Dr Neal Curtis argues that we should avoid the neoliberal-inspired phrase of ‘taxing the rich’ and instead use ‘reclaim the wealth’. He points out the many social inequalities which exist in New Zealand.

"... the tax giveaway to landlords is estimated to cost the country $2.9 billion. To put this in perspective, that is more than the amount paid in Treaty settlements since 1985, which is about $2.7b. In other words, in one year, the current Government awarded landlords more money than has been paid out to Māori in 40 years as compensation for historical wrongs."

Let’s call ‘taxing the rich’ what it really is

Opinion from the University of Auckland: As society groans under the weight of wealth inequality, Dr Neal Curtis calls for a different slogan to ‘tax the rich’.

Hey y'all, I don't do this often, but I applied for a full time position at my store and if I got it it would change my life for the positive immensely. I showed my managers my application and everything before sending it in and I'm feeling good, but any extra reassurance is needed. I'm shaking, tearing and choking up. This would help me get further in this industry I actually like at a job I'm respected and valued at. If anyone could send any extra energy or thoughts or whatever I'd heavily appreciate it 💚

Do not let anyone get away with calling ICE “law enforcement.” That term is wrong. They are operating outside the law. They aren’t law •enforcement•; they’re law •circumvention•.

Say what you will about the police who supposedly maintain the rule of law (and I’m from Minneapolis, hoo boy could I say a lot), but keep this in mind:

The Trump administration is pumping up ICE to massive proportions and trying to give it absolute free reign because they find even the police — even the police! — too legally constrained for their purposes.

Lemme tell you something about YouTube, as a music streamer. Google is making bucks off pirated music. Whatever you think about piracy, doesn't matter: the question is, why is Google making money off of Joe Schmo's file-share of his favorite deep cut album? They have the technology to content ID music, right? So why aren't they sending that money where it belongs: into the hands of artists?

I don't mean to be reductionist about their concerns with our campaign. That's why they're to remain nameless. They had some legitimate concerns. But I believe their hang-ups were ultimately not in music workers' best interests and did not serve our immediate needs.

They said they couldn't sign on, which was a disappointment since they had had some repute, and then they said, "but we are still your allies in the fight for streaming justice."

Maybe that's why we need comrades, not just allies.

i like that ending quite a bit. comrades not allies. make coalitions where we can on specific issues.
i was chatting with my friend @resl a week or so ago about a similar situation. there's a huge disconnect between the general left and the tech-left. where the former often feels that the latter is barking up inconsequential trees no one cares about. maybe most people don't care, but inconsequential i do not think. tech is the primary economic driver in today's world. if our tech isn't left, the activism isn't (effectively) left. not to devalue the work they do, but i must ask... if your activism is really threatening the power structure, don't you think they would pull the plug?

@benda That's well said. I've been disturbed about that disconnect you describe, but it has been hard for me to articulate.

Seems more of us have started to get wise to it since we've become aware that Big Tech has their hands in Palestine. But I'm continually surprised by organizers (and friends and comrades) who still primarily use Meta for their organizing. Seems to me like it's shooting yourself in the foot, at best.

Also, hi @resl, nice to meet you. 😀

Safeguarding Crane Operations: A Guide to Brake Maintenance

Cranes are indispensable in the construction, shipping, and industrial sectors, performing heavy lifting with precision and power. However, when crane brakes fail, the potential for disaster is significant. Such failures can disrupt projects, increase costs, and, most critically, endanger lives. Understanding the reasons behind brake failures and implementing preventive measures is crucial to ensure safety and operational efficiency.

The Stealthy Threat: Wear and Tear


Imagine wearing the same pair of shoes for daily marathons. Over time, those shoes will wear out. Crane brakes face a similar challenge. Constant use leads to the gradual degradation of brake pads, cracking of linings, and warping of metal components. These issues often develop quietly, without immediate warning signs. Regular inspections are essential to identify and replace worn parts with quality crane parts before they become liabilities. A dependable crane parts supplier can provide the necessary components to maintain smooth operations.

Heat: The Unseen Adversary


Crane brakes endure significant heat, especially when handling heavy loads, rapid cycles, or steep inclines. This heat, generated by friction, can cause brake fade, reducing stopping power and potentially deforming components. Operators sometimes push cranes beyond their limits, resulting in overheating. To prevent heat-related failures, allow cranes to cool between lifts and consider upgrading to parts designed for higher temperatures. A knowledgeable crane parts supplier can recommend components with superior heat resistance.

Rust: The Persistent Problem


Cranes operate in harsh environments, often exposed to rain, snow, and salty air. These conditions promote rust, which can damage brake components. While surface rust may seem minor, it can infiltrate hydraulics or seize calipers, rendering brakes ineffective. Regular maintenance is essential to prevent rust-related issues. Keeping brakes clean and dry, and using protective coatings, can extend their lifespan. Investing in quality crane parts from a trusted supplier ensures durability and reliability.

Human Error: The Unpredictable Factor


Despite technological advancements, human error remains a significant risk. Operators may overload cranes, ignore warning signs, or lack proper training. These mistakes can lead to brake failures. For instance, a new operator eager to prove themselves might push the crane too hard, unaware of the consequences. Training is crucial to prevent such scenarios. Pairing skilled operators with top-quality components from a reputable crane parts supplier creates a safer work environment.

