Quotes

  • Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.

Update on my elderly aunt.

She is still in rehab, but the doctors say she needs 24 hour care now. So I have been researching homecare companies in anticipation of her being discharged next week at some point.

Though still relatively alert, she is very much different from a month ago and it is pretty obvious that she has reached a point where her neighbor and me cannot take care of her properly.

So, prayers for wisdom as I set up care at home and for her understanding it is time.

@HeyLiberty @1031 all of this is so familiar! Caring for our loved ones is hard! The sooner things are legal the better. We had a durable? POA set up so mom can make decisions as long as she is able and when she’s not then I can. There are elder resources out there. A quick ask on a local FB page can get you lots of suggestions on who/what was a good/bad experience. People are happy to share what worked for their loved ones. Part-time caregivers can be a big help in some cases.

Newark has had three significant tech outages in the past two weeks at the #Philadelphia facility where air #traffic is monitored for the #NewJersey #airport. #Radar screens went black and radios fell silent on April 28 for about 30 seconds in an experience so harrowing that flight traffic controllers have taken trauma leave.

ABSURDITY
The belief in the "State" or in government authority is absurd and a form of mental illness...
Thinking that a small group of men have a legitimate right to use violence and the threat of violence to force the rest of humanity to go along with their schemes and their vision of society is not only absurd it is illogical, immora,l and criminally insane...

Tuskeegee experiments, Waco, MK Ultra, 9-11/Operation Northwoods, Bonus Army incident, Trail of Tears, Oklahoma City, slavery...the list goes on and on...
And yet you continue to trust and support these pathological liars...

For Trump and Saudi Arabia, securing an Iran nuclear deal comes before Gaza's 'day after'

While Israel and its long war in Gaza have become a burden in the U.S. president's eyes, Saudi Arabia is a strategic asset that promises the U.S. president economic and diplomatic gains

Quotes

  • Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.
  • Democritus: Not from fear but from a sense of duty refrain from your sins.
  • Democritus: Many who have not learned wisdom live wisely, and many who do the basest deeds can make most learned speeches.
  • Democritus: Fools learn wisdom through misfortune.
  • Democritus: Strength of body is nobility in beasts of burden, strength of character is nobility in men.
  • Democritus: Neither art nor wisdom may be attained without learning.
  • Democritus: It is better to correct your own faults than those of another.
  • Democritus: Good means not (merely) not to do wrong, but rather not to desire to do wrong.
  • Democritus: Fame and wealth without wisdom are unsafe possessions.
  • Muammar Gaddafi: We will not surrender. We will defeat them by any means. We are ready for the fight, whether it will be a short or a long one. We will be victorious in the end. This assault is by a bunch of fascists who will end up in the dustbin of history.
  • Democritus: By convention sweet is sweet, bitter is bitter, hot is hot, cold is cold, color is color; but in truth there are only atoms and the void.
  • Democritus: We know nothing accurately in reality, but (only) as it changes according to the bodily condition, and the constitution of those things that flow upon (the body) and impinge upon it.
  • Democritus: Medicine heals diseases of the body, wisdom frees the soul from passions.
  • Democritus: Immoderate desire is the mark of a child, not a man.
  • Democritus: Men have fashioned an image of Chance as an excuse for their own stupidity.
  • Democritus: In a shared fish, there are no bones.
  • Democritus: Education is an ornament for the prosperous, a refuge for the unfortunate.
  • Democritus: The animal needing something knows how much it needs, the man does not.
  • Democritus: Moderation multiplies pleasures, and increases pleasure.
  • Democritus: If your desires are not great, a little will seem much to you; for small appetite makes poverty equivalent to wealth.
  • Democritus: No power and no treasure can outweigh the extension of our knowledge.
  • Democritus: In fact we do not know anything infallibly, but only that which changes according to the condition of our body and of the (influences) that reach and impinge upon it.
  • Democritus: Of practical wisdom these are the three fruits: to deliberate well, to speak to the point, to do what is right.
  • Democritus: 'Tis not in strength of body nor in gold that men find happiness, but in uprightness and in fulness of understanding.
  • Democritus: He who does wrong is more unhappy than he who suffers wrong.
  • Samuel P. Huntington: The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
  • Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
  • Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation. It destroyed the wealth of the more solid elements of German society: and left behind a moral and economic disequilibrium, a breeding ground for the disasters which have followed. Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.
  • Lenin: There is no trace of utopianism in Marx, in the sense that he made up or invented a 'new' society. No, he studied the birth of the new society out of the old, and the forms of transition from the latter to the former, as a natural-historical process. He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.
  • Che Guevara: Many will call me an adventurer - and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his platitudes.
  • Democritus: The first principles of the universe are atoms and empty space; everything else is merely thought to exist.
  • Bertolt Brecht: Lenin is enshrined In the large heart of the working class.

@Jess👾 It's probably not induction. A while back there was a light bulb company that had an advertisement where they would unscrew the light bulb from the lamp socket and it would keep glowing, and to further the effectiveness of those advertisements they added some glow in the dark phosphors to their bulbs so they would glow for some time after being turned off. But, if you want to test for inductance, just place it in a Faraday shield, such as a microwave oven (don't turn the oven ON while the bulb is inside if you don't want flaming / melted bulb remains). If the glow goes out while inside the Faraday cage, then OK inductance, but unlikely unless you live next to a higher powered radio or television station.

