America Strikes Iran by [[Lauren Jackson]], [[Evan Gorelick]]
-
Trump pledged as a presidential candidate to keep America out of “stupid endless wars.” But he also vowed to prevent the Islamic Republic from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
These two statements pose a potential serious logical fallacy in conjunction.
-
The U.S. attack was an “extraordinary turn for a military that was supposed to be moving on from two decades of forever wars in the Middle East,” our colleagues Helene Cooper, Eric Schmitt and Julian Barnes wrote.

Pentagon Details Multipronged Attack on Iranian Nuclear Sites by [[Helene Cooper]], [[John Ismay]]
Broad military operational outline of Operation Midnight Hammer to mitigate Iranian nuclear capability.
-
The strikes were the first operational use of the GBU-57, Mr. Hegseth said. It is a 30,000-pound guided bomb that contains the explosive power of approximately 5,500 pounds of TNT and is designed to attack deeply buried targets. It can be carried only by B-2 stealth bombers.
-
The operation used 14 GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator bombs — often referred to as “bunker busters” — with the first two dropping at 2 a.m. Sunday local time, General Caine said.
-
Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, home to the B-2 stealth bombers
-
But neither Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth nor Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, could immediately say whether Iran still retained the ability to make a nuclear weapon. Mr. Hegseth repeated President Trump’s assertion from the previous night that the nuclear sites had been “obliterated.” General Caine did not.
Given their experience and records, General Dan Caine is the better source of potential truth here.

With Military Strike His Predecessors Avoided, Trump Takes a Huge Gamble by [[David E. Sanger]]
-
Mr. Trump will doubtless claim that only he was willing to use America’s military reach to achieve a goal his last four predecessors deemed too risky.
His predecessors didn't have the same geo-political benefits in play that he did, specifically the Israel situation mentioned earlier in the article:
After Israel’s fierce retaliation for the Oct. 7, 2023 terror attacks that killed over a thousand Israeli civilians, Iran is suddenly bereft of its proxies, Hamas and Hezbollah. Its closest ally, Syria’s Bashar al-Assad, had to flee the country. And Russia and China, which formed a partnership of convenience with Iran, were nowhere to be seen after Israel attacked the country.
-
Senator Mark Warner of Virginia, the top Democrat on the Intelligence Committee, said Mr. Trump had acted “without consulting Congress, without a clear strategy, without regard to the consistent conclusions of the intelligence community” that Iran had made no decision to take the final steps to a bomb.
Does anything Trump do have a "clear strategy". Generally it seems like a semi-directed, let's try this, let's try that, what gets attention? The results seem not to matter.
-
For Mr. Trump, the decision to attack the nuclear infrastructure of a hostile nation represents the biggest — and potentially most dangerous — gamble of his second term.
gambling seems to be the by word of the Trump Administration

Gerren HotRod TypewriterCoThey are tough to install. It's not the taking things apart that gets you, it's putting it back together. I recommend not pulling a Royal carriage unless it's broken to the point there is no other option. If you like the color you can buy another $25 QDL and put the body on the new one. There is almost no reason to remove the carriage on these unless you need to replace it with another or swap out the main escapement

I saw one last week at Gary’s Typewriters in Long Beach, Ca. - someone just gave it to him as a joke or something - his review: “They ought to be ashamed of themselves!” I tried it, and he was being generous. It’s a piece of garbage. For the money you can get a nice restored machine. Or you could just light your money on fire. Either way it’d be a better experience.

