And an important note is that... For decades we have had paper trails fairly locked down given enough incentive. The technology isn't the problem with performing audits.

Hacking into governments will often do that yes.

Pretty huge dent to credibility that.

Can you elaborate, this seems unlikely.

If they are writing using proper materials terminology then strength tells you a lot, since it has a pretty rigorous definition: amount of energy absorbed before failure.

Which, given one of the researchers themselves is quoted talking about its strength, I'm guessing they are even unintentionally being more precise than you're expecting of them.

As for the properties: smaller sections being stronger is fairly normal amongst materials. The smaller a manufactured section, the more catastrophic any given defect will be. At a certain scale, you will be guaranteed to have either perfect, or already failed, material.

Well of course it's not, the us government wants to

The movie does a decent job portraying why nuclear bomb development was so much more complex than simply a necessary evil, a good, or an unnecessary evil. It's just not a simple topic with easy answers.

The left is not in agreement about the usage or development of the bombs.

Yeah this is clearly anti boot, but leave it to a tankie to get upset at the idea of anti oppressor satire.

Tons of jobs deal with all sorts of annoyances. Policing is objectively not the most dangerous job. The vast majority of issues police tend to face are systemic and better addressed by giving police department money to other programs.

And relatedly social workers are dollar for dollar far more effective, and when they mess up they don't turn passersby into Swiss cheese.

There are a lot of brain systems and a lot of complexity. Studies confirming something which is otherwise generally understood is par for the course. But until it's tested, it's dangerous to build theories off of it.

Plaster sculpt, then add fake skin to, and add a small linear actuator for breathing stimulation, small twitch motors under the skin, and run it under some alternating leds to stimulate blood flow coloration. Should defeat almost all facial recognition software. Might need some eye fakes.

Or just wear makeup to an insane degree. Or return to the forests and live a much happier life.

Then we'd have several hundred to a few thousand planets and need a new term for the larger celestial objects anyway. Seems silly. Planet is already arbitrary.

This book covers this. The answer is yes. Elephant skulls likely informed the Cyclops myth. Griffins were likely from bones found in mountains in Arabia or something, it's been a second since I read it.

Nobody has mentioned librewolf, which is a fantastic out of the box privacy browser. It's a Firefox fork.

Gasoline burns accidentally when fumes are released, as the stoichiometric mixture has to be pretty specific to combust.

Gasoline in a gas tank does not achieve this mixture. That's the entire job of the fuel pump and throttle in modern cars. As the other user said, there are lots of sparks and live electricity in a car crash, it's just not easy to set gasoline on fire or make it explode.

Diesel does not appear to achieve this vapor mixture readily at standard temp and pressure, like gasoline does, and therefore is technically safer in this specific regard.

In addition to the correction from the other user - there are plenty of designs that provide access to phone internals with no tools. Snap fit phone bodies work fine, there are several modern phones with them and numerous older phones. Still water resistant, and the case doesn't magically pop off just by dropping it.

(Also a case popping off from being dropped actually protects internals and the screen by absorbing some of the drop energy anyway, since the kind of drop that would easily pop a phone body off is the same kind of drop that will break screens.)

The cat part is also almost entirely irrelevant to the game. Neither the story nor the mechanics really care that you're a cat. Sure you do more climbing than walking, but you do that in uncharted too. Linear combing sections are not what I imagine when I think "cat movement."

Signatures, people not wanting to rely on phones, paper requires essentially only literacy while phones require more, more privacy with paper, honestly the list is pretty long.

Mice also get eaten by the various predators that would move in to eat them.

It's funny to me the lack of pharma, investing, oil, and defense contractors, in this list.

This isn't how it works at all. I can, and should, and do, read and consume all sorts of media with the intention of stealing from it for my own works. If you ask for writing advice, this is actually probably one of the first things you'll hear: read how other people do it.

So this does not work as an argument, "the intent of the reading" because if so humans could never generate any new media either.
