I should probably mention I have skin in the game. I just learned how to drive truck a couple of months ago.

I don't think your average farmer will be able to afford that tech, or that it will make economic sense for him to

@Der Seeteufel - SD You already participate in one of the most highly automatized industries.

Even just a few decades ago, double-digit percentages of america were farmers and now it's below 2%

You have enormous machines that displace the work of ~~dozens~~ hundreds of men

Some machines that drive themselves already

All new 18 wheelers are now automatic transmission. Guys who trained to drive stick now have a depreciated skillset. So did VCR repairmen. We're all okay and better off for it.

The iPhone put the Walkman out of work, the Palm Pilot out of work, the Kodak camera out of work, the Garmin GPS out of work, the pay phone out of work (I still have a calling card), the GameBoy out of work ... and we're all better for it.

I used to have one of each of those and thought to myself, "I can't wait until I can have all of these in one device"

The guy who told me about Identity Evropa and got me to join? He's a very young man who was red-pilled by listening to podcasts on his iPhone while mowing his dad's lawn. iPhones and podcasts didn't even EXIST when I was mowing my dad's lawn. I had to wait like 18 extra years to get red-pilled compared to him.

@Tanner - SC I get what you're saying and to be honest I'm not that worried about being displaced. I used to operate nuclear reactors and have an IQ in the 130 range. I farm because I love it. Not everyone is so lucky though.

Also I do only make $13 an hour farming. If I didn't have secondary sources of income farming would represent a pretty substantial reduction in my standard of living.

I understand and I'm not inconsiderate of our lower-IQ whites.

I just want to push back against the idea the disruption is bad. It's change, it's different, it's unknown, it might have short-term pain, but there is a lot of medium-term gain, including those lower IQ people.

Also, "If your IQ is 120 or higher, birth control should be illegal for you" - Richard Spencer

I love that quote and I keep in mind that it's a bit of our duty as high IQ guys to have high birth rates.

@Der Seeteufel - SD your lack of a decent wage has more to do with immigration than innovation

#JustNon-WhiteThings

how...?

Cuz racism.

So I’m changing the compressor on a car today and every single piece of plastic a hose was attached to was brittle and broke. So a 1-2 hour job turned into waiting for JB weld to set overnight.

I'd almost say just replace all the hoses.

It’s the plastic fittings for the hoses!

They are all brittle from heat the hoses are fine

I replaced the fittings and jb welded them in place and it held up in a pressure test

Fixing the school buses in my town

Brakes mostly tbh

Also this old piece of junk

The new starter isn’t meeting the fly wheel any ideas why?

It’s got the right clearance but it won’t meet it

Access retainer makes this a 10 minute job

Easy as 123

The starter needed a bushing on the bolt holding it in because someone had milled out the bolt mount spot on the bell housing.

Which allowed the starter to sway about when it’s gear came in contact with the fly wheel

What are your opinions on rejetting carbs on a motorcycle after adding aftermarket exhaust? I've been told conflicting things from local shops and also rabbit holed into forums and found about a 50/50 split on opinions. I'm at about 5500ft elevation.

2005 Honda Shadow Aero 750

I always re jet mine when adding more freer flowing exhaust.

Wish me luck boys. I'm about to drive 250 miles in this old girl.