$600 for refurbishing a machine that only cost $250 is not a great investment. I think your prices are a bit unrealistic. As far as the posts go: there are always two sides to every story🤷♀️
reply to u/SisterGoldenHair70 at https://reddit.com/r/typewriters/comments/1lbjr5f/sorry_to_say/mxz1ag2/
I'm honestly curious about your definition of a "machine that only cost $250" is? Make/Model? Where was it bought? What is the actual condition (both cosmetic exterior and mechanical interior as well as cleanliness)? Also, what is your definition of investment with respect to how you're going to use it? Is it a display machine? Is it for display and the occasional addressed envelope or grocery store list? Or is it something you're planning on giving moderate to heavy use on a daily or weekly basis as a professional writer?
Most typewriter repair shops won't spend more than $20 on purchasing a machine and typically they're getting machines donated for free (or for the cost of coming to pick them up); then they spend hours to clean, oil, adjust, repair and restore them for sale in the $400-600 range unless they've got rarer colors or typefaces. (At this level, you're probably not getting any new rubber at all.) The level of restoration is definitely a choice as there are restorers out there who can easlily charge in the $1,500+ range depending on how much work you want done and to what level.
As an example, if someone chooses to spend $120-200 pus shipping on something like an old/dirty Olympia SM3 with old gaskets from an outlet like ShopGoodwill.com (the current going rate for one in unknown condition and only using photos) that is going to need several hundred dollars of repair work, that's their choice. If they don't have the expertise, it's far better to buy one outright in the $500 range from a shop. Usually people are just keeping that $120 machine and limping along with what it offers instead of cleaning it up or they attempt to do the clean up work themselves. This work may seem "free", but it's time, effort, and expense of one sort or another. Economists call this opportunity cost.
There is a massive information imbalance in the typewriter market between buyers and sellers, because incredibly few people really have any idea of what they've got and what sort of condition it is in. This imbalance means that most professional shops are an absolute steal if you're looking for something in excellent condition that's going to be a work-a-day typewriter or be in good shape for another 50-75 years.
As a small example, an indiviual could call JJ Short and get a platen recovered for around $100 plus two way shipping, but you take it to a shop and you're probably looking at $180 because they're going to charge you for the time, effort, and cost of knowing what to do, where to ship it, taking it off, putting it back on, and doing the appropriate ring & cylinder, on-feet, and motion adjustments on
-
reply to u/TypewriterJustice at https://old.reddit.com/r/typewriters/comments/1lbjr5f/sorry_to_say/mxunsb6/
I think the real crime here was the quote of $200 for all this work. $200 should just barely cover the recovered platen, rollers, and new feet with any margin. The full clean, oil, and adjust is a few more hours at $40-75/hour and that's not even getting to the parts or labor on the tougher troubleshooting and repair portions. With this rough diagnosis and potential issues, I (and many others I'm sure) would be quoting closer to $500-600 for a refurbish job at this level.
Living in the LA area, I'm blessed to have 7 shops within a reasonable drive, but if I put a machine into the queue at most of them it'd be a two or three month's wait time at the very best. Most of them have been at the game for decades much less in the midst of also recently setting up a brick and mortar shop.
As a point of comparison, Lucas Dul publishes his wait list on his website (currently 84 people) where he states "Average repair cost is $300-350 for general cleaning, service, and minor repairs. Average turnaround time is 2-3 weeks." Perhaps Charlie might benefit from creating a wait list and not taking machines into the shop until his time and attention can turn directly to them?
It's not often addressed here in this fora how much one should expect to either pay or wait for repair services which aren't evenly distributed across the United States and likely even less so in many other countries. In the broader scheme of things, I think that you get a far better deal at professional shops than you're going to find within the broader public of so-called typewriter sellers (antique shops, thrift stores, etc.)
As a point of reference, I'm an advanced hobbyist with my own garage-based shop for my personal collection and even I get one or two queries a week about repairing or restoring the machines of others, so I'm at least reasonably aware of what some of the wait times can look like. I wish I had the time or stock of parts machines to do more than a handful of friends and family repairs on top of my own personal repair work.
Sadly, at the end of the day, it sounds like both sides were potentially not good at communicating expectations about how long repairs would take. If nothing else we should all be sharing more details about these issues to help level set how this all works for the broader typewriter community.

typewriter repairman here - with magnification & needle files it is sometimes possible to reshape the squashed portion of the slug(which usually requires repositioning it afterwards to get an even print) but my advice is to embrace it as part of what makes that particular machine unique…there’s literally no such thing as perfection, and twenty years from now you’ll be able to look at something you wrote & go “ohhhh this was done on that Olivetti…” (and yes, you could also replace the slug completely, but that’s a whole different can of worms)

