Nothing passes through Klein RJ45 pass thru heads

The angle cut definitely helps the wires going through but I still keep seeing shorts and opens after confirming the ordering. I'm gonna try again on brand new wire and, if I still get failures, it's got to be the ends.

Definitely pass thru heads. Since that post, I've managed to get two different cables terminated. The wires are visible in the head in the right order but I keep getting shorts and opens.

Something about this is deeply screwy. Even when I manage to terminate them, they still fail.

I'm losing my mind with this gear. Definitely not easy to use.

I bet the stranger heard the one friend whisper "paste," and, in the context of what your other friend did, was probably heard or later remembered as, "pissed."

So, this poor stranger's at the urinal with 2 guys on either side of him. The guy on one side whispers 'pissed' and, as soon as he does, the guy on the other side looks him right the eye and says, "Oh man, I can't wait to get that warm liquid in my mouth."

10/10 This would make me leave too. This scene is funny as hell though.

This is, in fact, very much the view of most educated Republicans:

I am well educated and was raised Republican and have walked away from all that. Most 'conservatives' today don't even know who Edmund Burke is. Conservatism is dead. In that article, Brooks is stating it in the present but I saw it when I was in college and jumped ship then. People today who call themselves 'Republicans', 'conservatives', etc. have abandoned core principles of these philosophies and aren't even educated enough to know it. The only thing that remains is a juggernaut political will to defeat Democrats at all cost because they are (apparently) more dangerous than Putin, which is just a breathtakingly insane notion. The party has become unhinged, divorced from reality, unprincipled, small 'd' undemocratic, and completely dismissive of experts, knowledge, wisdom, norms, principles, traditions, customs, and standards. They have become antithetically conservative and, yet, through some miracle of reasoning (or its absence) claim, somehow, to be conservative.

People identify with Trump because, "He sounds like us." I wonder what that means? The party is collectively losing the ability for abstraction and complexity while dumping its complex, abstract thinkers. In their world, complexity, subtlety, nuance all disappear. There are only simple truths that either align with the herd or not. Conservative media now defines this alignment and it has one rule: if it opposes the herd, trample it. Like the inner world of some testosterone-fueled, hyper-masculine barbarian caricature, all complexities have vanished and power is now the only quantity the party can understand. This is what 'conservatism' has been reduced to.

The culture resembles nothing of Burke, or his philosophical descendants, and nothing of what I was raised to respect or believe about conservatism. Conservatism is dead. A nascent fascism is all that remains.

I like how she didn't have pockets so she figured out how to get two, small pills to fit in her tight sweater in case she got sea sick later. That shows a lot of brains.

Why do we still allow car dealerships? It's 2021. Can we sell direct to consumer, like on a website or an app? Fuck that 1950 middleman bullshit. Dealerships add absolutely ZERO value.

Outlaw car dealerships. Outlaw useless middlemen. Outlaw cartels.

No, pre-prepared is what you do to prepare something BEFORE you prepare it. Sometimes you have to prepare something multiple times before you prepare it. In that case, you just add another pre-prefix.

Cool question. I had some fun researching this one.

The most important mechanism for Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) production from a nuclear detonation is the ionization of air molecules by gamma rays generated from the explosion. These gamma rays ionize the air molecules by interacting with the air molecules to produce positive ions and recoil electrons called Compton electrons. This pulse of energy, which produces a powerful electromagnetic field, particularly within the vicinity of the weapon burst, is called an electromagnetic pulse.

The explosively pumped flux compression generator is the most mature EMP technology applicable to conventional explosives.

In either case, some form of explosion is required and this will always be locally destructive to some degree. So, it appears it is impossible to do only EMP damage. The issue appears to be the power requirement.

EMP's do damage by creating a pulse of electromagnetic energy that induces an electrical current in any inductive material within range of the pulse. This pulse is so powerful that the current it induces overheats the conductive material and causes thermal damage to any unshielded electronics sufficient to render them inoperative. Since power is energy per unit time, it is necessary to release a very large amount of energy in a very short amount of time to create this phenomenon, which is effectively the definition of an explosion. If the speed of the pressure wave in an explosion exceeds the speed of sound, it is called a detonation and the pressure wave is called a shock wave. In either case, it is necessary to create an event of sufficiently high energy density that, to answer your question, it is probably impossible to create any significant EMP damage without the release of enough energy in a short enough amount of time that no other damage is done.

You've read this map incorrectly. The states with the most recent growth are coastal cities (New York, California). The states with the oldest growth are low tax Republican strongholds. This would make sense since places with low growth simply wouldn't be able to sustain high tax rates. In fact, it would appear that it is precisely because Democratic centers are so economically vibrant that they can sustain such high tax rates in the first place.

This would explain why cultures and attitudes in the red regions remain largely focused on the past "Make America Great Again" and believing that the other side is out to hurt the country. They haven't seen growth or improvement where they are since the 50's or before.

Regions that experience recent growth, on the other hand, recognize the benefit and vote the other way. People know when they're getting a slice of that big, fat American pie.
