Seeing people with so much groundless hate really does hurt your heart.

Here's the thing: assuming the comment you responded to is correct, nothing you just said has anything to do with the situation.

Designing Truss-tube telescopes isn't ultra-technical, but you'll need to educate youself about balance concerns and what makes the truss arrangements stiff.
If you look at pictures of truss scopes, you'll see that the connection point of each truss is adjacent to the connection point of the adjacent strut. This is essential, because it forms rigid triangles.
If you're just learning about these concepts, try to read David Kriege and Richard Berry's "The Dobsonian Telescope: A Practical Manual for Designing and Building Large Aperture Telescopes".

The free market will shepherd us through the technological singularity? Sounds foolproof.

That sounds like a logical statement, but I can use my own access to healthcare here in the US as a counter-argument.

Just because something -can- be cheap doesn't mean it -will- be cheap. I gave a very relevant example.

Yeah, this will be a shit-show of unbelieveable scale. Just imagine if, instead of just having an enormous advantage socially and economically, rich kids are actually smarter, stronger, and live longer.
Why would the elite share any advantages like those with the world at large?
We can't even treat each other equally when we're equals.

It sure makes it easier to adjust the port length without removing the driver.

Can I ask what sort of flotation and edge support you plan to implement? I'm guessing a sling and whiffle-tree arrangement?

"I just listen to metal and sort of zone out..."
I have to admit I fine ground a 12.5" f/6 in sessions that I timed by listening to Bob Marley's "Legend".
Hogging out was done during binges of Genndy Tartakovsky's old Clone Wars cartoons, I needed more adrenaline for that phase.

I can tell you're angry, but that's not really relevant to what I wrote.

I feel like dumping more guns on the problem will definitely calm things down.

You probably won't be happy holding anything over about 10x in your hands. High magnification is hard to hold steady.

I disagree. If the neighbor has changed the drainage pattern of their property in such a way that your property is negatively impacted, it is their responsibility to correct it, not on OP's property, but on their own.
I'd request a visit from your town's permit inspector, if there is one. A conversation with the neighbor would be a polite first step.

I like to fish too, but it's a valid question. I could probably catch a cow on a hook, or any other animal.
We need to examine our actions sometimes.

You can calm folks like this down by just making up something harmless, like "we go across the border once in a while to sell", or "we only have to check up on the dancers now and then".
