Tik Tok star's murder “is a chilling reminder of the danger women face for simply existing publicly. Her story echoes a long, painful pattern of silencing and gendered violence.”
The OEM vs. third-party debate for P&H crane parts hinges on your specific circumstances. OEM parts are ideal for critical systems, while third-party options offer savings and availability, particularly for older equipment.
Scheduled maintenance is essential for keeping cranes running smoothly, minimizing downtime, and ensuring safety. But when it's time to replace parts during these intervals, a key question arises: should you stick with OEM parts or consider third-party options?
For P&H crane operators, this decision is particularly important due to the equipment's complex engineering. Whether you're overseeing operations or performing repairs, the parts you choose impact performance and costs. Let's dive into the debate.
Why Maintenance Schedules Matter
P&H cranes follow servicing schedules based on operating hours, workload, and site conditions. Skipping these intervals can lead to hydraulic breakdowns, worn drivetrains, or structural damage. Regular maintenance prevents these issues by addressing wear before it escalates.
During servicing, though, the choice between OEM and third-party parts becomes a critical consideration.
OEM Parts: The Trusted Standard?
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts come from the crane's original builder. For P&H crane parts, this ensures components are designed to the machine's exact specifications. Benefits include:
Perfect compatibility. No need for modifications or workarounds.
Reliable quality. OEM parts meet the crane's original performance standards.
Warranty assurance. Using OEM parts often preserves warranty coverage.
However, OEM parts can be expensive, and for older P&H cranes, they may be hard to source due to limited stock or supply chain disruptions.
Third-Party Parts: A Budget-Friendly Option?
Third-party parts, or aftermarket components, are made by independent manufacturers. They're generally more affordable and accessible, especially through a specialized crane parts supplier that carries parts for P&H and other brands.
Potential risks to consider:
Inconsistent quality. Some aftermarket parts are excellent; others may fall short.
Fit challenges. Slight variations can lead to installation issues.
Limited OEM support. You may depend on the supplier for technical guidance.
Despite these concerns, many operations use third-party parts effectively for routine components like filters, seals, or hydraulic hoses, especially when sourced from a reputable crane parts supplier.
P&H Crane Parts: Balancing Quality and Availability
P&H cranes are built for tough jobs, but their intricate systems require precise components. For critical parts like slew gears, hydraulic pumps, or control systems, many owners opt for OEM P&H crane parts to ensure safety and performance.
For older P&H models, however, OEM parts can be scarce. Third-party crane parts suppliers step in, offering aftermarket solutions designed for legacy cranes. Some suppliers even produce reverse-engineered P&H crane parts that rival OEM standards, providing a cost-effective alternative.
Making an Informed Choice
Here's a straightforward approach to choosing parts:
Go with OEM parts when: - Your crane is still under warranty. - You're replacing high-risk components like boom assemblies or safety systems. - You've had issues with third-party parts in the past.
Consider third-party parts when: - You're maintaining an older P&H crane with limited OEM support. - The part is non-critical, like gaskets, belts, or wear strips. - Your crane parts supplier has a strong reputation for quality and reliability.
The Importance of Skilled Installation
Whether you choose OEM or third-party P&H crane parts, proper installation is crucial. A poorly installed part can fail quickly, regardless of its quality. Use technicians with experience servicing P&H cranes, preferably those familiar with your model.
Document all maintenance thoroughly—parts used, service dates, and operating hours. This helps with compliance and spotting early warning signs of trouble.
Closing Thoughts
The OEM vs. third-party debate for P&H crane parts hinges on your specific circumstances. OEM parts are ideal for critical systems, while third-party options offer savings and availability, particularly for older equipment.
Most P&H owners benefit from a hybrid strategy: OEM for high-stakes components and a trusted crane parts supplier for routine parts. Whatever you choose, never skip scheduled servicing—it's the foundation of a reliable crane.

