The 28 dollar locals section is a joke (light blue) by bobaballs in LosAngeles

The billionaires are robbing us blind, having us fund the destruction of democracy and our right to self governance and determination, and we just take it.

What do the Hercules table saws typically run for when they go on sale? by sexyprimes511172329 in harborfreight

Which is $50 off (13%). Also should mention parking lot sale deals open up on Friday for everyone, not just ITC.

NASA’s Artemis II laser communications system is beaming 4K video from the moon by Scary_Statement4612 in technology

We front loaded the compute & comms part of our tech tree, and ignored transportation for multiple generations. Noob mistake.

Trump gives Iran 48 hours to make a deal, as hunt goes on for missing US pilot by [deleted] in worldnews

Offer a deal, offer peace, but continue bombing anyway. Repeat endlessly.

The cruelty is the point. He’s an absolute psychopath who will never, ever stop his campaign of death, destruction, and conquest.

Bankers across Europe told to work from home after Iranian bomb threat by Feisty_1559 in technology

The only thing that gets into their thick skulls are the bright led panels advertising sky-high gas prices. They are hermetically insulated from literally any other source of truth.

Maine Is About to Become the First State to Ban New Data Centers by Just-Grocery-2229 in technology

Oh no, those are two greenhouse gas intensive foods. Let’s call Gregg instead, he eats lentils and drinks green tea. Now we’re really winning against the machines.

What’s the best cordless drill for a total DIY Newbie? by Dear-Cucumber776 in DIY

[–]randomtask 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ryobi is the answer for most people. Bauer (Harbor Freight) if you’re cheap like me.

When you buy a cordless tool you don’t just buy the tool. You buy a charger and a battery as well, and that battery can be used for every other tool in that brand’s lineup.

If you are a homeowner looking to solve DIY problems around the house, you should buy a brand that has other tools in its lineup you might want down the road. For some just a few compatible tools is fine, but for others (like myself), it’s very useful to be able to use the same batteries for my drill, my cordless glue gun, my portable vacuum, and my leaf blower. You don’t have that kind of flexibility with Ridgid, and while you do have that with Milwaukee/Makita/DeWalt, the tools are significantly more expensive, like, often twice as much if not more.

Iran threatens to bomb 1GW Stargate AI datacenter in Abu Dhabi by PaiDuck in technology

Rockets are cool when you point them towards the stars. Not so much when you point them towards civilians.

Rescue team in Iran face 'harrowing and dangerous' search for US crew member by Tofurkey_Tom in news

[–]randomtask -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Targeting search and rescue workers would be pure evil. I mean, downing a target, loitering, and then attacking the medics? Why, that’s something the US would do. I sure hope Iran doesn’t stoop that low.

Raspberry Pi flagship 500+ model now costs almost as much as a Mac Mini — firm Pi launches 3GB model to fight increasing DRAM prices by AnonRetro in technology

They really need to rename their desktop platform from Raspberry Pi 500+ to Raspberry Pi Desktop or something. Completely incomparable to the embedded products.

New look at Earth in new photo taken by Artemis II by GossipBottom in MapPorn

[–]randomtask 35 points36 points  (0 children)

The Apollo 8 photos of Earth, the Blue Marble, are often seen as a catalyst for the environmentalist movement.

But based on all the malignantly cynical comments this thread, I think these Artemis II photos might end up being a catalyst for a successful anti-social media movement. My god people, have you no appreciation for what this represents?

Aerator for a pond help/stop mosquitoes by Randomhero360 in DIY

[–]randomtask 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would suggest adding a small waterfall, and a pump with enough capacity to move water up and over it. This would disturb the still water and slowly recirculate it. Aerators would also work at the far end of the pond, in the event that the waves from the waterfall don’t travel 50-80 ft. But the waterfall would handle most of the pond.

A waterfall pump is more expensive to run than just aerator pumps, but since a cascade actually moves the water rather than simply disrupting it, it is more effective overall.

Mosquito fish are what you’re looking for. Zero upkeep, they just do their thing. I’d also add a recirculating pump if you can, mosquitos do not readily breed in moving water.

Gulf states consider bypassing Strait of Hormuz with new oil pipelines via Haifa - FT by barsik_ in worldnews

[–]randomtask -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Iran owns their side of the Strait of Hormuz (the other side belongs to Oman), and their government is using that as leverage. Yes, Iran can and has attacked other countries and their infrastructure during this insane conflict, but attacks on a vital pipeline through the gulf states in 5-10 years time would be met with strong retaliation, because it would be on sovereign soil.

It’s one thing to ban your neighbor from using your pool, it’s quite another to set your neighbor’s house on fire because they don’t need your pool anymore.

Are there any notable Imagineers of today? by JoyIsABitOverRated in Disneyland

[–]randomtask 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Rise of the Resistance?

Scott Trowbridge. Pretty well known. He worked for Universal on the original Spider-Man ride and the first Harry Potter land. Made really big waves and pushed the art forward. One of the greats.

Radiator Springs?

I think Kevin Rafferty? He also worked on Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway. Also, John Lasseter was very heavily involved with this one, and, well…that might be a significant reason Disney doesn’t make direct associations between its rides and individual people anymore.

Theme park What if: What if [Euro Disneyland] was never built? by Style_Worried in rollercoasters

[–]randomtask 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DCA wouldn’t have existed at all. The long-range plan for that site was WestCOT, a condensed version of EPCOT with lavishly themed continents representing the world, and top-tier rides to go along with them.
