To America, From a Worried European Friend
A country convinced that it is irredeemably racist can’t lead the world as the ‘indispensable nation.’
By Daniel Schwammenthal.............Brussels
History and evolutionary biology teach us that the normal course of human affairs is tribalism, oppression and poverty. The emergence of liberal democracies isn’t the inevitable endpoint of supposedly linear Western progress but an aberration—and a rather fragile one at that.
This is why the rising illiberalism in the U.S. is so troubling. Activists who seem to understand George Orwell’s “1984” not as a warning but as a manual see free speech—the lifeblood of democracy and human betterment—as a fascist tool of oppression. Other classical liberal ideals—a colorblind society, rational discourse, the scientific method—suffer the same fate.
These unenlightened views have spread with lightning speed. Once confined to the campuses of the nation’s elite universities, they have moved into the mainstream of public discourse. America’s future leaders have been spoon-fed two theories born of Marxism. One is postmodernism, so called because it rejects the liberal ideas of modernity and the very notion of objective truth. The other is critical theory, which is preoccupied with uncovering hidden power structures that have supposedly stood in the way of a communist revolution.
These once-fringe theories have given rise to quasireligious dogmas that divide society into hierarchies of oppressor and oppressed, setting the stage for eternal societal strife. In this new cult, dissent or insufficient fervor is interpreted both as validation of the doctrine of ubiquitous racism and a punishable thought crime. As in medieval witch hunts, both denial and forced confessions prove the defendant’s guilt.
On the other end of the political spectrum we find right-wing populism, which imagines “pure people” taking on a corrupt elite, and of course the far right, with its Nazi infatuation. The wide availability of guns in the U.S. isn’t only a subject of dispute in the unfolding culture war but could help turn it deadly. Witness the recent synagogue shootings by real white supremacists. Anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism are obsessions shared by the far left and the far right. America is headed for unprecedented polarization and possibly civil unrest.
But why am I, a German Jew living in Brussels, so worried about U.S. domestic affairs? As the adage goes, when America sneezes, the rest of the world catches a cold. Right now America has pneumonia.
I learned to cherish the U.S. long before I had the privilege to live and study there. History can be very personal. What Madeleine Albright called the “indispens-able nation” meant the difference between life and death for my family. I was brought up in the firm knowledge that had it not been for those unimaginably brave American boys storming the beaches of Normandy, I wouldn’t have been born, and my parents and the rest of my people would have been extinguished. No doubt I’m leaving out entire libraries of nuance, but that is the quintessential truth.
America today is what it has always been: a flawed society, like all others, but also a unique force for good in the world. No other multiethnic, multireligious society can credibly claim to be more democratic, more prosperous and more just than the U.S.
But America can’t remain the leader of the free world if it is itself no longer free. To be the guarantor of Western security requires military and economic power, but also a sense of mission. And right now Americans are committing mass character suicide. If the country goes beyond acknowledging that racism and inequality persist and must be fought, and instead convinces itself that it’s inherently and irredeemably racist, it can’t possibly continue to believe that it has any right to lead. Such an America would reject the notion that the West is worth defending and regard Europe as also inherently oppressive. We know who will fill the vacuum left by an America in retreat and at war with itself. As they watch America’s self-immolation, leaders in Moscow, Beijing and Tehran surely can’t believe their luck.
Any functioning society must extend tribal loyalty beyond the ties of blood. Ethnicity and Christianity were the glue that helped hold the more homogenous European nation states together. America’s Founding Fathers laid the foundation of a society worthy of the motto “e pluribus unum”—out of many, one—by replacing ethnic and religious loyalties with liberal ideas and deist ideals. A shared loyalty to the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution allows Americans to see each other not as strangers but as fellow citizens.
Yes, the U.S. has not always lived up to its ideals. But to claim that the Founding’s “promissory note” was never anything but a scam to maintain a system of white oppression is ahistorical revisionism that will erode the country’s foundation.
European anti-Americanism constantly imagines the rise of fascism in the very country that defeated the real thing and constantly predicts the end of liberty in the world’s oldest democracy. I have always proudly opposed this view. But I am reminded now of Benjamin Franklin’s famous line: “A Republic, if you can keep it.” For the first time I have terrifying doubts.

Mothership
Mothership is a sci-fi horror RPG designed to invoke Alien-sy, Event Horizon-y, Space Odyssey-esque scenarios:
There’s a puncture in your vac suit, the ship AI is being no fucking help at all -- your handheld motion sensor is beginning to bleep, bleep, bleep-bleep-bleep-bleepbleepbleepbleep.
