Anyone who's ever _been_ to Hooters knows that _no one_ there has an IQ over 180 or the physique of a Greek god.
Someone who reads the Bible would probably know that Greek gods are lowercase "g" and the Christian god gets a capital "g" because that one's _supposed_ to be the _only_ one.
Being pursued by myriads of women is an indicator that you may have wronged _a lot_ of women.
I suspect the only heavy thing this twaffle is lifting is his ego.
it's like a parody of what a narcissist would post.
Theory: Maybe the reason these clowns are -so- over the top is related to this idea:
Narcissism is a defense mechanism. It's an attempt to stave off feeling unloved/rejected/lonely, etc. People puff themselves up and over compensate to avoid feeling the pain of really difficult feelings. It's not me, i'm great!
All of these fascist people -must know- somewhere deep down, that they are utterly loathed by millions of decent people.
The best way to know if someone is charismatic is if they tell you. Who would know better than them how mercilessly charismatic they are? (Irony voice)
I wonder which parts of the Bible he reads, because there are several blatant problems with his other comments. Mind you, he never said it affects anything he does.

The quest for a 200-ton-per-hour stone crusher presents a unique challenge—balancing upfront costs with long-term operational efficiency. Savvy buyers know the cheapest sticker price often leads to the most expensive total ownership, while over-specification can tie up capital unnecessarily. Navigating this landscape requires understanding where to invest and where to economize, all while ensuring the stone crusher machine meets your specific material processing needs day after day.
Modern crusher economics have evolved beyond simple capacity metrics. The difference between an apparent bargain and genuine value lies in evaluating wear part consumption, energy efficiency curves, and hidden maintenance requirements. This guide reveals strategic approaches to secure optimal pricing without compromising the reliability needed for continuous aggregate production.
Strategic Timing for Purchase Negotiations
The heavy equipment market follows predictable seasonal patterns that astute buyers can leverage. Late Q3 often brings inventory clearance incentives as dealers make room for next year's models, while pre-owned equipment availability spikes after major infrastructure projects conclude. Crusher manufacturers typically revise their product lines every 36-42 months—targeting the months just before a new release can yield surprising discounts on current inventory.
Consider off-season purchasing for additional leverage. Northern hemisphere winter months see reduced construction activity, creating buyer-friendly conditions for stationary crushers. Mobile units, conversely, command premium pricing in spring when contractors mobilize for new projects. Some manufacturers offer early bird discounts for orders placed during trade show seasons, capitalizing on the industry's collective attention.
Configuration Optimization Over Raw Power
A 200 TPH rating alone doesn't define a crusher's true capability. The throughput-to-power ratio often reveals more about real-world value. For limestone applications, a well-configured jaw crusher mobile with 132-160kW motors frequently outperforms an overbuilt 250kW unit when paired with proper feeder and screening systems. Focus on application-specific engineering rather than blanket specifications.
Key cost-saving configurations include:
Modular wear assemblies that reduce downtime during part replacements
Hybrid power options for sites with unreliable grid connections
Pre-engineered foundation packages that eliminate custom concrete work
Multi-groove sheaves allowing speed adjustments without rotor changes
The Hidden Value in Aftermarket Support
The true cost of ownership emerges in the crusher's third year of operation when wear part consumption patterns become apparent. Manufacturers offering consumable part guarantees or tonnage-based pricing for liners and blow bars often provide better long-term value despite slightly higher initial quotes. Evaluate service networks with the same scrutiny as equipment specs—a local dealer with 24/7 parts availability trumps distant cost savings when breakdowns occur.
Expected liner life in specific material conditions
Onsite service call response times
Tooling requirements for routine adjustments
Availability of rebuild kits for major components
Financing packages deserve equal attention. Some manufacturers offer production-based payment plans that align machine costs with actual tonnage output, effectively making the crusher pay for itself during peak seasons. Others provide trade-in guarantees that establish future value thresholds, protecting your investment against market fluctuations.
The art of securing an optimally priced 200 TPH crusher lies in viewing the purchase as an integrated system rather than isolated equipment. When operational efficiency, maintenance costs, and resale value factor into the decision, the apparent "best 200 tph stone crusher price" often shifts dramatically. Those who take this holistic approach frequently discover that mid-range priced units with superior engineering and support packages deliver the most crushing value per dollar over a five-year horizon.

