Oh that’s what’s freaking them out?

Does this even matter?? The chilling effect of 245% vs 145% or even 45% has gotta be pretty marginal.

World class conciliator

Its pretty reasonable that if you see a thing that is disguising itself as spam, and you don’t know that it is only disguising itself as spam. To one, not click the link, but also to downvote or report and move on.

The person making the joke probably knows that it is probably going to have a high miss rate, which doesn’t mean they shouldn’t do it.

I already mainly write with #1s

Yeah, looking at the wiki page for the cam workbench seems like it could probably handle VMC work, but even basic turning didn’t sound super well supported, let alone any kind of mill/turn or multi axis work.

Interesting, I hadn’t ever seen any discussion of cam side stuff in freecad, I might have to keep tabs on it a bit more. Looking at their wiki pages for the cam workbench it seems pretty far from adequate for my needs though.

Does free cad have any cam functionality?

In Minneapolis you might go ask the people at the hack factory.

Another common Jaime L

If I recall correctly the ones on the plastic coil can be put back on the coil. I definitely misremembered how nail guns work, it’s probably been a decade since I used one with any regularity, and I have made a handful of compressed air blowguns.

You could probably easily add some fletching to them and maybe a little bit of a barrel to the nail gun to get a little extra muzzle velocity.

Sadly, even there; it would’ve been better if he didn’t

That’s not an answer. What should he have done? How do you prevent the cold war in February of 1945?

Oh. The Yalta Myth, I should’ve guessed. A contender for the founding enemy within type myth for the modern American far right.

What do you think they should have done instead? Immediately gone to war with the Soviets? Congrats! WW3 is much worse than the cold war.

The Soviets already held nearly the entirety of Poland by the time of the Yalta conference. The rest of the allies probably couldn’t have done anything to prevent that level of Soviet imperialism, even militarily. See: operation unthinkable, the korean war, the chinese civil war

A decent essay with citations, even if it is from a firmly neoconservative source. https://nationalinterest.org/article/the-yalta-myth-1052

An article from an american liberal source, responding to the same W. Bush Speech as the previous essay, and whose talking points you echo. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2005/05/what-really-happened-at-yalta.html

Finally, to round it out; a pair of articles by Alger Hiss, who attended the Yalta conference, and who was later investigated by McCarthy’s House Unamerican Activities Committee, specifically by then rising star Richard Nixon. One from the 50s: https://algerhiss.com/alger-hiss/in-his-own-words/yalta-modern-american-myth/ Another from the 80s: https://algerhiss.com/alger-hiss/in-his-own-words/two-yalta-myths/

FDR died before the end of WW2? How would any betrayal of the US allies post WW2 be on him?

I don’t know that biden truly had the ability to stack the court, any justice he wanted to add would have to get through the senate. Which was only very narrowly held by the dems, and a pretty minimal amount of defections would have scuttled the plan entirely while also having broken the taboo. I don’t actually trust biden either, so the world in which biden destroys the democratic norms and seizes power in that way also is a really bad situation.

Supreme court shot down the 20k for pell grant recipients and 10k for non pell grant recipients plan, and basically said that at that scale should require congress. So all the smaller programs have been calibrated to try to survive the court battles.

A tariff on steel and aluminum will have much farther reaching consequences than guns. A specific tariff on smokeless powder is pretty unlikely, though maybe could be part of trying to ramp up domestic production. The US military is trying to make that happen, but that’s kind of the opposite of what you want.

Sure would be nice if social science were complete, and we could say with scientific certainty the effect of any given social activity.

Here are a couple published articles that attempt to get at that question, more research required tho.
