Quote of the Week

This week my quote is much more than a quote, its a decent excerpt from Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler.  I find it especially relevant with all the lies we hear during election season.

The size of the lie is a definite factor in causing it to be believed, because the vast masses of a nation are in the depths of their hearts more easily deceived than they are consciously and intentionally bad (there is more ignorance than evil). 
The primitive simplicity of their minds renders them more easy victims of a big lie than a small one, because they themselves often tell little lies but would be ashamed to tell big ones.
Such a form of lying would never enter their heads. They would never credit others with the possibility of such great impudence as the complete reversal of facts. Even explanations would long leave them in doubt and hesitation, and any trifling reason would dispose them to accept a thing as true. 
Something therefore always remains and sticks from the most imprudent of lies, a fact which all bodies and individuals concerned in the art of lying in this world know only too well, and therefore they stop at nothing to achieve this end. 
- Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)

Comparing the Pixel 9 Pro XL to OnePlus 12/13

  I've used the Pixel 9 Pro XL and OnePlus 13. My current device is the OnePlus 12. I'm in the US so my experience will probably be slightly different from yours. I've had trouble deciding between devices so I hope this helps. Pixel 9 Much better camera than the OnePlus 12 or 13. They're all capable of taking great photos in ideal conditions (well lit areas). Pixel handles motion much better (even better than the 13). The 13 tends to be really oversaturated and does oversharpen photos. If you want photos that have a ton of "pop" the 13 will be a better choice. Pixel is more consistent and pictures will match reality better (more color accurate). Telephoto is better on the Pixel (if you buy the Pro). Charging is slower. Pixel Pro can hit 45 watts if you have the almost non existent specific charger. Its usually 37 watts. Its easy to forget that OnePlus 6 and 7 series used 30 watt chargers. It'll take over an hour to fully charge the phone. Th...

Drolet HT-2000 Extra Large Wood Stove

Drolet HT-2000 Since our old Blaze King bit the dust, we replaced it with the Drolet HT-2000.  It was a special order from Menards for $1099.  Wait and watch carefully, you can grab it with the 11% rebate.  Its free shipping to the store.  Otherwise, you're looking at a couple hundred in shipping fees to your home.  I also ordered the blower for $100.  Drolet will send a 25% off coupon after registering the warranty so it might be worthwhile waiting to order the blower.
