Does Ford use those grain elevators and silos in the back to feed the Mustangs?

Just wondering.

18 In 1927, an advertising agency hired Charles Sheeler to photograph the Ford Motor Company’s new River Rouge plant, a vast complex ten miles outside Detroit, Michigan. Covering 2,000 acres and employing 75,000 people, River Rouge was the world’s largest factory and the first to fully manufacture cars on site. After finishing the photography assignment, Sheeler produced a series of paintings of the factory complex, including River Rouge Plant.

21 Why does imbalance bother me so much? The water and building in the left foreground look fairly realistic, but the background buildings look cartoonish to me. The perceived mismatch takes me right out of possible enjoyment of the piece. *sigh*

created in 1932, represents the Ford Motor Company's River Rouge plant, which was the first factory in the U.S. to assemble a complete automobile on-site. This vast industrial complex, located near Detroit, employed around 75,000 workers and was a symbol of modern industry.

Yeah, I agree. It looks like the opening of a scene in a realistic Japanese anime.

Still, I like it's near still life and abstract use of forms.

Very visually attractive.

Might hang in a hallway. Or in a cubical farm space.

57 I can admire the talent to accurately capture the lines of the buildings, the shadows, even the reflections in the river. But there is no soul. It feels empty and sterile. Even the water is barely moving judging by how little distortion is in the reflection. Can't imagine where it could be displayed except, maybe, in the hallway of the business.

62 One day I devised myself a plan
That should be the envy of most any man
I'd sneak it out of there in a lunchbox in my hand
Now gettin' caught meant gettin' fired
But I figured I'd have it all by the time I retired
I'd have me a car worth at least a hundred grand.

I'd get it one piece at a time
And it wouldn't cost me a dime

63 For a moment, I was thinking during WWII, the River Rouge plant cranked out aircraft. But nope - aircraft engines though among other things.

That was the Willow Run plant - they built over 8000 B-24s there.

84 . . . he realized that he would not be able to make a living with Modernist painting. Instead, he took up commercial photography, focusing particularly on architectural subjects. He was a self-taught photographer, learning his trade on a five dollar Brownie. Early in his career, he was dramatically impacted by the death of his close friend Morton Livingston Schamberg in the influenza epidemic of 1918. Schamberg's painting had focused heavily on machinery and technology, a theme which would come to feature prominently in Sheeler's own work.

Researchers say Russian government hackers were behind attempted Poland power outage

A failed December effort to bring down parts of Poland’s energy grid was the work of Russian government hackers known for causing past energy disruptions, according to a security research firm that investigated the incident.

Last week, Polish Energy Minister Milosz Motyka told reporters that the attempted cyberattack on December 29 and 30 saw hackers targeting two heat and power plants, as well as trying to disrupt the communication links between renewable installations, such as wind turbines and power distribution operators.

Motyka called the incident the “strongest attack” on Poland’s energy infrastructure in years, with the Polish government blaming Moscow for the attempt. Local media reported that the attacks could have knocked out heat and power for at least half a million homes across the country.

Something like 26,000 Army Air Force personnel were killed, the odds were not good on bombing missions. Not as well known, something like 10,000 planes and personnel were killed in the US, just in training.

They would send guys up, and if you made it back in one piece, why, you’re suitable for further training!

Trump only has to stay in to win.

Their power is indirect, coercive, deception, etc.
Feminine power can never defeat masculine face-to-face.
That's one of the reasons they hate Trump so much--all of their usual tactics and ploys just ... don't work.
"you're mean, shame, people hate you!"

But, they still work on others.
Bed-wetting pussies like Errock Errorickson.

Also, this is a war of attrition.
Trump is grinding away their voters and their money.

Seem to recall at peak production they were cranking out a couple dozen B-24s every day or every hour or whatever. At the time River Rouge was the largest or longest assembly line operation in the world.

Something like 26,000 Army Air Force personnel were killed, the odds were not good on bombing missions. Not as well known, something like 10,000 planes and personnel were killed in the US, just in training.

They would send guys up, and if you made it back in one piece, why, you’re suitable for further training!

226 On another forum someone was complaining they were offered $50 for a silver dollar.

Bullion coins are .999 ; US coinage is 90 per cent. Worn out silver dollars - “slicks” have very little to no numismatic value. They will he purchased at a discount to spot price. Not that much, however. Dealers don’t want to get stuck if the price declines, the refineries are backed up.

