  1. Made a thing I saw some Youtuber use. Its as useful as it looked, and easy to make.

    Couple bits cut off a rusty rod, cleaned up and welded together as letter "h" and voila, a webbing winder for use with a battery drill.

    Instead of a tangled mess in a bucket, I've got my cargo straps ready for next use in record time. Should also work with the firehose, but I haven't tried that yet.

    If you're making one, two tips:

    1. The short leg should be terminating before the long leg reaches the bottom so it can be used against a flat surface. About 5-10mm shorter.

    2. The legs should be slightly narrower at the bottom than at the top, to make it easy pulling the tool out of a tight roll when done.

  7. Records from an eviction the previous year show that #ColinGray owned several weapons, including an #AR15, the type of firearm that ofcls say was used in the #SchoolShooting on Wed morning at #ApalacheeHighSchool in #Winder, #Georgia.

  15. RE: school shooting in Georgia leaves at least four students dead.

    To politicians who consistently vote against helping children to /not/ be shot to death at school, I have a honest, heartfelt message for you from me:

    Fuck you, fuck your thoughts and, especially, fuck your prayers. :fuck_face:

  19. #winder #georgia Nothing happens on school safety, on public safety from gun violence if Republicans are in control of the three branches of govt.
    nothing happens to keep our kids safe from gun violence if Republicans control anything.

    Vote them all out.!

  20. #winder #GA #Barrow The blame lies the Supreme Court. The Roberts court, and these 2nd amendment fetishists. They have misread the 2nd amendment. This Supreme Court is fine letting women bleed out in parking lots after Dobbs and kid bleed out in schools after Bruen, etc. The blame is with Republicans and #SCOTUS

  21. #Winder The problem isn't "politics". The problem is corruption. The problem is Republican corruption. The problem is Republicans don't care that school kids are being killed by gun violence. The problem is that Republicans are bought by the gun lobby.

  22. At some point, Caldera said someone pounded on his classroom door & shouted "open up!" multiple times. When the knocking stopped, Caldera said he heard more gunshots & screams.

  23. Senior Sergio Caldera, 17, said he was in chemistry class when he heard gunshots at 11AM.

    "My teacher goes & opens the door to see what’s going on. Another teacher comes running in & tells her to close the door because there’s an active shooter.”

    He said his teacher locked the door & the students ran to the back of the room. Caldera said they heard screams from outside as they "huddled up."
