@SirHendrick @HaleakalaCrater To be sure this one had a lot more brass than the one that I had, but massive platters means the belt is going to slip when it starts and they are belt driven, and the slippage wears the belt out rapidly. It's a good design to look at not so much one to play records with. I replaced it with a Kenwood direct drive, it lasted me more than a decade before the spindle bearing finally wore out. Still haven't given up on replacing the bearing since it's been so much otherwise trouble free.
@HaleakalacraterFantastic! The broccolini would deserve its own space, I never thought for one minute it would become this huge! I have to keep trimming the leaves that hide the bell pepper plant in the corner, that one looks like a real runt, had a hard time growing. Not sure if I'll get the chance to get red peppers before autumn arrives.
As for the small cucumber plants, they're coming along nicely too!
@Chronic-Yonic managed to locate a flat of cheap Beefsteak tomatoes so I filled in eight plants in cages in the open dead space. planted some herb plants too. I need to automate watering though I use a soaker hose on a sprinkler zone valve but it has a few really large leaks that need repair. I bought a cheap drip irrigation system on ‘zon I might try that. I’m going to get a lot of zucchini this year. They look cool with the huge flowers.
@HaleakalacraterBut that variety of tomato is huge, is it not? Your garden must be nice and big. Wow, you certainly seem to have quite the setup!
I solemnly swear and promise the Garden Gods that if I win the grand prize at the lottery, tonight, I'll make them a very nice garden behind the house I'll end up buying. But I'll eat all their veggies. Hope they don't hate me.
@Chronic-Yonic it’s so late in the season it’s the only one they had at the nursery I went to. It’s a big variety for sure. In cages and trimming excess shoots you can keep them more in control. They are about 3 feet apart.
@Chronic-Yonic I’ll send a photo someday. Before weeds take over. It’s not impressive. 😕 Arugula by seed I might have planted too deep or the seed sprouted then dried up. A few came up but not many at all.
NEW: The country's top medical and public health professional societies are suing RFK Jr for unlawful anti-science changes to government vaccine guidelines.
@Killer_Mule I always think of Barbara Tuchman's excellent book, "The Guns of August" where I first learned the French wore their pantelons rouge as they went to the Front
They're getting hit hard by the resistance fighters in Beit Hanoun in the northeast of the Gaza strip, a town close to the fence (that cages Gazans in), an area that was razed to the ground repeatedly since October 7th and is supposed to be void of any fighters and under complete control by the IOF. This is what makes it many times more significant.
The fact that resistance managed to use anti tank and SAM during the operation is a huge image loss for Israeli army after 21 months of constant bombing and almost total erasure of BeitHanoun, they managed to ambush their troops, not once, not twice but 3 times in a row.
Using Israeli bombs that didn't detonate to make IEDs is the best definition of karma I can think of. PS. The official casualties are 7 dead & 14 injured, but I'm 100% sure the numbers are much higher.
The fascist Israeli Zionists wont stop until they have occupied and annexed Gaza and the West Bank, and that has been their plan since 1948. And we (western democracies) let them! We, our politicians, the media, banks and the military industrial complex etc., are bought and paid for to look the other way, not interfere and just earn $$ on the atrocities performed by the fascists whilst "defending themselves" ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN STOPED BY PUBLIC OUTCRY AND POLITICAL PRESSURE FOLLOWED BY MILITARY INTERVENTION IF NECESSARY! Its DISGUSTING and a SCANDAL!! #FindYourMoral and #StopTheFascists and #StopTheGenocide then #JailTheWarCriminals and #FreePalestine
The video features a scene from the television show "Schitt's Creek," as indicated by the hashtag "#SCHITTSCREEK" visible in the bottom left corner of the frames.

The man appears to be engaged in a conversation, gesturing with his hands.
As the video progresses, the man stands up and continues to gesture expressively, indicating a lively discussion. The background remains consistent, with a lamp and a bedside table visible, adding to the domestic setting. The man's gestures become more animated, suggesting a passionate or emphatic exchange.
The video concludes with the man standing and gesturing with his hands, emphasizing his points.

One of the first things I learned after moving to Texas was if you hear the sirens (tornado, flood, etc.), it's too late.
Analog weather radios, understanding the unique weather during certain times of the year and where to take shelter was driven into me by native Texans until I memorized it.
After receiving repeated ominous phone calls, al-Sultan and four members of his family were killed in an Israeli airstrike. Drop Site interviewed his son.
Chuckie, you haven’t been relevant for many moons…this will not elevate your status….🤡🤡🤡🤡
The U.S. Senate's top Democrat on Monday asked a government watchdog to investigate whether cuts at the National Weather Service affected the forecasting agency's response to catastrophic and deadly flooding in Central Texas.
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer asked the Department of Commerce's acting inspector general Monday to probe whether staffing vacancies at the NWS's San Antonio office contributed to "delays, gaps, or diminished accuracy" in forecasting the flooding. He asked the watchdog to scrutinize the office's communications with Kerr County officials.

Some years ago Mozilla bought Pocket, a popular Read Later app. But today, they're shutting it down. Does this story ring a bell? It's certainly not the first time I see it, and that's why I've been moving all my apps to Solid in the recent years. In this video, I'll share how to build a Pocket replacement with Solid with the framework I'm working on, Aerogel.
Great job! Really cool to see that other people are thinking about a self-hosted Pocket alternative. I was kind of kicking around an idea to build an open Pocket alternative with Fedify, but maybe it could be a great ActivityPods app for the Fediverse?
Just gonna check into this hotel and pair my phone with my Bluetooth speaker and turn on bass-heavy EDM and I'm sure the person in the next room will be fucking delighted to share the bottom notes of my cats-and-boots private recital. Who could possibly object?
The real story is that he was controlled opposition, but someone outted him, so he quickly disavowed. He wasn't supposed to be identified, so he could be used to influence alt-right messaging. Kudos to whoever outted this homo.
What camera should I get my 11 year old if they are getting into photography and have a birthday coming up but finances are tight? A nice camera that any adult photographer would like to have.
