If any seal, o-ring, gasket, etc... in a system comes into contact with excessive scale from hard water, the rubber is going to lose its elastic properties, get dirty, and ultimately stop working as well.
You put american electoralism up on a pedestal and tout its sanctity and your faith in the process. The process yielded Trump. If you truly believe in the sanctity of american electoralism, you now have no grounds to complain.
Absolutely bonkers. Anyone remember the Technology Connections video from a while back about pinball machines?
He cracked one open to reveal the "computer" like 500 relays connected with spaghetti. Can't imagine how much of a nightmare it must be to debug those. At this point, so much documentation and tribal knowledge is gone that this dude is basically reverse engineering each machine. Hats off.
Edit: article actually points out that he bought out all existing documents from one of the pinball companies.
Ah yes, Radio Free Asia. The CIA cutout that successfully convinced a bunch of people that North Koreans were getting sent to labor camps for getting the wrong haircut.
To understand how the bird flu got out of hand, KFF Health News interviewed nearly 70 government officials, farmers and farmworkers, and researchers with expertise in virology, pandemics, veterinary medicine, and more.
Together with emails obtained from local health departments through public records requests, this investigation revealed key problems, including deference to the farm industry, eroded public health budgets, neglect for the safety of agriculture workers, and the sluggish pace of federal interventions.
I have provided you with a plethora of experts who explain that this avian fku outbreak is directly linked to American officials dropping the ball, but those silly scientists and experts must have forgotten that viruses predate capitalism.. what does that even mean?
Stop trying to slyly pin this upcoming pandemic on Donald Trump. The upcoming pandemic is a result of decades of regulatory capture and a for-profit Healthcare system that both Democrats and Republicans oversaw at the behest of their billionaire handlers. The issue is not Donald Trump; it is liberal capitalism.
"The bad cop is the only reason we're in this mess. The good cop has been honest and reassuring us that they're trying their hardest to ensure we get treated fairly."
Fury Road was a Mad Max film that came out a few years ago. It was a great movie, not only for the story, but also for the effects. Its scale was massive.
In the months and years immediately following Fury Road, it was heralded as a turning point in cinema that rejected CGI in favor of practical effects. It was cast as a rejection of CGI and a return to classic practical effects. In recent years, however, we've started to reject that narrative. If you watch the movie closely, you realize it is chock-full of CGI. We just never noticed because it was done so well, and the way it was effortlessly folded into practical elements made the CGI extremely immersive. I think the lesson we all learned was that CGI, when complemented with seamless practical effects, makes for a killer visual experience.
The people who were clamoring about North Korean soldiers getting absolutely slaughtered by Ukraine are the same people who repost stories about North Koreans getting executed for not having Kim's haircut. In the same breath, they'll cast North Korea as an ultra-propagandized state, and then quote a Radio Free Asia article about how North Koreans are getting bombed out the ass by the Ghost of Kiev.
It's literally happening in this thread's comment section. Instead of reconciling how they've been duped for the past months about North Korean soldiers fighting in Ukraine, they've dug in deeper and started to parrot points about "North Koreans got addicted to masturbation once they reached Russia" - a point which the pentagon has emphatically claimed as unverified and possibly unverifiable. Absolutely no introspection from these people after having been duped by Ukraine's bonkers "intelligence".
These people never asked themselves "Huh, why is it that for the last few months I've been able to attain 1080p drone footage of Russian soldiers getting grenaded - with so much clarity I can make out the stubble on their faces - yet there has not been a single image of a North Korean casualty?" Whatever Radio Free Asia says is gospel to these people, I suppose.

Trump sure made it seem so what with Bill Barr.
