I scrolled past this without second thought. Paused. Thought, wait, I've never seen a crane on the road. Scrolled back up. No answers. Typed this response, then noticed the book's author. What a whirlwind

Basically they bring it in piece by piece and assemble it on-site, using a smaller mobile crane (trucks with crane attachments) and once the crane itself is assembled, the top part can use hydraulics to climb up and down its own mast, so it builds itself taller like this

There is however no explanation for BJ Nomnom

That is genuinely fascinating, thank you!

i do like want revenge against the whole world but im chill about it im still a good hang

Every time you try to talk to a man about misogyny he’s like “well what about the terrible things men do to each other because they hate women so much? Huh? What’s feminism going to do about that???”

In a post-Roe America you genuinely could not pay me to GAF that you all are making fun of each other for crying lmfao that is not my problem in the slightest

I woke up out of a dead sleep to make this and then immediately passed back out

Some myths that need debunking because they're being pushed by bots and it’s making me angry:

1. "He's gonna declare martial law!" Okay, so what then? This isn't something you can enforce nationwide on a country of 350 million people with a military that has a combined force of less than 3 million people, including all support and logistics staff. That doesn't equal half the population of Los Angeles. Y'all need to fucking stop acting like we're approaching a mythical point where shit gets "serious." We're already there. People are already being disappeared.

Civilians are already being killed in the streets. We're there. And you know what? They're already getting near the limits of their ability to force compliance. ICE is dedicating a double digit percentage of their manpower to Minneapolis and they're not controlling shit. People are pushing back. Your default response when the administration says "We will force you to do this" shouldn't be "Oh no they're gonna make us do this!" It should be "Fuck you. Make me."

2. "Americans are doing nothing!" I did a post about this recently, but it bears revisiting: I don't know where the hell you're getting this, because everywhere that ICE or other arms of the federal enforcement apparatus go, they are being pushed back on, humiliated, driven out of neighborhoods, and shown the door. People are fighting back on a truly awe inspiring level. Stop assuming that "doing something" looks like an armed mass of civilians storming Washington and fighting the military in a pitched battle. This is movie bullshit. The world has not looked like that since the early 20th century. What you are seeing, right now, is what "doing something" looks like. Stop it stop it stop it. We ARE doing something, in vast numbers.

3. "He's gonna cancel elections!" This one has been pushed by bots for the last year, and big name people have been picking it up, and it frustrates the hell out of me so I'm going to hold your hand and tell you bluntly: He. Cannot. Do. This. There is no mechanism. Elections are controlled by the states, and they decide when they happen. There is no federal mechanism for control of elections. What's Trump gonna do? Post soldiers at every polling place in every swing state? Do you know how many polling places there are in every district? How much manpower this would require? He doesn't have the people to do it. He doesn't have the mechanical ability to do it. There are no tools to execute this plan. Is he gonna try to make elections unfair? You bet your ass, but our elections have never been fair. Voter suppression has always existed and will continue to exist until we fix it... but a blanket ban of elections or even some ability to make them not happen? Lol. He doesn't have the manpower or the means.

But what if he did? Let's game this out: Congress--or at least the House of Representatives--is not a perpetual body. At the end of 2026 the current congress ceases to exist, and the next one isn't convened until the following year. Mike Johnson will cease to be Speaker at the end of the year and wont be Speaker again in '27 unless his party wins a sufficient majority to elect him. Remember if there are no elections then republicans will not have their seats in 2027. There will be no congress, and without congress, Trump does not have a mechanism for governance. I dunno about you, but those Republican reps like having their jobs, their staff, their salaries, and all the perks that come with office. They do not get those if there is no Congress. That is not something they want.

But he said he was gonna! And? So fucking what? He says a lot of things. He issued an executive order at the start of his second term ordering all school districts in the country to immediately cease teaching "DEI" whatever the hell that means. Do you know what most districts that weren't actively kissing his ass said? "That's nice. Make me." And then he didn't, because the states control their own education systems, not Trump. His words don't have the force of law, and are limited by what he actually has levers of power to accomplish. We are **still having elections.** Several happened last week. The States decide this. Trump doesn't.

