@N.MorganThere were many, many, many attempted and failed vaccines. Which only proves that morons can't do Bayes, and biologists especially can't do math. Since the probability of a successful vaccine, must take into account all the failed one. Poor little morons, so confused about selection and survival bias. But, hey, I suggest all Democrats get extra boosted for riot seasons.

I do believe you are helping train AI and large language models with these queries so these actions are commendable. So vaccine “science” is based on predetermined planned “positive” outcomes and doctors and/or CDC/NIH just push it via coercion, approved vaccine schedules and lies? For what purpose though? Kickbacks and monetary gain from big Pharma? Population reduction? Bioweapon development? It certainly isn’t to prevent disease anymore…curious what your opinion is.

Hydraulic System Failures: Managing Leaks, Heat, and Pressure Issues


 These problems are all too common, particularly in aging cranes or those under heavy use without regular upkeep. Fortunately, most issues provide early clues. Learning to recognize and address them can save you from costly repairs and downtime.

Hydraulic systems power cranes, enabling them to handle demanding tasks with ease. When they’re functioning well, they’re practically invisible. But when leaks, overheating, or pressure loss occur, your crane can grind to a halt, stalling your work.

These problems are all too common, particularly in aging cranes or those under heavy use without regular upkeep. Fortunately, most issues provide early clues. Learning to recognize and address them can save you from costly repairs and downtime.

Leaks: Small Drips, Big Problems


Hydraulic leaks are one of the most frequent issues in crane operations. Some are obvious, leaving puddles under the machine. Others are sneaky, seeping slowly and causing unseen damage. Damaged hoses, worn seals, or loose connections are typical culprits, worn down by relentless pressure.

Leaks do more than waste fluid—they hurt performance. You might notice delayed responses or reduced lifting power. Many operators top off the fluid and carry on, but that’s a short-term solution. Unchecked leaks lower system pressure, let air into the lines, and can trigger overheating.

To fix a leak, stop the crane and trace its source. Clean the area, restart the system, and inspect closely. A slight oil spray near a fitting can indicate a serious problem. For Kobelco cranes, keep spare hoses and seals ready to avoid delays. A reliable crane parts supplier can deliver Kobelco crane parts quickly, keeping disruptions to a minimum.

Overheating: A Growing Risk


Hydraulic fluid needs to stay within a specific temperature range to work effectively. When it overheats, it loses viscosity, reducing lubrication and causing parts to wear out faster. This can lead to complete system breakdown.

Look for signs like a burnt odor, dark oil, or uneven crane movements. Overheating can result from low fluid levels, clogged filters, blocked airflow, or a failing cooling system. Pushing the crane too hard, especially in warm conditions, can worsen the problem. Older or heavily used cranes are especially susceptible.

Troubleshoot by checking fluid levels and condition. Replace old oil and clean filters. Clear debris from the cooling system. Using low-quality parts on a Kobelco crane can contribute to overheating, as they tend to run hotter and fail sooner. Stick with Kobelco crane parts from a trusted crane parts supplier to ensure system efficiency.

Loss of Pressure: When Strength Slips


Nothing’s more frustrating than a crane that can’t perform. Loss of hydraulic pressure can make even simple tasks a struggle. Internal issues—like a worn pump, stuck valve, or leaking cylinder—can sap pressure, even without external leaks.

Pressure loss can seem abrupt, with slow or jerky movements disrupting operations. Air in the system, often from leaks, is a frequent cause. Start by checking fluid levels and looking for bubbles. If the problem persists, a pressure test may be necessary. For Kobelco cranes, verify that recent part replacements meet standards, as subpar parts can throw off pressure flow. A dependable crane parts supplier can provide Kobelco crane parts that get your crane back to full strength.

Keeping Issues at Bay


You don’t need a full-time mechanic to keep your hydraulic system in check—just a proactive approach. Regularly inspect fluid levels, scan for leaks, and heed odd noises or smells. Catching a small issue, like a loose fitting, is quick and cheap. Ignoring it can lead to costly repairs, like replacing a failed pump.

