NATO formally taking the mantle de-risks Ukraine support from US politics. No repeat of this year's gaps.

"NATO Security Assistance and Training for Ukraine (NSATU), will be comprised of approximately 700 personnel from NATO Allied nations and select partners. The effort will be headquartered in Wiesbaden, Germany"

@AlphaCentauri @Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine
Can confirm. Modified toaster oven to allow sneaking up through low temperatures.

@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine uh, yeah, think I know a few places to try, starting in Hollywood. Won't be cheap and they need to be careful with the degrading tape lamination.

@Ironworker229 thanks. At the rate I go through these, it's time to get something better. The aggravation when they fail is...a lot.
I could maybe make something that fits down inside the grill so it could fail more gracefully. Egg-type grill, pretty deep

"As we speak, F16 jets are on their way"
U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken confirms the first F-16 fighter jets are en route to Ukraine. Norway and Belgium will also send additional aircraft, with a total of 128 jets needed to defend Ukraine's skies.

@th3j35t3r oh geez I was going on about baskets like a weirdo

@DavidSalo a neighbor's tree was hit by lightning a few days ago and now it's my problem. Funny how that works. Anyway, stay safe.

@sentientdessert ....and then the world got real weird

Here we go, Vintage or Antique industrial metal locker basket or
industrial metal laundry basket

Heavier wire gauge. Probably have to try flea markets but that's fine.

Sorry to go on about a basket; just doing my part to dilute the news.

* Stainless steel disinfection basket
* Medical Instrument Cleaning Basket
* I-Don't-Want-To-Know Basket

oooh yeah baby, on a whim added "used laboratory" to the search terms and it's funky pay dirt at the right prices.

Tractor Supply and Uline have stuff but they can't have my money. Next!

@Y2cake great options, forgot about the Container Store. This is a real brick and mortar place? I could vacation there.

@Oma_Trisha yeah, these are good. Filtered to metal. Won't break the bank. Thanks!
I'd love to use wicker but it'd just get trashed.

@LadyZurk this is very close, and closer to my price range than the $300+ stuff I was seeing. Thanks!

@LadyZurk "Garage Royalty"
Yes, yes indeed.

Umpty hundred, autocarrot. Umpty.

Anyway, I'm looking for a metal basket around 24"x 12"x 8". Know anything like that from a trade, or camping, or farming or something. Feel like what I want has a name and I'm not using it so I get garbage trucks.

Me searching local Craigslist: "wire basket"
Local Craigslist: 2017 PETERBILT 320 24YD HEIL SIDE LOADER **** - $72,950. Also it's 1500 miles away.

The ad is overloaded with empty hundred keywords and though I don't see "wire basket", it could be in there. "Slovenia" is.