Whenit becomes dominated by a collectivist creed, democracy will inevitably destroyitself.
-
The belief isbecoming more and more widespread that, ifthings are to get done, the respon-sible authorities mustbe freed from the fettersof democratic procedure.
Is this how the Republican Party died in America with Trump? They created an unwinnable culture war in hopes of splitting voters and ultimately caused gridlock in the house and senate. As a result, we "need" a dictator (in Trump) to get anything done.
-
A democratic assembly voting and amending a comprehensive economic plan clause by clause, as it deliberates on an ordinary bill,makes nonsense.
A variation of "a camel is a horse built by committee"
-
Donoughmore Committee,
-
They are not asked to act where they can agree,but to produce agreement on everything —the whole direction of the resourcesof the nation.
Perhaps this is where the question "can you live with this?" is beneficial in coming to consensus.
-
And to make it quite clear that a socialist government must not allow itselfto be too much fettered by democratic procedure, Professor Laski at the endof the same article raised the question “whether in a period of transition toSocialism, a Labour Government can risk the overthrow of its measures as aresult of the next general election”—and left it significantly unanswered.*
This same question seems applicable now as President Trump seems to be overthrowing institutions on the road to autocracy.
-
It may be the unanimously expressed will of the people that its parliamentshould prepare a comprehensive economic plan, yet neither the people nor itsrepresentatives need therefore be able to agree on any particular plan, The in-ability of democratic assemblies to carry out what seems to be a clear mandateof the people will inevitably cause dissatisfaction with democratic institutions.
Problems with democracy
Is this what America has been facing in the years since roughly Reagan? We have a general direction, but the specifics are difficult to hammer out in an increasingly fractuous political environment thus leading to gridlock.
This is the benefit of independent agencies like the Fed, the FCC, or the EPA which can worry about how the rubber ought to meet the road.
(Of course the issue can become a rogue president like DJT dismantling these institutions because he "doesn't like them.")
How can these institutions be hardened against this sort of whole sale destruction of norms?
-
‘The difficulty is well known to socialis It will soon be halfa tur sincethe Webbs began to complain of “the increased incapacity of the House ofCommons to cope with its work.”*
-
But it is a mechanism which canbe used only for a common end; and the question of the precise goal towardwhich all activity is to be directed will arise as soon as the executive power hasto translate the demand for a single plan into a particular plan,
Here is one of the issues which will hopefully hamper Donald J. Trump. He's got an "idea of a plan", but the people who are actively supporting him may not support his "particular plan."
-
We can unfortunately not indefinitelyextend the sphere of common action and still leave the individual free in hisown sphere. Once the communal sector, in which the state controls all themeans, exceeds certain proportion of the whole, the effects of its actions dom-inate the whole system. Although the state controls directly the use of only alarge part of the available resources, the effects of its decisions on the remain-ing part of the economic system become so great that indirectly it controlsalmost everything, Where, as was, for example, true in Germany as early as1928, the central and local authorities directly control the use of more than halfthe national income (according to an official German estimate then, 53 perthey control indirectly almost the whole economic life of the nation.There is, then, scarcely an individual end which is not dependent for itsachievement on the action of the state, and the “social scale of values” whichguides the state’s action must embrace practically all individual ends.
This is an interesting historical example, but does it really hold true? Couldn't the percentage be significantly smaller?
Compare, for example the work of Schelling:<br /> - Schelling, Thomas C. “Dynamic Models of Segregation.” The Journal of Mathematical Sociology 1, no. 2 (July 1, 1971): 143–86. https://doi.org/10.1080/0022250X.1971.9989794.
Here a very small minority can dramatically effect the outcome of society.
-
But not only when thestate undertakes direct control in fields where there is no such agreement is itbound to suppress individual freedom,
-
social ends”
-
Not only do we not possess such an all-inclusive scale of values: it would beimpossible for any mind to comprehend the infinite variety of different needsof different people which compete for the available resources and to attach adefinite weight to each.
-
individualism
-
the basic fact that it is impos-sible for any man to survey more than a limited field, to be aware of the urgencyof more than a limited number of needs.
What he's getting at is that this in an incredibly complex problem, but he doesn't have any vocabulary of complexity theory given that he's writing in 1944.
-
‘The essential point for us is that no such complete ethical code exists.
If it could what would it's mathematical structure look like? Certainly not linear.
-
morals have more and more tended to be~come merely limits circumscribing the sphere within which the individualcould behave as he liked.
-
We are not concerned here with the question whether it would be desirableto have such a complete ethical code.
The old Republican party that brought Hayek to the fore must be spinning in their graves that the current version not only doesn't have a complete ethical code, but that it seems either wholly inconsistent or altogether absent.

That our present society lacks such “con-scious” direction toward a single aim, that its activities are guided by the whimsand fancies of irresponsible individuals, has always been one of the main com-plaints ofits socialist critics.
While Hayek aims this at economics, it's equally applicable to sociology. As a case in point, we currently see Donald J. Trump using his bully pulpit to push a social agenda and lead a culture war in America.
Socialism of culture

Among the more specialized examples were so-called “double-gothic” typefaces. They are characterized by including a set of uppercase letters while the corresponding small-caps take the place of the lowercase. “Double” refers to the two uppercase-shaped glyph sets while “gothic” is simply the American term for sans-serif.