High-quality parts are essential. For Kobelco cranes, using cheap components invites trouble. A reputable crane parts supplier ensures you get reliable Kobelco crane parts, saving you from headaches and downtime.

Closing Thought


Hydraulic systems are tough but not indestructible. Leaks, overheating, and pressure loss are warning signs that need immediate attention. Left unchecked, they turn minor problems into major costs.

Stay vigilant with regular checks, quick action, and trusted Kobelco crane parts from a reliable crane parts supplier. This keeps your cranes—and your projects—moving forward smoothly.

⚡️ The Aerospace Forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announces to the dear Iranian people that moments ago, a new and decisive wave of missile attacks was launched as part of Operation "True Promise 3," more powerful and impactful than its predecessors.

These precision strikes targeted the command and control systems of the oppressive Zionist entity, utilizing advanced operational methods supported by sophisticated intelligence and armament capabilities, enhanced by the blood of martyred leaders: Bagheri, Salami, Hajizadeh, and other aerospace heroes.

This technical superiority led to the disruption of the enemy's multi-layered defense systems, to the extent that some of its Patriot and defensive systems targeted each other, resulting in a major breach of the Zionist defense system, despite its full support from the United States and Western countries and their provision of the latest technologies.

Today, the prophecy of the martyred leaders has been fulfilled, who repeatedly affirmed that Operation "True Promise 3" and subsequent operations would be more painful, more accurate in targeting, and greater in impact than any previous operation.

This operation has also proven the falsity of Zionist and American enemy assessments, and clearly demonstrated the depth of intelligence and strategic failure in their calculations regarding the Islamic Republic. Today, we are witnessing the beginning of the collapse of the Zionist occupation entity.

We direct a clear message to the supporters of this criminal entity: precise and effective strikes will continue relentlessly until the elimination and complete disappearance of this artificial entity.

Indigenous scholar Tyson Yunkaporta on gut knowing and brain knowing: "The gut governs terrestrial relations and is in constant communication with land and all our human and nonhuman kin. The head follows slower signals and cannot pivot in ways that are informed by complexity, so the mind can manifest as a top-down governance relation when it is not used in concert with the gut. When a person’s head is in the clouds, carrying or longing for unearned power and privilege, their gut is out of right relation, which may result in a series of cascading failures that affect all the systems and beings around them. Executive function should always be signed off by the gut before any action is taken, if these consequences are to be avoided. Your gut might pick up the subtle informatics of a car salesman weirdly staring at your kids while you’re distracted and checking under the hood—so your head may be telling you it’s a good deal, but your gut is telling you not to trust this creep." - emergencemagazine.org/essay/fi…

I was just talking with @saltphoenix about how much I value the Hawaiian concept na'au, which refers to gut knowing.

I like to think that my gut knowing game is pretty strong, and when working correctly, it leads me in the right direction.

I also like what Dr. Yunkaporta has to say about gut knowing governing everything to do with the land. The longer I live with the land, the more in tune I feel with it, and the better my intuition gets (specifically intuition for land stuff, not in general).

He's right that it operates faster than brain thinking and that it's able to work on incomplete data (the dynamics of the land and ocean and sky are so complicated that you're basically always working with incomplete data when making decisions about how to relate to the land).

Anyway, the article is written in quite fancy language, but the ideas are solid.

If I had to guess the primary ancestry of Ashkenazi Jews on average is from Germany, Poland and the Soviet Union where most of them primarily came from

In much smaller amounts than the Syrian Palestinians they might have some ancestry from the middle East near Israel including ancestry from the countries that were enemies of ancient Israel

If you take a weighted average of the locations of their ancestors you might end up with Ashkenaz in Turkey not in Israel

I've been doing amazing stuff in FreeCAD. It has a lot of power that lets me do things I never thought I would be able to do. It's also riddled with bugs that will make you want to throw your computer out the window.

