Once they achieved the ultimate DEI position, every other work employment was up for grabs.
There's an insidious amount of DEI people that have been hired that hopefully will just fade out through sheer incompetence.
We can only hope.
I am tired of people giving boomers a bad name (not all deserve it), but at least we knew how to do basic maintenance, life skills.

George Dubya Trump Seeks Regime Change In Iran

He’s rolling out the George W Bush playbook for regime change war and playing it note for note, while still trying to ride the support he garnered with his populist messaging about draining the swamp and ending the wars.

this was this past week, trump said he'll make a decision on Iran "in 14 days", "2 weeks".

I'd seriously consider not listening to or reading news from a lot of sources, because all they want to do is rile up everyone.

why would LEO want to go door to door where there can be firearms and whatever behind the doors they bust in.

But america in general doesn't have a problem with migrant farmworkers. No one wants to pick stuff in the summer.

This absolute faggot is caving on the farm deportations (again).

(yes, this is from today, not from days ago)

Or perhaps this is some 19 dimensional chess move to divert attention from one betrayal by an even bigger betrayal.

Premature infants at Nasser Medical Complex in #KhanYounis are facing life-threatening conditions as severe malnutrition sets in.

The #Gaza Strip has run out of vital infant formula due to the ongoing Israeli blockade and the complete closure of border crossings, preventing the entry of critical medical supplies. Doctors warn that the lives of these vulnerable newborns hang in the balance.

Europe's far right is growing in both Eastern and Western Europe. Economic crisis, austerity, and historical revisionism are contributing factors with decades of austerity, deindustrialization, and corporate domination having devastated working-class communities.

Meanwhile, pervasive anti-communism, encouraged at the EU level, is distorting history and delegitimizing socialism as a viable alternative.

After a week of anticipation, the U.S. struck Iran's nuclear facilities in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. Iran accuses the U.S. of "betraying diplomacy" and violating international law and the UN Charter.

- American bombing of Iranian facilities changes the rules of the game

- It is arrogance and unrealistic to think that preemptive strikes will bring to its knees a country with 90 million inhabitants and a heritage spanning thousands of years

- American bombing postpones, even if temporarily, the danger of Iran's nuclear program but its repercussions will be broader

- Iran will not collapse even after the very painful American strike, and we must not forget that it still possesses a powerful arsenal of missiles.

The empire was already toast, homie. We had our 250 years. As we go, the Arabs are going to eat Israel alive, so I don't know if I would be celebrating our demise so fervently. But I guess the suicidal hubris of your people is fucking legendary, so maybe you would. Lol.

Anyway, I'm going to take your continued impotent raging as a "yes". Is the pay decent or are you just an enlistee? Seriously.

How to Score Great Deals on Grove Crane Parts


Whether you’re running a single crane or managing a fleet, negotiating with a crane parts supplier can stretch your budget further. Here’s a guide to securing the best deals.

Keeping Grove cranes operational can be pricey, especially when replacing parts. Whether you’re running a single crane or managing a fleet, negotiating with a crane parts supplier can stretch your budget further. Here’s a guide to securing the best deals.

1. Arm Yourself with Part Specifics


Before you contact a crane parts supplier, know your requirements: exact part number, crane model, and any compatible alternatives. Being prepared signals you’re a serious buyer, streamlining talks and boosting your negotiating power.
Tip: Log all Grove crane parts replacements to track wear and simplify future orders.

2. Shop Around, But Value Quality


Price matters, but don’t fixate on the lowest quote. Get prices from at least two or three crane parts suppliers and compare:

  • OEM or aftermarket parts?
  • How quick is delivery?
  • What’s the warranty like?

A bargain part can cost more if it fails fast. Use other quotes to negotiate, but don’t sacrifice reliability for savings.

3. Probe for Bulk Savings


Ordering multiple Grove crane parts or planning regular purchases? Ask about bulk discounts. Suppliers often hold back these offers unless you inquire. Try:
“Can you cut me a deal if I add a seal kit to this order?”
If your company runs several cranes, mention it—loyal customers often get better rates.

4. Look into Rebuilt Parts


Not every repair needs a new part. Rebuilt Grove crane parts can perform well at a fraction of the cost, especially for older cranes or minor systems. Always request a warranty and rebuild records. Vague answers? That’s a red flag.

5. Nurture Supplier Connections


Stick with a couple of trusted crane parts suppliers for long-term benefits. As they get to know you, they might:

  • Offer discounts without you asking
  • Tip you off about sales
  • Ease up on payment terms

Stay professional and clear to build a relationship that pays off.