RT Dromo is a typographic line-up of vintage concert ticket typography from the 1980s performed with the sturdiness of an all-purpose grotesque. Echoing functionalist shapes proven in the challenging environments of impact printing it remixes them into a contemporary digital composition.
The new RT Dromo Collection comes in a total of 16 fonts in 4 weights, freshly complemented with corresponding italic and monospace styles. Once conceived as a single weight custom typeface, RT Dromo is now a versatile family for a wide range of uses.

The Welsh 'll' is how we write the phoneme (sound) /ɬ/ which is called the voiceless lateral fricative. This sound is not a part of English phonology. In fact the only other European language which has it is Icelandic and then it's only found in clusters. Because English lacks the /ɬ/ sound, people who are unfamiliar with it often struggle to articulate it. Depending on where it is in a word, the English speaker will approximate it as /k/ before /l/ (klan for llan), or as /l/ in isolation (alan for allan) and sometimes /θl/ in medial position (Lanethli for Llanelli). People will always approximate a phoneme which is alien to them. Just as English speakers do not pronounce the French and German /y/ as /y/ but usually as something like /u/. Often phonemes like /x/ and /χ/ are realised as /k/ (e.g. lock for Scottish loch).

Typewriter Typefaces: Pica vs Elite, an explainer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwCD69jUPps
Pica machines (10 characters per inch) will usually have a scale up to about 80-84.
Elite machines (12 characters per inch) will have a scale up to 100.
On Olympia machines, script only comes in Elite sizes (scale to 100 on platen).
Edit: fixed the appropriate CPI numbers

"Mother the mail"
gendered subservience
"coding boobytraps"
"I think you'll like the half sheet better. It is faster." —Mr. Typewriter, timestamp
A little bit of the tone of "HAL" from 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). This is particularly suggestive as H.A.L. was a one letter increment from I.B.M. and the 1966 Royal 660 was designed to compete with IBM's Selectric
This calm voice makes suggestions to a secretary while H.A.L. does it for a male astronaut (a heroic figure of the time period). Suddenly the populace feels the computer might be a bad actor.
"We're living in an electric world, more speed and less effort."—Mr. Typewriter<br /> (techno-utopianism)

🌲When Themed Logs are More Useful than Daily Notes by [[Eleanor Konik]]
Konik seems to have realized that filing things topically can be a valuable practice as if this wasn't the mode of the day for centuries now. How did the daily note become such a thing that this was lost? Is it the focus on notebook-based bullet journals? Programmers creating daily notes?

Bring Your Own Disruption: Rhizomatic Learning in the Composition Class by [[Tanya Sasser]]
-
We must wholly re-envision the purposes, processes, and products of First-Year Composition. We must invite FYC students to not only bring their own devices — in both the technological and denotative sense of the word — but to bring their own disruptions, and discover ways to use both for their own authentic ends.
A nice Rx presented here with some discussion potentially about how NOT to do it, but no mention of tools or scaffolding about HOW to do it.
Note taking systems? Commonplace books? Alternate methods? Pencil, pen, fountain pen, quill, stylus and wax tablet, typewriter, writerdeck, etc.?
This sounds exactly like the sort of place in which Umberto Eco or Bob Doto could be easily brought to bear.
I'm not sure if there's even a basic knowledge of classic rhetoric here. How have we gone so far afield?
-
Invention will need to be tackled head-on via workshops, whole-class and small-group discussions, and collaborative practice.
A hint at knowledge of the old rhetoric version of inventio?

Because of the geometry of the JP-7's ribbon vibrator, which hinges from the right rather from the middle, the ribbon can rub against the paper/platen. To remedy this, one can mis-thread the left side to keep the ribbon away from the paper.

Spring 2025 ABQ Type-In by [[Joe Van Cleave]]
Public libraries are an excellent place and resource for hosting type-ins.

Develop a mailing list to be able to contact people for future events.
Joe having his other hip replacement surgery in July 2025, so perhaps not as much activity for him just after.

Eric Zencey wrote that the free market economy Hayek advocated is designed for an infinite planet, and when it runs into physical limits (as any growing system must), the result is a need for centralized planning to mediate the problematic interface of economy and nature. "Planning is planning, whether it's done to minimize poverty and injustice, as socialists were advocating then, or to preserve the minimum flow of ecosystem services that civilization requires, as we are finding increasingly necessary today."[70]
-
Since publication, Hayek has offered a number of clarifications on words that are frequently misinterpreted: "Socialism", as Hayek used it, refers to state socialism and is used to mean state control of the economy, not a welfare state[39] "Classical liberal ideals", means liberty, freedom and individual rights, as Hayek understood them[40]
