This is about the original Godzilla movie. The neutered American version was a terrible waste of time.

No they make a printer.

This would be completely useless on a modern iPhone as the fingerprint scanner is disabled after 8 hours.

No they did not. They were muzzle loaders. One of the Monitor’s inovations was an auto return system that allowed easier loading.

Japanese graphic design sensibilities are terrible across the board. Going to Japanese web sites makes my eyes bleed.

No. you just end up with an algae bloom. It does not refine itself

So my question is why didn’t they just do the whole thing with their CNC mill. No need for any of the hand crafted bullshit. Just use a ball mill and you can do all of the contours perfectly.

Oh, thats a good one! Closed door murder, with full surveillance.

There are different types of breakers.

But completely useless inside a ship. It would work great on a flight deck though.
