Look, I had no choice. It was in my brain and there was only one way out.

Headline: Mills won't release her medical records
Actual statement: Mills won't COMMIT TO release her medical records

And at this point, neither will Platner or Collins.

This is not a story.

Update: the beam is on the cribbing

We cut a hole in the floor upstairs, and positioned the engine hoist over it. Ran a chain through the hole, and used the shackle to lift the end of the beam.

Back at it again. A little pull with the comealong, a little push with the bobcat.
October 19, 2025 at 7:00 PM
So this is the idea. The shackle is positioned at the top of the beam so that it will tend to stay upright. The Bobcat controls one end, and we control the other end with various blocks, tools, and cleverness.

Shackle installed.

Hell yeah

Always a good day when I get to break out the mag drill.

These holes are to make it easier to get ahold of the I-beam later with winches, cranes, comealongs, etc. It’s quite heavy.

Dad milled a bunch of cribbing, which is going to support this I-beam, which in turn will support the post that’s over the bad part of the foundation.

Hello weather being, what sort of weather is all the sparkles on massachusetts and rhode island before the blobs get there?

It's extremely possible that the unsubscribe system was not built with high volumes of traffic in mind. The internet equivalent of an angry line of customers out the door.

But there’s one universal truth that unites us all (even the leftists)

Horseshoe theory is real because it is described by horseshoe theory.

But it is ESSENTIAL to understand that this only works when the argument is made IN PUBLIC. Because you're not trying to persuade the person to knock it off. You're trying to persuade the audience that THEY can say "come on man, knock it off"