The Midterms are gonna happen. They're gonna matter and they're gonna have consequences. And you all need to stop acting like he has power over things he doesn't just because he says he does. That's propaganda and you're falling for it.

As with all things Authoritarian, when Trump says "I'm gonna force you to do this," your response should be as I articulated above:

"Fuck you. Make me."

I love you all. Be safe. Don't comply in advance. Don't give them power they don't have just because they say they do.

fuck this low sodium bullshit. when I search "high sodium" on food ordering apps I want to find food with sodium so high it has a fucking warning label. not "no salt" and "low sodium" foods.

is there any food company out there that markets their products as high sodium or is everyone in this industry truly a clown

not electrolytes. not supplements. I want to see HIGH SODIUM on cans of food

my life depends on salt

if your takeaway from this is to try and explain categories of food that are often high sodium to me you have read my post wrong

this is a post about programming and food marketing.

how long do you think I have had orthostatic hypotension and autonomic failure. I appreciate wanting to help but I do not need anyone to explain to me the categories of food that pop up when you google "high sodium food" or I would currently be very dead.

even if a category of food is often high in sodium, I still have to read every individual label, because even canned soup and ramen range from 2% daily value to 100%+ daily value sodium. and even then those are individual flavors of individual products from individual food manufacturers that are not sold everywhere or not always in stock.

I want to be able

to search, directly, on every relevant platform where food can be searched/ordered, based off of what that specific place currently has in stock:

"high sodium"

and get high sodium foods

and not low sodium or literally just electrolyte mixes and salt

popular nutrition 'science' is run by clowns. everything is bad for you. avoid fat. avoid carbs. avoid calories. avoid salt. we are being sold starvation as a luxury good.

I forget at this time the name of the specific medication but there is a medication that raises blood pressure that was almost banned (or made harder to access?) in the united states because the US food and drug administration could not name any medical condition where raising blood pressure was a good idea. so they opened it up for comment to see if anyone could present any good reason why blood pressure-raising drugs should be allowed

dysautonomia international had to bring people in to testify that basically went: HELLO???? ARE YOU FUCKING JOKING

and this was not in the 80s or something before the internet, google, social media. this was within the past ~10 years.

Oh hey I had a similar problem! My doctor had no idea how to treat my hypotension so all she could really do was tell me to buy salt tablets :(

your doctor had no idea how to google "hypotension medication"? wow she sounds pathetic

here, some starting ideas for her and anyone else who allegedly went to med school:

https://www.drugs.com/condition/hypotension.html

Wait there's a word for it? Hypotension. I mean of course there's a word for it, but fuck, my previous doctor would just tell me it was low but acted like it wasn't a problem? Even though one of my main chronic health issues is random dizzy spells and vertigo. Idk because I'm fat I guess so the expected "problem" would have been high blood pressure? Fucking god. It seems like every few months I find out ways that I've been medically mistreated without even knowing.

yo google "orthostatic hypotension" and then go get a new doctor (ideally one recommended by patients) that can order you a tilt table test or a professionally administered nasa lean test or some kind of autonomic testing to evaluate for types of dysautonomia involving orthostatic intolerance. and its many comorbidities including connective tissue disorders, digestive issues, migraine, mast cell disorders, thyroid issues, autoimmunity, neuropathy, so many more.

dysautonomia is one of the most common types of medical conditions on the planet as everyone has an autonomic nervous system and they are very shitty. covid has multiplied the number of people with dysautonomia. most people with dysautonomia usually have multiple other conditions/chronic illnesses/disabilities/etc, and one of the #1 things to know about dysautonomia is it usually only shows up on targeted autonomic testing (not scans, blood or urine labs, scopes, etc) and the comorbidities are similarly difficult to diagnose without looking for. lot of really shitty tests.

but basically either you go to a doctor already familiar with testing and treating dysautonomia who can identify it and knows what to do right away, you bring it up to one that is willing to spend a lot of time learning, or you (and anyone else with mystery health issues) are potentially totally fucked until you find better doctors.

