What are the magic search terms for these things? I went searching for such to adapt my porter cable batteries to craftsman (since they're all Stanley black and decker) but I didn't find anything. Looked on thingiverse too. I'm ready to print up the adapters! This lock in sucks!

And this is why we have a housing shortage. Because it's in the financial interests of owners to restrict the building of housing.
This is me. I live in LA, near Hollywood. I pay 3k/month in rent for a 1200sq ft 2br apartment that's close to everything.
A condo similar to my apartment (it was a condo conversion of a building similar to mine) in my neighborhood sold for almost a million this past year. That's about 6k/month all in w/ taxes and whatnot, not including maintenance costs.
Why the fuck would I pay double to own the same thing, and lose all my flexibility, when I take that 3k difference every month and invest it. Which builds wealth too. Sure, my investments may not be as inflation protected as a home, but they're a lot more fucking liquid. And I can move in 30 days no unsold house hanging over my head.
I will admit that I am not totally aware of the value of the land of the West Bank vs Gaza. But from what I've been reading and watching these few months on the history of the conflict, it seems that at some point the PLO stopped being violent after the second Infatada and Hamas took over Gaza and pushed them out to the West Bank. And ever since then the West Bank has been slowly carved up more and more by Jewish settlements, effectively making the Palestinian land in the WB never able to be contiguous, and thus making it impossible for there to be a Palestinian state to be formed there.
So if the WB land is valuable to the Israelis, I cannot see how Gaza wouldn't be even more valuable. As Gaza has access to the sea, and there's all the recently found offshore gas fields that would fall into Gaza's EEZ if it ever were to be recognized as the Palestinian state.
So I don't get why they'd disengage and leave Gaza alone when it's valuable land, but they will also for obvious reasons never stop the blockade of Gaza. As an outsider that leans to the left, it seems like Gaza is purposefully put into the state that it's in, to keep a threat around, so the conservatives running Israel can stay in power.
Is that because Gaza is proving harder to annex and pacify than the WB?
My buddy works there now, as the audiobook company he worked for got acquired by them.
You would be shocked how stupid and manual the content acquisition process is. Book publishers might as well still be operating back in the 90s, it's all phone calls and spreadsheets attached to the emails and manual FTP uploads.
If the music business is anything like the audiobook business they likely need so many non IT just to keep the machine fed with content.
Looked into the deets on this since it affects me - https://housing2.lacity.org/highlights/renter-protections
It's a 4% max increase, with 1% addons for electricity and gas if they're included in the rent.
Which, after 3 years of everything being frozen, doesn't sound too terrible. We'll still be a good amount cheaper than market rate.
They need to hire Earl Sinclair and the rest of the WeSaySo gang!
I dunno why you say FreeCAD is bad. When I got my 3d printer I picked it because I knew fusion would rug pull eventually, and fusion doesn't run on Linux without jumping through a bunch of hoops.
It takes a bit to learn, just like any app. But it's just as powerful. I really like the spreadsheet usage in FreeCAD to keep all my dimensions in one place.
Because rebase is fraught with peril, if you also push rebased branches upstream and someone else works off that branch.
If you stick to the rule of only using rebase on local branches that have never been pushed upstream, it's an awesome tool. If you don't, you're eventually going to cause someone to have a bad day.
I wonder how much of the 15% who were dissatisfied with the academic instruction were dissatisfied due to it not having religious instruction, but didn't want to indicate it outright by choosing the specific choice for that.
Thanks!
