It’s really not as shocking as it sounds that a rabbi has become one of the top officials running Pornhub, the free internet pornography behemoth. After all, the investment group that bought Pornhub is called Ethical Capital Partners. And Solomon Friedman, the rabbi in question and the investment company’s co-founder and chief compliance officer, is trying to clean up internet porn. Most people might be confused by the idea of a religious leader being involved with a pornography company; after all, isn’t lust a sin? Aren’t rabbis supposed to be a kind of moral police? But Judaism is actually pretty sex positive; most Jewish texts about sex focus on understanding and regulating the act, not warning people of its dangers. The Talmud has passages instructing husbands to have regular sex with their wives, emphasizing the importance of pleasure and encouraging experimentation. There’s even a tale of a student hiding under his rabbi’s bed when his teacher has sex with his wife; when the student is caught, he argues that everything is Torah and he was just trying to learn. Mind you, Friedman was never a practicing rabbi. He grew up in an Orthodox family in Canada and was ordained in Jerusalem, but then he became a criminal defense lawyer, making a name for himself defending extremely sketchy characters accused of such offenses as sexual abuse, possession of child pornography and drunk driving. So really, Friedman’s rabbinical plaudits are just fuel for a clicky headline, like the one published by Time; his actual career is a pretty obvious fit for Pornhub. The problem with Pornhub isn’t necessarily the fact that it provides porn, though of course, plenty of people object to that too. But porn has existed for thousands of years; there’s ancient Greek pottery with erotic depictions of sex and temples in India with various hard-to-believe acrobatic positions sculpted on the walls. Besides, Pornhub is not only the best-known porn site, but the seventh most visited website in the world. (Google is number one.) It’s not going anywhere. The more pressing issue for Pornhub is how it regulates its porn. Until recently, anyone could upload a video, which has led to a lot of nonconsensual porn and child sexual abuse on the platform. Poor moderation meant that there was little recourse to get videos removed, or at least to get them removed before someone had downloaded them and reuploaded them somewhere else. And some experts object to some of Pornhub’s legal, professionally produced videos that encourage illegal activities, such as categories that fetishize incest or scenes in which the actors pretend to be children. While Friedman could theoretically apply the Talmudic arguments he learned as a young man in Jerusalem to the complex ethical questions posed by Pornhub, most of his work seems to concern complex technological challenges, such as how to digitally fingerprint videos or implement facial scans to ensure all the performers are consenting and of age. Realistically, Friedman’s Judaism is probably most relevant to white nationalist conspiracy theorists who endorse the lie that porn is a tool a cabal of wealthy Jews use to control the world, and decimate the white population by tempting them to masturbate instead of procreate. Since Friedman got involved with Pornhub, videos have been circulating on X and Reddit accusing him of encouraging pedophilia, thanks to his criminal defense work. Others list him alongside other Jews who have been involved with pornography or simply with dating apps such as Tinder as proof of a Jewish conspiracy to destroy the white nuclear family. Friedman told The Washington Post that his children have been subjected to “horrific antisemitism” since he invested in Pornhub. So is it really so weird that a rabbi oversees Pornhub? Only to antisemites. To everyone else, maybe he’s the only guy equipped to make porn ethical. This story was originally published on the Forward."" Really strange times we are living in

I didn't even look hard for price and this is what dried Lima Beans cost, and believe me after soaking that's a lot of plates of beans

That is why I was thinking salvaged from an electric forklift charger, there will be mounting plates (heat sinks) and insulator bushings already in there all made up already With those ebay diodes haw are you going to end up like this. You need 3 diodes going one way and 3 going the other. BTW the higher amperage the diode, the less cooling you will need. I mean we could get all technical and find out the resistance of each diode, and do the I2R calculation's, and then convert the Wattage to BTUs, calculate the airflow under the hood,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Or just oversize them a bit

I was thinking forklift charger because they are this type. Easy to mount and rugged

You can probably find the diodes and heat sink you need in an old electric forklift charger. The PIV of the diodes should way more than enough and the amperage should be enough, but I'd check

Yeah it might fit, I know I've bolted Delco SI back halves onto Delco DN alternators. Used the DN rotor also. I built a pair for a Cessna 310 C . I got a lot of BS about it too because they said there wasn't an STC for 10SIs for it. But everyone was fine with the 10DNs that were on it, and guess what,,, There wasn't an STC for the 10DNs either

That's a Kaiser M715 alternator.

I've converted 12v Delco SI alternators for 24 volt systems. Different rotor, different regulator. Armature and rectification was the same

Yeah well you have to do it right with heatsinks and airflow for thermal management. There are always going to be I2R heating considerations

Oh, btw. You can hook a transformer with a 10 to 1 windings ratio to that 12ish volt ac output of the alternator, and end up with a 120ish volt AC supply. The frequency will be all over the place with variations in engine speed, but it's fine for incessant lamps and universal ac/dc power tools. We used to do that back in the day with modern alternators by tapping into the 3 phase armature connections before the rectification and sneaking the wires out the back

It seems like if you wanted to do something like that, you would need 2 of those selenium full wave rectifiers and I'm only seeing one. That system is electrically the same as a modern alternator. The only difference is the modern alternator uses diodes that are small enough to fit inside the housing. Those old selenium rectifiers were huge in comparison to a modern rectifier using diodes. Actually if that selenium rectifier burned out, you could replace it with 6 diodes and not change anything else. It would function exactly the same. Lots of times doing repairs to old machinery I replace burned out selenium rectifiers with diodes. Functionally they are the same, just an electrical version of a "check valve"

People are nuts

Yeah they did the buckets in the back on the downhill (north) side. I've got some serious DC welding equipment here. Some big motor-generator units. They weld so smooth, and they are great for arc gouging. Shame I'm getting older and can't do it for long anymore. I can't get comfortable, and being comfortable is a big part of welding. I always thought when I got older I'd be able to hire young guys to do this kind of stuff. All the guys that are any good are aging out, and all the ones that say they want to learn quit as soon as they realize they are going to get greasy and maybe catch some welding sparks

If your commutator is just worn you can cut it in a lathe and then undercut the mica

Stiner had an armature for it and bushings/brushes https://antique-tractor-parts.steinertractor.com/search?w=1107456

Did you take the band off the back and look at the brushes and commutator? What is it doing, not spinning at all? Did you try testing it with jumper cables? Pos and neg ground are the same. 12 volts with jumper cables won't hurt it for a test

Yeah that's what he's got. I haven't seen one of them in like 40 years lol

Yeah They let out a nasty stink when they burn out lol BTW your son's honda should have had a Zener diode in the circuit. They leak in reverse flow at a certain voltage Just be glad that none of this was designed by Joe Lucas

Yeah I have 2 of them, but only really run one. It's a DF520 with the port in the side so I can run oil or gas in it too. I've got an almost brand new dual fuel (Gas or Oil) burner gun that I plan to put in it. I talked to the manufacturer and they said no problem setting it up for propane so I could do propane or oil The other one is an older 520 with the round door

I'd have to see it. I'm sure the bridge rectifier is connected wrong. Some LN could be used for both systems like the JB2500, but that dosen't sound like what you have
