I am kind of sitting here mouth agape as I realize that the thing that really got eight Democrats to cave was a provision which provides backdoor criminal and civil immunity to them personally by making it functionally impossible to ever investigate the Senate
read the actual bill text and this is quite literally a provision designed solely to impede civil and criminal investigations into United States Senators and their staff. www.appropriations.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

they're calling it the "i'm rubber you're glue act"
Giving the entire senate blanket immunity right as the admin is trying to kick into gear its “let’s try criminalizing all former enemies of the president” phase lmfao

dawg how many of them went to the island
The proposed cave in bill that the senate passed includes a Frankenstein section that basically makes it impossible to prosecute sitting senators for a whole gamut of criminal acts and even gives them grounds to sue people who try to prosecute them lol

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

chat, I feel like I keep seeing semi-standardized mounts for "size 130 dc motors", but I cannot seem to find them googling around and I'm not super knowledgeable about the terminology used around them in the hobby space.

TIL the tale of the Edmund Fitzgerald is one of corporate malfeasance and worker endangerment.
SS Edmund Fitzgerald had a structural defect in its keel. Sailors on that ship had complained about the ship bending and flexing during storms, especially when it was overloaded, which it usually was. They had also found old keel weld breaks due to structural fatigue, which were never repaired
