I wonder if real mine sweepers ever have this exact same conversation?

Cause no trouble.

Honestly, if we're taking the stance of "lets run the government like a business*,

It's just good marketing.

It makes people in other countries that little bit more likely to buy something made in the USA, or to visit as tourists or to volunteer to help during a natural disaster.

The example you're referring to isn't even in the millions - it was around $70K! Ireland spent $163 Billion on Amercian services because of a good, long standing relationship between the two countries.

Contributions to global organisations is what is known as "soft power" - for example, the only time NATO article 5 has been invoked is by the USA after 9/11

And guess what - every other country stood up and came to America's defence. In the grand scheme of things, it's a pretty good deal to spend a few million for the billions you get back in cooperative agreements with the rest of the world.

Thanks for being honest. What is Trumps actual plan?

What you want to maximise is overlapping surface area and glue.

How you get there will depend on your CAD skills.

One option is to print a 3rd sleeve that you push both parts into. Another option is to cut a 1.5mm deep slice out of the top face of the left part, and a 1.5mm slice out of the bottom of the right part so they slot together with as much surface area overlapping as possible.

https://youtu.be/FzCm1iTf8PA might be helpful, but all the examples are about quite chunky parts.

Do you care if the plastic is on the outside? I've got a Morphy Richards one that is all metal except for the handle.

Edit: and also the little transparent bit where you see how much water is inside. Hard to make that out of plastic or wood. The electrical cable also contains plastic but that seems important.

Edit edit: Now that I think about it, a 100% metal electric kettle sounds terrifying.

A "Big Things" road trip is the best way to see Australia

Dear Hitler,

KYS.

Sincerely, the good guys

Since this is a science community, can I ask what studies directly link these microplastics to the specific adverse affects?

I see a lot of "BPA microplastics are hormone disruptors" and "microplastics found in placentas!" Etc ... ok, but are they the same microplastics in these studies?

It sounds like when everyone puts scarequotes around "chemicals"...

There are people who work to benefit others and there are people who work to benefit only themselves.

Anyway, you should play BioShock

On my phone it says "Icelandic Ocean"?

'Aurenkin' is not in the pleasers file. This incident will be reported.

Yeah, but what will impress Jodie Foster?

Tegmark's MUH is the hypothesis that our external physical reality is a mathematical structure.[3] That is, the physical universe is not merely described by mathematics, but is mathematics — specifically, a mathematical structure.

Look, I only heard about this concept, so maybe there's more to it, but branches of mathematics are just a set of rules that we create.

Sometimes these rules can be applied to real systems, in our reality, and that helps to describe and understand the universe.

But it's totally possible to come up with infinite nonsensical, useless mathematical systems that have nothing to do with the universe. The existence of these doesn't mean that we have or could rewrite reality.

Yeah, fuck them for trying

I agree with the sentiment, but this article is a click farm.

Here is all the content:

I think of the Commodore Amiga as the first psychedelic computer. Celso Martinho, though, is willing to go a step further: he thinks it was the first perfect computer.

I consider the A1000 a significant piece of home computing history. Arguably one of the most important machines of the 16-bit revolution period, considered by many to be the first multimedia computer, it marked the beginning of Commodore's last cycle, after the huge success of the C64, in the history of personal computing.

I tried to learn coding on the Commodore Amiga and didn't get far; my problem was I wanted to make games that looked as good as stuff like Shadow of the Beast and it got difficult quickly thanks to all the powerful parts that weren't a Motorola 68000.