This works great! I no longer have to switch back to Graphical Emacs for this. I can stay in Terminal Emacs, which I love to use so much more than graphical.
So I've been looking at this guy Sergio Gor, who's been described as one of the most powerful figures in the Trump administration: Director of the White House Office of Presidential Personnel.
Per The Times of Malta:
"While not the most glamourous sounding position, Gor’s role will see him wield considerable influence in the Trump government, responsible for vetting the appointment of thousands of employees.
Meanwhile, The New York Post wrote on June 17 that Gor still hasn't been vetted himself:
"...three administration insiders told The Post that the vetter-in-chief has not turned in his Standard Form 86, or SF-86 — a more than 100-page set of questions required for officials who need security clearances."
"Among the questions applicants must answer under threat of criminal penalties is where they were born and whether they have any foreign connections."
"Gor claims to be from the island country of Malta, though an official there could not confirm his birthplace when provided his exact birthday, saying: “No acts are registered with the provided details.”
"Gor declined to divulge his birthplace to The Post, other than to say it was not Russia."
His Wikipedia page says he was born in 1986 in Malta, and later moved w/ family to Los Angeles. But there indications he was born in Russia in 1980.
Sergio Gor is known to have worked on the campaign of the conservative former Rep. Steve King, and a search in Domaintools finds Sergio Gor registered Steveking.com way back when. Domaintools says Gor used the email address sergio.gor@gmail.com, which was also used to register the vanity domain sergiogor.com.
Constella Intelligence, a threat hunting platform that indexes breached data, finds this email address used the rather unique and long password: 961649507273. Constella further finds that this password is almost exclusively tied to a bunch of email accounts for the same name, including sgoryachev999@rambler.ru, goryachev-sergey@yandex.ru, sergio-gor@yandex.ru sergio-gor@qip.ru, goryachev-sergey@ya.ru, goryachev-sergey@list.ru and goryachev-sergey@gmail.com.
Constella also says goryachev-sergey@yandex.ru has multiple entries in Russian government databases for a Sergey Anatolyevich Goryachev, DOB, Nov. 20, 1980, phone +79689210000. This person appears to have lived in Saratov, RU, has a tax ID number, etc.
Here's a mind map I put together on these findings. The password thing is very hard to get past.

Running *local* LLM models directly from Emacs (via ellama) is pretty freaking cool. Being able to ask typical simple questions and get answers formatted into an org-mode buffer w/o being online (no ads, no rampant data collection) ... wow.
Emacs, ellama, ollama, qwen3:30b (thinking disabled via prompt) on a Mac mini M4 Pro. Takes 5-10 minutes to setup. Most of the time was spent sorting out what the heck folks are already doing.

Mildly surprised unfortunately to see targeted ad based on ethnicity, beliefs, sexual orientation, etc. despite it being supposedly illegal in the EU.
Still insightful to see which organizations used such sensitive criteria, and which ones they used—kudos to the European Commission for its political targeting (page 9).
So I want to change my legal name and gender this year; I first want to do the changes in the Netherlands as it's easier for me for various reasons, but that also means carrying over the changes to the Polish side as I am still a citizen of that country.
However moving over the changes also means adjusting my last name to make the ending match my new legal gender (as yes. plenty of last names are gendered. it's stupid.) - and I don't know how the Dutch side will handle that change?
Is there any procedure for such a small change in the BRP? There's little available information for that, and it pisses me off that despite the amount of Polish (and Slavic in general) migrants in this country the civic servants are still ignorant to how our last names work...
@pluralistic The most beautiful takedown of libertarianism I have seen was when someone approached our reference desk, told my colleague that she had taken an online political ideology test that labeled her as libertarian and wanted to know more about it, and he replied “You’re seeking that information at a publicly-funded agency so that test wasn’t accurate.”
A libertarian friend came to stay and spent about four uninterrupted hours trying to persuade me of the superiority of libertarianism. At the end of it, he was thirsty and went to get a glass of water from the tap. He stopped and said “Is the water here OK to drink?”
It was 2AM and my filters had long since checked out. Without thinking, I just said “That depends on who bought the water company.”
the only libertarian I can remember engaging with told me he has his own well, sends his kids to private school and only drives on tolled roads. It's like some people actually WANT to lie about their whole lives to support a shitty position.
I identify as a libertarian, perhaps it's because I'm SE Asian, but my philosophy is not only to reduce harm to myself but also to others. This is one reason why I ride a bicycle, mask when I have a cold, and farm as ethically as possible because harming others leads to government intervention, which tends to be terribly inconvenient and often stressful.
But it seems American libertarians think liberty from consequences?
@mishari @Iwillyeah @johnhattan @angusm US "libertarians" are anti-government, anti-regulation, anti-anyone who isn't them, and fond of the writings of Ayn Rand. They don't give a damn about anyone but themselves.
