No shit it was. He wants to run for president and he knows that stunt will make headlines but this will be buried in comments where the headline is “16 democrats vote for trump nominee” (aka exactly what is happening here)

Booker is classic neoliberal, no ethics or morals, guided by money and power. 10-15 years ago he was deeply in the pocket of the pharmaceutical industry because they are huge in NJ. Then his aspirations went higher and he realized that association was harmful, at that point he had connections that made him no longer reliant on their cash, so he shed them. It’s not growth, it’s a calculated move

I’ve never done a cutter but I mounted a pen to my printer to make into an plotter

You pretty much just have to make a carriage that can hold whatever the thing is and then dial in z depth. I would imagine the hard part for a cutter is getting enough force to cut but not so much that you mangle shit, but that’s probably just experimenting a bit. You’ll need some kind of cutting mat to put on the bed I would think

I knew someone that had a cricut and that was just a xy cutter that used a few different tool heads. It had one that looked like an exacto knife and one that looked like a pizza cutter but I don’t know what their functions were, I think vinyl vs fabric?

Good fucking luck

Service manuals often aren’t even made anymore let alone wiring diagrams. This is a bigger discussion of things being made to be repairable. It’s one thing if you’re discussing a car (which are increasingly being built like hostile tech, thanks tesla), but your phone/console/laptop/appliance/etc?

Best case scenario it’s made with a few sub assemblies that are designed to be swapped out instead of fixing them. why diagnose the 1 cent capacitor that’s shorting on your phone motherboard and swap it out? That would create skilled labor, save your data, create opportunities for local small businesses, and prevent e waste. Instead let’s just swap the motherboard, or more likely just junk the phone altogether and make it a parts phone so it can be used for someone who needs a new lcd/battery/casing down the line. As a result apple will buy it off of you for $100 (only if you buy a new phone too though, store credit) as a result even though you paid 800 2 years ago and the remaining parts are worth $400 second hand easily

That’s why even when you can get these docs they’re largely worthless. Apple shares their support docs with their self repair program (though you need a current model serial number to access, not freely available). But it’s what’s described above. If you want to change the lcd? Helpful. If you want to fix a boot loop and persevere your flash? Go fuck yourself unless you have backups

I have an outdoor wok burner for this reason. It was about $130, runs on a propane tank, and works amazingly well. The price has gone up a bit since and probably will go up considerably more with tariff bullshit but highly recommend

It’s also called a powerflamer, which I find quite comical. I just looked it up and the base model is $150 now, so not that much more. The website looks sketch but the guy is legit. Outdoorstirfry.com. Takes awhile to ship because I’m pretty sure it’s literally just one guy running the whole thing.

The legs are sketchy as fuck. I got an old aluminum prep table off Craigslist and cut a hole in it with a dremel. Much sturdier, can put the tank and stuff on the bottom, and I put a charcoal grill and a flat top on it too. Now I can do robata too. I cook outside more than inside.

If you did this when you came back it would be the objectively better half. More filling density at the expense of being harder to store

I figured it was something like this, wok burner is about BTU to a degree but also about flame spread. If you have a very high BTU burner with the wrong flame spread it wound work as well as a decently lower BTU burner with a flame spread like what’s pictured. It’s why using a wok on a traditional western gas burner sucks

Sure thing

FWIW I am in America, if that helps. And for America I found it helps immensely to be in a city. Which is obvious, probably. But since I moved to a less urban area I’m a few hours from the nearest recycler and the closest one never has anything good; whereas the one by me in the city was a 20m drive and always had great shit from various offices shutting down throughout the city and places from basically a 1-2hr drive radius. They would make the drive to clear out a building of gear
