Undocumented Farm Workers Pose a Conundrum for Trump’s Mass Deportation Campaign
counterpunch.org/2025/07/18/un…

"The nation’s 2.6 million-plus farm workers – an estimated 1 million of them foreign-born– are a natural target of Donald Trump’s ever-escalating mass deportation campaign. About 45% of the total workforce is estimated to be in the country illegally, and their presence laboring openly in fruit

Despite their confident exterior, narcissists intensely avoid anonymous feedback. Why? Because direct, face-to-face criticism offers them a strategic edge: they can manipulate your reaction, derail the conversation, or twist things into a personal attack — sparking empathy and shifting the dialogue in their favor. 🎭 Understanding this can help you stay grounded and protect your emotional boundaries in tough encounters. #NarcissisticPersonalityDisorder #HealthyBoundaries #PsychologyInsights

THIS IS MASSIVE - Russian Gold Breaks Free from London‼️

Russia is about to launch its own gold trading platform, completely independent of the London Stock Exchange and the LBMA — effectively severing its gold pricing from the Western financial cartel. This is a direct shot at the heart of the global financial order!

London isn’t just a city, it’s the epicenter of a centuries-old empire of control: the City of London Corporation, a private square mile immune to UK law, run by a cabal of unelected financiers, bankers, and globalist institutions. For over 300 years, the Rothschild banking dynasty and their successors have pulled levers from the shadows, using gold, credit, and war as tools of subjugation.

What Russia is doing is not simply economic. It’s symbolic and strategic; a declaration that the game is changing. That the era of pricing the world’s wealth through manipulated Western exchanges is over. That the old gods, the ones who turned debt into dominion, no longer have the final word.

If successful, this new exchange could:
• Expose the paper gold fraud propping up London and Wall Street
• Spark a shift toward physical gold-based trade between Eastern nations
• Undermine the petrodollar-finance complex and its illusion of value
• Strip the City of London of one of its deepest tools of control

This isn’t just about Russia, this is a fracture in the architecture of globalist power, and when gold breaks free… other nations will follow.

We get "motherhood" all wrong. It isn't really a thing.

Human history...pre-history: As best we can tell, as it is all a guessing game, humans are about 200k yrs old. And the vast, vast majority of that time was spent living in smallish hunter gatherer tribes. Civilization began about 10k yrs ago, probably, but that varied by place. Of course some people's still live in those small tribes. So we can look to what happens there to form ideas about our instincts. In those tribes "motherhood" isn't a thing like it is in our world. I've read a number of studies on this one, it's fascinating! One study showed that a new born baby is held on average by 14 different people a day. Mothers take a few weeks to recover, and they stay very close to their baby nursing, etc, but they really don't do much "mothering". Small children are cared for communally and once they are old enough to run around, they join their local kids play group. The mothers stay physically close to their kids, but are engaged in their own crafts for most of the day while conversing with other adults. This is what our instincts are build for.

Having been through this myself, I can't tell you wave of relief that hit me when I learned this, it was an "O, that's why it was so hard. I was never meant to do it that way!" The way we do "motherhood" now, with one woman alone in a house with multiple kids all day playing patty cake is unnatural to the point of being really destructive.

Christmas 2006 was the first year I actually considered getting a "Big Flat Screen" TV. I ended up getting a Vizio GV42LF LCD with an LG S-PVA LCD panel in 2008 for $800 onsale during School Tax Holiday (normally $1200). Took me a year to understand the market.

By 2006 Panasonic was a leader in the plasma display tech. I remember drooling over their professional models which lacked speakers and tuners...and could be scored for less money.

Panasonic also made a 37" plasma which was smaller than the typical 42". Plasma tech was more difficult to miniaturize, than LCD and more costly to make smaller with high resolution.

Function of a Fin Press Machine

Fin press machines play a crucial role in the manufacturing of heat exchangers and similar equipment. They are designed to produce precision-formed metal fins that enhance heat transfer by increasing surface area. These fins are widely used in radiators, air conditioners, condensers, and evaporators, making fin press machine essential in the HVAC and automotive industries.

Function of a Fin Press Machine
The primary function of a fin press machine is to punch, form, and cut metal strips into intricate fin shapes. These machines are typically fed with coiled metal, which is gradually unrolled and fed through a die system. The die cuts and forms the metal into fins with consistent accuracy and spacing. The press may also include features for lubrication, stacking, and collecting finished fins for further assembly.

Modern fin press machines are highly automated, allowing for high-speed operation while maintaining tight tolerances. They can be adjusted to produce a wide variety of fin patterns, depending on the desired application.

Applications
Fin press machines are most commonly used in industries where thermal management is critical. Key applications include:

HVAC systems, such as air conditioners and heat pumps
Automotive radiators and oil coolers
Refrigeration units and commercial freezers
Industrial heat exchangers
The flexibility of fin press machines allows manufacturers to create various fin profiles like louvered, wavy, and straight fins, depending on performance needs and design specifications.

Benefits
Using a fin press machine offers multiple advantages:

Precision and Consistency: Automated die systems ensure uniformity in fin shape and spacing.
Efficiency: High-speed operation boosts production output without sacrificing quality.
Customization: Dies can be changed to create different fin geometries for various heat exchanger designs.
Durability: Built for industrial use, these machines are designed to withstand long production runs with minimal maintenance.
For companies involved in the production of heating and cooling components, investing in a reliable fin press machine can significantly enhance productivity and product performance.