Silver dollars in better condition don’t get sent for melting. In fact they should trade at a slight premium over spot because they are well over 100 years old.

Know what you have, and what they should trade for. .999 gold or silver bullion coins should be bought and sold within 2 or 3 percent of the spot price. That’s his profit. They don’t care whether the price is going up or down. They make money on the spread.

I said like two weeks ago that Walz was going to use immigration as a shield for himself in the fraud.

That he was going to turn his personal liability in shovelling out billions of dollars illegally into making himself a cause celebre on the left by being the face of ~~insurrection~~ resistance to Trumpist fascism.

The left would be far more likely to rally around him if he was championing their pet issue rather than the fraud stuff.

I'm fairly ignorant of what actually happens with the money they take from us once it gets converted into ones and zeroes.

So, they withhold your income, let's say. That's real money someone has, or gets to say they have, that was taken out of your employer's accounts by some mechanism. The IRS itself, presumably, now has it. So they hold it in some kind of account. Also presumably, that account accrues some kind of interest, as per the very premise of your snark (evergreen, btw).

So.... what actually does happen to that money? What account(s) is it in? What ledger do all those interest payments show up on? Whose pocket does it actually go in to? Does any actual living human know the answer to this question?

252 From the link in #229.

It is well known that ICE and the Border Patrol are leery of informing Minneapolis police of their whereabouts now because every time they do, somebody in the Department leaks the information. A Minneapolis City Councilwoman is organizing members of the mob and administering a Signal channel directing protesters. Other councilmembers are participating in the disruption of law enforcement efforts. Hennepin County prosecutors are participating in felonious protests.

And the chaos is not organic. It is well-funded, well-planned, and is the product of a coordination between outside activists (many of whom get government funding) and government officials.

Like do they understand that their actions are keeping ice from deporting people who sexually assault kids? And do they just not care. Is fighting Trump more important than their kids being safe from these monsters.
---
From the one case I have seen, it could be they wouldn't care, anyway. Saw a Hispanic ICE officer ask an AWFL "Do you know who you are protecting?" He explained that it was a man who was wanted for multiple counts of kiddie rape. I don't think she was convinced, but she said nothing and really didn't change her attitude.

282 272 263 This is a moment of truth for Trump and the country. In a sense, the entire war with the Left is wrapped up in Minnesota right now. If our side retreats one inch, makes one concession, toward some deluded idea of "turning the temperature down" or making peace with rioters, MAGA is broken. I hope he understands.

oh lighten up Francis

this message btw is one the Left very much would like to encourage

they ALWAYS encourage flying off the handle, moving before thinking. because Chaos is their god.

grind them down. the weather sucks. keep uncovering their comms and funding.

in the end this isn't Canada per se. they are - what we were before - a satrapy of China.

It was the LA riots last year, too. A couple of blocks. Maybe a couple of hundred people.

We're not seeing large scale images of masses of people marching (even the days designed for it are limited in scope these days).

This PR battle will ultimately not matter. It's a narrative fight while Trump keeps sending DHS to arrest and deport literally tens of thousands in Minneapolis alone (all while red states are just obliging and deporting even more).

Focus on the narrative while the policy fight is being played out...and being won.

Yup, under normal circumstances. Up to ten points if it's a local mom and pop.

But the buyers are charging *extortionate* premiums, at least as of 2 weeks ago. Even big buyers like Apmex were wanting 10-12 points. And they're raising the minimum buy/sell, too.

Mining yields have been off for years. Refiners are snapping up whatever they can get. There is no reason for these premiums. I think it's just juicing itchy silver owners who are wanting to take profit while the market's hot.

Whitney Museum of Art: (In part) Charles Sheeler was a leading exponent of the innovative modernist style that arose after World War I in the United States and came to be known as Precisionism. Artists associated with the movement fused a planar geometry developed from European Cubism with an interest in uniquely American subjects, often celebrating industry and a Machine Age aesthetic.

I expect that it could be a clerk in Records, not necessarily a sworn LEO. However, if Minnesota has a DPSST (department of public safety standards and training) like Oregon and other states, then the clerks could be required to have a DPSST license -- which comes with signing written promises, including vague ones about keeping trust. That kind of abuse of the system would presumably count, so if nothing else, their DPSST license (and job) would be at risk.

That certainly changes things, but it's up to the parents there to make the calculation if their kid is really in danger, or if it's just a situational nuisance. If the kid is separated, but still with trusted other members of their community, they would be a lot less likely to consider it an emergency I suppose.

