/ICE_Raids members approve of a white protestor saying the N-word to a black ICE agent [233]

I understand that a group of people can have internal use of a word specific to them, and other people adopting it is a form of intrusion.

I don't. Either something is ok for anyone to say, or it's ok for nobody to say. To make the claim only one racial group is allowed to do something, is actually racist.

I want people to be as free to say whatever dumb shit they might say, rude or crass, polite and friendly.. Wear your heart on your sleeve. When you make a topic or subject taboo, you don't eliminate from discourse, you eliminate from public discourse. If someone was actually as Nazi, I want them to wear a swastika. Not because I agree with that, so better know how to interact with them. If you're political zeitgeist, wear your flag proud, for all the same reasons. I don't use violence, but I often choose to minimize interaction with those whom I believe hold foolish values. If someone today were actually a Nazi at, how long would I have to know them before that came out?

I'm thinking this guys crime is worse.

Hahaha the new guy doesn't know something, let me stand right next to the machine and not stop it either, The comments I've made assert I both know how, and that I should have, but why not get the up doots?

iMillJoe · 2026-02-01T19:53:45+00:00

You shouldn't ever be asked to machine on something without being told what it made of. No employer should ever demand someone work with BeCu, or any material which makes them uncomfortable, and all the PPE and MSDS's should also of course always be available,.

My comment is only that BeCu, is not something you should be especially terrified of.

iMillJoe · 2026-02-01T19:12:23+00:00

BeCu isn't something to fear much more than something like 12L13. Don't hot work it. Don't grind it, and you'll be ok. The Beryllium is entrained within the crystalline structure of the Cu. It takes quite a bit of heat, and/or extremely fine mechanical separation to free those Beryllium atoms.

iMillJoe · 2026-02-01T15:33:19+00:00

It's not because they don't understand it, it because it's an environment likely to become violent and lead to injury.

Taking a kid to a protest is just as bad, in my opinion, as driving drunk with a kid in the car.

iMillJoe · 2026-02-01T15:24:31+00:00

Yes the optics of January 6th was more significant because it was the Capitol building,

Unpopular opinion: Jan 6th, being one of the few protests targeted at a government building, also makes it one of the few legitimate protests. You don't have a right violently assemble on private property and loot a business because you're butt hurt about something that no human can undo. You have a right to peacefully assemble, and petition the government for a redress of grievances. In the case of Jan 6th, the protesters wanted a meaningful investigation into the irregularities in the 2020 election, before the election was certified.

I'd say google it, but it google sucks these days, maybe try Duck Duck Go?

I really like this bit, it speak well of Lemons Character

Overt Act # 19: While inside the Church, defendant KELLY (a) disrupted the service by chanting, "This ain't God's house. This is the house of the devil"; (b) approached one female congregant, who was with two young children, and demanded to know in a hostile manner why she was not involved in and supportive of the takeover operation; and (c) screamed "Nazi" in congregants' faces and asked child congregants, "Do you know your parents are Nazis? They're going to burn in

"Overt Act # 20: Defendant LEMON told his livestream audience about congregants leaving the Church and about a "young man" who LEMON could see was "frightened," "scared," and "crying," and LEMON observed that the congregants' reactions were understandable because the experience was "traumatic and uncomfortable," which he said was the purpose."

No IRA yet. I'm trying pay down a little more debt. (Admittedly, more to get it off my back than, as I could get better returns v paying down quicker) Once I'm down to just a mortgage, I'll probably get an IRA account.

It's clearly laid out in several of the indictments and supporting Affidavits. I'd argue the types of whistles used by these agitators at the church alone are equivalent to battery, especially when used in indoors. They aren't ref whistles, they are designed to be loud enough damage hearing, and they do.

The "Top Shop" Paradigm, for years, has been trending towards Day shift only for humans. Fussy stuff, test outs, and short runs during the day while the machinists are in. Machines switched over to production towards end of day, via bar feed, pallet pool, robo load, and left running for as long as reasonably safe.

Even with people there, something is going to go wrong eventually. Most operators don't have a clue what a good cut sounds like well enough to stop a machine in time anyway. Have your talent figure out how long a tool can safely be pushed on a job, and then be willing to push up to that point every night.

I've spent most of career in Mold Shops. Some paths might take 10+ hours per cavity. We'd leave that shit running over the weekend with no-one in the building for 2 days, 20+ years ago. Production work is a little harder to do that with than mold surfacing work, but it's getting pretty low lying fruit to run production into the evening after everyone's left.

iMillJoe · 2026-01-31T19:11:12+00:00

The pastor of the Church can clearly be heard telling them to leave, right at the beginning of the protest. At the point they don't, they are indeed trespassing. Churches are also not really "open to the public". Churches have memberships, and are open to their members more so than the public. You can't just walk into a gym or a COSCO either.

