    How are the trail conditions?

    Things that make you frown :(

    I can certainly vouch for this. Lots of incredibly talented, capable, hard working people having their lives torn apart for exactly zero reason.

    Tariffs...what to make of them.

    I think the point on the "armored Teslas" isn't so much that Tesla received that contract as a result of the election, which obviously did not happen based on the timing. The point is, if you're going to have someone claim to do an independent audit of government expenditures but that person...

    Tariffs...what to make of them.

    I've made this point before, but Camacho was a much, much better President than Trump. Camacho at least cared enough to listen to the smart person in the room, even when that person had ideas that contradicted his own beliefs. He was presented with evidence and used that to inform his decision...

    Just because some aspects of the EO may be legal, doesn't mean that you get to defy a court order pausing implementation, which was the original point of contention.

    Tariffs...what to make of them.

    You'd think at some point these people in Congress would be like "why are we even here?". Is it rewarding to have your jobs made redundant by the executive branch? Is this why you ran for office? I suppose as long as the donors keep donating, stock tips keep coming in, and cushy post-Government...

    Thinking about new ski boots

    Didn't realize he was still there. I used to do group road rides out of the Heinos shop. Great guy and definitely know his stuff with boot fitting.

    The DIY thread - DIYourself

    Oh yeah, definitely familiar with WT weird bearing sizes. I have one of their bandsaws and same deal. If you haven't already checked it out, owwm.org is a old resource. There's also a Walker Turner place in CT that's supposed to have parts but I've never contacted them...

    The DIY thread - DIYourself

    Pictures of the drill press? Anything interesting? I went through similar with an Atlas press that I picked up a few years ago.

    Call me an armchair foreign policy specialist, but forcibly displacing a population of 2 million people to build the "Riviera of the Middle East" feels like a bad thing.

    Sorry, your example of "unqualified DEI hire" is a nuclear engineering and public policy degree holder from MIT who worked in nuclear waste disposal before being appointed to the DOE to be in charge of nuclear waste disposal? Assuming we have the short list of more qualified nuclear waste...

    Things that make you frown :(

    I don't particularly want to fly at the moment either. The ATC personnel situation has been at a breaking point for years and the incredibly stressed out, overworked, underpaid people that we rely on for safe air travel now have this shit to deal with in the wake of a completely tragic accident.

    What's more useless on a gravel bike

    My gravel bike came with a dropper post which I initially thought I might replace but I actually really like having it. Yes, it's nice to have for the occasional section of trail that's more like mtb singletrack but even on road descents it's really nice to have just a slightly different...

    Drones overhead tonight (many)

    Admittedly I didn't watch the response, but this isn't really suspicious. It's likely that the briefing included information about the various resources and data collection means being used to investigate that could have an impact on national security if made public.

    Definitely wouldn't suggest shooting at one of those.