So Bluesky is about to require people to verify their age, which means sharing their real identity. I’ve no problem with people knowing my identity but then I’m not trying to hide from abusers. Or explore my gender. Or be a whistleblower. Or protest without getting arrested. Or or or… there are so many reasons people need anonymity.
Despite being myself online I am not keen to show Bluesky my scanned face or my bank card. So I guess I won’t be sticking around there.

Tokyo says it is standing firm on trade after Trump announced a 25% tariff on all Japanese imports, with Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba vowing to do what was best for his country rather than yield to pressure from Washington.

@northernlights @firstprimate we're already seeing the results with Carney having walked back. It will never cease to amaze me how people keep hoping against all evidence to the contrary that Carney is not in fact a spineless imbecile.
@northernlights @firstprimate I've already linked you an outcome, there's zero reason to think further outcomes will be any different given the policy he is pursuing
The DST rescension is part of a negotiation, as is the threat of 35% tariffs.
As I said, I'm going to wait and see. I suspect a concluded trade deal will be worth more than the DST would have brought in, however satisfying it would be to tax the social media corps.
@northernlights @firstprimate so far all Carney has done was cave to the US, and he will continue to do so because he has failed to provide any actual plan of how to replace the trade with US.
He has no negotiation position because Canada is far more dependent on US for trade than the other way around.
To credibly push back and defend Canadian interests would require having a plan to diversify trade. An obvious move would be to start dialogue with China.
No, Carney has also brought Canada closer to the EU through the defence industry, hosted the G7, participated in the annual NATO meeting, launched a reform of the civil service, etc, within a few months of the election.
The man likely has a plan for moving Canada forward in a good way.
Really, most of what I see in your posts is venom from someone who is biased against Carney. Are you perhaps a Conservative?
@northernlights @firstprimate the Not sure why you think bringing Canada closer to EU is a genius move given that EU is imploding economically as we speak.
The plan this carnie has is to gut social services to fund the military, while dimwits like you carry water for him.
Meanwhile, if you looked through my posts and you think I'm a conservative then you're dumber than a bag of bricks. I guess that's a prerequisite for being a neolib though.

Elina Bakunova aka "Eli from Russia" visited Iran before the military conflict between Iran, Israel, and the US began. Before she left, her friends were like, "You're going to Iran? It's so dangerous!" But she found once she arrived in Iran, she never felt in any danger. The Iranian people were kind and curious. She feels the reality of Iran is different from how the media portrays it. She explores the city of Shiraz, visits geographic and historical landmarks, tries the local food, and so fourth. Her English-speaking guides (the whole video is conducted in English) are very good. Officially, Iran is an Islamic country with many restrictions, but many people have little interest in the religion and the restrictions, especially young people. People comply more in public but often in private people ignore the restrictions all the time. There is a difference between the government and the politics and the regular people. The video has very good music.
Oregon sweet cherry growers produced a beautiful crop but are calling this year a disaster. Due to the migrant labor shortage and problems with packing plants, their cherries may not reach the market. #oregon #migrantworkers oregonlive.com/business/2025/0…
@Barbara Monaco ...and yet I found abundant cherries in the Mexican market I shopped at days ago, and they were half the price per lb. that Walmart was selling cherries for. Just sayin'. Tariff? What tariff? Trump is doing a great job of taking American markets off the market and Mexico is poised to take a big American market share.
@claralistensprechen5th In my area, sweet cherries come from the San Joaquin Valley. Right now, they are bountiful and cheap, in some stores well under $3/lb. Walmart has them for about $5/lb. Despite ICE raids they are still being picked.🤔 Not sure where Oregon cherries are sold. Markets in those places will have a hard time.

pulling people in on fake charges are useful to the police because:
1) it gets you out of the street for that night 2) they can try to force you to accept unconstitutional release conditions like not attending protests for some length of time 3) they can collect your info (picture, fingerprints, name, possibly DNA) 4) they can try to frighten new protesters with scary felony charges that would never stick and try to get them to talk (interview) or flip and become an informant.

