  • Going solar for clothes drying

  • My house had a clothesline in the backyard at one point, but by the time I bought it all that was left were a couple of rusted, broken-off pole bottoms embedded in surprisingly deep concrete. I managed to dig one up, but the other is still a tripping hazard in my lawn. 😕

  • ‘I love you, sir’: Todd Blanche, devoted Trump enforcer, tapped to do his bidding full time

    Jump

  • Apropos of nothing, did you know that, while the president himself gets secret service protection, many of the cronies he relies on to do his bidding do not? Just a funny observation.

  • I also have one like that somewhere.

  • Broken speaker? Finicky zipper? Anticonsumerist Repair Cafes urge you to fix it instead of pitch it

    Jump

  • I found my pair* of Brother color laser MFPs on Craigslist, being listed by a small business that was getting rid of them. I think you'll have a lot better luck finding them via some method like that than by checking thrift shops.

    That said, they are pretty giant, being designed for small/medium office use. However, I'm not sure there even is such a thing as a "small" color laser, since they inherently have to contain four sets of rollers instead of just one.

    (* if you find somebody selling more than one of the same model, definitely get two so you have one for spare parts.)

  • the larger gauge wires were to carry more current required by the old halogen bulb and are unnecessarily large for an LED light

    To be fair, just because the controlling factor is mechanical strength rather than current capacity doesn't mean the need for heavier gauge wire isn't legitimate.

  • Trump weighs buying another territory after Greenland fiasco: report

  • The UK stole those islands from the Chagossians. The UK doesn't have the right to sell them to the US or anyone else to begin with!

  • Sony/Yoti reporting users to authorities for using GrapheneOS

  • We can (and should) just stop buying Sony items however as they are not doing so great on that front already.

    Waaay ahead of ya there, buddy. I've been deliberately boycotting Sony since at least the rootkit in 2005, and I think the newest Sony product I actually bought was a Walkman cassette player.

    Trouble is, Sony somehow still went right on existing as a huge multinational corporation for the last 20 years anyway. It's almost as if boycotts aren't enough and we actually need consumer protection law. 🤔

  • Revoke Sony's corporate charter? Ban Sony products from being imported? Criminally charge the CEO and board?

  • The only thing "conservatives" ever conserve, ever have conserved, or ever even intended to conserve, is hierarchical power. Conservatism only happens to line up with "preserving that which currently exists" in the sense that, when conservatism was initially developed, the system that currently existed was monarchy.

    Make no mistake: under any system but monarchy/dictatorship, "conservatives'" single purpose will always be to transform it into monarchy/dictatorship as switftly, radically, and even recklessly as they can possibly manage.

  • Waterproofing PETG prints?

  • Locally, I’ve not been able to find anything that is certified food safe, only various epoxy fillers and primers for boats.

    Call the manufacturer of the locally-available epoxies and ask them what they recommend.

    I went looking for contact info for one common brand as an example, but found instead this product support article that suggests, to me at least, that their "limited food contact"-rated epoxies would be good enough for your use-case.

    (I never did find a phone number or email for product support, but they do at least have a chat widget, so... 🤷)

  • California Passes Backdoor Bill to Control the 3D Printing Hobby and Spy on Small Designers, Prototypers, and Hobbyists

  • It's not.

    And now you see the real motivation behind the bill: killing Free Software (and empowerment of individuals to own their means of production in general).

    How sad that you're so desperately grasping at straws in order to simp for corporations.

  • It has to do with EVs in the sense that (practically speaking) every single one of them is new enough to be infested with surveillance, so (unlike with ICE) there's no option to avoid it by going with an old vehicle.

    Also, nobody gives a shit about new ICE cars, so there's no point in mentioning them when they weren't within the realm of consideration to begin with.