Finally! good to see active projects built in Europe. As in the BSD community, I like the claim: "shut up and hack!"

I hate in Europe how much we complain about depending so much on USA. But so few projects to self host, self develop.

Europe should be a leader in opensource software and hardware but I don't see any such strategy from EU leaders. FOSS licences are key to peaceful technology development, knowledge sharing, anyone free to customize, and knowledge mastering.

Crane Parts Maintenance Checklist: Avoid Downtime and Save Costs


 Preventive maintenance isn’t a cure-all, but it’s the most effective way to catch issues before they disrupt your workflow. This checklist targets crane parts, providing a practical, no-fuss guide to keep your equipment in top shape.

Cranes are critical to your operations, but they come with a high price tag. A single part failure can lead to costly downtime, delayed projects, safety risks, and mounting expenses.

Preventive maintenance isn’t a cure-all, but it’s the most effective way to catch issues before they disrupt your workflow. This checklist targets crane parts, providing a practical, no-fuss guide to keep your equipment in top shape.

Why Maintenance Is Crucial


A crane’s reliability depends on its components. A worn hook, a frayed rope, or a failing brake can stop operations or cause accidents. The trick is identifying problems early to avoid bigger issues.

Daily Checks (Pre-Shift)


These are quick, visual inspections. No tools needed. Perform them before every shift to spot issues early.

Hooks


  • Check for cracks, bends, or heavy wear.
  • Ensure the safety latch functions correctly.
  • If it’s damaged or deformed, remove it from service immediately.


Wire Ropes or Chains


  • Inspect for rust, broken strands, or kinks.
  • Look for flattened or frayed sections.
  • If anything seems off, don’t proceed—investigate further.


Hydraulic Hoses


  • Scan for leaks, bulges, or cracked rubber.
  • Small leaks can escalate into major failures if ignored.


Brakes


  • Test with a light load. Listen for delays or odd noises.
  • Report any slipping or weak performance immediately.


Controls and Limit Switches


  • Test each control for proper response.
  • Verify limit switches are working—never bypass them.


Weekly Checks


These require a bit more time but are manageable with basic tools.

Bolts and Fasteners


  • Tighten loose bolts and check for vibration damage.
  • Inspect threads for wear or stripping.


Lubrication Points


  • Apply grease per the manufacturer’s schedule.
  • Use just enough to keep parts moving smoothly.


Sheaves and Pulleys


  • Rotate them to ensure quiet, free movement.
  • Check for uneven wear or grooves in the tread.


Electrical Connections


  • Look for frayed wires or loose terminals.
  • If you’re not certified, report issues to a qualified electrician.


Monthly Maintenance


Schedule time for thorough inspections. You may need to order spares from your crane parts supplier.

Gearboxes and Bearings


  • Verify oil levels and check for leaks.
  • Listen for grinding or unusual sounds during operation.


Load Chain or Wire Rope Tension


  • Ensure even tension to prevent side pulling.
  • Correct any improper winding on the drum.


Trolley and Bridge Alignment


  • Check for smooth tracking and inspect rails for wear.
  • Misalignment accelerates part wear and affects load stability.


Emergency Stop Function


  • Test to confirm it stops all operations instantly.
  • Log the test as part of your maintenance routine.


Annual (or Manufacturer-Recommended) Inspections


These are in-depth and require professionals. Your crane parts supplier can provide quality crane parts or recommend certified inspectors.

Structural Components


  • Inspect for corrosion, cracks, or fatigue in high-stress areas.
  • Use ultrasonic testing for hidden defects if necessary.


Load Testing


  • Test under maximum load to ensure reliability.
  • This is a job for certified experts, not DIY.


Control Systems and Safety Features


  • Review fault logs, software updates, and safety mechanisms.
  • Faulty controls are a serious liability.


Keep Accurate Records


It’s tempting to skip logs when things are running smoothly, but records are essential. They help identify patterns—like a part failing every few months—and provide documentation for audits or incidents. Your crane parts supplier](crane-spares.com/) can use this data to suggest better components.

Simple log format:
- Date
- Components inspected
- Issues found
- Inspector’s name
- Actions taken

Partner with a Trusted Crane Parts Supplier


Preventive maintenance relies on access to quality crane parts. A dependable crane parts supplier is key. Choose one who:
- Supplies parts meeting ASME and ISO standards.
- Delivers spares quickly.
- Offers documentation and traceability.
- Understands your crane’s specific requirements.

Your supplier should be a reliable partner, not just a vendor. If they can’t support you during a breakdown, find a better option.

Train Your Team


A checklist is only as good as the people using it. Train operators and maintenance staff to spot issues correctly. Hands-on training is far more effective than manuals alone.

Summary: Crane Parts Maintenance Checklist

Daily:


  • Hooks
  • Wire ropes/chains
  • Hydraulic hoses
  • Brakes
  • Controls/limit switches


Weekly:


  • Bolts/fasteners
  • Lubrication
  • Sheaves/pulleys
  • Electrical connections


Monthly:


  • Gearboxes/bearings
  • Rope/chain tension
  • Alignment
  • Emergency stop


Annual:


  • Structural inspections
  • Load testing
  • Control/safety system checks


Always:


  • Maintain detailed logs
  • Use quality Kobelco crane parts
  • Work with a trusted crane parts supplier
  • Train your team

A few minutes of daily checks can save weeks of downtime. Stay proactive, fix issues early, and keep your cranes running strong.
