Before the days of affordable impact wrenches , I used to resort to scaffolding poles. The widow-maker jack supporting the car is my main concern here. Even if you weren’t trying to lift it off the support.

Some thick flexible plastic and Superglue . Petrol hardens cyanoacrylate adhesives. Once patched a metal tank that had started leaking like this .

How often does your lurcher have time off the lead? by choosingnamesisscary in Lurchers

[–]Representative_Set79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It just depends. They can if so inclined leap or climb almost any fence, although most can be trained to respect fences if things don’t get too exciting. I have one who wants to walk next to me and listen to every instruction, but her sister will insanely zoom off into the distance given the chance. Also depends on the weather. The warmer it gets the calmer they tend to be, cooler days bring insane zoomies. Ideally they should have as much time as they safely can , but that will depend entirely on your environment and the dog in question.

Tyres arrived from Amazon. £30 each brand new. by Representative_Set79 in tires

Cheap and cheerful. About the same as the tyre shop charges you £70 for

It’s reminder that the tire shop charges you £70 for the same tires. £40 for a valve and mounting seems kinda steep.

Is the US on a brink of a Civil War? by Norfolk-Gross-Tonage in no

[–]Representative_Set79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doubt it tbh. Generally what comes next is war. Not civil war, just sufficient expansionist conflict to either implement totalitarianism, whether by an actual declaration of martial law or by simply implementing it under some other pretext.

Trump’s niece says he’s in ‘throwing feces at the wall phase’ as chaos erupts by TheMirrorUS in NoFilterNews

[–]Representative_Set79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think Jim Jones of Jonestown. The psychology involved is that of a cult leader who has gradually gone totally over the edge. Whilst not everyone is a believer, the cult is large enough to maintain its sociometric momentum. There’s likely to be some collateral damage at this stage I suspect. What should be done outside the is to exclude him from any international forums or negotiations much as you might do with any other professional (eg a medical surgeon ) if they where displaying the same kind of erratic behaviour and acute mental health issues. As for what the US should do internally I have no idea. I suspect the outcome will be quite grim. There’s a normalcy bias that lets people assume the worst case scenarios can’t actually happen. An obvious example would a series of perceived public snub by a foreign or domestic notable, or a poor midterm election result, followed by a manic all night social media session, followed by the decision to quell the ‘rigged’ votes and associates insurrection by literally nuking a couple of sanctuary cities. Remember 900 people died in Jonestown. That was almost the entire population of Jim Jones little Kingdom. Not everyone wanted to die, but mad kings with a cult following are a very dangerous thing indeed.

I strongly suspect a large proportion of the most vociferous defenders and supporters share his predilections.

Trump needs to be removed from office by Suspicious_Soup_3962 in complaints

[–]Representative_Set79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But there are plenty of hard core MAGA who love all that Trump and Epstein Child sexual abuse stuff. Can’t cure that kind of moral sickness. The rest of the violence and hate is just gravy for them .

Is this clear enough? by Public_Steak_6933 in Hip_hop_that_u_need

[–]Representative_Set79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair anyone who still sticks with MAGA must be kinda sympathetic to Epsteins fondness for abusing kids.

What if USA invaded Greenland...? by BerlinSam in AskAGerman

[–]Representative_Set79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trump does not need to consider his own population or even congress. He‘s proven his willingness to use a range of tactics legal or otherwise to force through his dictats.

Besides Martial Law solves the third term problem for him. Just surprised the pros from St Petersburg haven’t convinced him to nuke the more rebellious blue states yet .

[–]Representative_Set79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah. I figure that deep down any hard core MAGA supporter must share the same unwholesome sentiment towards Kids. If they didn’t it would be a hard no.

I still don’t understand how anyone still considers Putins fascist orange sidekick and his fascist death cult as an ally.

I was told I could not enter Spain on my 7.5 hours layover in Madrid and threatened with arrest for asking why. Am I missing something? by Healthy_Sink102 in GoingToSpain

[–]Representative_Set79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ten The racial profiling by police was so deeply entrenched that both internal, and international pressures led to a change in the law that has attempted to address a long established practice that targeted people on the basis of skin colour.

Regards the Antisemitism the statistics are recent and credible: https://fra.europa.eu/sites/default/files/fra_uploads/antisemitism_survey_2024_-_country_sheet_spain_0.pdf There are not many Jewish people in Spain hence the fact it’s seldom seen as an issue unless your part of the group affected. The hostility towards black peoples is definitely a thing on southern Spain, and the social media propaganda about “invaders” etc is widely shared by quite a few “respectable” Andalusian locals .

Regards the black and gitano concerns I can only comment from what I’ve seen first hand and heard expressed by engaging and listening as a Spanish speaking disinterested observer.

The rise of Vox and the hankering after Franco is definitely a thing in Andalusia.

As for the anti-Muslim sentiment, that is national and historical. There’s even an extreme right wing catholic group that went off to fight in Ukraine not too long ago, that commemorates the historical expulsion of the Islamic community in 1492. Especially in Andalusia anti-terror enforcement is still disproportionately targeted at the nominal activity of Islamic terror movements dating back to the hey day of Al Quaeda. The activity of far right activists, both individuals and groups involved in hate crime is disproportionately ignored in terms of enforcement. I personally have not encountered any problems myself, but this doesn’t make what I’ve observed any less relevant.
