If they did, I never once saw it...

That chasing happiness is a fool's errand.

Emotions come and go, wax and wane. One cannot be happy all the time.

Look for meaning - the great thinkers througout time have repeatedly observed that meaning is what matters.

The tv comedy Upstart Crow brilliantly skewers Romeo & Juliet along with Shakespeare. I forget which episode, but it's only 3 seasons and they're all fantastic.

I was thinking binding post too, but those just don't ever get tight like a rivet. It may still work, just be a little loose. Loctite is a smart idea as insurance.

Maybe add a nylon washer between the parts, so it compresses just a little when tightening the binding post. Would make for a smooth motion as a bonus.

A machine screw with a crown nut and lock washer would work well. At least the crown nut would make for a nice smooth cap.

Those machine rivets are hard to beat for clamping strength with minimal exposed fastener.

Yea, I've never seen a gelcap that small, but it looks exactly like a gelcap.

So I'm with you, it's a gelcap

Yep, juvenile.

Sorry, I need to use my pocket computer, I want higher info density.

This is just dumbing things down.

Why would one be willing to sink hours!

I think you misunderstand the word "self" :

noun

plural selves

a person or thing referred to with respect to complete individuality:

one's own self.

a person's nature, character, etc.:

his better self.

personal interest.

Philosophy:

the ego; that which knows, remembers, desires, suffers, etc., as contrasted with that known, remembered, etc.

the uniting principle, as a soul, underlying all subjective experience

Sounds to me like you're more interested in the ego portion of self.

I've spent years doing things for myself, my friends, my family, not from ego, but because I believe the things I've done are important (either to me or to my friends/family), and that I'm the person that can do those things.

And if anyone else has found what I've done to be useful, then I'm pleased to find that so, and consider it my little bit of contributing to the world, and making someone else's life a little easier. I don't need to know this from anyone, I'm just glad if it's happened.

We already have synch issues with a single heart (things like arrythmias). I'm not sure two hearts in a mammal would even work, given the increase in distance for signaling - seems a lot of opportunity for error.

But if the nodes are connected, it's still a single pump.

You're merely choosing to redefine the terms. The nodes are part of the heart as a system - remove the nodes and well, the pump no longer pumps.

Your argument is like saying you can split a multi-cylinder automotive engine in half, leave the ignition system in place, and you have 2 engines.

No, you have one engine split in two, with it's electrical timing system still determining how each cylinder maintains the exact same timing as before.

(Automotive engines are essentially air pumps with very specific timining mechanisms, as each cylinder's output affects other cylinders, akin to the timing in a heart).

And even a singular heart can have some weirdness when it's own timing signals find alternate paths, like in some arrythmias.

I can only imagine the chaos of trying to keep signals synchronized between two hearts.

But not inaccurate

Is English a second language for you? (Serious question, not being snarky). Would help with how to frame an answer.

With "He died" - the word "died" is a verb (it's what he did), it's the action that takes place. It's functionally (though not literally) equivalent to saying "He fell".

With "He's dead", the verb is "is" - "He is (dead)", describing a state of being/existence. "Dead" functions as an adverb (I think, English class was a long time ago), modifying "is", with the information that he exists, just no longer as a living being.

"He is", while not obvious, is a functionally correct/complete sentence (just ask Descartes).

Hope that helps and I request corrections/clarifications from grammarians and language boffins.

Is ABS problematic in sun? I wouldn't think it was, since it's been used for decades in the automotive world on exposed stuff (I have a 90's motorcycle with a fair bit of exposed ABS and it's surprisingly fine).

Maybe the auto world has additives for stability?

Yea, gotta be something odd with your setup.

Currently I have one phone (of several) thats syncing en excess of 10,000 files, some only on Wifi (with 3 access points), some wifi/cell data.

ST knows the state of a file, so a disconnect should have no effect. If you're getting corrupted files, I wonder if something else is going on which may also affect another sync tool.

Try Resilio for the same folders, see if you have the same problem (disable Syncthing of course, otherwise conflicting edits will cause file corruption).

Changing direction by definition is an acceleration. If it wasn't, then all our math about planets, rockets getting to planets, etc, would be wrong.

A steering wheel could be called a "centripetal accelerator", since it induces acceleration toward the center of a radius/circle.

This is high school level physics, one of the first things you learn.

Yes he was. You should ask for your money back. I don't know how you'd complete even intro physics getting this wrong, as the formulas all depend on it.

This is like high school physics - change in direction is a change in acceleration.

Even better, you can experience this directly - turn the wheel abruptly at a moderate speed - what you feel is called acceleration.

Can those containers hold hundreds of pounds of... anything?

I'm assuming it's linoleum, which would go with the pink tub era.

Otherwise, an artist needs a visit from Vinnie Goombah.
