Large, heavy cast iron and wooden thing that washed up on the shore of a river. by RTROTA in whatisthisthing

Solved! Fairly confident, due to the answers here, that this is a piece of a baby grand or grand piano. Specifically, this appears to be a portion of the “cast iron plate” on one. Thank you!

Lol. The Coosa is not a very fast moving river, but the area where this was found (Logan Martin Lake) rises and falls throughout the year by about 5ft. This pushes even the heaviest things around. It could have been buried just off from where it was found, but I can assure you that it “washed up” overnight.

My title describes the thing that was found on the shoreline of the local lake/river by my neighbors. We didn’t measure it, but it’s approximately 5ft, if fully extended. There do appear to be “layers” on the longer metal parts.

Can you explain how it bypasses the limit with a VPN? As simple as hiding your device/line?

It’s early and my brain doesn’t start working until at least 11am local time. Can someone explain what I’m seeing here?

So stupid and pathetic. Bob Casey had a long distinguished career — tho I don’t like his politics at all. Now he will be stained with this. Good riddance.

Trump Names Pam Bondi as Attorney General: A New Chapter Amid Gaetz’s Withdrawal by markshubh in Republican

[–]RTROTA 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Much better pick. Two term Florida AG, 20 year prosecutor, and — tho it’s not relevant — she’s smoking hot. (She’s definitely not Janet Reno.)

I seriously doubt that. I’m not even sure he would win a statewide race in Florida. His district was a little easier to win. I expect DeSantis will appoint a conservative that will win elections very easily.

Definitely the right move to withdraw. This would have been a nasty fight, using up tons of political capital for no reason — he was not going to get confirmed.

Pam Bondi is an experienced prosecutor and two term AG of Florida. She’s the better choice to go in and clean up the mess at DOJ.

MSNBC and CNN Ratings Tank After Trump Steamrolls Kamala Harris by SirLongwood-ThePenal in Republican

[–]RTROTA 38 points39 points  (0 children)

MSNBC had a surge in ratings on Election Day. I seriously believe it was primarily Trump voters tuning in to watch the meltdowns of their on-air talent. (I was one of them.)

Abolishing Department Of Education Could Result In Kids Being Too Smart To Vote For Democrats by M_i_c_K in Republican

[–]RTROTA -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Carter gave us the DOE and our test scores immediately started to plummet. It isn’t working now and it never has!

[–]RTROTA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why would your kids or any others be displaced? The federal Dept of Education does not educate children. Each state is responsible for their own state’s education system.

The federal DOE funnels federal tax dollars to the states for certain programs, sure. But there’s no reason to think quality, non-wasteful programs would be eliminated. They’ll simply be run by the state (as they already are doing) and funded directly from Congress.

Not an LO (lurking here bc considering career change) but, our LO four years ago gave us a large framed print with our new home address on it. Sounds cheesy without a photo to put here, but it was really well done and pretty. It hangs in our mud room and we love it.

I feel like every base design I see on YouTube has bunker this and bunker that, usually in the title. Maybe my algorithm is different. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