My success with FreeCAD comes from extremely strict version control and years of use. I've learned to live with a few specific bugs. For example, external geometry doesn't work and hasn't for 14 months. Don't believe the forum when they say it works. It does not. In any given sketch, you will be able to make is 0 or 1 external link work properly without breaking your drawing. If you have more than one external link, even if you aren't using any of them, it will give you a "wire not closed" error when trying to pad or pocket.

Oddly, the subshape binder works perfectly and it is the illegitimate brother of external links. It even uses the external link tool to define import links from the binder object. Using a master sketch and the subshape binder is absolutely brilliant and wildly productive.

It comes down to having several tools to do any given thing but only one or two may be working.

There is a decent architectural plug-in for FreeCAD. I think Yorik wrote it, some time ago, but it's brilliant. I've used it for doing exactly what you describe on several house projects and it's helped quite a bit with renovations.

SweetHome3d is also a decent app but extremely primative and it's not going to create professional looking blueprints for anyone. It's really just a toy but can be extremely useful for mocking up a design or room layout. I have used it for years with great benefit. It's simple, quite powerful, and a brilliant visualization tool.

Honestly, if you want to create real blueprints to give to a builder, you're going to need Windows or OSX and one of a handful of applications, preeminently AutoDesk REVIT. REVIT is probably over specified for your purpose but it's the adult table. At least know it's there if you find linux apps have too many shortcomings.

Look at QCad. They have a paid ($40), and a free version that is fully functional and open source. It's the most autocad-like app out there, so learning that has the advantage of learning the UI of autocad too.

LibreCad that others suggested was forked from Qcad about 15 years ago and hasn't moved much in terms of features. While QCad has. So in my opinion, it's the best solution.

Then there's Freecad, but that's more about 3D cad, and it's more complicated overall.

WAYLAND: what is it, and is it ready for daily use?

Try Kernelcare Enterprise for free: lp.kernelcare.com/kernelcare-e…

Probably everyone that is interested in the Linux desktop has heard about Wayland. It's the next big thing, the replacement for X.org, a solution to a lot of woes in terms of performance and graphics on Linux. And still, it has failed to materialize, over and over, and is still not the default on many big distributions, like Ubuntu, or Linux Mint. Let's see what Wayland is, and how ready it is, right after this!

Wayland is, in itself, just a protocol. It's not a program, or a replacement for the old X.org display server. This protocol has to be implemented by a compositor, which will display the application's content on the user's screen.

Currently, a lot of distributions use X.org, the very old display server that has served us pretty well for ages. The goal of wayland is to put this old beast to pasture, but for what benefits ?

First, let's take a look at how X.org works. This old thing, dating back to 1987, the blessed year of my birth, by the way, is a multi-layered process:
First, you have your display server, or the X server. It's the central platform to communicate with the clients, like the applications you're using, and the compositor, which displays the windows for these apps themselves. This server is interacting with clients, which are basically your applications, but also with a compositor, which is your window manager, like Kwin on KDE, or Mutter on GNOME.

It's a sturdy process, but it introduces a lot of delay, with some back and forth betwen the server, the compositor, and the application itself.

Wayland has a simpler model, because in Wayland, the compositor IS the server as well.
This means that, in our example, the application opens, tells the compositor that it wants a window, and the compositor gets all the details from the app in one go, decides what to do with the window, and tells the app to draw itself. Yep, on Wayland, the applications also have to do their own rendering on the screen: they manage their own titlebars, their own drop shadows, everything.

This is why you can't just switch GNOME or KDE from X.org to Wayland: the pieces that compose the desktop environment don't play the exact same role on both solutions. On Wayland, the compositor doesn't draw the windows, the app themselves do, so you have to update the window managers to become compositors that don't do any drawing, and you have to update the toolkits, GTK and Qt, to let them draw stuff themselves.

Then there's the issue of the graphics drivers: the Nvidia drivers, the open source AMD or Intel drivers, these were written to send information back and forth with X.org, not with a wayland compositor.

