How Trump Plans to Seize the Power of the Purse From Congress
  • Pretending Biden did nothing to alleviate student loan debt when the reality is he rolled out an unprecedented number of programs, largely blocked by courts, is disingenuous

  • What are some tools you need when starting to do basic DIY Mechanical work and possible home improvement in the future.
  • Most simple tools, I’d always recommend HF (hand tools, basic power tools, etc). If it doesn’t have electricity, I’ve never had an issue with their tools. They’ve also made aggressive upmarket shifts lately (past 5 years), which has introduced some higher end lines that seem pretty well made from what I’ve heard.

  • Find me something that health officials say is unsafe above a specific ppm. Then find one that doesn’t have terrible effects like IQ loss when you have 10-100x that level in your water (which, to be clear, is veeeeery few people in this case)

  • What are some tools you need when starting to do basic DIY Mechanical work and possible home improvement in the future.
  • I’d probably go circular saw with guide if you need a straight cut. Honestly, I rarely make curved cuts so I use a circular saw more than a jigsaw.

  • What are some tools you need when starting to do basic DIY Mechanical work and possible home improvement in the future.
  • In addition to the torque wrench, a breaker bar is helpful. You didn’t mention it but Allen wrenches are vital.

    Also, all hail Harbor Freight. Great place to get cheap tools. If you don’t think you’ll use a power tool more than once a year, they have some great cheap shit too. They do have higher end power tools, but they have frequent sales so I would wait for one of those.

    Otherwise, other tool choices come down to the type of work you’ll be doing. I do more wood stuff personally, but you sound more like a metal guy

  • They’ve made a couple contract moves but this one baffles me. You have Marchan, who is younger and better offensively and just as competent defensively

  • Russia bans adoption of its children from countries that allow gender transition
  • It’s only a non-issue because they already have other bans in place (at least on Americans). It will probably decrease Russian adoptions though

    I’d also argue that a ban on speech is an issue
