Amazon refusing to show me the price of something if I do not add it to cart

Jump

  • Don't get that card. I used to have it but it would randomly output max volume static... Not a fun experience.

    • Amazon "search through reviews" is blindly just running an AI model now

    Jump

  • Got the source for that? The original story.

    • Do you sit at a desk and keyboard for multiple hours? If yes, please recommend a good chair.

    Jump

  • Same here. Work had the leather leap v2s and they were a better fit for me than a Herman Miller.

    • 'Extremely rare event:' Satellite images show lake formed in famously dry Death Valley

    Jump

  • Just playing with scenarios but I imagine something similar to Salton Sea and its evaporating toxic lake.

    • Where is spork?

    Jump

  • Soda spoon eh? Always thought that was the tea spoon.

    So what about the table spoon?

    • That number again is 1-800-O-Y-S-T-E-R. CALL NOW!

  • Will it take care of the nano-plastics for me or is that an upcoming firmware update?

    • What's some amazing technology they have in Japan that's very normal to them but would blow our minds here in the US and western world?

    Jump

  • A mindset of quality.

    CNC Machines that are built in Japan are so much Mount Betterest than their 'Made in America' counterparts. Even under the same company name.

    Visit any shop that requires quality around the world and you'll see Japanese made machines almost everywhere.

    • ‘This Has Been Going on for Years.’ Inside Boeing’s Manufacturing Mess.

    Jump

  • Is it surprising that a publicly traded company is going to drive down quality to meet (or in spirit areospace's case - attempt to make) profits?

    The union also has clashed with Spirit over whether machinists should ever be responsible for checking their own work. Workers say having separate inspectors sign off on individual work is critical for quality control; Spirit and Boeing executives say that technological advances have reduced the need for separate inspectors in some cases.

    Bad bad idea. Do not let machinists sign off on a inspection report. The incentive to hide mistakes is far too great.

    • No water for like 3 days to get that look

    • Where should I spend my last hundred dollars?

    Jump

  • Perhaps a dedicated computer backup drive? I use veeam for years and it's saved my ass a bunch of times.

    • Awesome Games Done Quick starts tomorrow!

  • I haven't watched one of these in years now.

    Which runs/races are y'all looking forward to?

    • There's some kind of use for this lighter I can't put my finger on...

    • 10x Stronger Than Kevlar: Amorphous Silicon Carbide Could Revolutionize Material Science

    Jump

  • I wish the article gave better explanation to how hard it is rather than just stating that it's not brittle... Could revolutionize the cutting tools industry if it's harder than cubicBoronNitride (CBN).

    • Why do we still use stepper motors?

    Jump

  • It seems like the argument is that at the lower price bracket, stepper motors offer higher performance than what a equivalently priced servo+encoder+controller combo can perform.

    I felt like what I was reading in this thread wasn't matching up with that I see out in industry... concerns about 'price' didn't come up until your post.

    Diamond turning machines are inherently low torque, low speed, AND nanoscale operations which uses servos for driving its respective axis. See precitech -youtube and in stark comparison Roeder's 5axis optical mold machining. Wire EDM's were all driven by servo motors until linear motors became popular. Even those famous JingDiao test samples are made on machines driven by servos.

    • Microplastics found in 90% of burgers, steaks and chicken

  • Welp, time to run the chicken through the reverse osmosis system too.

  • Ohhh interesting, just grabbed it on F-droid. I'll be playing around with this for a while.