So they also have to be updated to work with that new model. This is already the case, as the open source Mesa drivers, which cover AMD and Intel, already support wayland using a solution called GBM. Nvidia, on the other hand, decided that they had a more efficient solution called EGL, which has to be supported separately by the wayland compositors.

Since Nvidia doesn't seem to be willing to update their driver to use GBM, for nvidia drivers to work with wayland, desktop environments have to also support EGL, which is an extra burden, and also explains why Nvidia drivers are hit or miss when using Wayland.

So, where is Wayland? Well, it's already very well supported:
- GNOME supports Wayland, with Mutter, its window manager and compositor
- KDE supports Wayland as well, with Kwin
- Both GTK 3.20 and QT 5 support wayland out of the box

In terms of distros, Fedora already uses Wayland as the default, if the drivers permit it, and has been since 2016. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 also uses Wayland as the default, and Debian does so as well, for their GNOME sessions. Manjaro also defaults to wayland for the GNOME sessions, if the drivers allow it.

Some programs that were made specifically to work with X.org don't work on wayland-based systems, especially games.

For that use case, Wayland developers have a solution: as wine or proton expects to run in an X Server, Wayland provides the ability to run such a server inside of Wayland, as a client, this is called Xwayland.

The performance of Xwayland, however, seems on par with just running a game on X.org, as demonstrated by Phoronix early this year:

Was there another time in history when a bunch of genocidal racists got to lecture everyone else about what counts as racism? #Israel #Netanyahu #JewishHitler #warcriminal #Zionazis #Jewishterrorists #psychopaths #hasbara #OccupiedWestBank #Gaza #Palestine #genocide #CrimesAgainstHumanity #USA jonathancook.substack.com/p/gr…

Greta Thunberg tried to shame western leaders - and found they have no shame

Israel is completing its genocide. Keir Starmer says the aid blockade is 'intolerable'. And yet day after day he tolerates Israel’s bombs, gunfire and mass starvation campaign

This is a #FediHire post, but it's not about technology, so I don't know how helpful the fediverse will be.

I have a PHD in math and nine years of experience teaching university students. I want to leave higher education and become a high school math teacher, but I am not certified.

I'm in the U.S. and have no easy way to leave. I also can't go four years without an income or health insurance.

What states would be the easiest for me to get at least provisionally certified to teach in?

Also keep in mind that I'm trans, so I am only willing to move to a state where it's legal for me to interact with teenagers and get health care.

A couple of things about these claims circulating that the 2024 election was "rigged":

1. The supposed "proof" is essentially the same nonsensical statistical gobbledygook that the MAGA people were claiming about 2020, with the parties reversed.

2. There is no legal mechanism to "recount" an election after the results are certified. None. The ship has sailed.

3. SHOCKINGLY, they need funds to continue their "work"

4. Nope, not linking to it. Not giving them oxygen.

Sort of like, it's fine to seek the truth, but the truth now isn't going to deliver the promise being made when asking you to donate money to assist in uncovering the truth.

I understand that finding the truth now won't overturn the certified election. But, *IF* there did end up being proof of actual vote manipulation, the individuals that did so could still be held accountable at least right?

@finner @evan Go for it. But understand a few things:

- the supposed "smoking guns" indicating fraud in 2024, like those put forward in 2020, aren't really anything.

- elections are ultimately human endeavors, run by fallible people, and small but inconsequential "irregularities" are normal and expected. But it's often very easy to make them seem much more sinister and significant than they are.

- versions of almost everything claimed about 2024 were claimed by the MAGA people in 2020.

@DrChris ⚔️ It is not unrelated, China retaliates against tariffs placed on it in part because of fentynal manufacturer and importation into the US, by buying oil from Iran and so there is a financial interest to cut-off that source. The trade imbalance certainly impacts our financial well being and hence the affordability of housing and everything else. So yes there is a relationship there. The truth of the matter EVERYTHING and EVERYONE are inter-related to some degree.

To write is to think. Using ChatGPT to write leads to..."cognitive debt", which might be one of the better euphemism for somewhat less polite words.
