I feel like I will spin up a new wallet, make sure the crypto is secure, then probably send it from there to one of my other wallets? I'm not sure what they are paying in yet, but I will obviously convert it immediately to either monero or bitcoin.

If you are just doing chassis, like pins and bushings the off road grease is a good choice
https://www.amsoil.com/p/amsoil-nlgi-2-synthetic-polymeric-off-road-grease-gpor2/?zo=513524
But if you are doing other components that have high speed rotating bearings such as wheel bearings then the multi purpose grease will be a better choice.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth Forces Army Chief of Staff to Step Down Over Ignored COVID Vaccine Injury
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has demanded that Army Chief of Staff General Randy George step down and retire immediately.
A young soldier wounded by the Biden-era mRNA COVID vaccine says General George ignored her desperate case until investigative reporting forced military records into the light.
Specialist Karoline Stancik was just 24 when the shot hit her hard. She suffered three heart attacks, a mini-stroke, and severe POTS that left doctors no choice but to implant a pacemaker in her chest.
During the Biden administration, the Army wrongly kicked Stancik off orders and stripped her of military medical insurance, leaving her to pay more than $90,000 out of pocket while fighting for her life.
An October 2023 Army memo later declared her condition "Line of Duty" and pointed straight to research linking her cardiac damage to the mRNA vaccine.
"Secretary of War has asked the Army Chief of Staff, General Randy George, to step down," the report states. "A COVID vaccine-injured soldier says General George ignored her case until our investigation exposed military records linking her three heart attacks to the mRNA vaccine."
After the reporting broke through, Stancik finally received medical retirement and partial back pay. She is still battling the VA to wipe out the rest of her crushing medical debt.
This case exposes how top brass looked the other way while fit young troops paid the price for forced experimental shots. Hegseth's move sends a clear message: real leadership puts injured soldiers first, not the cover-up.
Stancik's fight is one of many buried injuries from the military's heavy-handed vaccine push. Accountability is long overdue.

What caused families to fight against each other during the American Civil War?
Chatgtp...
Families fought against each other during the American Civil War for a mix of political, economic, and deeply personal reasons. It wasn’t just a war between states—it often split households and communities.
**1. Divided loyalties to state vs. nation**
At the time, many people felt stronger loyalty to their **state** than to the United States as a whole. When Southern states seceded, individuals had to choose: support their state or remain loyal to the Union. Even within the same family, people made different choices.
**2. Disagreement over slavery**
Slavery was the central issue behind the war. Some family members supported it (often due to economic dependence or beliefs about race), while others opposed it on moral or political grounds. These differences could be intense enough to divide siblings, parents, and children.
**3. Geographic and cultural splits**
Border states like Kentucky and Missouri had mixed populations—some pro-Union, some pro-Confederate. Families living there were especially likely to split sides because they were surrounded by conflicting influences.
**4. Economic differences within families**
Not all Southerners owned enslaved people. Poorer family members might not support the Confederacy’s cause, while wealthier relatives might strongly defend it. These economic differences could create opposing viewpoints even at the dinner table.
**5. Personal beliefs and pressure**
Some people joined armies due to personal conviction; others felt pressure from neighbors or local communities. In tight-knit areas, choosing the “wrong” side could lead to social isolation, pushing individuals to make different choices than their relatives.
**6. Communication and distance**
Families were often spread across different states. If relatives lived in both North and South, they naturally ended up on opposing sides once war broke out.
---
In short, the Civil War divided families because it forced people to answer big questions—about loyalty, morality, and identity—and those answers weren’t always the same, even among close relatives.
Follow up, Are there any similarities between what happened during the Civil War and families and current times in the United States?
Chatgtp
There *are* some parallels—but it’s important not to overstate them. What’s happening in the U.S. today is **nowhere near the scale or violence** of the American Civil War. Still, certain patterns of division can feel familiar on a smaller, social level.
**1. Political polarization within families**
Just like in the 1860s, families today sometimes split over politics—whether about elections, government policy, or social issues. People may strongly identify with different parties or ideologies, and that can strain relationships.
**2. Different sources of identity and loyalty**
During the Civil War, people argued over loyalty to state vs. nation. Today, divisions can center more on **political identity, cultural values, or worldview** (urban vs. rural, religious vs. secular, etc.). These identities can shape how people see the country and their place in it.
**3. Media and information bubbles**
In the 1860s, newspapers often presented very partisan views, reinforcing divisions. Today, social media and news outlets can do something similar—people may consume very different information, which can deepen disagreements even within the same family.
**4. Moral disagreements**
Then, the major moral issue was slavery. Today, disagreements often revolve around issues like civil rights, immigration, or economic fairness. While the topics differ, the **feeling that “this issue is fundamental”** can create strong emotional divides.
**5. Geographic and cultural differences**
Regional differences still matter. People in different parts of the country may have different values or priorities, which can show up in family disagreements—especially if relatives live in different states or environments.
---
**Key difference (and it’s a big one):**
Today’s conflicts are mostly expressed through **debate, elections, and public discourse**, not organized warfare between states. The Civil War involved armies, secession, and massive loss of life—something the U.S. is not experiencing now.
---
**Bottom line:**
Yes, both then and now show how deeply held beliefs can divide families. But today’s divisions are political and cultural tensions within a single nation—not a violent conflict that literally turns relatives into enemy soldiers.

Not since October 2025. I tried and stopped by which she said I needed to make an appointment. I just wanted her to pay her cell phone bill that was 4 months behind (she's 33 with a job, house etc) then I cut off the phone and she posted on FB that I cut her off, I blocked her, since we Don't see eye to eye.
I did write a letter, like in the mail letter apologizing for whatever I did or said and that I love her and don't want it to be this way. No response. 🤷🏼‍♂️
So basically no contact since Nov 2025. I don't get it. I'm guessing because she's in the leftist, marxist socialist wokist cult, there is probably nothing I can do?

