@pkell7 @NombreHueco @BronskiJoseph 😂 a Lego set? Seriously? 😂

In that theoretical design, I concede it would work but I've never seen anything like it. I've worked aircraft rigging, automotive/farm equipment and industrial and never seen anything like it. Vacuum cleaners and sewing machines use something like that but nothing that complex. I think they just use round belts to minimize contamination causing the belt to come offtrack.

I've been a mechanic for over 50 years and a single continuous belt can not do what that picture shows. Just goes to prove once again you're theoretical book smarts PhD has little practical use in the real world. The only way to make that diagram work is with multiple belts but then it would show the return path for each of them. Before you dig yourself in a deeper hole with a retort, go move one of the pulleys on your car's serpentine belt outward, then start your car and watch it walk itself off the other pulleys.

Sad how lazy kids are today. When I was young, we'd listen to the radio to see if our school was closed. Soon as we heard it was, we all rushed out the door and competed to get shoveling jobs. If you were fast enough, you could get the long or double wide driveways that paid more. The whole neighborhood was done in just a few hours. Shoveling snow and mowing lawns our whole childhood was how we all got our first cars by the time we were 16. Parents didn't buy their kids cars back then. I've never had a car payment in my life. Work hard, earn interest, never pay interest!!! Younger generation wonders why their poor.

I'm probably going to take today off. I didn't see any charts I liked this weekend and I pushed my luck Friday buying something stupid and getting lucky selling this morning premarket for a quick profit. Sometimes it's better to just sit back and reset and not force things.

@jilasi24 @HowThingsWork_ Plus it's just floating above the frost line and is going to be moving up/down. If it's something small like a shed, okay. I sink my posts 3-4 feet for my tractor barns, shops etc.

@epictrades1 Wait until the 4th quarter. Then every 3rd down the flags will be flying.

@Breaking911 Give them their own nation then and wall it off from the true nation. Violent crime would instantly drop 60% according to FBI statistics, welfare and Medicaid costs would plummet. Heck, the USA could be in budget surplus almost immediately.

@elonmusk Could that be because spouses and ex-spouses can collect social security based on their spouse instead of their own work history? Just trying to think of possible reasons.

@Breaking911 Doesn't do us much good if we can't refine them. Nobody wants refineries in their back yard and refining rare earths is dirty.

@SpencerHakimian @elonmusk 😂

We pay generals like CEOs but then don't allow them to budget their own funds limiting them to"colors of money" (at least in the Air Force). There's flying money, base support, beautification, MWR, etc. Every year it seemed, we ran out of flying money and had leftover beautification and other nonsense money so we would repaint the whole base, order unneeded headsets, etc because of "use it or lose it" budget rules where next year's budget was what you spent plus an inflation bump. We wasted money yet couldn't do our primary mission the last couple months of each fiscal year. If we're going to pay generals like CEOs, then give them an overall budget and let them portion it out as needed and hold them accountable. Also give them incentives to save money instead of having everyone trying to spend every last penny so they get more next year.

RT @BobEUnlimited: Stock market valuations are at multi-decade highs even if we exclude high flying tech.

@RealEJAntoni To be expected after the UAW and other unions get ridiculous pay increases. Only recourse is to use less labor. Automate or offshore.

@IanJaeger29 Already have to here but it's a red county in a red flyover state.

@SpencerHakimian @DavidSacks You have been making the best memes. I've been stealing them for days!!!! 😁

@FCNightingale That looks like the old barracks I lived in at Lowry AFB in Denver in the 1980s. I wonder if that's what it is? One bedroom, shared bathroom between 2 rooms, no cooking facilities.