I’m not even into sci-fi RPGs all that much, but if I gave awards I’d give Mothership my “Best RPG Rule System 2018″ award.
+
The game’s basically a primer for collective design wisdom accrued in old-school-y, art-punk-y DIY RPG circles thus far?
It’s crazy-good at information design. The character sheet is a single A4-sized document that also includes all character creation rules.
Skills as a flowchart, holy shit. How has nobody done this before? (Have they?)
The Player’s Survival Guide is a 42-page, zine-sized pamphlet that has all the rules you need to play -- plus an NPC generator, a module-by-module ship generator, a d100 table for fun patches that you might’ve sewn onto your bag or jacket:
‘“All Out Of Fucks To Give” (Astronaut with turned out pockets)’
Simple, effective tone-setting.
+
Mothership is a percentile, d100, roll-under system. In my brain I’ve been comparing it to other d100 games I’ve played: WFRP (2nd Edition, onwards); the Fantasy Flight Warhammer 40K RPGs.
I have a bruised-papaya soft spot for these Warhammer games. (And their retroclones, like Zweihander.) But playing them is a chore. They tend to be overwritten messes.
Here’s the auspex (a kind of multipurpose scanner) from Dark Heresy 2E:
“ These standard Imperial detection devices are used to reveal energy emissions, motion, life-signs, and other information. A character using an auspex gains a +20 bonus to Awareness tests. Once per round, as a Free Action, a character with one may make a Tech-Use test to spot things not normally visible to human senses, such as invisible gases, nearby signs of life, non-visible radiation, or other things as appropriate. The standard range is 50m, though walls more than 50cm thick and certain shielding materials can block a scanner. Good craftsmanship models increase the bonus to +30, but Poor models an only penetrate 20cm of material. ”
1) AHHH WALL OF TEXT
2) For a long-ass entry it’s super vague. “ ... and other information.” “ ... or other things as appropriate.”
The auspex is less a piece of actual gear, more a tchotchke conferring an abstract +20 bonus to a system-specific skill. The most concrete detail about it is its can’t-penetrate 50cm-thick-walls thing.
+
Compare Mothership’s bioscanner:
“ Allows the user to scan the immediate area for signs of life. Generally can scan for 100m in all directions, without being blocked by most known metals. Can tell the location of signs of life, but not what that life is. ”
You have it? It isn’t broken? It does such-and-such concrete things in the world of the game.
The entry is terse but implies much. “Most known metals”. “Generally scans for 100m”. How can you boost your bioscanner’s range? Is it being blocked by alien alloys?
+
( Hooray for natural language! Less rules jargon means:
1) Things are intuitive to play and prep for, because your brain is less colonised by specialist nonsense language -- also making it easier to play creatively;
2) Play is focused on comprehending and manipulating the shared imagined space, not abstract numbers. You’ll be looking to favourably-stack the situation, not your situation bonus. )
+
Dead Planet is the inaugural adventure module for Mothership:
a derelict-spaceship dungeon; a town of colourful, cannibalistic, doomed characters; an incursion from the dimension of the dead; a mooncrawl and a planetcrawl and a abandoned-base dungeon and tables for nightmares and warp-drive malfunctions and tables for generating NPCs and derelict spaceships and and and
Crazy how much stuff there is, in a mere 48 zine-sized pages.
And basically everything is great. To wit:
Every RPG person I know who’s talked about Mothership mentions this drop-a-bunch-of-d6s-and-arrange-them procedure to map spaceship dungeons.
How it suggests creating hidden ducts - if any two d6 faces add up to 7, those two rooms are connected by a secret passages - is genius. If this isn’t stolen and repurposed for dungeons general in whatever genre RPG people are dumb.
+
When Sharon flipped through Dead Planet she said: “Person who designed layout in this probably worked in magazines before.” Scumfuck staticky space horror blood-red Vogue.
( Asked Sean McCoy, who did the layout -- and wrote the damn game, alongside Donn Stroud and Fiona Geist -- and he said no, he’s not done magazine work before. Once again: hooray for the DIY RPG scene, and the envelopes we are pushing. )
+
So far, Mothership’s community’s been excellent. They’ve voted it /rpg’s Game of the Month.
It’s got a jumping Discord, one that outputs player-made stuff like this:
FUCKING SEXY.
When I have time to run games again I know what I’m running.
+
GET IT HERE. (Considering that the Player’s Survival Guide is a pay-what-you-want PDF on DrivethruRPG you really have no excuse.)

