In the dead of winter, on a day with -27°C wind chill, in FiveFinger shoes (my toes are still cold), on icy trails, in a state that hates anything other than cars, on a dead ebike (25kg), and with no additional planning than "I should bring a rope today," I was able to transport a full 4'x8' sheet of plywood from the hardware store to my home for model railroading without any issues at all. If I could do it under these conditions, then anybody could do it under nearly any conditions.

AstroG4 had a problem: He loves trains, but he just doesn't have quite enough wood. Now a normal person would look at the weather, then hop in their GMC Yukon XL Denali and run over fifty children on their way to pick up plywood.

AstroG4's too eco-conscience for that. Instead, he strapped on his goddarn FiveFingers shoes with the individual toes, mounted his glorified Huffy, and braved the subzero temperatures on a non-functioning eBike to prove to the rest of us that you CAN, in fact, transport one full sheet of plywood on a walmart-tier Trek bicycle.

You may be asking yourself "how is that a full 4x8 sheet when it's clearly cut into 4x2 sections?"

Three splices, actually, but perfectly sound logic. I could grind a piece of plywood into sawdust, dump it into a backpack, carry it onto a plane, then reglue it back into a 4x8 sheet and claim I was able to carry-on a sheet of plywood.

But honestly, that's not the reason I'm posting this. Much like the /r/malelivingspaces threads that Carp would post (please do more, they're fun), I want everyone to look at his model trainery.

The more you look, the more you see.

• Pieces extending beyond necessary length

• Jigsawed paths for curved tracks

• Everything is made of scrap remnants you'd normally toss or burn

• Drywall screws everywhere

• Scrap pieces used as spliceblocks, seemingly using tie-wire to hold them to the main track curve

• Thin tinmetal braces held on by a single screw, no washer, in no way actually bracing the legs

• The table-thing in the foreground (lower right corner) has a short leg, being extended with a single carriage bolt

• Handwriting looks like a fat neurodivergent, using the cheapest tan masking tape he could find.

• A single laser-cut cupholder, clearly not his own work

I'm still baffled by how he can be so terrible at woodworking on the right half of the picture, but appears to have functional drawer slides and flush-mounted buttons on the left half.

And since this is Reddit, you guessed it: he's nonbinary and posts in femboymemes link

thanks and godbless !friendsofxirabolt

Out of 500,000 NCAA athletes 10 are transgender 😂 completely made up issue (239)

This logic is flawed. While there maybe only 10 transgender athletes, those athletes impact more than just 10 people. They individually impact everyone they ever play with and against. That number is certainly larger than 10. Rules like this aren't for the individuals that they prohibit, they are for everyone else that are affect by them. (-8)

Imagine if someone made a rule that red headed people were no longer allowed to go to the movies, because their red hair was so bright it might hurt other people's eyes while watching. That's silly, right? There's no evidence of that, there are very few red haired people even that exist, and the majority of the people watching movies are cool with red haired people.Maybe not getting to go to the movies and have a source of major enjoyment that other people get to have isn't a big deal to you.But next they will say red haired people are distracting - we shouldnt allow them to drive either, they can cause accidents.Redhaired people start getting fired from jobs and no longer getting hired, or their businesses no longer patronized since people don't want to risk being around themRed haired people start being murdered and r*ped and committing suicide more often, because criminals know they can get away with it.Then they will say we should round all the red haired people up and put them...

The reasoning behind it is flawed and masked in "protecting women" when it's about targeting the LGBTQ community Cis women are being targeted and accused of being trans if someone feels they are too good, too masculine presenting or they just don't like them/what they have to sayCis women are being accused of being trans because of how they biologically exist, such as naturally occurring variance in hormones. Once this information is released people refuse to the believe they're women and all their accomplishments as athletes are thrown away. I was born with 9 times the amount of testosterone that I am suppose to have. It never made me a better athlete but people don't care and if that were given out the the public, people would die on the hill that I am biologically male even though I have had two children emerge from my body that lived in my uterus with my eggs that were naturally released through my fallopian tubes.This issue unfairly targets people of color who have a long histo...

The UK government's "technical capability notice" requires blanket access rather than merely assistance to access a specific account, the paper reported, citing unnamed sources.

