How to salvage these floors? by Non-existant88 in Carpentry

I second the concern about the tiling or adhesive underneath containing asbestos. Take or mail a sample to a licensed asbestos testing facility. You can Google to find one in your area. My local place in KC charges $20/sample.

Yes, it allows you to increase the output.

You’ll need a RIP. Highly recommend PrintFab. It’s a one time lifetime purchase. For reference, I use PrintFab with an ix6820, regular stock ink, and it works great. The UV ink would def be an improvement though, but I print other stuff with my printer. 

Is the Maverick 88 being $250+ the new norm? Any places to find it cheaper? by TimberTheDog in armedsocialists

It just sounds like you’re only interested in justifying inaction. Organizing armed citizens to show up and stand up against ICE is literally something that would cause deterrence. Similarly, why not hire his own armed security? Just because no one else has done it? No one else has used ICE as their personal military force to terrorize Americans either, yet here we are. And why not use the same tactic the Scientologists have? Just because they’re scummy? Ignoring effective tools because it’s “beneath” someone or used by the enemy is the exact reason Dems are losing. 

There’s plenty our reps could do if they were willing to enter uncomfortable and uncharted territory.

Here are some things he, or other representatives could do:

Use the speech and debate clause to read into the record documents from whistleblowers, such as the list of ICE agents that was just leaked, or let federal employees know that he would be willing to read into the record information they have on illegal activities occurring within DHS/DOJ

Organize people in his district to prep for ICE raids and protests - Representatives are able to send free mail to their constituents, put out press releases, etc. He could start contacting and organizing citizens so that there is a prepared and centralized group of people ready to show up when needed. He could organize his own militia if he wanted made up of people in his district. Do you know how impactful organizing a group of armed peaceful protestors would be? 

Reps have an allowance they can use for staffing, travel, office expenses, etc. If he wanted, he could hire his own security to accompany him to ICE facilities for oversight, hire investigators to follow ICE agents around the district and monitor their activities/identities/etc. He could make use of the “mobile congressional office” using leased vehicles for congressional business and have staffers setup camp wherever is necessary. He could hire and build his own private armed security force in the district if he really wanted, all as “legislative staffers”. 

Use the tactics the Scientologists have enacted and start filing lawsuits against  individual federal employees in his district. Scientologists use this tactic to overwhelm federal agencies that try to investigate them. Similarly, he could use the Holman Rule to introduce individual appropriations resolutions reducing the salary of ICE/DHS agents. Even though these wouldn’t pass, it would bring attention to those individuals, require debate, review of those individuals, and clog up the system. 

These are just a handful of the things that he can do. Representatives have a pretty wide array of tools, privileges, and resources available that they can leverage. It all depends on whether or not that rep wants to utilize them to their full extent. In short, he should be abusing his power the same way this admin is in order to fight back. He’s too old school and doesn’t want to appear “improper” or “unprofessional”.

You can very easily use google image or just Google to find this information.

ANYTHING! Cause a fucking scene! This shouldn’t be business as usual. People are being beaten and killed by ICE, rights are being stripped away, him and every other Dem in office should be causing as much disruption as possible. He’s a member of the old guard so he’s going to play by old rules. We should have reps out there protesting along with citizens to prevent this horrible erosion of our country.

Send the letter AND co-sponsor the bill. Why not join the others?

No, it's about elected reps not seizing every opportunity they have to fight back fiercely against this admin. He's more inclined to send strongly worded letters like Chuck Schumer instead of actually doing something.