If you're looking for the best Star Wars action figures to collect, you've come to the right place. Here are some of the most iconic figures, and why you should pick them up. First, let's talk about the Yak Face action figure, which Kenner discontinued in 1985. The figure's condition is excellent and is still in its original packaging. The figure, which costs $4,199, is a near-mint condition and comes in the box that was originally enclosed in it. Kenner discontinued the Yak Face action figure in 1985The Yak Face action figure was produced by Kenner in the 1980s. It was originally a double-telescoping action figure but was later changed to a single-telescoping design. A single-telescoping version can now fetch over $2,000 in mint condition. Although Kenner discontinued the Yak Face in 1985, a few of the later versions remain in the market today. If you are looking for an excellent, affordable toy to collect, you can consider buying a Yak Face toy. Darth VaderIn my opinion, Darth Vader is one of the best action figures in the Star Wars universe, and this is reflected by the fact that his figure is so accurate to the film. While Hasbro's Darth Vader figure is excellent, its helmet sculpt is poor and it is a little hard to pose. Despite the nice detailing inside the helmet, this Darth Vader figure falls short in a few key areas, such as being too short and having an inaccurate helmet sculpt. C-3POCollectors of Star Wars can't go wrong with C-3PO. This iconic droid comes in a variety of sculpts and sizes. The C-3PO figure is the most detailed of all. He has a fake beard and is vac metalized. The bandolier that he wears is removable. This action figure also comes with an optional hand part that allows for even more articulation. Jango FettIf you are looking for the best Star Wars action figures to collect, then Jango Fett is probably a good choice. Fett was a former Jedi, who was taught by his father, Mandalorian Jaster Mereel. Together, they served as Journeyman Protectors on the planet Concord Dawn. The rumors of Fett's origins were never dispelled, and they even served as his mentor and support system. ThrawnIf you love Star Wars, then you know that one of the best Starwars action figures to collect is Thrawn. Although Thrawn was erased from the history of the galaxy, he was brought back in 2016 and he has been one of the best-selling action figures ever. This figure is incredibly detailed and comes with multiple points of articulation. This figure also comes with several accessories, including a lightsaber, helmet, and Jedi Temple Guard mask. AmanamanThe Kenner Last 17 Amanaman Starwars Action Figure is the most improbable alien figure to date. The 4.5" tall figure is totally bare, unlike Chewbacca, who is fully clothed in his pouch and bandolier. While Sy Snotles and Droopy McCool sport clothing as well, Joh Yowza is completely bare--and furry! Perhaps it's best not to compare this alien to his human counterparts, because Jabba's Palace seems to have quite liberal dress codes. Vinyl-caped JawaWhile the first wave of Jawa action figures were released with a thin vinyl cape similar to that worn by Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi, the second wave changed that to a sewn cloth robe. This move was likely made because Kenner feared that vinyl-caped Jawa figures would be unattractive to collectors. In response to this, the manufacturers added the cloth robe in an effort to make the figure seem more expensive.

Übrigens: In Wahrheit haben wir diesmal mehr als nur eine gute Nachricht erhaltenBesser hätte sich Hollywood das nicht ausmalen können: Ausgerechnet jetzt, da sich mehr Menschen anstecken als je zuvor, darf die Menschheit vorsichtig einen ersten Erfolg im Kampf gegen das Ungetüm feiern. Weil Corona im Herbst mit solch enormer Wucht zurückkehrte, schien die gesamte Hoffnung aus dem Sommer schon verloren. Normalität ade. Weitere verheerende Lockdowns mit Unruhen in der Gesellschaft und Kahlschlägen in der Wirtschaft wirkten fast unausweichlich. Und vor allem: Es war erst einmal kein Ende abzusehen.n Wahrheit haben wir diesmal eine doppelt gute Nachricht erhalten. Kurz vor dem Ziel steht jetzt nicht nur irgendein Impfstoff, sondern mit ihm auch eine neue Technologie. Statt wie früher das Immunsystem mit Bestandteilen des Virus selbst zu schärfen, wird dabei lediglich dessen genetischer Bauplan kopiert und dann den Menschen injiziert. Der Impfstoff ist auf diese Weise nicht nur günstig herzustellen und künftig ��vielleicht gar lokal ähnlich wie im 3-D-Drucker zu »drucken«; die Methode könnte sogar die gesamte Impfwelt revolutionieren.Entwickelt hat den Stoff außerdem nicht irgendein Start-up rund um amerikanische Elite-Unis wie Harvard, sondern ein junges deutsches, von einem Migrantenehepaar gegründetes Unternehmen namens BioNTech. Die Chefs lehren an der Universität Mainz. Und ihre an der New Yorker Technologiebörse geführte Firma wird gerade zum Weltstar, der im Übrigen nicht allein dasteht. CureVac aus Tübingen meldet mit einer ähnlichen Technologie ebenfalls erste Testerfolge. So zeigen die Medizinforscher und die Milliardäre, die sie finanzieren, gerade den Internetgründern, was in Deutschland möglich ist. Der Standort dürfte vom neuen Interesse internationaler Investoren und Forscher profitieren. (uwe Jean Heuser, Die Zeit)

Work Holding
Working with any material in any working environment, there are two main points to review when talking about work holding. Work height and orientation. If you cannot have your material in the location and orientation your work becomes increasingly less enjoyable and less comfortable. For discussion purposes, this blog will lean towards woodworking as that is Andy’s expertise and the main industry for the Festool Vac-Sys Vacuum clamping system but a lot of these points and discussion topics can be cross related to almost all other industries that require someone to hold a piece of material or part in place and complete a task with it.