Except of course this isn't the first time Britain tried to enforce their Orwellian speech laws with Apple and then Literally Nothing Happened

Utterly mad. Amazed Apple will not turn down this request or simply threaten not to sell them in the UK. They'd change their tune pretty quick then.

Lmao, good luck Apple doing that. The UK is a pretty decent chunk of their European market and with a pretty good position I would say.

that's only because we have to buy a new phone every month when they get snatched by a moped rowdie

Jfc, can we have just a few weeks at least without some authoritarian bullshit being thrust upon us.

No because google has probably already enthusiastically served up all of its users' data

To be fair, the Tories had extensive plans to break end to end encryption too.

There is a huge difference here between 'back door with a warrant', and 'back door with no warrant'.

I believe 'back door with no warrant' is something Pakistanis were doing to british schoolchildren between the years of 2002 and 2018

If a judge tried to tell a general how to conduct a military operation, that would be illegal.

If a judge tried to command the attorney general in how to use her discretion as a prosecutor, that's also illegal.

Judges aren't allowed to control the executive's legitimate power.

Burgers have an extremely r-slurred political system. If a PM in Canada actually tried the Burger "Ignore the courts", the House of Commons would force a non confidence vote, and they would likely lose it.

of course it's a paki paper lmao, copy &&pasted :

The mastermind behind the right-wing X, formerly Twitter, account 'Inevitable West' has been exposed as an alleged Indian crypto scammer and political grifter following a major blunder.

Saurabh Chandrakar, linked to the controversial Mahadev betting app, mistakenly promoted the app on his main social media account, inadvertently leading to his identification. This error sparked online investigations, which uncovered his alleged involvement in a massive money-laundering operation connected to the app.

According to Indian news outlets, Chandrakar, a prominent figure behind the Mahadev betting app, is currently under house arrest in Dubai after being detained following an Interpol-issued Red Notice. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) in India is actively seeking his extradition to face charges related to money laundering, with estimates suggesting the illicit proceeds could amount to ₹6,000 crore (approximately $680 million). His case has become more complex as it is allegedly linked to several high-ranking politicians and bureaucrats in Chhattisgarh. So far, 11 individuals have been arrested, and two charge sheets have been filed.

The Mahadev app has become a focal point of controversy, drawing attention to Chandrakar's background. Reports suggest that he, along with business partner Ravi Uppal, allegedly ran the app as part of a larger scheme that defrauded thousands of people. The scale of the operation has raised further questions, particularly after reports surfaced of Chandrakar hosting a lavish wedding in Dubai.

In addition to his business dealings, Chandrakar gained notoriety on social media under the pseudonym 'Inevitable West,' where his account quickly gained traction. X users noticed a rapid surge in followers, with some speculating that his posts were picked up by high-profile individuals, including Elon Musk, which allegedly contributed to his skyrocketing popularity.

According to data from USASpending.gov, the U.S. government has granted over $270 million to the East-West Management Institute (EWMI) over the past 15 years. EWMI is an organization partnered with George Soros' Open Society Foundations. Additionally, another $90 million was obligated to the institution over several contracts. The East-West Management Institute describes its mission as "strengthening democratic societies by fostering collaboration between governments, civil society, and the private sector to build transparent and accountable institutions." Its funding primarily comes from USAID and the U.S. Department of State. Programs include judicial reform, legal aid, and rule of law initiatives in countries like Albania, Armenia, Cambodia, and Georgia, as well as civil society training in nations such as Kyrgyzstan and Uganda.It's important to note that while EWMI has received substantial funding from USAID, this funding is directed towards the organization's initiatives and n...

There has been countless studies that spending on foreign aid yields dividend in the form of both reduced military spending and increased foreign trade. This view was championed by Trump's own secdef, James Mattis. This view is not a controversial one. Trump and his people all are aware of the reality. But they said they would find waste and fraud in govt spending, and they can't find any actual waste or fraud, so they're pointing to the old reliable boogey man that his dumb supporters fall for every time, foreign aid.This last question is idiotic propaganda for weak minded people. Point to a bad program. Don't regurgitate your masters bs. (1)

No, even if we do a bunch of bad things that doesn't prove that everything we do is bad. No, we still do good things. With all that tax money we're taking the giveaway, we still do a few good things.
