Most likely secondary processes and pre-existing supplier qualification. While most die casters can do Mg alloys secondary machining may be challenging. Without the prints in front of me it is hard to say why.

The article doesn’t give enough detail but if they just moved the die they would also need a supplier with…

It is an example showing that inflation is a monetary policy to reduce the value of the currency.
Gasoline and silver are both commodity products. Each the result of a process of separation from raw material from the earth.

Here’s some math on gasoline, including the taxes on it:

Metal detectors do not require any pose. Body scanners require the pose. The body scanners were laying in wait to be sold to the federal government when the underpants bomber was allowed on a flight despite various irregularities that would have kept any ordinary person off the flight.

Some things yes the outside can simply be changed, others not so much. Fedgov has a number of screwy regs on things. This switch I don’t know but for things where they do exist it is just best to borrow an approved one.

Now say it can be changed. That still takes time and money. Someone has to do it. Manage it. make…

If it were treated like a system produced by any established automaker it would be much _WORSE_. TM is still being treated with kid gloves compared to what other automakers have gone through for much less.

Just look at what happened to Audi when some customers mashed the accelerator instead of the brake. TM whining…

““a white lady on a bike who veered off as Caleb and I were walking in her direction” and that she was the one who “saw fit to report me to security.””

The pose was most certainly chosen because it is one of surrender/submission. More care is given to design of this nature than most think.

It is a ritual because as has been proven over and over again the TSA creates an illusion of security. It’s just a ritual to produce that illusion.

In a voluntary free society the…

“also had a hard time because when I read “submission ritual””

If you have no interest you should have not started it and you are free to discontinue at any moment. I am not sure why I need cites for Hamiltonians, federalists, anti-federalists, the articles of confederation vs. the USC. It’s generally considered basic knowledge. It was required education to get past 8th grade…

Your cognitive dissonance has apparently been triggered.

Passenger trains in the USA are entirely government affairs. The roads are government controlled. The federal government’s border patrol has made much of the populated areas of the USA constitution free zones with the law that allows them to set up checkpoints 100mi from any border or coast. The local police use DUI…

Deliberate ignorance on display.

Um, it’s a little over five lines. Hardly any words at all. Three whole sentences. Twitter must be causing mental atrophy.

“Ah, so the ninth Amendment can be broadly applied to any single thing. That reminds me! Just this morning, my right to blast down the road at 70 mph”

You’re the one that invoked the rights the founders chose to protect via the USC with no understanding of it. Apparently you’ve chosen to double down on ignorance.…

“You give up those basic rights as you voluntarily enter the secure zone of the airport.”

Airlines are partnered with the government socializing the cost of security and thus it is not exactly voluntary. But you’ll say use rail (government, TSA has shown up there time to time) or drive (again, government puts up its…

“right to fly without being hassled as envisioned by are founding fathers’”

You can do RTV neater than that. Pull it off and try again! All kidding aside, you can probably make a splice piece out some fairly UV resistant rubber and attach it on the underside with rubber cement or RTV that will be hidden from view and used as just filler in the gap but not overlapping because the patch piece…

Air travel has become a submission ritual to condition people to being bossed around by empowered low level employees of the government and appropriately partnered corporations. This is not without purpose and intent. It will be increasingly leveraged in more and more aspects of life. Some examples we have already…

This car is at the right point age/value wise and was in the right shape for companies to just say screw it. It’s not worth a ton as a collector vehicle and it needed considerable work to be worth anything more than scrap to them. By the time they found any remaining records and got it all sorted out they would have…
