New Tractor With 12-Valve Cummins and Zero Electronics Goes Back to the Basics

Ursa Ag, out of Canada, is building farm equipment that's both affordable and serviceable by independent shops.

The tractor is new, but the Cummins engine is "re-manufactured" and sourced from used engines from an earlier time.

I think this is a really good way of going about it. Kind of #RetroEdge in re-purposing something of quality from a while ago and mixing with new parts.

Same for people who previously couldn’t find time to mentor a student or new junior colleague because “it’s too much work to describe the task in enough detail”. For their LLM? No problem at all. 🤷 That’s the one that really gets under my skin.

It is a sad state of affairs.

I've had stomach pains the past few weeks, and already saw a doctor who gave me a medication. A friend told me to drink water mixed with psyllium husks to alleviate stomach pain. Has anyone ever used this stuff before?

Do you normally buy appliances new or used/second hand?

With the recent news about the SPLC funding the culture war, I wonder if anyone who has ever been real-named doxxed and fired for expressing such views could just apologize to their former employer and say, "Sorry. I was a victim of SPLC's psyop."

Sir, more DeVault posts have hit the timeline.

everyone talks about the SPLC thing but what about the real thing: how they psyopped autists into caring about politics and shit instead of having their special interests of obscure anime, speedrunning mario, and whacking it to pokemon. those interests had to go.

@SuperDicq @fiore @kimapr @mirq I was never on the Discord, but Vaxry said on his blog that the "victim" of the who/cares incident didn't take their own pronouns seriously and openly stated it was to make others angry, which seems to me that the user was most likely just a troll.

@SuperDicq @fiore @kimapr Also, he has only apologized for the whole IUD statement. I have not seen him apologize for hijacking a calculator forum that wasn't his by working his way up to moderator status, only to delete their IRC channel and a thread on someone else's calculator language, all because he couldn't win an argument against someone. I don't care if he was a teenager at the time. Having extreme opinions is common for teens but even during my teenage years I would have never done anything like that.

What about the apology for slandering Vaxry? Even if the behavior on the Hyprland Discord is locker-room like, it doesn't change the fact that Drew was lying about the "who/cares" victim as Vaxry has stated that the user didn't take their own pronouns seriously and was most likely a troll, and Drew knows this because it is clear that he read the blog post.

He has a lot more apologizing to do and he needs to admit that he is wrong, and stop treating everyone with different opinions as threats to society.

@kirby@freerobuxextremist.com @fiore@brain.worm.pink Yeah I read that.

I mean sure I can believe that he probably changed his mind on some his terrible opinions over the years. So he can be all like "I'm good now, I learned my lesson" and stuff.

But why doesn't he give the other people that he "cancels" the same treatment?

Stallman has also definitely changed his mind on some opinions that people still bother him with today you know? Where's his credit?

@kimapr@ublog.kimapr.net @fiore@brain.worm.pink I'm personally all for being able to redact statements and give people a second chance. And no, I don't really care about what someone masturbates to either. I probably also own pornographic material that some people might find objectionable.

The real issue I have with Drew Devault is that he is extremely hypocritical. He does not allow other people to retract their statements and apologize like he is doing now.

So that's why I don't take this seriously as long as he does not accept the same thing coming from the other people that he has "cancelled".
