The Construction of the Jewish Myth – Part 3 en.reseauinternational.net/la-…

每次我吃完饭,她都会很乖的跑去沙发上坐着。等我吃完了,喂她吃狗狗专门吃的小零食

但是我爸吃饭,她就会待在我爸脚边,因为我爸会时不时的给她吃菜。这个时候,任何靠近那边的人,都会被狗狗吼叫

呵呵

但是在我和我爸一起吃晚饭的时候,狗狗是看我眼色,会乖乖的待在沙发上等我吃完。

我爸最近买了电击项圈

因为狗狗最近叫的太过厉害,担心影响周围邻居

我妈:谁叫她这么爱叫,这也是没有办法的事

我:呵呵 我看是你们要戴一戴,该电击的是你们。她也不是一开始就这样的,完完全全是你们把她规矩做坏的。她也是倒霉了碰到你们,好好的不声不响的狗狗,现在变“疯狗”。你们当心她接受不了电击项圈到时候咬你们。

Buying a Self-Loading Mixer in Nigeria? Price Comparison for Road, Housing & Rural Projects


Buying a self-loading mixer in Nigeria presents an intriguing opportunity for contractors working across diverse sectors such as road construction, housing developments, and rural infrastructure projects. The versatility of these self loading cement mixer machines makes them indispensable in environments where efficiency, mobility, and resource optimization are paramount. However, discerning buyers must navigate a complex landscape of pricing, specifications, and suitability to maximize their investment. Understanding how prices vary across applications can be the key to unlocking both operational success and financial prudence.

Price Dynamics Across Project Types


Self-loading mixers are tailored to meet the demands of different construction environments, and this directly impacts their cost. For road construction projects, durability and continuous operation are vital. Machines designed for this purpose often come equipped with reinforced chassis, larger drum capacities, and advanced hydraulic systems to withstand the rigors of heavy-duty paving work. Consequently, prices in this category tend to hover at the upper end of the scale, ranging approximately from ₦25 million to ₦40 million, depending on brand and features.

In contrast, housing projects generally require mixers that balance capacity with maneuverability, as urban sites can be congested and space-restricted. Mid-range self loading concrete mixer for sale in Nigeria, often priced between ₦18 million and ₦30 million, strike this balance, delivering sufficient volume for foundation pours and structural elements while retaining agility on tighter sites. Buyers should prioritize features like precise mixing controls and ease of maintenance, which enhance project timelines and reduce downtime.

Meanwhile, rural projects necessitate machines that can operate under less predictable conditions. Terrain challenges and limited access to technical support mean robustness and simplicity are paramount. These mixers often feature rugged frames, simplified control systems, and smaller drum sizes to facilitate transport and versatility. As a result, their price tags tend to be lower, typically within ₦15 million to ₦22 million, making them attractive for budget-conscious operations that prioritize reliability over sophistication.

Evaluating Cost vs. Value


Price alone is a poor indicator of the best purchase decision. The total cost of ownership incorporates operational efficiency, maintenance frequency, fuel consumption, and spare parts availability. For instance, a more expensive mixer equipped with an advanced engine and hydraulic system can deliver significant fuel savings and less downtime, ultimately reducing cost per cubic meter of concrete produced.

Buyers must also consider warranty terms and after-sales support. Nigerian infrastructure often poses harsh conditions; therefore, access to responsive technical service and readily available components can save both time and money. Investing in a reputable brand with established local service centers frequently results in lower lifetime costs despite a higher initial outlay.

Furthermore, adaptability matters. Machines offering adjustable drum speeds, integrated water tanks, and precision batching technology enhance consistency and reduce waste—benefits that translate into improved project quality and cost control.

Strategic Tips for Nigerian Buyers


To navigate the pricing labyrinth, contractors should first identify their core project needs with surgical precision. Matching the mixer’s capacity, power, and features to the specific requirements of the job prevents overpaying for unnecessary capabilities or suffering from underperformance.

Engaging with multiple suppliers is crucial to gain a transparent pricing spectrum. Negotiations can often yield bundled deals including training, spare parts kits, or extended warranties. Additionally, scrutinizing imported versus locally assembled options offers insights into cost savings and logistical convenience.

Finally, examining financing options—such as lease-to-own schemes or government-supported agricultural and infrastructure funds—can ease upfront financial burdens, enabling acquisition without compromising cash flow.


Purchasing a self-loading concrete mixer in Nigeria is a strategic decision shaped by the nuances of project type, operational demands, and financial planning. Understanding the price variations and aligning them with project priorities empowers buyers to make authoritative choices that drive productivity and profitability. In this evolving market, informed investment is the foundation upon which successful construction ventures are built.