Here’s why registered office address services are a smart move for new businesses in Singapore and how they can help you stay focused on growth.
Singapore’s streamlined business setup process attracts entrepreneurs from around the world. But one requirement often surprises new founders: the registered office address. It’s not just a line on a form—it’s a vital part of your business’s compliance and public image.
Here’s why registered office address services are a smart move for new businesses in Singapore and how they can help you stay focused on growth.
What Is a Registered Office Address?
Every Singapore company must have a registered office address. This is the official address registered with ACRA (Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority) for receiving government correspondence, legal documents, and official notices.
It’s not enough to use a P.O. box—it must be a physical location in Singapore, open during regular business hours. Since this address is publicly available through ACRA, it’s a visible part of your business’s identity.
Why Startups Choose Professional Addresses
Using your home or personal office as your registered address might seem convenient, but it’s not always the best choice. Many startups lack a permanent office, especially early on. Others prefer to keep their personal address private for security or professionalism.
A residential address can also make your business look less established. Clients or partners might question your credibility if your company is tied to a home address. And if you relocate, updating ACRA adds unnecessary paperwork.
Registered office address services solve these issues. For a modest fee, a provider offers a professional business address. They handle your mail and alert you to important documents, keeping your operations smooth and professional.
How Company Secretaries Play a Role
Singapore law requires private limited companies to appoint a company secretary within six months of incorporation. This role ensures compliance with ACRA’s regulations, managing tasks like filing annual returns, updating records, and monitoring deadlines.
Many providers offer registered office address services alongside secretarial services, creating a comprehensive package. This is ideal for new entrepreneurs who want to minimize administrative tasks and focus on building their business. Outsourcing both ensures compliance without the stress.
Selecting the Right Service
When choosing a registered office address service, reliability is key. You need a provider who notifies you quickly about incoming mail and doesn’t let important documents slip through. A firm offering secretarial services can add value by understanding compliance and helping you avoid penalties for missed deadlines.
Some providers offer extras like digital mail forwarding or acting on your behalf for specific tasks. Evaluate your needs and ask about these features to find a service that suits your business.
Weighing Cost and Value
For startups watching their budget, any extra cost can feel like a stretch. But registered office address services are affordable—often just a few hundred dollars a year. The benefits include a professional image, privacy protection, and reliable mail handling.
When bundled with secretarial services, the value is undeniable. You’re investing in a system that keeps your business compliant and organized, freeing you from administrative burdens and letting you focus on growth.
Getting Started
If you’re starting a company, tackle this early to keep things simple. Many Singapore providers offer packages that include registered office address services and secretarial support, streamlining the incorporation process.
If your business is already established, switching to a professional address is straightforward—just update ACRA. Choose a provider who offers more than just an address, someone who can support your administrative needs as you grow.
Closing Note
Launching a business is a bold step, and administrative details shouldn’t slow you down. A registered office address service helps you meet legal requirements while projecting professionalism. Combined with secretarial services, it’s a practical way to stay compliant and focused.
It’s a small investment that pays off by letting you concentrate on what you do best: building your business.
Corporate secretarial services are an integral part of business management and compliance, particularly in the context of corporate secretarial services in Singapore.
I do carnivore and eat a LOT of steak. I buy cheaper cuts and use a combination of some of the techniques mentioned in this video. It's worth a watch if you want to elevate cheaper steaks for carnivore on a budget. youtube.com/watch?v=OMWrbaOxj3…
From pineapple juice, to buttermilk to soda water, to everything in between... today we figure out how to turn a $1 steak into an ULTRA premium steakhouse $1...
@MrpoopyButhole If you turn the steak into soup in a pressure cooker or slow cooker then I do not see how it would be dry thing is he complained it was dry but did not sorround it by water
Stew is absolutely delicious but I do not know how you could have a stew without plants
If you use plants like fruit juice to enhance your meat then that is a omnivore diet not a carnivore diet
Also I think he said the cheap steak is lean
So if you are actually eating less animal fat by getting cheap steak that is probably better for your health than the steak with a higher percent of calories from fat and thus a lower percent of calories from protein
I remember when you were skeptical of the carnivore diet, tried it, and it helped your arthritis. I'm glad you stuck with it and improved your health by doing so.
@Engineer All the doctors I talked to told me red meat CAUSES inflammation. I guess after COVID I should question medicine more, but now I know. Everything the government says is a lie, and everything it has it has stolen.
Yeah pretty much. I too tend to just do the exact opposite of whatever the government or media says to do. Its worked out well thus far, for whatever its worth. I now question everything from special relativity to oil being "fossil" derived. I even am skeptical of viral pathogens being separate organisms, terrain theory is a possible alternative model. The lesson is learned yet again, its one thing for us to say "question everything" and another to actually follow through!
From Ang Bayan: NPA Paralyzes Destructive Quarry Operation In Himamaylan City
The New People’s Army (NPA)-South Central Negros (Romeo Nanta Command) sanctioned the destructive quarry operation in Sitio Medel, Barangay Carabalan, Himamaylan City, Negros Occidental Province on July 4. The Red army paralyzed and burned two dump trucks and one backhoe.
The quarry equipment belongs to Barangay Carabalan captain Mildred Titular’s business. The total damage to the three quarry machines amounts to an estimated ₱11 million.
NPA-South Central Negros spokesperson Ka Dioneso Magbuelas said residents have long complained about the quarry operation because of its impact on the Paniplan River. He explained that the yearly excavation in the area deepened the river depriving the surrounding farmlands of irrigation.
The quarry operation is severely detrimental to the residents’ lives and livelihood. Crossing the excavation-deepened river has also become dangerous for residents.
Recall that the quarry company forced local residents to sign a “Free, Prior and Informed Consent” or FPIC in 2021 to allow its operations. At that time, the 94th IB was used to intimidate residents, distribute bribe money, and employ other divisive tactics to railroad the quarry operation.
“The NPA-South Central Negros’ punitive action serves as a reminder to companies and individuals against violating the human rights and livelihoods of the people in the name of profit,” Ka Dionesio said. He also warned that the people’s army will not hesitate to defend the people and the environment against quarries, mines, and destructive projects.
“The prevailing Red power in the mountains always stands for justice for the victims of abuse and deception,” Ka Dionesio stated.
Meanwhile, 94th IB troopers have reportedly arrived in Barangay Carabalan following the punitive action of the people’s army. The mercenary army clearly defends the interests of the destructive quarry, landlords, comprador bourgeoisie, and bureaucrat capitalists.

