Found this but I don’t know how credible it is. From around the same time.

Article says numbers written, title says branded.

It’s not good, nothing about this is. However, I’m not seeing actual hot branding to foreheads.

Looks like Ruger is not a part of this other than them buying Marlin who did it back in the day.

I’d watch the fuck out of that.

Like, no. All sorts of carbide bits, including drill bits.

Lot of tungsten producers and recyclers in the US, kennemetal for instance. They would be happy to come get that cube, might have to crack it into smaller pieces.

My presentation had the Russian video where the kid gets wrapped up around a bar. Also had the pictures from where the guy got wrapped around a chuck and there is an eyeball sitting on top of the pile.

The manual lathe is the most dangerous piece of equipment in a shop in terms of fatalities. They cannot be made ‘safe’. You can only train people how to use them safely and not put idiots on them.

I’ve seen the chuck key of shame used and support its use. My rule was one chuck key fuckup, second offense, immediate termination.

I used to have a safety presentation on lathes. It was called, “The Happy Fun Lathe Safety Presentation.” Kittens and puppies on the title and chock full of gore.

SPEAK UP, F**ET! FADDER CAN’T HEAR YOU!

Spacedicks was a terrible place full of terrible people, but I still feel like something has been lost.

I might die if I couldn’t cuss while working. I’d just fucking explode.

I cuss during job interviews, both as the interviewer and applicant.

Thank you for bringing this up. Anytime this fuckwit is allowed back in the public eye, this should be right at the top to help invalidate the shit he spews.

Shh. Only dreams now.

Sorry for your loss. FWIW, pipe smoke isn’t inhaled and has much lower cancer rates than cigarette smoking. It’s lower risk, not no risk.

Thems fighten words. I don’t smoke any churchwardens. Among pipe smokers, you’re usually dealing with a particular type of socially tone deaf nerd when they smoke a churchwarden and start talking about pipe weed. You need to be at least 60 and fully grey to pull off a churchwarden.

Ehh. IDK if that would be bad or good for Linux. More choices against the possibility of weaker teams/poorer code. Even if things did fragment for a while, one version likely comes out on top and everyone migrates slowly back together.

Interwebs and tech seems to route around this sort of thing.

No clue how all this shakes out. Not real invested in this ideological/bureaucratic slap fight.

It’s always entertaining when Linus flames off.

If it’s true, it’s likely socioeconomic. Relatively expensive start up cost, bag or tin of pipe tobacco usually costs more than a pack of cigarettes. Tends to select for wealthier users with better healthcare.

It’s not inhaled so the cancer risk is lower than cigarettes. But, yeah, it’s not healthy.

Pipe tobacco is amazing. It can be very complex after aging.

The average pipe smoker lives longer than the average non smoker.

And pipe tobacco! I have a collection of tobacco blends I’m aging.

Use my vape (with rechargeable batteries) for addiction maintenance.

Tobacco is too pleasurable a luxury to give up. Harm reduction is the way to go for me.

Crawdads. Tasty with some hot sauce.

I still blast this in my truck occasionally. Especially around a bunch of chump signs. Still wearing my boots and leather. Any day is a good day to punch a nazi.

Howdy! Welcome to Lemmy! Thank you for responding.

I’ve never had a kidney stone and hope I never do. Paternal grandfather would get them.

You’re a sick fuck. Probably be in good company here. I was up all night working on a presentation for our local BDSM community.

From what I know about sounding: Purchase quality stainless sounds. They should be passivated and have a high polish. They should be boiled for sterilization and you should use sterile lube. Go slow, they should slip in by their own weight, don’t force them. Lot of guys get a whole lot of pleasure from them.

Personally, I have a double urethra. Two holes inside the slit of my cock. Like an over-under shotgun, if that makes sense. No way in hell I’m trying sounding. Have been cathed in the hospital, both tubes join into one somewhere back in there.
