Why are Somalis shooting up both Wilmar and Edina in the same day? These towns are 100 miles apart from each other.
Why are Somali gangs operating throughout the entire state and nobody is doing anything about it?
Why can’t we denaturalize and deport these bastards tomorrow?
I’m done.
Absolutely Done.
We shouldn’t have to live like this.
I’m seriously in favor of any naturalized citizen convicted of a violent crime being denaturalized and deported now.
9 years ago, believe it or not, I was marching against Trump’s Muslim immigration ban, if that tells you anything about how open borders, far left policies, and failing to adequately prosecute violent criminals have woken me up and changed my mind.
Now, I’m pissed and my empathy is gone and I have zero tolerance for any of this nonsense.

Might be that you need a hydraulic press, and suitable pushers and receivers to change the bushings. Which might be an easy job if you have that stuff, and not so easy if you don't. Maybe the "loaded" control arm cots little more than the bushings?

Posted by: AltonJackson at September 23, 2026 08:36 PM (AMvSw)

If the initial alignment was done with new bushings in the control arm, then a new arm with new bushings should restore that initial alignment.

Ah see, that's where my pet theory (there's no such thing as gravity, because gravity just mean "heaviness" and what kind of scientific force is that? It's all magnetism and static cling) comes in.

Since it's a hollow-earth type of thing, you could add centrifugal force to keep people on the ground on the inside of the sphere.

They have no model of anything, they can't even agree on a surface map. When they try something concrete, of course, the flaws immediately come out, so they like to keep things vague.

In a similar vein but not identical I remember an SF story about a world surrounded by a huge wall erected around it. The people had no idea why, then one day one guy determined to find out what was on the other side. He built a huge scaffold, got to the type and set off walking toward the sun. The farther he got the dimmer the sun seemed to be but he kept going. Then it started to grow lighter again and lighter still and he finally got to the edge of the wall and found the top of his scaffold and the team he had left behind. The wall had no other side.

No, just support the arm until disconnected. The two mounting points are oval cutouts, so use a marker around the fitting- that should get you pretty close if not in spec.

Might be that you need a hydraulic press, and suitable pushers and receivers to change the bushings. Which might be an easy job if you have that stuff, and not so easy if you don't. Maybe the "loaded" control arm cots little more than the bushings?

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at September 23, 2026 08:36 PM

yeah, if you have to take the whole control arm off to press in the new bushings on the bench, might as well just pull the old of and replace it with a new control arm

which presents a different set of problems, but is probably easier in the long run

Posted by: FeatherBlade at September 23, 2026 08:46 PM (C0Nlv)

In the true hollow earth theory book (yes, I read the 19th century original) they just draw a line on the shell and call it 'where gravity comes from'. Of course this doesn't work with Newton's law. Spinning the earth fast enough for gravity to work would flip everything on the *outside* off into space, followed by the shell destroying itself.

He posits a little mini sun in the center for light, which shines some light out the holes at the poles which is the aurora borealis. Not sure when the real explanation for the aurora came out.

Don't laugh. That's what a lot of the Flerf logic is. Gravity is static cling. Or it's "density" (heavy objects sink, light objects rise). Of course, when point out you need an actual external force to do that, one that defines which way is "up" vs "down", well.....

And one of them was actually reviving an ancient notion of gravity vs "levity".

The Ancient Greek Homos had that somehow. Ironically, the knew the earth was a sphere, but had this geocentric model. Gravity was "heavy things" wanted to go the center, and "levity", or light things, want to go away from the center.
