Just a note for people looking deeper into it:
Joseph Conrad is the author of Heart of Darkness, the book Apocalypse Now is based on. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Conrad
Joseph Campbell is the author of The Hero with a Thousand Faces, which is where the hero’s journey, monomyth idea comes from. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Campbell
Does this even matter?? The chilling effect of 245% vs 145% or even 45% has gotta be pretty marginal.
I’m noy sure whatvyou mean by experience piece here?
But yeah, I think I agree. if tariffs hit particularly hard it could definitely still go up, given how sweeping the proposed tariffs are and that shipping itself is probably going to get more expensive as a result. Probably everything is going to get more expensive.
Tariff uncertainty has been in the air since the US election, it’d be wild for them to not atleast consider it in their pricing decisions.
The 4 through holes I would guess are mainly intended for weight reduction and to make the heat treament go a bit smoother, but also have a side benefit that you could run a bolt through them in order to attach it to a larger more complicated fixturing setup.
I’m pretty sure it is a cylindrical square and was someone’s shop project in tradeschool or as an apprentice, or just from a slow day.
If the picture is mirrored it could be a Torq-set, but the offset is reversed.

Edit: after reading that its on a frying pan, it is definitely a stripped out philips head.
Sadly, even there; it would’ve been better if he didn’t
That’s not an answer. What should he have done? How do you prevent the cold war in February of 1945?
Oh. The Yalta Myth, I should’ve guessed. A contender for the founding enemy within type myth for the modern American far right.
What do you think they should have done instead? Immediately gone to war with the Soviets? Congrats! WW3 is much worse than the cold war.
The Soviets already held nearly the entirety of Poland by the time of the Yalta conference. The rest of the allies probably couldn’t have done anything to prevent that level of Soviet imperialism, even militarily. See: operation unthinkable, the korean war, the chinese civil war
A decent essay with citations, even if it is from a firmly neoconservative source. https://nationalinterest.org/article/the-yalta-myth-1052
An article from an american liberal source, responding to the same W. Bush Speech as the previous essay, and whose talking points you echo. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2005/05/what-really-happened-at-yalta.html
Finally, to round it out; a pair of articles by Alger Hiss, who attended the Yalta conference, and who was later investigated by McCarthy’s House Unamerican Activities Committee, specifically by then rising star Richard Nixon. One from the 50s: https://algerhiss.com/alger-hiss/in-his-own-words/yalta-modern-american-myth/ Another from the 80s: https://algerhiss.com/alger-hiss/in-his-own-words/two-yalta-myths/
FDR died before the end of WW2? How would any betrayal of the US allies post WW2 be on him?

I keep one of these sheets around when running 3.5
I’m not sure what your point is? Assad wasn’t really stopping that, given that it seems turkey backed some militias that were able to mop him up in like a week with a surprise offensive.
Turkey has already been waging war against rojava for years now, and has been perpetrating a genocide against the kurds more broadly for decades. Their situation has always been dire, but its not over for them.
All the lefties I know were excited about rojava/ aanes. I’ve never met a lefty in real life that was pro assad, not saying they don’t exist, but like: fuck em, assad sucked.
We do really seem to be selecting for it based on who wins tho
I’m pretty sure they’re talking about astronomy. Wizards are supposed to do that right?
I don’t know that biden truly had the ability to stack the court, any justice he wanted to add would have to get through the senate. Which was only very narrowly held by the dems, and a pretty minimal amount of defections would have scuttled the plan entirely while also having broken the taboo. I don’t actually trust biden either, so the world in which biden destroys the democratic norms and seizes power in that way also is a really bad situation.
Supreme court shot down the 20k for pell grant recipients and 10k for non pell grant recipients plan, and basically said that at that scale should require congress. So all the smaller programs have been calibrated to try to survive the court battles.
A tariff on steel and aluminum will have much farther reaching consequences than guns. A specific tariff on smokeless powder is pretty unlikely, though maybe could be part of trying to ramp up domestic production. The US military is trying to make that happen, but that’s kind of the opposite of what you want.
Oh that’s what’s freaking them out?
