Keep in mind the Republicans are evolving beyond Trump, and this New Right is a real threat.

Case in point, that story earlier this week about Republican thinks tanks funding anti-education, anti-trans, anti-race mixing efforts, which stokes their culture war in ways that have and will continue to provoke real people to act in violent and harmful ways.

Was the cup holding the canned air a failed print you just used as a shallow cup?

I always thought it would be great if there was a rom you could flash that just opens every up on an old phone so you could use them as project computers.

How many of us have a drawer full of old phones that we keep with the intention to one day use for something?

Now that I take pics I see the latch side is leaning, which makes sense, since the whole fence is probably settling and pulling it.

Now that I posted these I realize that latch side post is leaning. There’s a whole fence on that side, so I wonder if it’s getting pulled by the others settling.

Yes, wooden posts set in cement. Not sure how deep, because it was new construction, so I didn’t do it. It seems weird that it’s still settling, but we have definitely been having insane weather swings since it was built, that we don’t normally get.

Austin IS prone to foundation issues because something about our soul isn’t great… I’m in an area that isn’t too bad, but definitely has some issues.

It does sound like we’re going to have to reset those posts deeper.

Theyre all wooden posts, set in cement. I don’t know how deep though… We hired someone to do it. They are definitely moving vertically, but I don’t think there’s any wobble from side to side… The latch is locking, and it’s about two inches tall, but it is always in line in the y axis, it just goes off up and down. Not sure if it’s both sides moving, but I know the gate is now also hitting the cement holding the opposite post.

Pics would help for sure, I’ll get some tomorrow.

Nothing to add, but this is a wildly distopian thread.