There are a variety of different levels of woodworking shops that can be categorized into four levels. The beginner, weekend warrior, professional, and the production shop. Between these three levels you will find various different grades of equipment and abilities. Obviously the professional shop will have the bells and whistles but maybe a little more specific while the beginner will have exactly that. An introductory set of equipment and a more broad brush for applications. The production shop will have dedicated equipment for the repetitive tasks that they do. Typically this equipment is extremely specialized and expensive. It is meant to do a task efficiently and to the correct specifications. We can’t forget about the contractor on the job-site!
Festool 203148 vacuum unit VAC SYS System
.
Work holding equipment is an extremely large and creative category. You can see clamps, bench vises, large vacuum tables, specialized equipment for dog holes, etc. All of these options have their own pros and cons but we have received an ultimate work holding piece of equipment in the shop that can apply to just about all categories. It is pricey so it maybe out of the reach for the beginner or weekend warrior but that is to be discussed later.
Festool Vac-Sys Vacuum Clamping System
An incredible way to harness the power of vacuum to hold your material in the orientation and the height you desire. Festool released their Vac-Sys Clamping Sytem March 1st 2016 and has been a show stopper ever since. “The Vac-Sys provides fast, easy, and highly maneuverable solutions for almost any clamping application” said Steve Rangoussis with Festool and we could agree more. The system relies on a vacuum pump to apply vacuum to the two clamping modules. We have the Vac-Sys System Set which includes the Vacuum pump (VAC-PMP) Vacuum clamping unit (VAC SyS SE1) and the Clamping module (Vac-SyS SE2). This full system allows you to clamp extremely large objects such as doors, counter tops, or anything that requires two points of work holding. The main clamping module (Vac-Sys SE1) has an integrated foot pedal to release your material from the clamping force. It essential allows atmosphere to enter the system again eliminating the vacuum and holding power of the system. The user can quickly attach and remove their material from the units utilizing the foot pedal and the green plunger that is in the middle of the clamping cups. This green plunger gets depressed allowing the vacuum to have access to the clamping cups. With your material making a tight seal, the vacuum give some intense holding power to your material. The unit can be held down to the table with clamps, screws, or the integrated vacuum clamping on the bottom.
The clamping head can be rotated a full 360 degrees and/or can be tilted from 0-90 degrees.
Features and Specifications:
Includes:
Vacuum Pump
Vacuum clamping unit
Clamping module
Can hold up to 200 pounds
Two different shaped clamping cups
Various accessories and clamping cups available
Vacuums to your work surface
Foot pedal to release the vacuum

Setting Up and How To Use
Setting up the Festool Vacuum clamping system is extremely easy. You first need to decide how you would like to hold the units down to your work surface. You can utilize the vacuum bases on the units themselves but will need a nice smooth and nonporous surface. You can screw it down with some wood screws or even clamp it down. It will depend on how often you will use it and how much space you have. For a dedicated space in a shop, securing it down with screws to your work surface is the best option. If you are in a shop where you have to tear it down quite often , like a weekend warrior or a regular shop without dedicated space for the setup, you can use the vacuum base or screw it to a piece of wood and then clamp the wood to your work surface. This is equally applicable to the person on the job-site. Festool also offers an accessory for quickly attached and removing from the MFT tables.
Once the unit is secured to your work surface, you simply need to turn on the vacuum pump and place your material on the clamping cups. Apply a little force to complete the seal on the clamping cups. This force will also depress the green plunger we discussed earlier. That will also the vacuum pump to remove the atmosphere in the clamping cup and apply an intense amount of clamping force to your material. You can either manipulate the clamping head before or after placing your material on. We find it easy to do it after with small pieces of material and before with larger ones. When you would like to remove the material, press you foot on the foot pedal to release the vacuum clamping force. The plunger will reseal the system and the pump will begin to build vacuum again and ready for your next clamping needs.
