While I'm somewhat mystified getting US news from a Ukrainian military news site (no offense meant, OP, seems like a local source for you), acts like this being publicized widely will fan the flames for the designation of cartels as foreign terrorist organizations by the new administration.

Now, I'm not sure cartel action against border patrol counts as "terroristic" in my book, but that won't matter.

Username checks out I guess...

I just got approved to volunteer with https://techies4rj.org/

I'm currently looking for an immigration related opportunity too.

You can always recommend a local food not bombs org.

Space rocks are the real danger. They pop into existence and really shake things up.

Well yes, but for a different reason.

They make their money on ads, so if it takes you multiple clicks or searches to get the answer you want, they sell more ads.

Hah, can confirm that they aren't amazing. Or at least mine isn't. Let's just say I sent video of one cousin at the capitol on Jan 6 to the FBI.

Well, each of my parents has 5 siblings who all had kids, so I have 2 siblings who have significant others and 2 kids each, and 17 1st cousins on my mom's side and 14 on my dad's side, many of whom now have their own children (I think we're at 18 or 19 now, but I don't facebook, so it could be over 20), plus the 12 uncles and aunts, and then there are the in-laws who have a less tidy structure, with 4 parents, 1 full sibling with 4 kids and 2 step-kids and 3 grand kids, 2 half siblings with 2 kids and a step kid, and 2 step siblings with 3 kids. And her mom had 4 siblings...

The big reunions I remember as a kid (for my great grandparent's families) were well over 100 people. Because they all had 4-6 kids because that's how you ran a family farm.

Eh, it's a cheap click bait to stir the pot on the "feud" between the old Trump guard (Bannon, Kirk, et al) and the techno-feudalists.

The "best" we could have hoped for was a quiet transition and a year of ineptitude for minimal disruption of normal folks' lives.

Don't get me wrong, I'll also be enjoying a bit of schadenfreude as the leopards begin hunting faces.

I hate to break it to you, but disruption this early in the politics cycle won't be remembered in a year when the midterms cycle picks up. And certainly not in 3 years for the next presidential cycle. People have short memories.

 

My first project is really coming together!

Built a set of drawers cabinets to my wife's specs for the closet. Still have uppers, face frame and overlay fronts to do, but the garage was too full to keep going.

4ft (122cm) tall bank of drawers with full extension soft close undermount slides. 88in.(222cm) wide.

Feel free to make fun of the 2x4 toe kick! Rest assured I've learned my lesson.

All cuts made with my portable DeWalt table saw after breaking down sheets with my Ryobi circular saw and a harbor freight clamp as an edge guide.

Paste wax (self.dull_mens_club)

I applied some paste wax to the table saw and was pleasantly surprised that it made a difference.

I think I'll have to use this on the wood runners on the old dresser I have too.

In case you're concerned, it's just a little DeWalt contractor's table saw. No sawstop or powermatic here. That's for the cool guys on youtube.