Now, i'm not saying those shitheads didn't *deserve* a bloodbath, mind you.

I'm just venting that it's not fair to think these people were pussies and cowards just because they didn't go full Brawl in Cell Block 99 on said shitheads. My catharsis is not their liability.

And their politics are all based on emotion, so they have to watch themselves, it seems, to avoid any sympathy for somebody who is not of the Body.

Which is why conservative black men get 0 sympathy and liberals are even more likely to use racist slurs against them. I've even seen it where in discussing physical victims, they will say something like "we cannot allow ourselves to feel too much for these people", and then the explainer follows.

Not really. The argument for Nazis being "right" is that they weren't doctrinaire Marxists. Their doctrine resisted the idea that goal of socialist takeover was to create government-less communes worldwide.

Thus they did not follow Marx's theory of History, and they impeded the step to the "End of History".

All that is true, but you're a Marxist if you claim that fascist are "on the right". A doctrinaire Marxist affirms that a really oppressive government has to come in, controlling all production, but, as above, it has to strip people down to prepare for the world without government.

You see, all socialisms have been national, in practice. Some of them have kinda-sorta yearned for a state-less world, and others don't see any need further than total "collective" power.

I did a little bit of investigation (not dealing with law enforcement) with/for the gov. years ago and it often involved filming and weights/measurements, but such analysis (time, distance, etc.) would need to go to very specialized individuals, contractors for final analysis and report in matters of great importance such as severe injuries or illnesses and/or deaths.

Yes, just seconds might pass when it comes to doing the job of ICE agent. (Any law enforcement.) What a burden.

Posted by: tubal at January 26, 2026 10:47 AM (pDt9x)

The promise is the danger: such big energy has to be contained, to be used Earthside. But then the containment itself takes energy, since we're talking magnetic bottles for plasma that would destroy any material. Theoretically, if you could use the energy created to power its own containment...

To put the problem in perspective, the Sun is a fusion reactor. The pressure from all immense gravity of its large mass takes hydrogen and fuses it into helium, which generates immense amounts of energy, and... I forget what triggers the fission reaction that splits it back into hydrogen, but that happens too. (Nothing is free, the energy has to come from somewhere, so IIRC some small mass is lost in subatomic particles.)

So there's both reactions in the Sun, but it's the fusion that's the really big deal; and the same numbers that get captains of industry licking their lips also mean you're basically trying to control the energy of a star, and make it safe to be on the same planet as.

Also pressure and time... the so-called "triple product".

To some degree these can be played off against each other.

The problem is that generating the necessary conditions of temperature, pressure, and time, *thus far* requires more energy input than you get out.

We know that that fusion power isn't impossible because we have both hydrogen bombs and the sun that demonstrate otherwise. It's just very difficult to do, in a controlled way, with the equipment than we Mere Mortals have developed to date.

I've seen proposals to use hydrogen bombs as a sort of hybrid geothermal system. You drill a really deep hole, along with conduits (or rock fractures) so you can put water down and get steam back out. Then you set off a hydrogen bomb at the bottom of the hole.

When things start to cool off, you chuck another bomb down the hole. Lather, rinse, repeat.

There are obviously some practical issues here (how do you keep the hole open or rapidly regenerate it, given that you're setting off fusion bombs at the bottom), but it would work.

480 Hitler himself wrote that traditional, ethnic based bigotry against the Jews was not going to work. So he formulated a "Scientific antisemitism" and taught that the anti-natural behavior of Jews was the problem.

Just one example: other nations had banded together in consolidated nations to compete for supremacy of "race". The Jews, on the other hand *seemed* happy to live among the other nations. Then he mixed back in Messianic prophesies of the Messiah ruling all nations, and decided that this dream they had of ruling all nations in that way was a summit of anti-naturalism.

So even his hatred of the Jews was not *traditional*, although it could have been propagated by older hatreds just as equally.

Gentile is the Italian philosopher that worked with Mussolini to formulate fascism. Gentile said that fascism is necessarily socialist.

Now, keep in mind Marx's embrace of socialism was only as a way to communism, literally living in non-governed communes. And as the Scottish industrialist Robert Owen coined the term "socialism" for what he implemented at his commune in upstate NY, "socialism" is not a subset of Marxism.

But I perceive that the fundamental difference between fascism and Marxism, is that Marxism believes in a "withering away of the state" and fascism is fully invested in the state and sees no reason for this--or possibly likelihood.