Võ Nguyên Giáp: They mounted nearly 100,000 strikes against our beloved North Viet Nam, using more than one million tons of bombs and shells. They tried all kinds of hardware in their arsenal such as bombs and shells, rockets, steel-pellet bombs, napalm and magnetic bombs, and all the other most up-to-date and murderous weapons at their disposal short of nuclear ones. The U.S. imperialists thought that with their modern air and naval forces and the huge amount of bombs and shells which they believed nothing would resist, they could easily achieve their strategic objectives and finally subdue our people and bring to fruition their scheme of neo-colonialist aggression. But they were grossly mistaken. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

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.

I can't fathom how during his term as. President, why the fuck didn't he have full medicals done, periodically.

I think Trump held himself high when he expressed his hope he gets better soon.

Then I thought to myself, would Biden do the same if it were Trump diagnosed?

I hugely doubt he would.

That's the difference between the two. Trump is genuinely a decent bloke, sure he's a hypercapitalist so what. He means good!

It turns out that to plan a garden, you have to think in 4D: not just how much space the plants take up and how tall they'll get, but how they'll grow over time. And it's not so straightforward because they affect each others' growth: plants in the shade of other plants will grow differently than if they're in the sun, etc. Vining plants can crowd out and stifle other plants. And some plants improve soil quality around themselves, so they can boost the growth of their neighbors.

Ultimately you're making a home for a bunch of living beings who don't move by getting up and walking, but by creating more of their own bodies in the direction of the resources they need.

Maybe I've been sitting in the forest too long, but gardening remains fascinating to me.

Federated Services

Federated Services are services which many instances form a network to provide a greater whole than the sum of their parts, each participant in the Fediverse is an “instance”. A message or other item made available on one instance is visible and available on other instances.

We make these services available to all people who do not abuse it in order to promote the values of Free Speech, and those of the United States Constitution First Amendment. A free republic is not possible without free speech and commercial mainstream media do not provide it. We also get some advertisement benefit from hosting these, it is our hope that people who see how fast and responsible our services are will decide to do hosting or use other paid services here.

There are numerous federated services available, we offer Macrobloging platform Friendica, Hubzilla; Microbloging services Mastodon, Misskey, a federated search engine, Yacy, and a federated cloud service, Nextcloud.

Macrobloging services are message systems that allow long form posts similar in format to Facebook. These allow for works of fiction, poetry, technical papers, news items, short stories, and more. These formats are most useful for discussion of social issues.

Microbloging services allow only short form posts similar in format to Twitter. While you can link to larger articles elsewhere, you have a relatively short character limit and so can not post them directly.

Censorship, is handled much different on the fediverse than on mainstream media like Twitter or Facebook. On the fediverse, each individual instance is responsible for content available on that instance, but does not censor the rest of the network. Thus if you find the rules of one instance too constraining you can move to another.

Federated search engines are analogous to federated message systems in that each instance chooses what portion of the internet it wants to crawl. When you enter a search term, the local instance queries all of the federated instances, collates and sorts the results and presents them to you. As with messages, each instance can have it’s own censorship policies but no one instance can censor the entire network.

Given the wild-west nature of the fediverse, it is probably not suitable for children under 14, and you’re guaranteed to find some material that will offend virtually everyone. With federated search engines, material that is inappropriate will usually be flagged sensitive or nsfw (not safe for work) so as long as you don’t expand material marked as such, you can avoid this sort of material. There are occasionally people who violate these rules, we do our best to remove such individuals none the less some will get through.

We offer the following federated services:

Friendica.Eskimo.Com
Friendica is a decentralized long format macrobloging message network. It is similar in format to facebook however there is no centralized censorship. Also, it is able to federate with all other federated message systems which use ActivityPub protocol and also we have extensions that allow it to speak to several other networks via other protocols.

Hubzilla.Eskimo.Com
Hubzilla is similar in message format to Friendica in that it allows long posts. However, it specializes in it’s ability to provide connectivity to multiple protocols and so we include it in our mix of federated services primarily for the better connectivity it offers. Hubzilla provides a great deal of interoperability between many networks though ActivityPub is still it’s primary protocol. Hubzilla gives you a greater degree of control over privacy than some of the other networks. You can create private channels that are served between hubzilla instances and other compatible instances.

Mastodon.Eskimo.Com
Mastodon is first and foremost an alternative to Twitter. While Twitter has Tweets, Mastodon has Toots. The format is very similar. Mastodon toots have a limit of 500 characters. Similar to the short limit of Twitter. This is why this platform is referred to as a Microbloging format. Mastodon interacts with other ActivityPub instances however when a long form blog post from another instance arrives, you are only shown a short portion with a link to follow to see the full post on the originating site.

