Using epoxy to glue back together a Shimano toe clip; this goes on Shimano's triangular-shaped semi-platform road pedals from the 80's. I'll trim the excess glue after. Wilton bench vise is a $5 #estatesales find.

Now that Trump has begun cutting Europe (especially Ukraine) off from intelligence sharing, Europe can dedicate far more energy to figuring out how Russia got Trump to capitulate.
Since all his OTHER bribery is in plain sight, I suspect any RU bribery is lurking just below the surface.

Elon Musk and Donald Trump are actively undermining the Social Security Administration by laying off 7,000 workers, closing offices, and pushing out experienced staff.
Experts WARN that this could cause a “system collapse” within 30-90 days.

Salt caves 2000 feet underground in New Mexico hold the radioactive nuclear waste from US defense projects. It's the world's only deep geologic repository.

Picked up off of CL
It took forever to locate a shouldered rear axle that would work with the rear cartridge bearing hub.

Another thrift shop find:
Konica Autoreflex T with 57mm and 135mm lenses. It was jammed when I got it and it took a fair amount of fiddling and De-Oxit to restore normal advance and release.

A lucky trader just happened to put in a $200m trade with 50x leverage a few hours before a Trump pro-crypto announcement. The price of crypto jumped and this person made hundreds of millions. Pure luck I’m sure.

I strongly suspect shutting down USDS and 18F was about securing the Doggie-boyz digital coup, since USDS and 18F were supporting everyone else with, amongst other things, protocols and procedures designed to block insider attacks.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
