PANERGATIKI – We are human beings, not machines NO to the 13-hours workday #WFTU pamehellas.gr/panergatiki-we-a…

I have over 400 physical DVDs and over 300 physical CDs. I buy them, I rip them, and then I put them in a box.

And I'm kind of wondering why I keep them. Why not rip and resell? I'm not planning to buy enough shelf space for all that. I like the convenience of having a media server.

I've got other stuff I'm storing in my storage unit, so it doesn't cost me anything to keep them, but still. Why?

Translated lede: "#ICE declares itself above the US judicial system and claims millions of undocumented #immigrants are ineligible for bond hearings while being held for #deportations", which is a scumbag maneuver to have them simply give up and leave, instead of pursuing their case and being locked down for months or years.

The thing about Epstein is that raping kids is bad, everyone who ever set foot on his island/jet/party house knew it was bad, and they’re all garbage people.

What is also bad is that the current Republican party is doing everything in their power to make raping girls more common. They are making it dangerous to report. They are making it hard to get out of abusive relationships. They are making it hard to survive for young victims.

Fuck Epstein. Look at the current crop of pro-rape guys.

@Michael E. Mann So CO2 is making it colder? When will people realize that 1) Weather always has and always will happen, Earth is NOT going to become a Risa, even if we could control the weather we can't control the women, so just give up on that fantasy, and 2) Weather is a fractal phenomena, the larger the period of time you sample temperature over, the more radical will be the excursions in BOTH directions, and 3) No amount of taxes will improve the weather, they will only inhibit your ability respond to it.

In Ecuador, a 2023 court decision that recognizes one Indigenous community’s rights to own part of a protected area in the Amazon has escalated a long-simmering conflict with another Indigenous people that uses and has claims over the same piece of land.

The enemy was mighty. The enemy had always been mighty. Russia, Iran, China, North Korea — paper tigers puffed up to justify the endless watchmen, budgets, and fear. America’s supremacy is 1984-level: it needs its Emmanuel Goldsteins to bind the public mind in loyalty and dread. The past is plastic, the threat eternal. We must believe: we have always been at war with the tiger. So the tiger must roar, so the people stay small.

Spurred by a yearlong investigation by Mongabay, a federal crackdown has removed up to 2,000 illegal cattle from Brazil’s Arariboia Indigenous Territory, but faced unexpected protests from some Indigenous residents claiming ownership.

The pushback has prompted the government to consider regulating Indigenous-owned cattle, raising fears of setting a precedent and inviting the disguised return of illegal herds.

"There are cover-ups, and then there’s whatever the British Government just pulled.

Imagine torching £7 ($9.4) billion of public money, risking 100,000 lives, creating an immigration scandal, and then, when the inevitable outrage starts to bubble, slapping a gag order on the entire country and pretending it never happened.

This is banana-republic behavior with better tailoring."

This is a criminal conspiracy. And by treating it as a conspiracy, you eliminate the five-year statutes on individual crimes. So if something happened in 2016, but it was part of an ongoing conspiracy that continued with Jack Smith raiding Donald Trump’s home at Mar-a-Lago, it can be charged in the larger conspiracy. Even though, if you tried to charge it as an individual case, you wouldn’t get it.

Mainstream media coverage of ICE enforcement misrepresents both the law and reality. They conflate detention with imprisonment, status checks with mass arrests, and lawful deportations with constitutional violations, creating a false narrative of authoritarianism. Trump’s enforcement simply applies existing law through legal, intelligence-driven operations that past administrations ignored.

July 15, 2025 @ 20:08 Good evening family & friends❣️ I finished up the laundry today, had it all hung well before noon. Neighbor came and took the rest of the tree off our shed (I should go take another picture) that had fallen a couple of days ago*. Charlie and her sister walked over, brushed Maisie, watered the garden for me, and applied a last coat of spray paint to the tires. The work Bill did on the front porch* is working out SO WELL and we've had several neighbors come over to comment on how nice it looks 😀. I slept a lot. Oh yeah...and there was something stinky in here, like something died in the wall, for nearly a week...when Bill was here this morning he even commented on it. While I was sleeping Pete tore apart the kitchen to see what he could find - nothing. Later I happened to look behind the microwave and there was a package of meat of some sort - hard to tell by this point - that had fallen behind and rotted and dripped down the back of the tool cart that I use for a counter/cupboard space...and at the pool on the floor were too many maggots to count! Oh. My. Goodness. WHAT A MESS!! But Pete got it all cleaned up in here and now it smells fine. (That would also account for the big influx of flies we've had in here this last week!) Ordered a pizza for dinner [chiachow.net/what-i-eat], I had a coupon, and did a Tuesday Titters post [chia.owly.net/tuesday-titters-…]. OK, I guess that's it, I have a whopper of a headache and am going to bed soon. I will see you in the morning❣️🙏🥱🌛💤

