Let Me Get A Big Hell Yeah For A Redneck ONT
Welcome to Friday night! I found this to be interesting.
Fido Friday: Presents!

If a conservative is a liberal who has been mugged, is a socialist just an individual who can't succeed?

Psalms 59:2-5
Rescue me from evil-doers, from men of violence save me.
Rescue me from my enemies, my God;
lift me out of reach of my foes.
Deliver me from evildoers;
from the bloodthirsty save me.
They have set an ambush for my life;
the powerful conspire against me.
For no offense or misdeed of mine, LORD,
for no fault they hurry to take up arms.
Come near and see my plight!

Many waiters, clerks and the like continue to exist because of me, because I have the capitalism-granted ability to go on vacation from time to time instead of living in my dorm room like a fucking serf hoping that gubmint massa gives me a carrot this month because I's a good boi."

They're part of Greater Liechtenstein, like most of the places you know about. It's currently known as Earth, and soon to be known as Earth+, once my august personage is ensconced on the throne from which I'll extend my usurpage to the rest of the solar system.
But first, I must usurp the throne of Liechtenstein. Everyone knows that galactic usurpations start in Liechtenstein.

I am midway through constructing a transport cradle made of 1 1/4 by 2 1/4 rectangular steel tubing. Front and rear end piece built, and they are supporting the weight right now. Need to add longitudinal and transverse diagonal braces for stability, and angle iron skids underneath so it can be slid around. But I ran out of daylight today.

As davidt noted above, Too bad the bottoms don't match.
I'm in some hope that it's meant to have a flange or mounting plate welded to that junction. You know, "where the carb goes."
Must be some pretty heavy gauge tube, or they'd have bent it, up to where they join. I imagine most places would 3D print a form of that now, and sand cast it. Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

A sand-cast item of those dimensions, even in stainless, would have to have a wall-thickness about 50% greater than the welded-up sections as seen in the ONT pic. Material density, possible porosity, etc.
Strum-Ruger & Company don't only make Investment Cast firearms, but they also do the Investment Casting for +/- 80 of the various metal golf-club heads made in the U.S., for most every brand name maker.
I think it's likely that Ruger could make an Investment Cast version of that "Y" pipe. Their process might also involve a centrifugal casting process, so as to let some addtional "G-force" spin the molten stainless into a denser finished product than a mere gravity pour, alone.

Looks like a respectable machine. Capable of stick welding with electrodes, and also flux core MIG, and gas-shielded MIG. Looks like the gas hose is included, but not the gas regulator. You can probably get a regulator and tank at your local welding supply store. The flux core is useful, particularly outdoors in windy conditions, but for very neat work, gas-shielded si the way to go.

First off, the Blu-ray looks great.
Secondly, Donna Reed is freakin' deeeeeelicious!
Third, Mr. Potter was right.*
I know George Bailey is supposed to be the good guy but he seems to have this bubbling undercurrent of resentment at everyone around him. He continually sacrifices his own happiness for others and gets pissed on that he's clearly bitter about his entire life. So finally he explodes at his family, which is way more than he deserves, and finally runs off to kill himself. He's too spineless to even ask for help from all the people he's helped, it's up to his wife and uncle to take the initiative. What I'm saying is George Bailey is a douchebag and borderline failure living in the shadow of greater people because he lacks balls.
It's a fine movie with a great ending but it's a moral abomination.
*Mr. Potter only fucks up once when he keeps the money Uncle Bailey misplaced instead of giving it back. That's his only verifiable crime. Otherwise Mr. Potter is only the villain because he's a great success and doesn't apologize for it. Fucking New Deal morality, maaaan.

I hope so. We have a friend who works for the FAA, pretty high up, and he told us he would hire Little when he graduates. Base 85k + benefits + overtime. I told Little he cannot pass up an offer like that. I think he would have to go to Austin though. Which is fine, if he wants to, but right now, he's thinking he kind of wants to hang around here so hopefully, my friend can get him something similar locally. He should be able to, he's in charge of his department for all of the airports in Texas.

They not only make a great deal of deepwater gear made to operate at "those" depths and pressures, but also a lot of the Practice Pool fixtures that NASA uses for Astronaut Training there at JSC.
Oh, and his pay would be nearly double that of the FAA offer.
No, it's not a Saturation Diving job, (unless he wants it to be), but again, they MAKE a lot of the systems that go into deepwater ROVs and the like.
Some of that is what might be called "watchmaker grade" welding. What we call "exotic", they call their everyday work outputs.

In Israeli publications, there have been a number of former Israeli Peace Activists writing about how they realize now that they were completely wrong about everything. Although I'd suggest they accept more responsibility for their mistake, I find it interesting that most of them maintain that it wasn't their fault for being idealistic, it was the Palestinian's fault for being barbaric inhuman animals not worthy of such consideration. (not an exaggeration, from what I read that's become a very widespread opinion in Israel now)

actually the most infuriating thing right now is watching the Houthi's disrupt world shipping, and even shooting ballistic missiles directly at US warships, a clear act of war. A US carrier group, which is in the region, could end this situation in 24 hours, yet Biden and Blinken sit around with their thumbs up their asses, doing nothing.

I see the current existence of 2 carrier groups within that region as Biden's "bludgeon" against Israel if they don't toe the line on a cease fire timeline that the CSPOS Blinken will direct them to.
Not that our POSCSLMF MSM will ever elude to.

