  • Built a standard table for a desk but when I put my monitors on it, it becomes top heavy and subject to falling over

    Jump

  • Actually this is my exact plan. It occurred to me that the tipping over could be fixed by extending the base out to move the center of gravity back. I'll post an update once I make the change. It won't be until tomorrow due to life.

  • No, he's not that exact.

    He's create a "THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA PRIZE FOR PEACE AND PROSPERITY" and then authorize only his cabinet to award it.

    He will then accept it and then display it proudly around his neck. Then he'll say, "You know, they wanted to call this the 'Trump' prize because, it's because, you know it's the damn it's thing. They said 'Sir.' You know they like to call me that. They said, 'Sir, you're already a great diplomat. They should name this after you.' I think they are right but the liberal left doesn't like that. So we make it like this."

  • Omg you explained this very well. I didn't take into account that moving the legs back would move the center of gravity.

    God damn it. Physics! You bitch!

    I think the triangle approach is not possible. I am beginning to wonder if my approach (e.g. table with an apron) is the wrong approach.

    Jump

  • You are correct: with nothing on it, the table is fine. But with the weight of the monitor stand near the front, pulling my chair causes the table to tip.

    Based on comments and other drawings I've seen so far, I'm thinking you're right. I'm going add a crossbeam across the legs (the two sides and in the back).

    My goal was to build the desk with subpar wood so there are some twists and cupping in the wood. So getting every square is a challenge.

  • I would prefer not to. I could but it would only be on one side of the table.

  • The dimensions are w: 25" x l: 48" x h: 30"

    The legs move slightly when pulled (it could be sturdier and the brace would certainly help with that) but the whole table shifts. If I pull with the monitor stand on it, the table would fall over.

    Another day of AWS outages

    Jump

  • In case folks aren't aware, AWS status page is not live. It is a human-driven page that is updated manually.

    The fortune 100 company I used to work for would be notified prior to the status page being updated for an issue before the status page is updated.

    Do not rely on their status page to tell you there is a problem.

  • ICE agents can be arrested over unlawful actions, Chicago federal judge rules

    Jump

  • Because police officers have qualified immunity.

    This ruling only means something if SCOTUS upholds the arrest and conviction. It's an improvement, don't get me wrong, but I'm not holding my breath.

  • Trump Administration Live Updates: White House Changes Course and Will Demolish Entire East Wing

    Jump

  • His obsession with gold makes me think of the 80s, where gold gilded things was a mark of wealth. It makes me wonder if Trump's head is still in that world where everything needs to be gold so that he can look good.

    Because Trump is all about how it looks on the outside. Hell it wouldn't surprise me if he couldn't tell the difference between gold and brass.

  • Honestly I was thinking the same thing.

    The only thing that would make this a chef's kiss is that they accidentally bulldoze the oval while they are doing a press conference in it.

  • Kristi Noem's DHS caught in 'brazen lie' as old photo used to promote strikes

    Jump

  • The reason why this administration feels comfortable blatantly lying is because no one is holding them accountable.

    The press is just passing this off with "oh look what this shitty person did. No, we didn't ask any followup questions or get other sources. We moved on."

    Trump's base certainly doesn't care about facts.

  • A New Bill Aims to Ban Both Adult Content Online and VPN Use. Could It Work?

    Jump

  • VPNs is not just for remote workers. It's used by corporations who don't want to pay for a direct connect to federate with their work sites.

    The only way a VPN ban is going to work is if they make a carve-out for corporations.

    Which, let's face it, it's Republicans so there's a one-to-one chance that language will be there.

  • Maybe they'll put up a tent in the meantime since we are ruled by clowns.

  • This says something about Trump.

    Back under Clinton, the White House lawn needed to be redone for reasons. (Obligatory fuck lawns)

    The National Parks service said it would take a few years to complete and Clinton didn't want to do it because he didn't want the look of a torn up lawn in front of the White House to be a news item.

    W was told the same thing and he made the same decision.

    Obama was told and he was the one to finally do it. I don't remember if it made any sort of news outside the typical inside beltway noise but a lot of folks kind of gave him props for doing that.

    This kind of construction isn't going to be pretty and the fact that Trump is allowing it...I mean, it's sort of Obama-esque but we all know it's Trump's ego running the show.

  • There is a chrome addon that will "block" anything from AWS with the goal being you get to see how much of the world relies on it.

    I'm starting to understand why some companies are starting to exit AWS and back to their own data centers.

  • But Trump knows that his base will still vote for him regardless of how his policies directly impact them.

    Their desire for hate and oppression trumps (pun intended) whatever economic hardship they face.

    "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."