That brings back a memory. Blessed mom cooked dinner. I think I was in middle school. I didn’t want to eat anymore meat. So I threw it behind the refrigerator. The apt had high ceilings and the fridge had no cabinets above it. A week later maggots were crawling out from under there. Mom moved the fridge, saw the meat and maggots. So yucky. Glad she let it slide. She probably thought it was my little sister who did. She was mom’s favorite. 😁

Trump’s UN nominee calls for dismantling of UNRWA

President Trump’s pick for US ambassador to the United Nations, Mike Waltz, says the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, “must be dismantled”.

“UNRWA in Gaza, with its staff involved in the October 7 massacre, its schools teaching anti-Semitic hate [sic!], must be dismantled,” Waltz said during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing. “It simply not only needs to be defunded … but it should be dismantled.”

Each week, I stand before a group of men and women suffering varying stages of dementia. I am aware as I stand there that unless the Holy Spirit breaks through their confusion and forgetfulness, I will be speaking into the air. Nothing I say during those 30 minutes or so will have any chance of making an impact on their lives.

And so, with that awareness, I always begin our time together praying aloud for the Lord to open all of our minds and hearts as I speak words of encouragement, exhortation, hope and promise.

But – isn’t that what we should all always do whenever we speak – or plan to speak – with someone about the Lord? Shouldn’t we always – even if it’s a quickly breathed prayer – shouldn’t we always ask the Holy Spirit to speak His truths through us? Don’t we know that just because a person has an intact memory doesn’t mean they also have ears to hear and hearts that are soft to God's voice.

And – isn’t that what you and I should always do when we open our Bibles to read? Don’t we want from the Holy Spirit more than mere ‘information’? Don’t we also want from Him ‘revelation’?

What Energy-Saving Mobile Crushing Solutions Are There for High-Cost Stones?


In today’s mining and aggregate operations, the cost of processing certain types of stone can be significantly high due to factors such as hardness, transport distance, and energy consumption. For operators dealing with these high-cost materials, adopting energy-efficient technologies is no longer optional—it’s a key factor in staying profitable. In this context, mobile crushing solutions are becoming increasingly attractive due to their lower setup costs, flexibility, and energy-saving potential. From innovative drive systems to intelligent automation, modern mobile stone crusher units are evolving to meet the demands of sustainable and cost-effective crushing.

This article explores various energy-saving mobile crushing solutions(trituradora de piedra portatil) suitable for processing expensive stone materials, with a focus on practicality and return on investment.

Why Energy Efficiency Matters in High-Cost Stone Operations

Rising Fuel and Electricity Prices


Fuel and power costs account for a significant portion of total operating expenses in crushing operations. When working with harder stones like granite, basalt, or dense river rock, energy consumption increases substantially. Without efficient systems in place, the profitability of each ton of processed stone drops.

Environmental Regulations and Carbon Emissions


In regions such as Latin America and Southeast Asia, governments are tightening environmental standards. Crushing equipment that reduces emissions and uses less fuel helps operators comply with regulations while improving their environmental footprint.

Hybrid and Electric Drive Systems

Diesel-Electric Mobile Crushers


One of the most effective solutions is the use of diesel-electric drive systems. These systems allow the mobile stone crusher to run on diesel fuel while generating electricity for other components. The engine only powers a generator, and all crushing and conveying functions are electric.

This setup significantly reduces fuel consumption compared to traditional hydraulic systems and allows the crusher to run on external power if available, further improving efficiency.

Fully Electric Portable Crushers


When access to grid power or solar generation is possible, fully electric portable stone crusher units can operate with near-zero emissions and minimal energy costs. These setups are ideal for long-term projects where power infrastructure is available or can be set up quickly.

