    Joe Biden is the modern day version of Neville Chamberlain. Change my mind.

    Roger, I agree that they lack the capability to airdrop and land 500k troops. I was just stating the Chinese 'threat' which will clearly be an exaggerated claim might to intimidate Creepy Joe. Additionally, every day that goes by, PLA is adding the necessary naval and air assets necessary to...

    Joe Biden is the modern day version of Neville Chamberlain. Change my mind.

    This is an excellent idea. There are other key assets that China needs from the west - namely high tech lab and manufacturing equipment. For example, the American companies Applied Materials, Lam Research and KLA Corp provide the necessary semiconductor fabrication equipment China needs to...

    Joe Biden is the modern day version of Neville Chamberlain. Change my mind.

    Believe that is also a negative, but would love to be wrong. I do believe there are something like 200 M1 MBTs on order, which would clearly change the kinetic equation. But those assets are years from delivery. Creepy Joe is unlikely to expediate the order either.

    Joe Biden is the modern day version of Neville Chamberlain. Change my mind.

    I believe that is a negative. I believe they would like to have them but we (US) haven't proved them. Instead they are under our 'assumed' umbrella, from the "Taiwan Relations Act" (TRA) way back 40+ years ago. The ROC military is pathetic, not at all like South Korea's. We are talking small...

    Joe Biden is the modern day version of Neville Chamberlain. Change my mind.

    Its a fair comp. Consider Hitler justified his initial aggression as regaining ethnic German land, "rightfully theirs", Austria, Czech, etc. China views Taiwan the same way, and I don't believe Taiwan (aka Republic of China, ROC) has been recognized by most countries in the world (whereas...

    Moving to Maryland, Working in DC

    So that looks OK for a Mechanicsville MD house. Rt 5 all the way or maybe a dogleg right on 301. 35 to 40 miles, count on a hour, or maybe 1.25. It will suck as it gets closer to city, but that is the price to pay for living here. I have been down that way a few times and its a good...

    Moving to Maryland, Working in DC

    Also, there are some great Americans around this area - former military, current military, patriots and good values people. I saw this last year when our Governor (VA) tried to strip us of our liberties. So many great Virginians came together and did it the right way, protecting our freedom...

    Moving to Maryland, Working in DC

    Dude, you need to pick a house based on the commute. PERIOD. There is no viable way you can live out in Podunk MD or VA or WV. Unless you want to spend all of your time in a car. Don't look at distances on maps, because they are not an accurate indication of your commute time ... you can't go...

    Derek Chauvin 'defense'

    Guys, question for you all: So I watched a George Floyd video on Youtube, wanting to learn a little about what you guys are discussing. So Youtube now thinks I'm into watching videos of the ghettos. It is pushing these videos of walking/driving thru these terrible hoods in Philly, LA, etc...

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    Hell yeah man! Nice summary. The work is consider the 'first' work written in English. Of course the English language would go on to essentially conquer the world, literature and otherwise. As the such, we should all know "Beowulf" and read it. I love the beer (mead) hall scenes from the...

    224V vs. 6mm ARC 0-600y 18"-20" barrel?

    very close here. both get a low 0.50s G1 BC bullet going approx 2700fps (in a 20" gasser). 85/90gr for the 5.56mm and 105/108gr for the 6mm, which yield 20grs more mass for 6mm. Is 20grs of mass meaningful? Maybe, certainly depending on how far your steel is. At 500yds? No. At 1000yds...

    Virginia Gun Control Updates

    Unbelievable that a mayor, much less any public servant, would not just publicly talk like that, but would do so with pride and joy. Instead of apologizing, she instead is demanding an apology from Facebook on their decision to 'censor' her. For those of you who haven't been to...

    Alaska Sawmill

    As a follow-up, here is that walnut that I skidded with my log arch. We bucked it in two and created two 7x11"x16' boxed heart timbers from it. These are two of the king posts for my timber frame. Unfortunately this walnut had a lot of sap wood in it - it was down by the river, getting a lot...

    Alaska Sawmill

    One of the things you have to deal with when ripping with a chain saw is the waste removal. Ripping creates long fiber waste and lots of heat, especially oak like the OP is looking to mill. As recommended above, ripping chains are the way to go as they deal with this long fiber waste better...

    Alaska Sawmill

    That is an excellent list of recommendations, especially on the sharpening. Using a chainsaw like this is way outside what it was designed for and you have got to have sharp chains, especially ripping chains, at all times. Otherwise you will burn out your machine. A 3-5 hp chainsaw vs a...

    Alaska Sawmill

    Absolutely, those chain saw jigs/Alaskan sawmills are good. A lot cheaper than buying a bandsaw or paying someone to do it, and you honestly don't have a lot of bdft there to justify a big expense. And the bdft you have isn't too valuable. What are you looking to cut 4/4, 5/4, 8/4 or timbers...

    Longshot: does anyone know how to change poles on a 3phase motor?

    I have this diagram, which I believe shows how to wire for 220V or 440V. I'm wired for 220V and that is the voltage I'm feeding it. This is a picture of the wires right below the "off/on speed 1/on speed 2/on reverse speed 1" switch. There appears to be sticker labels on those little wires...

    Longshot: does anyone know how to change poles on a 3phase motor?

    Yes, I knew you guys were smart. Damn this forum can solve a lot of issues. Here is the page in the manual detailing this and here is pic of the voltage scheme like @2aBaCa posted: I'm not looking for you guys to read that German as I have a pretty good command of the language. What it...