Proactive Prevention: A Cost-Effective Approach


Preventing crane brake failures requires diligence and foresight. Adhering to a strict maintenance schedule is vital. Regularly check brake pads, linings, and fluids to catch wear early. Investing in quality Grove crane parts is a wise decision, as they offer long-term reliability. A reputable crane parts supplier provides components tailored to your crane’s specifications, ensuring optimal performance. Upgrading to modern brake systems can also enhance durability and efficiency.

A Cautionary Tale from the Field


Consider a crew in Texas working on a major oil rig project. With a tight deadline, they noticed the crane brakes were squealing and slipping. The foreman decided to push through, hoping to finish the week without incident. Unfortunately, the brakes failed mid-lift, causing a load to crash into a stack of pipes. While no one was injured, the financial impact was significant, with costly repairs and a week of downtime. This incident underscores the importance of timely maintenance and using quality crane parts.

The Broader Implications of Brake Failures


Crane brake failures have far-reaching consequences. They can disrupt entire sites, incur significant repair costs, and undermine crew confidence. Most importantly, they pose serious safety risks. Ensuring reliable crane brakes is not just a technical necessity; it’s a commitment to safety and efficiency. Regular maintenance, careful operation, and the use of high-quality parts from a trusted crane parts supplier are essential strategies for preventing brake failures.

Conclusion: The Importance of Vigilance


Treat crane brakes with the respect they deserve. Regular maintenance, smart operation, and the use of the best available parts are key to preventing failures. Establish a strong relationship with a reliable crane parts supplier to ensure access to top-quality components. By prioritizing these measures, you can maintain safe and efficient crane operations, avoiding costly and potentially dangerous brake failures.

Just eliminated another part of my digital guitar recording chain: amp modeling. As someone who's really into tube amps I could never get friends with modeling. Sure there are great sounding plug-ins or products but for me the digital domain is more usable in the realm of effects. For amps, not so much.

The elimination consists of a fairly small box that sits between my amp speaker output and audio interface input.

The Two Notes sits on top of a London City DEA100, a Dutch amp from the beginning of the 1970s. This very early specimen has plexi front and back plates. It's almost a real plexi besides some oddities and slight changes. But I had this one modded to Marshall specs and modded the input resistors to Marshall specs myself. I also added an extra tonestack switch so I can switch between the stock "vintage" setting and a more modern setting.

More or less yeah. Though back around 2013 or so, I was somewhat pleasantly surprised by how they designed their Mac AIO desktops, they actually were somewhat repair tech friendly.

The front glass was magnetically attached, so it only took a suction cup or two to start disassembly, and basic screwdrivers to remove the screen and get access to the motherboard, hard drive, RAM, DVD drive, etc.

And yes you could replace or upgrade parts as necessary, none of this newer soldered on storage shit they do these days.

I've lost a lot of respect for companies that solder on important parts that should rightfully be fairly easy to replace or upgrade.

Plus, now the big companies have taken to forcing encryption on the storage devices, effectively locking the drive to the system. Well isn't that just cute for the backup operator that's trying to recover your late grandmother's family photos...

HyperCard was basically the viewer/player for HyperCard stacks/files. HyperStudio was the program used to make them.


This is incorrect. The HyperCard application could both create and play back HyperCard stacks. It could also export them as stand-alone applications which people could use without needing to run HyperCard.

::: spoiler HyperStudio was something else, not shipped by Apple.
The author describes it here:

It was inspired by HyperCard and Ted Nelson’s ideas of hypertext and hypermedia. But whereas HyperCard was a database of alphanumeric data controlled by a scripting language, HyperStudio was founded on the idea of the primary layer being a paint program, and linking (“hyper-”) media (“studio”) together in an object-oriented, rather than lexical (program language), environment. The result was a program that is its own category of software. That is to say, HyperStudio has an extremely unique environment, and although it can create videos, presentations, animations and comic-style (graphic novel) digital stories, it is neither movie-making software, presentation software, and animation program, nor a comic-book maker. It is HyperStudio and no other program has ever duplicated or even successfully approximated its functionality.


see also en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HyperStu…
:::

I should admit that it’s been years since I messed around with old Macintosh or looked into the old Mac retro sites, it’s probably out there somewhere…


You can use HyperCard on an emulated Mac in a web browser at system7.app/ - it's in the Multimedia folder there 😀

Interesting. I only recall 2 programs when I took the HyperStudio class, where the HyperCard Player was free for all to use, but couldn't make projects.

HyperStudio was the paid program that the school had paid licensing fees to use, and as such we weren't allowed to copy that software.

Maybe I missed the original HyperCard itself, we were only allowed to copy and share HyperCard Player, which most definitely could not create projects, only play them.

Just add cut pieces of carrots and jalapenos and small/Persian cucumbers - and some weeks later you'll be super rewarded!

ETA: just carrots added to new jalapeño brine and 3 days is sufficient 🔥

LAPD coming out en masse to protect ICE from the people of LA—instead of the other way around—says a lot about the morality of the LAPD and of city government. It says a lot about what non-cooperation with federal law enforcement actually means in practice.

Mayor Bass Has a strongly worded statement condemning the ICE raid, as if the city could not possibly have done anything to prevent it from happening. There is no such thing as non-cooperation with ICE as long as local police can be called out to fight the federal government's battles for them.

The bare minimum of non-cooperation would be just letting it happen, hands off, which clearly is not what went down yesterday. This was active facilitation. What would it look like for local governments to actively interfere with ICE raids? It's hard to imagine.