you can also have a baseline low blood pressure and still have postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) and not orthostatic hypotension but if your blood pressure tanks when you stand up even if you have every other POTS symptom, that makes it not-POTS (due to being orthostatic hypotension, which POTS is diagnosed in the absence of)

basically when, when standing up/on a tilt table: heart rate go up (with or without blood pressure going up) = POTS

blood pressure go up: orthostatic hypertension (can be diagnosed alongside POTS)

blood pressure go down: orthostatic hypotension (rules out POTS)

feel like shit in general: orthostatic intolerance

orthostatic hypotension is generally considered much more dangerous than POTS but POTS can cause low blood pressure due to low blood volume as well

https://dysautonomiainternational.org/ (their maps of doctors are extremely outdated and useless -- check in individual patient groups for patient-recommended doctors, totally cool to say "anyone know a fat-friendly doctor for initial comprehensive autonomic testing, maybe of orthostatic hypotension, in x area that takes y insurance?" as this is one of the primary functions of patient groups and a patient-recommended doctor is often more effective than over a dozen chosen at random because either you know this shit and are good at treating it without being a shithead to your patients or not)

https://vimeo.com/dysautonomia <- actual medical presentations, medical conferences on this subject

(also, I add this to every post about patient groups because I have to, please never mention me or my blog in any way in any patient group)

good luck! treatment is worth it. also you really want to know if you have orthostatic hypotension and anything underlying as these conditions and their common comorbidities can get worse and sometimes become life-threatening without treatment

source: dysautonomia international and their medical conferences and my dysautonomia is life-threatening and a lot of that was the delay in treatment + as mentioned above this post was about orthostatic hypotension to begin with

I regret to inform you that doing drugs is no longer cool.

it’s kinda funny how if you are wealthy you can publicly do illegal drugs but we have tons of people incarcerated in hell prisons for getting caught with like a g

HELP SHIRA SURVIVE A TRANSMISOGYNIST ATTEMPTED MURDER

Shira is a Turkish trans woman who was the victim of attempted murder by a man on the street who realized she was transfemme. After he stabbed her, dozens of people walked by her on the sidewalk until a teenager stopped and helped her.

Shira is now in the hospital in critical condition. She’s undergone emergency surgery and will need multiple operations and long-term care to recover—physically and emotionally.

Shira has no close family nearby, is not accepted by public organizations in Turkey because she is trans, and she’s unable to work while she heals. Her friends are raising funds to cover her medical bills, therapy, and basic living expenses during this painful time.

As of me posting this, the fundraiser has €125 out of a €12k goal. If you can’t give anything to help a trans woman survive a horrific attack, please at least reblog this, set it on your queue, whatever you need to do to make sure others can see and help. Thank you.

https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-shira-recover-after-a-transphobic-attack

UPDATE:

Currently we're at €2994/4000

We can do this guys!

€3436/4000

Just a little push until the €4000 milestone where Shira will be able to receive her urgent surgery!

€3721 / 4000

This is time sensitive, folks!

UPDATE:

I've heard from her close friends that the surgeries were a complete success! Thank you, everyone who donated!

All that's left is to pay off the bills for her stay at the hospital. We're close, folks! Just need to push a bit more for a little while longer!

We're aiming for a minimum of 6k to pay off Shira's hospital bills!

We're currently at €4715 / 6000

Updated today:

Srsly guys, this is time sensitive.

We're less than 700 away from our goal of 6000

Updated today (August 12):

We're really close, guys! Please keep pushing!

Updated today! (August 21)

Please keep pushing, everyone!

Urgent update!

Please, this is time sensitive!

Reviving this old post cos it seems to have way more traction than some of my newer posts.

January update:

Shira has been out of the hospital for a few months, and thanks to generous donations has been able to afford an appartment. However, she's still unable to work due to her injuries. Currently all her money is going towards staying housed, and there's not enough left for food and medicine.

In her own words from her January 12th update:

Please everyone. She hasn't received a single donation in over 2 weeks.

I've enjoyed watching this post get a reblog here or there throughout the year and each time I think, "Whoops! Someone's queue just hit last March!"

But it's currently January and this is the top reblog in my notes at the moment. I didn't even know a queue could run 10 months long.

All this to say, you've got 2 months to get your Ides memes ready 🗡️

Let him give it a try at least.