Early 1950s, Jinja, Uganda. Morning meat market. Mostly on the ground on banana leaves, some in proper cement stalls (easy to hose down). The meat is fresh. So are the flies. Mum and I go to "our" butcher at one of the covered stalls. Mum gets a whole falaymeyon, several pounds, for about 1 or 2 shillings. (20 shillings to 1 pound sterling). Butcher cuts it out of the hanging carcass in front of the customer. Take it home, give it a rinse under the kitchen tap and stick it in the fridge. I ate fillet until the late 70s when the hotels started hoarding it and making it pricey and unavailable.

A high-risk lifestyle, for sure. They talk about "ketamine infusion" as a treatment for opiate addiction. Sounds like some sort of quack treatment for addicts who want to pretend to quit.

Well, I am a sinner in need of God's grace. But I wouldn't be h big sex acts at my workplace. . And I fail to understand why someone would be sworn in on sex for kiddies lit. We had one dolt in NJ who got sworn in on some works of Issac Newton because the Democrat dolt was a scientist and not. a religious person. He evidently didn't know that Newton was a very religious man.

You know, maybe you'll understand this. Mrs b went to catholic school her whole life. She has a strong faith, but is quiet about it. You really would never know because she doesn't talk about it. I don't go to church, but she does, religiously, (no pun), and she sings in the choir. Its rare that I'm in church with her, but with all the damn funerals lately I have been there with her more than usual. I feel like a wretch next to her, its a weird feeling. I watch her, her movements, how she knows every word, how she holds her arms out with palms facing up during some prayers in a perfect posture, and sometimes pressed together for other prayers, again in a perfect form. The last few times it was like a felt some weird presence, but couldn't put my finger on it. I'm thinking its maybe just the power of the church messing with my mind. Today though, I realized its her. She radiates it and I almost feel small next to her. Does any of this make sense?

Well, in the life of faith it's all. a process. We don't fully arrive until the life to come, but "
Jeremiah 29:12 ) I think it's verse 12 it says " You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." God values your intentions and those desires iof all of us. God bless you!

Yes. Yes, it does.
As you know, mi amigo, I run about neck and neck with you in the reprobate sweepstakes.
But, being a retrograde, Born Again, Jesus Confessing, Bible Believing (bourbon swilling, cussword spewing, cigars smoking) Christian, I can tell you this:
Your Wife exists there in the State of Grace. You should join her there. You'd be welcomed. Eagerly so.
And, I should also thus, partake of my own advice. But I'm stubborn that way, too, it seems.

yeah, but then there's that attitude of mine that I don't trust man to speak for god. Just today, perfect example. There's My BIL in the casket in the church, with his whole family around him, and the priest makes a comment that you can't go to heaven if you don't go to confession. My BIL didn't go to church or confession, and here is a priest in front of his family saying yeah sucks to be you buddy. Even Mrs b questioned that one, she thought it was a terrible thing to say and didn't believe it herself. Thats a classic example of why I don't go.

It's not her, although she is awesome. She's the conduit, no, the example. What is she radiating? What's the source? That's what you should think, and if you're so inclined, pray, about. The entire key to Christianity, and what differentiates it from every other religion, is found in Revelation 3:20.
"Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me."
Christianity does not insist on itself, like Islam. It offers itself. Whether or not you embrace it is up to you.
In any event, I grieve with you for your BIL. May his memory be a blessing. I offer the same to DDS.

The dogma of "the church" ain't the connection your wife has with Him.
Bypass all of that.
Connect directly, you to Christ. You don't need all the vestments, incense, kneelings and such.
Just talk one on one with Him. However you feel right.
The answers, might surprise you.

Wow, that's harsh.
I grew up Lutheran, so different rituals, but I'm with you in *not trusting man to speak for God*. Haven't been to church in decades, except to accompany friends to their churches. Some of those "services" left me bewildered, particularly the newer DIY-styled ones.
I always thought confession was between God and the individual? Guess there are different opinions on that, as well.

That pretty much has been my attitude. Screw the middle management and go to the source. Like I said a while back, the events following my mother's death when I woke up the next morning with a new body, and all traces of former serious ailments and injuries (like 5 hammered disks in my neck) mysteriously vanished I knew there was something, and it shook my former beliefs to the core. I opted for a direct line to the big man after that.
Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division at December 16, 2023 02:45 AM (VwHCD)
You're on exactly the true course, there. Continue doing just that, and in time, your own faith will bloom, blossom and grow, in ways you cannot yet understand. But you will. I assure you, sir. You will.
Simply let your words of faith pass by your lips, and speak them to Him. Not to me, not to Weirddave, but to HIM.
HE, will set the rest in order, and your path will become increasingly, clear.

We spent the Friday & Saturday after Thanksgiving camping on the AZ side of the Colorado River along the Parker Strip.
The first evening, as we were lounging on a bench at sunset along the river bank, three middle-aged adults (rather portly, NTTAWWT) approached with RC monster trucks (with all kinds of cool lighting on top and underneath) hauling trailers with RC speedboats on them.
We watched as they backed the trailers into the river from the beach, released the speedboats, and proceeded to spend 10 minutes whipping & zipping the speedboats around the river up to speeds of 50 mph.
It was a lot of fun and a reminder to keep that kid inside of you alive ...

Hey, JT. Another night of insomnia for me, although I have to admit my sleep has improved from adding a couple of new routines: "discharging" by standing in earth each morning for 5-6 minutes, and then ending my morning shower with one minute of cold, running water (I literally start hyperventilating); I'm working my way up to doing a new fad called "cold plunging" in your own ice bath.
Meanwhile, I mostly drink some whiskey or martinis to get myself back to a few more hours of sleep -- and I need to eventually cut that shit out.

A dog! Illuminated dog figure, like the deer ones that are open frames with lots of white lights, pretty good size too-- maybe 30" high, in sitting position. Has a big red bow around its neck.