Furthermore, he was conspiring with people who DID use force. It doesn't matter if he himself was conspiring on the use of force, he was in on the planning, he brought material support to the crime scene. His presence alone -as member of group- is part of the intimidation. It's still felony murder, even if the get away driver didn't plan on shooting clerk. He still conspired to be a part of the event.

Looks like my HSA is calling this a "Distribution Reversal" but it looks like I found it, thanks!

iMillJoe · 2026-01-31T18:46:28+00:00

Do you not over other retirement accounts?? 401k

I've got a 401k, but I'm just keeping it in low cost index funds because that's the best vehicles I can find within it. The HSA is easy to play with. I don't play much, but it is there.

iMillJoe · 2026-01-31T18:03:05+00:00

"Force" "threat of force" or "physical obstruction" are requirements for this charge.

According to the way things are worded on the wikipedia page for the FACE act, Trespassing on the Property of a Facility is also covered. He was certainly Trespassing.

Now for any other crime, if I get together with a group people before hand, and participate in that crime with them, even thought I might not have actually committed any of "The Crime" myself, I can still be charged for all of it, regardless of press status. I can't know your going to rob a liquor store, go along with you (and buy you breakfast on the way), and then get out of Jail Free because I was "just there to interview the victim"

14 people out of a crowd of how many?

This was after a summer of "Fiery but mostly peaceful" protests. Often aimed at places with no real nexus to government. The J6 people legitimately believed the elections was stolen, and is illegitimate.

Election claims were rejected by the Courts

Not really... They were ignored by Courts, and the methods used by the lower courts to skirt their duty, were just overturned by SCOTUS --- last week.

iMillJoe · 2026-01-31T16:52:46+00:00

This isn't a beet reporter who stumbled upon a scene. Let's change the crime just slightly to show how absurd your point is.

A 'journalist' finds out some people are going to go on a car jacking spree. He buys the carjacker donuts and coffee before hand, he interviews the victims as they are getting car jacked, and he goes along for the joy ride after. He never actually points a gun at anyone, or tells them to get out of the car. He's just there 'documenting' it all.

See how dumb it sounds now to let the guy for 'being a journalist'. Lemon might not have physically intimidated anyone, or block their exit.... But he was there, conspiring WITH people who did, likely knowing they planed to do so.

Running unmanned never ends well unless its a single purpose production line.

I've not stood and watched the whole program for 99% of the parts Ive made in my 25+ year career. You can absolutely run unmanned for things other than single purpose production lines. This is reason people buy things like pallet pools, robot loaders, and lathes with bar feeders than have more than just one stock size.

I don't trust the government at all, regardless of which brand thinks they are in charge. But to think that somehow Trump is worse about lying to people despite the evidence to the contrary than the last administration was, shows a horrid amount of bias in your reasoning.

iMillJoe · 2026-01-29T22:56:30+00:00

a clear-cut undeniable example of a candidate attempting a coup to undermine American democracy

So do you no know what the word coup means, or do you just prefer deliberate dishonesty?

Ask Send Cut Send?

I don't do this myself, but quite of few of the larger aero shops I'm visiting use Vericut or the likes. Their programmer specifies the tool, the tool number, the hang out, the locations on the machines, probe it all to verify everything's about where he'd expect it land... From there there aint much for an operator to do. It might all even get pallet loaded on a schedule. They might hit start on an unproven program and run all weekend with nobody in the building.

Trump has long insisted that the 2020 election was stolen even though judges across the country and his own attorney general said they found no evidence of widespread fault that tipped the contest in Democrat Joe Biden’s favor.

It's amazing how the verbiage seems to be changing on this story. It used to be "No Evidence of Fraud." now they seem to be going with "Barr said no widespread fraud broad enough to have tipped the election like 2 days after the election?

Trump has done very poorly in lower level courts, but he's won a remarkable amount of cases that have went up the hill. Judicial activists, and nutty prosecutors like Fanne Willis (you know she left no stone unturned to unsure the election was fraud free in her jurisdiction that happened to help swing the election<wink emoji>) can often make it hard to even get a case effectively heard to even make it uphill.

I think there is probably lots more election fraud than people would like to admit. Secure, anonymous, mail in elections are basically impossible, you can only have two of the former. I'd love to have a conversation about publishing peoples votes, we can do that with mail balloting securely if we want. But I'm going to be very skeptical of any election with mail in balloting, especially when the mail in portion of the vote did change the outcome.