NextCloud.Eskimo.Com
If you are a customer of Eskimo North, your login credentials will work without a domain extension to access Nextcloud. If you are not a customer you can apply for a Nextcloud account using your choice of login and password, in this case the login should include your originating network. Some features require an Eskimo North shell account to take full advantage of.

Pixelfed.Eskimo.Com
Pixelfed is a federated pixel gallery. A place where you can share your photos to the widest audience possible, and you can view what others have shared. Instance is new as of April 6th, 2025.


Yacy.Eskimo.Com
Yacy is a federated search engine. There are several thousand instances on the Internet. Each instances crawls whatever portion of the web the administrator requested. It is also possible for the administrator of a site with relatively few resources to request a larger site to do crawls on their behalf. Unfortunately, it does not provide a method for an end user to initiate a crawl, but if you send e-mail to support@eskimo.com and request a crawl, we will initiate a crawl on your behalf.

Protecting Your Crane: How to Avoid Counterfeit Parts


Quality crane parts are essential, but fake components—often mimicking genuine ones—threaten operations with inferior materials and engineering. Here's how to identify counterfeits and ensure safety.

Crane reliability hinges on every component. A single counterfeit part can cause failures, downtime, or safety risks. Quality crane parts are essential, but fake components—often mimicking genuine ones—threaten operations with inferior materials and engineering.

Here's how to identify counterfeits and ensure safety.

1. Trust Your Supplier


Source parts from a reputable crane parts supplier with verified credentials and transparent operations.

Avoid:
- Suppliers lacking contact details
- Unprofessional websites
- Suspiciously low prices

Vet every crane parts supplier before purchasing.

2. Check Packaging


Quality crane parts come in branded, sealed packaging with accurate labels.

Inspect:
- Logos for consistency
- Labels for errors or missing numbers
- Barcodes or serial codes

Generic packaging signals a fake.

3. Assess Materials


Counterfeits often use substandard materials, noticeable in weight or finish.

Evaluate:
- Weight compared to genuine parts
- Surface for defects or rough edges
- Color or coating quality

Discrepancies indicate a problem.

4. Verify Markings


Quality crane parts have etched part numbers, logos, or codes.

Confirm:
- Correct part numbers
- Durable, etched markings
- No typos or font issues

Inconsistent markings suggest counterfeits.

5. Question Low Prices


Quality Manitowoc crane parts reflect their engineering. Deep discounts often mean fakes, risking costly failures.

6. Request Documentation


A reliable crane parts supplier provides OEM certifications, quality reports, and warranties.

Ask for:
- Authenticity proof
- Compliance documents
- Warranty terms

No documents? No trust.

7. Use Field Feedback


Operators may spot issues like poor fit or early failure.

Encourage:
- Reporting part anomalies
- Logging failures and sources
- Tracking supplier patterns

Feedback catches fakes early.

8. Commit to OEM


Non-OEM parts disrupt crane performance. Quality crane parts from OEM sources ensure reliability.

Conclusion


Counterfeit parts endanger cranes and crews. Partner with a trusted crane parts supplier, inspect rigorously, and prioritize quality crane parts to maintain safety and efficiency.

Quick Checklist:
✅ Source from verified suppliers
✅ Check packaging and markings
✅ Assess materials
✅ Avoid cheap deals
✅ Secure documentation
✅ Monitor feedback
✅ Use OEM parts

So many easy buyers.
Be different.
Stand apart with knowledge.
The lies are legion.
You must find truth on your own.
There is no other way.

每和XX出门,我都要回来吐槽

我也不想和任何其他朋友吐槽

还好我能在这里吐槽

和XX认识这么多年,我希望她能赶紧谈恋爱

想出门找搭子,可以多一个选项

这么多年了,我一到天热就会带好风扇。因为我怕热,我讨厌出汗

但很多次,xx都会开口要我的小风扇给她吹

我服了,你热你可以自己带啊!!!
小风扇这种东西,丰俭由人啊!!!

我因为担心耗电量,还不会调整到最大风

但xx每次给我调到最大

我担心电量不足,每次出门都会背2万毫安的充电宝

好在xx这两年终于能够自己去租充电宝了

因为和我出门多了,深刻的了解到我的电量不足恐惧症。
以及切切实实的,但凡是个电子产品到我手里走电量就是快的要命的事实

人无完人,xx是个好人

我就是忍不住吐槽这点

我真想下次和她出门,直接送她一个小电扇好了

但我担心这种“嘲讽”行为,太过直白

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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
