They have plumbing. And electricity. Heck, they even have starlink. Steel mills, auto factories, pretty decent manufacturing base, including a lot of things no longer made in the USA. I have four choices of domestic rubber boots, pretty much all commercial kitchen equipment is local, sliding...
Rosstat says a lot of russians dont have indoor plumbing or running water. We are not talking about sewage systems, but more basic needs. I cant read russian to search the actual rosstat (russian government site) but many english sites quote the same basic thing-...
have it waterjet cut.
(assuming you have enough of the original to use as a pattern)
its not exactly a high speed item, as long as you use a hard enough steel, accuracy is much less of a concern than, say, a transmission gear.
yup, I am on SS.
I get a bit below the average, as I was self employed for a lot of years.
In the world in general, I am much wealthier than half the entire global population, as half the people on earth live on six bucks a day or less.
How that affects the fact that wealthy Russians have fled...
Most russians these days are walking across the southern border. Canada is harder to enter than mexico.
My relatives, and my wifes, 100 years ago, were allowed into Canada much more easily. There is a reason the “ five towns” in western Minnesota, where many finns first landed for more than 50...
I spend a lot of time in Argentina and the immigration system is overwhelmed with 30,000 new russia immigrants since the war, and they all seem to have kids in $500 strollers. Which, coincidentally is the average monthly wage for half of argentines.
Meanwhile in Sri Lanka, a quarter of a...
It seems like this is a situation where the size of your business, and the size of the customer, determines what you can demand.
As Bob describes, if you want to do hundreds of thousands to millions a year, dealing with companies like Ford and GM, you go along with whatever their policy is. You...
If you are sure it will always stay hobby level, and you want a cheap starter system, these guys have been around a long time. Its simple, cheap, and light duty, but I know people who have done a lot of work on them.

Ox, you may be younger than I am - my grandparents were all born before 1910, and my great grandma was borm in the 1880s in Sweden. Those are the generations I think of when I talk about immigrants who still spoke native languages in the home. That side of the family grew up in western MN where...
The Italians were "gangsters" when they first came. Same with the Irish. And, just like the people from central america, only a very few were actually criminals.
I know that my wife's family didnt come thru Ellis Island- in around 1915, her aunt clara, a baby, was carried across the bridge from...
Of course they get a medical exam in custody. In the old days they really were only looking for tb, the plague, vd, stuff like that. Its more comprehensive today. https://www.cdc.gov/immigrantrefugeehealth/laws-regs/revisions-medical-screening/medical_examination_aliens.html
I am about a half hour to 45 minutes from the nearest hardware store, so I have an entire hardware section in my shop-nuts, bolts, c clips, rivets, springs, screws, nails, electrical supplies, grommets, plumbing stuff, paints, solvents, and so on. And its all pretty organized, in labelled...
I 695 goes to both ends of this bridge. Towards the city it would cost billions for new right of way, and dowstream, towards the salt water, it quickly gets much wider. Not a lot of good options. What does a mile of new 8 lane freeway cost?