Friends, federated friends to be, in case you haven't heard, #RFFF25 Radio Free Fedi Fest 25, an artists' streaming series from your creative digital neighbours is on! and still going all month!
It is always an absolute vibe. You can just be together and soak it in, or be welcome to have fun in chat. Discover and support independent artists.
Less than 24 hours until #RFFF25
Radio Free Fedi Fest 25 is a month long celebration of #community, #artist support, agency, discovery and inclusive fun via a #streaming series.
We have an amazing, diverse lineup spanning genres and vibes.
Oof, the extent to which performative social media VIPs and platforms will go out of their way to not engage community or support independent and marginalised artists is palpable, demoralising and sad.
Even here in the slightly alternative socials.
From the nuts and bolts of development, to the taste making of narrative hijacking "curators", down to your album or show announcement.
There was more hype about the fest coming then now when the artists are right here sharing their voice!
Help us with one last push out there, that there was an organic way. There is a community way. We must improve artistic agency and normalise more direct support, collaboration and mutual motivation.
These cost dearly in human exhaustion against a backdrop of terrible number go up models and infinite hurdles.
Be the ONE awesome person today or this week that drops a dono to an artist, or drops them a kind note of support, or helps them promote an event.
Head a guy on the radio a while ago talking about places.
We think of places as being permanent. Sometimes they seem permanent, like Yellowstone.
But most of the time it was the people and circumstances we remember, and associate with the place. And the "place" we remember is therefore long gone but creates a cognitive dissonance because it is physically there.
So you shouldn't aim to "get back to that place" but rather focuse on cultivating what made it good, in the here and now.
