Any progress on getting more storage on a the chromebooks? Not much point in having the ability to install Android apps, if you don’t have space to install apps.

All the sex.
I’ve had two people close to my family involved in serious motorcycle accidents. The first was my Dad’s best friend (who was enough younger than my Dad that I was friends with him too), whose death would have been a “cuts and scrapes” accident if he had been wearing a helmet. Literally. Head trauma was the only major…
I think more people buy “american made” to support american workers
Except that the country of origin tells you almost nothing about where it’s produced or even engineered.
My SWAG is that a) most of your heat transfer will occur after the particular spot is sintered and b) that the heat loss to transfer is going to be small compared to the difference between sintering and melting. Moreover, esp. for materials with higher melting points (for automotive purposes mostly titanium, but also…
I suppose that depends on what you mean by ”bad” and whether we taking about large numbers of people buying inferior products because they are domestic or if they’re buying domestic because they are the best (or at least equivalent).
Laser is ~10% efficient iirc in converting electricity to the beam. But sintering only requires heating the material to just below its melting point (if I’m remembering my materials class correctly). Whereas casting requires that you heat all the metal to be used to will above melting and maintain it there until…
The energy cost for melting titanium is huge. Just that might make the DMLS more cost effective (and bring it to mass market).
DMLS is the 3-d printer I really want. Unfortunately most metal powders are highly flammable. But the results are amazing.
Bikes are sooo cheap compared to cars, and also so much more dangerous that spending $12 k on a bike + gear isn’t at all outlandish to me.
Death isn’t the only horrible scenario. There’s also paralysis. And good gear can and does often prevent that. But yeah, your helmet is the #1 death preventer
Wrong generation. We grew up with helicopter parents. My kids can break bones all they want (I’m actually ashamed of this, but my 7 year old girl has broken her femur twice and her arm once).
Because almost half the country thinks “buying American” is an important thing.

I’ve got kids, and while I’ve definitely forgotten to unbuckle them (or forgotten to go back and get them out when they were asleep), it’s a) never been in the kind of weather where they would bake and b) never for anything remotely close to seven fucking hours. Oh and c) not when I was taking them to day care. Not to…
I think the context was what made the searches problematic. He was searching for those things while his kid was dying of hyperthermia.
I think cigarettes are banned now. Mackerels are the new currency.
Durqa durrr...
It’s crazy to me that the numbers that got the XJ to 217 mph are almost pedestrian today. 540 hp from a twin turbo 3.5L? Yawn. 3200lbs? Well, actually, that’s pretty unusual these days from anything but a carbon fiber exotic. But the ring times have dropped to 67th, behind a few Camaros and a Mustang.
