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.

Hello Wisdom Collective. I may have a cavity and/orinfection where I had a root canal and I am a bit concerned as I once had very bad reaction after some dental work (different occasions). I was so sore all over my body after that I could barely walk/lift my arms and some other issues, including vertigo (it was bad , better now but not really gone away 100 percent) and a weird episode - not directly after but soon after that might have been a mini stroke. right now (for a few days) Im having mild pain in my upper left chest that comes and goes (not other symptoms) - following some bronchitis. I'm not against going to a doctor and likely will if the heart "pain" doesn't go away soon, but I have to be cautious with money right now (I have a high deductible) and the dental thing is going to be $$$$. Anyhow... Im working on my Diest and exercise and all the stuff, but would love to see if anyone has ideas for inflammation and possibly bacterial issue . Besides the $ - more important- I want to feel the best I can. Love to hear your thoughts as how I can just reduce inflamation and boost my immune system before this procedure.
— a naturopath friend recently recommended this tincture and I’ve found it quite effective the last few months to help clear both cold and allergy symptoms.
My understanding with herbs like this is to only take them for a few weeks, then stop for at least that much time, in order to maintain maximum effectiveness.

Lenin: For socialism is merely the next step forward from state-capitalist monopoly. Or, in other words, socialism is merely state-capitalist monopoly which is made to serve the interests of the whole people and has to that extent ceased to be capitalist monopoly. There is no middle course here. The objective process of development is such that it is impossible to advance from monopolies (and the war has magnified their number, role and importance tenfold) without advancing towards socialism. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

As the global demand for energy surges and concerns over fossil fuel depletion grow, alternative energy solutions are no longer a luxury—they are a necessity. One such emerging solution is pyrolysis oil, a synthetic fuel derived from waste materials like plastics, used tires, and oil sludge. Far from being just a waste management technique, pyrolysis offers a compelling answer to both environmental pollution and energy insecurity.
What Is Pyrolysis Oil? Pyrolysis oil, also known as bio-crude or synthetic oil, is produced through a process called pyrolysis—thermal decomposition of organic materials at high temperatures in the absence of oxygen. This method breaks down long-chain polymers in plastics, rubber, and hydrocarbons found in oil sludge into smaller, energy-rich molecules. The end product is a dark, viscous liquid that can be refined into fuels like diesel, gasoline, or even used directly in industrial burners.
Waste-to-Energy: A Dual-Benefit Approach One of the most compelling aspects of pyrolysis oil from plastic or tire pyrolysis machine is its dual impact:
Waste Reduction: Mountains of non-biodegradable plastic, millions of scrap tires, and toxic oil sludge are growing concerns for urban environments and ecosystems. Pyrolysis not only diverts these materials from landfills and incinerators but repurposes them into something valuable.
Energy Recovery: Instead of letting energy-rich waste decompose or pollute the environment, pyrolysis captures their embedded energy. A single ton of plastic waste, for example, can yield roughly 700–900 liters of oil.
Role in Alleviating the Energy Crisis Pyrolysis oil can play a crucial role in easing the global energy crunch in several ways:
Alternative to Crude Oil: As a substitute for diesel or heavy fuel oil, pyrolysis oil can power generators, industrial machinery, and even vehicles after proper refinement.
Decentralized Energy Production: Small-scale pyrolysis units can be established near waste sources, reducing transportation costs and supporting energy generation in remote or underdeveloped areas.
Energy Security: Countries that lack natural fossil fuel reserves can reduce dependence on imports by tapping into their own waste resources, promoting energy independence.
Environmental and Economic Upsides Beyond energy production, pyrolysis oil offers other strategic benefits:
Lower Carbon Footprint: While not entirely carbon-neutral, pyrolysis oil emits fewer greenhouse gases compared to traditional fossil fuels, especially if produced using renewable energy sources.
Job Creation and Local Economies: Establishing pyrolysis plants supports green job creation in engineering, operations, logistics, and environmental management.
Scalability and Flexibility: From large municipal setups to mobile containerized units, pyrolysis technology can scale according to the volume of available waste.
Conclusion Pyrolysis oil represents a powerful synergy between waste management and energy generation. By transforming plastic, tires, and oil sludge from environmental liabilities into energy assets, we not only reduce pollution but also gain a new tool in the fight against the energy crisis. It’s not a silver

For some reason Calibre won't let me do anything because "drive is full" which I assume has to do with this.
Update: I believe I "fixed" the error with Calibre by using FlatSeal to add environment variable CALIBRE_TEMP_DIR that changes the Temp directory to something else.
How'd it get full then? And if it's supposed to be 100%, any ideas on how can I get Calibre (so far the only app I've noticed that is giving trouble) to ignore it?

May 15, 2025 @ 20:57 Good evening family & friends❣️ I guess the day got away from me, I'm not sure how and don't remember much about my afternoon once we got home, but I realized just after 20:00 that I hadn't yet posted my 2 posts for today even though I had been operating under the assumption all day that I had...SHEESH!!! So I got those finished up and now here I am - with or without my brain, I'm not sure at the moment hahaha! It was quite hot today, I am still learning how to keep this house cool (since we moved in in late Oct last year); today was my best test so far. I'm sure the new curtains to diffuse the morning sun through the kitchen window helped, and we kept the south-facing back door closed also. Once we had some shade at the front of the house (north) I opened the living room window a few inches and put the fan in front of it to pull that shade-cooled air in; I had the fan aimed up toward the kitchen ceiling. Anyway, it worked quite well! Tonight we are expecting some severe storms with tornado risks so I will probably stay up late to keep an eye on the Michigan Storm Chasers who are now reporting that these storms are starting to reach land from Lake Michigan; it will take a couple of hours to cross the state and reach us, I think. So I will see you guys in the morning, Lord willing...sleep well❣️🙏🥱🌛💤

welp i took a diversion tonight and installed some better lighting in my abrasive blasting cabinet.
what i can say about harbor freight tools is that they're good for people who don't value their time. most of their tools require some tweaks or improvements to be actually usable.
their blasting cabinet is one of the all time worst designed pieces of equipment i have ever encountered. just the way you have to put it together with a zillion tiny nuts and bolts, truly they hate their customers.
if you ever have to assemble one (or disassemble parts to upgrade their shitty lighting) you'll be cursing them
i am getting ready to sandblast this acura steering knuckle casting and decided i couldn't deal with the weak little fluorescent lamp in there so i put some LED strips in there instead.
if you have one of their blasting cabinets, you'll want to do that, and also install a bottom siphon feed tube instead of their dumb little pickup tube. after those 2 mods it becomes actually usable
i think at the time i bought the thing i was on a budget and it's served its purpose. it's just generally unpleasant to use so for anything more than occasional use, just get something better
Reason why I focus on Jewish culpability for Palestinian genocide(rather than abstract "Zionist" culpability), is not because I want to feel morally righteous(I am flawed⇒I cant be morally righteous), but because without honest accounting for massive crimes like Genocide & deflecting accountability by playing "antisemitism" definitional games, we allow similar/worse crimes more likely to happen in the future