Intelligent Crushing Control Systems

Adaptive Load Control and Automation


Modern mobile crushing units are equipped with smart control systems that monitor feed levels, power usage, and load distribution. These systems automatically adjust crusher settings and conveyor speeds in real time, ensuring optimal performance with the least amount of energy consumed.

Such automation is particularly beneficial when using a gravel crusheror rock crusher(trituradora de rocas) on variable material sizes, where manual control could result in over-crushing and wasted energy.

Remote Monitoring and Efficiency Reporting


Some advanced models allow remote monitoring of fuel consumption, throughput, and equipment condition. This data helps operators identify energy-wasting patterns and make informed decisions about scheduling, load balancing, and maintenance routines.

Material-Specific Crushing Strategies

Pre-Screening to Reduce Load


One of the simplest ways to save energy is by removing fines and unwanted material before they reach the crusher. Installing a pre-screen on the mobile stone crusher allows smaller particles to bypass the crushing chamber, which reduces load and energy use.

This approach is particularly useful when processing mixed materials, such as riverbed stone or demolition debris, where a large volume of the feed is already small enough.

Selective Crushing for Valuable Aggregates


Rather than crushing all material to the same size, energy-efficient systems allow for selective crushing. For example, a gravel crusher(trituradora de piedra para grava) may be adjusted to produce a specific grade of material with minimal overprocessing, reducing energy use while maximizing output quality.

Lightweight and Modular Equipment Design

Reduced Transport and Setup Energy


Many newer portable stone crusher models are built with lightweight frames and modular designs. This not only simplifies transportation between sites but also reduces the energy needed for loading, unloading, and setup.

Space-Saving for Urban or Remote Locations


Energy efficiency isn’t only about operation—it also includes reducing idle time and inefficient site layouts. Mobile crushers that are compact and easy to deploy minimize idle running hours, fuel usage, and material handling effort.

Conclusion: Invest in Smarter, Greener Crushing


As the cost of raw materials and energy continues to rise, mining and aggregate producers need crushing solutions that combine mobility with efficiency. Whether using a diesel-electric mobile stone crusher, a fully electric portable stone crusher, or an intelligent rock crusher system, the goal is the same—maximize output while minimizing energy input.

With the right setup, even high-cost stone becomes economically viable to crush and process. Energy-saving mobile solutions are not only better for the bottom line but also position your operation for future success in a more sustainable, competitive market.

Survival tip ...

Just a bit of advice from an old corrections officer and Deputy Warden.

If you know a person who is on Haloperidol, understand he is very unpredictable and dangerous. Especially when off his meds.

I have dealt with these people for thirty plus years in the maximum security cellblocks. Real Bam Bams. They are very dangerous.

Now one lives very close by. Taking Cisapride and Haloperidol.
A combination contraindicated by the manufacturer. Damned interns and state psycho doctors.

He has been in one of my prisons for a short while, if 5 years of hell is considered short. He is a real problem child. Becomes enraged for no cause. A barely trainable feral animal.

He knows me and I know him. He has exhibited homicidal behaviors in the past. The court let him off easy after trying to kill more than a half dozen people because a girl spurned him. His M.O. is to wait until the early dark hours and set fire to your home. Burn you and yours up.

We don't always get a heads up. These people could be shopping at Krogers next to you and in an instant draw a knife and kill you because you were there.

Remember that the knife is, in these times, the most popular weapon of choice. The knife is silent and requires no ammunition. In close quarters the knife is more dangerous than a handgun or a sword. Knives can be made in the most stringently controlled environment.

Keep vigilant at all times. Watch the behavior of those around you. Body language is a good clue. Are they out of place? What is in their hands?

I have 30 plus years hiking this skill. You need to start now. Try to keep 21 feet or more between you and those you don't know. Keep your weapon at the ready for immediate use.
Be prepared to act without warning to save your loved ones and yourself.

Stay strapped or get clapped.

More siding contractor drama

They detached our meterbox last week Wednesday. Told me to call the power co. They said it’s not an emergency and make sure it’s done. Ok. I was busy. Saturday night storms come through. BOOM! that was close. Our power goes on off on off on off … off. Hhm I remember our power box. Text siding guy. Since our neighbors power went out too it’s not the meter box. Then says I should have called. WTF. I google. It’s a BFD. Not an emergency but a BFD.

They mean well, but communication sucks, planning meh. They don’t want to stop and take care of issues but finish quickly to get to the next project. But then things happen and you wind up having to come back anyway.
