  • Yeah people just care about bread on the table and the roof over their head. Telling 150 million voting Americans to care about the world is falling on early 100 million deaf ears.

    75 million don’t care, or actively dislike anybody outside the US.

    Another 38 million only care as long as it’s convenient. And right now it’s not convenient.

    Maybe 10-15 million are anti Republican because they’re lgbtq+.

    Of the 150 million voters, 80 million are voting on a single issue. And for many of them, it’s either for or against abortion.

    We’ve been supplying the West with a military for decades. We put more in to our ministry, and by extension every NATO member country’s military than the rest of NATO combined. We don’t have social programs, no healthcare, no child care, under funded education, no paid sick leave, no parental leave. We have a big shiney military.

    People can’t afford to take a day off for the flu and they’re supposed to care about Europe?

    Big ask mate. People here care about how they’re doing today and tomorrow. Not Ukraine 6 months from now.

    Drill bits are coated in tungsten carbide. Sometimes. There are a variety of coatings.

    The drill bits you’re buying at the big box store are high speed still with some kind of coating to help them last a little longer. The specialty drill bits you’re buying for working on metal are also HSS with a different coating and probably different tip geometry.

    End mills are milling/lathe inserts can be HSS or carbide, also with some tungsten coating. Importantly, these are sintered, and made out of dust.

    Tungsten carbide is waaaay too brittle to work as a drill bit.








  • Kinda depends how you like your potatoes. I generally like them a little lumpy, but I think the twelve or so of us in the lumpy crew nationwide lose that fight every Thanksgiving.

    But! The ineffective ass potato masher does a real good job of breaking up ground meat in to super tiny bits in the pan for stuff like Taco meat.