Fast, Easy, Simple
The Festool vacuum clamping system is extremely fast, easy, and simple to operate. This is exactly what everyone wants from any product. The vacuum clamping system is extremely fast. It allows a user to switch between clamping one part to another in a blink of an eye. The system is extremely easy and simple to setup and operate. This means that there is minimal training and risk with new employees and gets them focused on the actual task at hand rather than learning a new piece of equipment.
Applications and Uses
Oh boy! Where do we start! In a woodworking shop, typically the middle to the end of a project is when parts need to be held for sanding, scraping, planing, chiseling, etc. Cabinet doors, custom shapes, full sized doors, small parts, repetitive tasks, etc are all tasks that are common parts in a woodworking shop.
On the job-site, a finish carpenter or installer may need to hold some doors to trim them to size. The Festool Vacuum System is the perfect on the job-site clamping system. It is small and portable, easy and fast to setup, and is quiet. The vacuum pump barely makes any noise so it is perfect for the occupied space.
Two major applications that we believe this unit can pay for itself in efficiency and comfortably is edge banding and large man door work.

Conclusion
The Festool Vacuum Clamping System is expensive. We believe that expense is an investment to both your, your labor force, and your products. It will make completing the required task faster, make it more enjoyable, and allow you to get better results (over a long stretch of time).

Druckertisch selber bauen
Druckertisch selber bauen
Freunde von mir benötigen einen Druckertisch mit Platz für Zubehör und Faxgerät. Dieser Tisch soll genau in eine Nische passen mit den Maßen 1100 x 500 x 700 mm. Solche Tisch sind nicht in diesen Maßen zu kaufen und so bot ich mich an einen solchen zu bauen. Für die Tischplatte und Seitenteile habe ich furnierte MP gewählt, 20mm stark. Diese Teile hat mein Holzhändler auf der Plattensäge zugeschitten.Die Tischbeine sollten aus Vollholz sein. Dazu hat mir der Holzhändler Buchenbretter, 52mm stark und 2050 mm lang, in 3 Stücke aufgetrennt. Das konnte er auf der Plattensäge und so brauche ich keine Abrichte für die kurzen Stücke. Für das Auftrennen war ich sehr dankbar, denn in meiner kleinen Werkstatt wäre es nur schwer möglich gewesen. So habe ich exakt zugeschnittene Furnierteile und bearbeitbare Buchenteile bekommen.Zu hause habe ich zunächst eine Echtholzkante mit der CONTURO aufgefahren. Das VAC-SYS war dabei eine große Hilfe. Echtholzkanten aufzufahren ist nicht ganz einfach. Die Echtholzkannte ist sehr unflexibel und nicht mit einer ABS-Kante zu vergleichen. Die ersten 10 cm sind kritisch. Wenn man hier nicht sofort nachdrückt, löst sich die Kante etwas und das Ergebnis ist nicht zufriedenstellend.Dies benötigt Übung und Erfahrung. Und ja, ich habe schon sehr viel Kante aufgefahren. Der Kantenanleimer von Festool ist schon ein guter Begleiter für diese Arbeit. Billig ist das Gerät nicht, doch den Preis allemal wert.

Man, this sounds like a comic. Swarmed down; stripped and a buddy kicked to death. Now the venger strikes back; using cameras, GPS data from stolen items, cams and taser-torture.
Using oil (cold-pressed salad-dressing cannabis-seed oil ) as a hair treatment. Incredibly good results after a 3 minutes comb-thru. (Yes, i cut my own hair and need all the help I can get)
really looks like trump is trying to milk the riots. (Along with the looters.) Tantrum democrats can’t tell girls from boys still, tho. Both sides should avoid small planes.
Tried to patreon jollyjack (read his online stuff twice. A one time book buy, yes, not a forever 1/month rollover) AND get some cash to gumroad-com for horro comics (just as ya remember ‘em!)
failed both times. (strike three, i’m out.) Cheap to the bone, that’s me.
Viral vacuum; hep, aids and covid. (they hide in DNA; immune sys, skin cells and blood vessel lining.) ew. Over-load and death by zombieism as everything leaps out.) ok, overload-stress is caused by food, sunshine, radioactivity, pollution, (mercury in vacs)... EW!
Gonna be an interesting autumn as food supplies dwindle.
