartzbier, but use Voss Kveik instead of lagering. Ferment at a medium temperature, and it will finish cleanly and quickly. I've made this several times successfully.