Conclusion
Fin press machines are a cornerstone of modern thermal management manufacturing. Their ability to produce complex, high-precision fins quickly and consistently makes them indispensable in a variety of industries. Whether for automotive radiators or industrial heat exchangers, these machines contribute to more efficient and effective thermal systems.

In other labor sectors, worksite raids sparked massive outpourings of solidarity and creative resistance, including “Adopt a Day Laborer” campaigns and street vendor buyouts. But sex workers are left to fend for themselves.

“Our undocumented sex worker fam are terrorized and without resources,” wrote Cocoa Makati, coordinator of DecrimSexWorkCA. Sex work is migrant women’s day labor; massage parlors are their “Home Depot.”

<<Israel says it regrets deadly strike on Catholic Church in Gaza>>

Well, they definitely regret the backlash, but do they really regret the strike itself.... I'm somewhat sceptical

There is a long term goal to move the age of voting closer to zero and the age of consent closer to infinity

Granting all the power to vote but none of the power to consent to the consequences of the vote

It is imperative that public school teachers who are government employees tell the kids how to vote and let them vote in Presidential elections before they leave school so that the parents can not talk to them and get them to change their mind about how to vote

vote to pay teachers more

@Zergling_man

Brainwashing research involved prisoners of war who were forced to do and say things at gunpoint and generally the effect no longer works after the prisoner realizes they said what they said because they were held at gun point but they are no longer held at gun point so they do not need to behave that way anymore

But a cult can implant a fear of something imaginary like that Anarchy would lead to some sort of disaster

So now they obey at all times because they fear anarchy

Continuous Pyrolysis: A Technological Imperative for Waste-to-Value Operations

In an era defined by resource scarcity and environmental exigencies, continuous pyrolysis technology offers a resilient, high-throughput alternative to traditional waste conversion. Unlike batch systems, which demand routine halts for loading, unloading, and reactor cooldown, the continuous process sustains thermal decomposition without interruption. For large-scale applications, particularly involving waste plastic, rubber, or biomass, this represents a critical leap in operational efficiency.

Seamless Processing with Elevated Throughput


A continuous pyrolysis plant operates on the principle of steady-state thermolysis. Waste material is metered into a high-temperature reactor, where it undergoes endothermic cracking in an oxygen-deprived environment. By eliminating the downtime intrinsic to batch-type systems, these facilities can operate 24/7 with minimal human intervention. The result is a significant uplift in daily feedstock throughput — often exceeding 20–30 tonnes per day depending on configuration.

Feedstock variability no longer presents a bottleneck. Advanced feeding mechanisms, such as screw conveyors and hydraulic pushers, regulate flow consistency. Temperature is controlled in real time, often through zoned heating systems integrated with thermocouples and PLC logic. This automated precision mitigates risk while maximizing yield.

Enhanced Energy Integration


Thermal integration plays a central role in optimizing energy balance. Modern pyrolysis plant architecture typically recovers high-calorific-value syngas from the reactor, redirecting it to the burner system. This feedback loop minimizes the reliance on external fuels and enables a semi-autonomous thermal environment.

In advanced designs, excess heat is repurposed for preheating feedstock or for drying high-moisture materials such as sludge or biomass. This cascaded energy reuse not only lowers operational cost but also minimizes thermal emissions, aligning with global directives on sustainable manufacturing practices.

Modular Design for Scalability


Another strength of continuous pyrolysis lies in its modular engineering. A multi-reactor configuration enables incremental capacity expansion without major retrofitting. For operators managing multi-type waste streams — for example, plastic during the day and tire at night — the plant can accommodate flexible processing cycles with minor calibration.

Auxiliary systems such as oil-gas separators, condensers, and hydrosealing units are also modular. This design ethos streamlines maintenance and allows for parallel processing if needed. Future upgrades, including carbon capture modules or catalytic upgrading columns, can be seamlessly integrated.

Superior Safety Architecture


Safety is inherently more robust in continuous units. These systems typically feature explosion-relief valves, negative pressure zones, automatic flame arresters, and enclosed condensation loops. The avoidance of sudden reactor exposure — a routine hazard in batch operations — significantly reduces the likelihood of thermal runaway, gas leakage, or fire.

Moreover, exhaust gas is treated through multistage purification: cyclone separation, scrubbers, and activated carbon filtration. Compliance with environmental standards such as EU Industrial Emissions Directive or China’s GB31572 is achievable with ease.

Economic and Regulatory Alignment


Global pressure to eliminate landfill dependency and enforce extended producer responsibility (EPR) schemes has fueled demand for high-efficiency pyrolysis systems. Continuous technology aligns with these mandates by offering a commercially viable pathway to transform non-recyclable waste into synthetic fuels and recoverable carbonaceous material.

A continuous pyrolysis plant facilitates predictable output, simplified logistics, and consistent product quality — traits necessary to attract downstream buyers of pyrolysis oil or char. Carbon offset potential, especially in co-processing biomass, further strengthens the plant’s value proposition within voluntary and compliance carbon markets.

A Future-Proof Waste Valorization Platform


Continuous pyrolysis is not merely an enhancement; it is an inflection point in the waste-to-energy paradigm. It bridges the gap between pilot-scale sustainability initiatives and large-scale industrial transformation. The ability to operate efficiently, adapt to feedstock flux, and integrate with circular economy principles marks it as the technology of the future — not just in theory, but in practical, bankable infrastructure.

As regulatory pressure intensifies and resource economics shift, the continuous pyrolysis plant offers an unmatched blueprint for scalable, safe, and sustainable waste management.
