And sometimes the harbor frieght is a direct clone of the name brand but for inferior plastic parts where the name brand would have metal. You can often upgrade the knockoff to be a near equivalent.
I’m just waiting for the other shoe to drop and for a Belgian or something to drop in here to say that they’ve had fully interchangeable batteries for the last twenty years, and then make fun of us for building houses out of wood because we didn’t clear cut our continent.
I have a metaboHPT Brad nailer and it was absolutely the most affordable I could find outside of harbor freight level, and at the same time one of my highest quality tools. Truly a joy to use.
Ah, pirate streaming, the only way to stream HD fan- AI upscaled Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. A project that a fan did because Paramount (Disney?) said that it wouldn’t be profitable to do, so they were going to let it languish in SD forever.
I’m technically capable but all I know about is manually torrenting from public trackers without even using VPN because I got old and out of time and also like living dangerously and don’t mind getting occasionally smacked with bandwidth punishment for arrrrrrring. Usually I just use arrrr streaming. Is there a good guide to learn about the stuff you mentioned ?

All I know is that PalmTran in south east Florida became wildly unpredictable during the Great Recession due to suicide by train. Many many times it was shut down do to people offing themselves on the tracks.

People who are sick of Christian hegemony, who would like to see a functioning social democracy in the USA instead of religious welfare with Jesus Strings attached.
I didn’t downvote. Just saying why people might. Where is religion not a dominant political force? At least 25% of the US GOP base is evangelical and as a bloc has immense power. Church handouts are big marketing and many conservative church goers are quite open in research polls that the church, not government, should be doing the welfare.
Yes. But the politicians’ evangelical dog whistles are extremely loud because a full fucking quarter of the base is fundie. “God and Country” folks might not be churchy that often, but they definitely use Evangelical/fundamentalist Christianity as a moral polestar for fucking with literally everybody who’s not.
Fucking hate this. There is a local public meeting that starts with a prayer to the Evangelical God in Jesus’s name that I’m forced to attend because of my job. I hate being essentially compelled to participate in prayer. The SCOTUS precedent supporting this is 100000000% Christian bias.