On this day in U.S. military history, 29 March 1911, the United States Army adopted arguably the greatest combat sidearm in history. The M1911 is a single-action, semi-automatic, magazine-fed, recoil-operated pistol chambered for the .45 ACP cartridge.

Things you won't read on MSM.
Texas Mom Approaches ICE Agents at Houston Airport: "How Can My Son Join?"
A proud Texas mother didn't hesitate at George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston. She walked straight up to a group of ICE officers, asked how her son could sign up to join the ranks, then shook every hand and wished them a blessed day.
This heartwarming moment, captured on video, shows real America standing with the men and women enforcing our borders. No protests, no drama—just genuine respect for the thin blue line protecting our sovereignty.
While the left paints ICE as villains, everyday patriots in red states like Texas are cheering them on and encouraging their kids to serve. It's a powerful reminder that most Americans want secure borders, rule of law, and officers who do the tough job no one else will.
Under President Trump, ICE recruitment has exploded—more than doubling the agency's workforce with over 12,000 new hires from hundreds of thousands of applications. Patriots are answering the call to make America safe again.
This is what winning looks like: strong enforcement, public support, and families proud to see their sons and daughters wear the badge. God bless this Texas mom and every ICE agent out there doing the work.

Even with decades of experience, Sam said, “I’ve never been to a DOA involving a Somali, never in my career.

BLUF: Humans are naturally prone to cooperation... and violence usually only occurs when a toxic authority figure tries to divide them.
___________________________________________
"In 1973, a scientist had a crazy idea: put 10 strangers on a tiny raft for a 101-day, 6,000-mile journey across the Atlantic.
The goal was to study the root causes of human violence.
The scientist running it was named Santiago Genovés and he believed if he found the reason humans are violent, he could solve world peace.
He believed that human violence stemmed from sexual frustration, and he thought if he put young, conventionally attractive people in a highly dangerous environment, they would revert to their baseline, savage instincts.
His plan was to sit in the corner and take notes as the chaos unfolded.
But a few weeks in, Santiago realized he had a major problem.
The group wasn't fighting. They were actually getting along too well. They were cooperating, bonding, and peacefully navigating the ocean.
Santiago was furious that his hypothesis was failing.
So, he decided to manufacture the violence himself.
He started playing mind games. He took over command of the raft and began reading the participants' private, anonymous daily surveys out loud to the group, desperately trying to turn them against each other.
And it worked. He finally sparked violent thoughts.
But the violence wasn't directed at each other. The group despised Santiago so much that they held a secret meeting. They actively plotted to murder him, throw his body overboard, and tell the authorities it was a tragic accident.
The experiment was supposed to prove that humans are inherently violent beasts.
Instead, it proved that humans are naturally prone to cooperation... and violence usually only occurs when a toxic authority figure tries to divide them."

PSA...
People who shoot firearms, often arch backwards, especially beginners, due to a combination of instinctive reactions and physical mechanics.
Leaning back is a natural response to counterbalance the forward weight of the gun and reduce strain on the arms and shoulders. It’s also driven by a survival instinct—many new shooters instinctively recoil away from the perceived danger of the explosion, flash, and noise, even though the firearm is safe when handled properly.
This backward arching posture is compounded by poor stance and lack of balance.
When shooters stand with their arms outstretched and back arched, they lose their center of gravity, causing the body to rock back with each shot. This worsens recoil effects and makes consistent shooting difficult.
Proper stance—such as a forward-leaning "nose-over-toes" position—helps maintain balance, control recoil, and improves accuracy. With training, these instinctive reactions can be corrected, leading to more stable and effective shooting.

Friedrich Hayek warned that "once society accepts the idea that the individual is merely a means to serve the ends of a higher entity—such as society or the nation—most features of totalitarian regimes that horrify us follow of necessity.
From the collectivist standpoint intolerance and brutal suppression of dissent, the complete disregard of the life and happiness of the individual, are essential and unavoidable consequences of this basic premise, and the collectivist can admit this and at the same time claim that his system is superior to the one in which the selfish interests of the individual are allowed to obstruct the full realization of the ends the community pursues. "
This was written in 1944. How do you think it still applies today?

As the rights of small nations are concerned, Marx and Engels were little better than most other consistent collectivists, and the views they occasionally expressed about Czechs or Poles resemble those of contemporary National Socialists.

Mainly why I switched to pipes. Most of my tobacco is less than $4/oz. And I don't have any storage issues, just sealed Mason jars. I never really cared for cigars because after about 1/2 a stick it starts tasting bad, but because they are so expensive I push through even when it gets bitter tasting. At least with my pipe it's only like $0.50 or less I'm tossing out. Though I do smoke usually 3/4 of a bowl.

As you can see, I also use a Kamisori, which is basically a straight razor that uses a 1/2 DE blade. I use it mostly around my lips it's much easier to get a good straight line. Occasionally I'll use the Kamisori on cheeks and neck, but it takes much longer than the DE razor.

Shaving, most people don't think about it, it's just one of those chores we all do, shaving our face daily for me being in the military I just wanted to be done with it. For many years I just shaved in the shower and it worked OK.
One day I went down the wet shaving rabbit hole, bought the Double edge razor, soaps, brushes etc than I found other razors that I wanted to try, recently got some vintage razors... Needless to say, the zen of my routine is much more enjoyable. It does take a little longer, but the mental health aspects of it are worth it.
An interesting idea to save money on shaving vs cartridges (DE blades are like $0.10 a piece) turned into a several hundred dollar adventure.
