Turns out, it’s hard to focus when your country is falling apart!
“Don’t rob the poor just because you can, or exploit the needy in court. For the LORD is their defender. He will ruin anyone who ruins them.” Proverbs 22:22-23, New Living Translation
“You must not exploit a widow or an orphan. If you exploit them in any way and they cry out to me, then I will certainly hear their cry. My anger will blaze against you, and I will kill you with the sword. Then your wives will be widows and your children fatherless." Exodus 22:22–24, NLT
“👊🇺🇸🔥”, but it’s God judging the USA—for its many grievous sins against the poor and powerless—by giving us wicked, cowardly, careless rulers.
It’s almost like we put the worst people in charge and now we’re all in danger.
I’m not ready to splurge for a Veto toolbag, but I’m on the lookout for decent budget options. Any recs? Looking to maximize slots/pockets for a grab-and-go DIY toolbag.
What’s the best adjustable tension knot? Taut line hitch? Midshipman’s hitch? Adjustable grip hitch? Something else? What’s your go-to tension knot? 🪢
Looks like I’m coming off Zepbound because, even though it’s been working for me and my insurance covers it for obesity weight-loss, it’s gone from $25 out of pocket in January, to $123 in February, to $1,049 this month. And manufacturer’s coupon can only bring that down to $650. Sigh. 😔

Our kids don’t deserve this. They don’t get a second chance at growing up. It will take decades to recover from this madness. Many never will. How many have already died around the world thanks to the cuts at USAID and HHS? Now we’re gutting our education system. All so the rich can get richer.
GAH! This table saw makes it 80 years, and then I snap the rip fence handle. Grrrrr. Anyone have an extra Craftsman 113 rip fence handle like this lying around?
Do I get the Harbor Freight Bauer brushless cordless circular saw for $90 (includes a 5ah battery and charger) or no? I’ve got a super cheap corded circ saw, but have been eyeing a cordless… Also I have a bunch of Bauer tools and batteries.
Country is falling apart and it feels like most people don’t know or care. 🤷♂️
Picked up a Craftsman 113.22400 8-inch table saw for $40! It’s got a 1/2 HP, 1750 RPM 115.6962 motor on it. I think the motor pulley is a 3-inch and the manual says I should have a 6-inch pulley for 1750 RPM. So, that’s first on my list!
When’s the acceptable time to start day-drinking on St. Patrick’s Day? Asking for a friend.
Need some more Anger/Rage song recs. Can only listen to “War Pigs” and Rage Against the Machine for so long. What else should go on my Anger playlist??
Regarding coding bootcamps, did the Council on Integrity in Results Reporting (CIRR) stop collecting data after 2023? Or is it still going? www.cirr.org

not a stone will be left on stone.
Let the king beware for your justice tears
every tyrant from his throne.”