6. Check Alternative Parts Carefully


Suppliers may pitch aftermarket or alternative Grove crane parts to save money. Verify these with your crane’s manual or a mechanic. A solid supplier will suggest reliable substitutes, but steer clear of cheap parts that won’t last.

7. Play Your Timeline Smart


Got time to spare? Let the supplier know:
“I can wait a bit—any chance for a better price on a later delivery?”
This gives them wiggle room to lower costs.
Need it fast? You’ll pay more, but still ask:
“What’s your best price for a rush job?”
They might have stock they want to move.

8. Lock in Payment Terms


Clarify payment terms before sealing the deal. Paying upfront? Ask for a small discount. Using credit or net-30? Get it in writing to avoid hiccups. Clear terms keep things smooth and show you’re on top of things.

9. Know When to Bail


If the price is too steep or the supplier’s shady—vague terms, no warranty—walk away. Plenty of reputable crane parts suppliers exist. Don’t risk a bad part or deal.

Final Word: Negotiation’s No Big Deal


Suppliers expect you to haggle. Come prepared, stay polite, and you’ll likely land better prices on Grove crane parts while building ties with suppliers. Smart negotiating keeps your cranes—and your wallet—in good shape.

No Internet For 4 Hours And Now This


Well, I'm back online after a 4 hour blackout due to the heat in Brooklyn.

I found out that my ISP Optimum had issues with their equipment in Brooklyn due to the heat and humidity set on by this week's weather.

Now I'm worried that things will be really harsh on my equipment in the living room.

Any suggestions on how to keep the modem/router from overheating and causing problems?

Are there any examples of Linux (desktop) viruses that are actively or were recently in circulation?


Or historical exploits/trojans/etc. that deserve more attention? I've mostly heard about lucrative vulnerabilities that concern Linux servers, but what about the end-users on desktops? Or is the Linux desktop market small enough that we mostly just see one-off instances of users blindly running malicious scripts?
in reply to monovergent 🛠️

TLDR: While Linux is less susceptible to malware in some ways, it mostly boils down to Linux having a more technically minded userbase whereas Windows is a "mainstream" operating system.

Most Windows malware nowadays come from social engineering scams (complete this "captcha" by pressing Windows+R and pasting in this powershell script we conveniently put in your clipboard) or untrusted third party installers because Windows doesn't natively have a package manager. Like others have said, the old school self-propagating worms and drive by downloads that activate just by clicking on a link aren't really possible anymore (outside of state actors with unlimited budgets to buy zero days) unless your system or browser is horrifically outdated.

In terms of social engineering, Linux is not necessarily better at preventing it than Windows. In fact, sudo in Linux will unquestioningly delete the kernel and system software or make unlimited changes to them. Windows, for better or for worse (tbh more worse than better), uses TrustedInstaller to limit access to system files. Windows 11 won't easily let you delete or modify System32 for example, even if you're an admin. So it's in theory easier to do more damage to your system on Linux if you don't know what you're doing. But if someone is using Linux full time, they're most likely technical enough to not be fooled into running random untrusted bash commands. The biggest thing is to be careful with those Linux terminal tutorial sites that have a "add to clipboard" button, they can put literally anything into your clipboard, including an enter key to run the script as soon as you put it in your terminal (though this may or may not be possible depending on your terminal app). Actually, they don't even need you to use their copy button. They can just set an event listener for control-C anywhere on their site and automatically replace the clipboard content. Just double check everything you copy before running it, especially since there's a lot of times where Linux users have to rely on obsecue tutorials hosted on untrusted websites.

You also don't really need to run untrusted installers on Linux because almost everything you need is in a properly moderated software repository, be it your native package manager, Flatpak, or Snap. Everything is signed by the authors and has a ton of eyes from the open source community on it. The only things to look out for is compiling something from GitHub, random AppImages, random Elf binaries, and last but not least random third party repositories that can be added as an installation source to your package manager/Flatpak/Snap. Basically, Linux gets most of its "doesn't get malware" reputation from the same place Mac does: you rarely have to manually download and run an executable from a random website, which is the norm on Windows. Add to the fact that even when that's needed, the Linux userbase is more technical and is more able to discern which sources are reputable and which are suspicious.

Another major source of malware is pirated versions of Windows or untrusted "license activators" from the internet. This just isn't a problem on Linux because there's no license to activate and it's free to begin with so there's nothing to pirate. And again, if someone is running Linux, they're probably technical enough to know not to run random pirated versions of paid software to begin with, helped by the fact that the vast majority of paid software is Windows only.
