I swear I kept getting a notification from some Verizon app of "check out these new things!!" that I eventually tracked down, took away permission, and uninstalled, but I can't remember exactly now

Apparently if the "automatic updates" setting is enabled in the Google Play Store and the Samsung Store (shows as just "Store"), promoted apps can get bundled and installed, so it can help to disable it

the duality of cat
Toulouse, a Tonkinese cat, sitting calmly next to a basket with some blankets in it in front of the base of a cat tree Toulouse yawning in a way that looks like a fierce roar, while still sitting in a very formal way

Really glad to see that Beaverton's Rep. Bonamici already shared something about this on here but I'm afraid it's going to take more than proposing legislation to make ICE arrests outside of schools illegal (that probably won't pass in this congress) to stop these horrors

There are some cool spots around Detroit but the city core pales in comparison to Portland downtown. I swear nowhere suffers from as much suburb-brain delusion as Portland.

Jux @juxtaposeddynamo.bsky.social · 01/05/2025
Detroit went through a contraction for decades, whereas Portland is leveling off; not good, but significantly less dire, and a much better position to maintain or turn around!

it wore so much less than the mate. That's probably the limit of what I can infer here though so thanks for indulging me, hope the rebuild goes smoothly!

Just as I suspected - in my professional opinion, it's been beat to shit. In all seriousness, the wear pattern being concentrated towards the OD might support the idea of some misalignment or otherwise poor engagement between gears. Also wonder if this gear was a different alloy or temper because

I'm a metallurgist, not a mechanic, but the worn sections don't look like fatigue failure to me, maybe abrasion instead. Possibly once enough of the teeth towards the ID wore down, the remaining tooth segments started getting overloaded, initiating the crack you can see at the root in the
