Soldering something like this would probably be fine, even just bending it into position would probably be durable enough. For something a little lower investment than welding tho this would probably be a good low stakes project to learn brazing.
In the air they are highly survivable long range bomb trucks, that all these ones had to be destroyed in drone attacks on the ground is kind of evidence of that.
The US has used its strategic bombing forces for non nuclear attacks extensively as well, including known use of the B2 against the Houthis and B52 against IS in Syria.
Lots of manufacturing operations are terrible to work for, but there is a general gap in the manufacturing labor pool in the US. I've worked at a handful of different shops over the years, and most places I've been have offered decent bonuses for recruitment referrals because they struggled to find people. Even the places that paid decent and were aright to work at.
I've had a lot of wildlife encounters, including bears, wolves and moose, but seeing a wolverine is the only time I've ever removed the safety from my bear spray, and one of the few times I've started to psych myself up mentally to fight an animal.
Luckily it was pretty much a non story, I was hiking up a forest service road in western Montana on the Pacific Northwest Trail, and heard a noise behind me. I turned to see what looked like a 4ft tall badger trundle out of the bush about 40 feet back. It kinda stood or sat up on its back legs and we locked eyes for moment as I drew and readied bear spray. The moment passed and it slumped back to all fours and just ambled away down the forest service road away from me.
Gen Z grads say their college degrees were a waste of time and money as AI infiltrates the workplace
Trades did well for me, and financially nearly all my close friends who went trades are doing better than nearly all my close friends who went to college.
Oh that's what's freaking them out?
Just a note for people looking deeper into it:
Joseph Conrad is the author of Heart of Darkness, the book Apocalypse Now is based on. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Conrad
Joseph Campbell is the author of The Hero with a Thousand Faces, which is where the hero's journey, monomyth idea comes from. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Campbell
Does this even matter?? The chilling effect of 245% vs 145% or even 45% has gotta be pretty marginal.
Is it really next to no maintenance, or is that just ad copy?
Have you noticed much ride feel difference between it and a chain?
Do you know much about different belt drive systems / if they are really materially different from each other? Seems like its kinda between gates and veer for options?
As far as Internally geared hubs, I've only ever ridden old sturmy archer, I'm guessing modern ones have come a long way, but how do they perform?
Anyone here have experience with belt drive bicycles?
I'm probably buying a new bike in the next couple weeks or so, and am intrigued by belt drives, but I don't know that much about them. Anyone got experience with them?
Electric skateboards seem cool but terrifying. A friend of mine broke both their legs on an electric skateboard like 3 or 4 years ago and is only just now starting to be able to do real physical activity again. They weren't new to electric skateboards either, it'd been one of their main modes of transit for like a decade at that point.
World class conciliator
Its pretty reasonable that if you see a thing that is disguising itself as spam, and you don't know that it is only disguising itself as spam. To one, not click the link, but also to downvote or report and move on.
The person making the joke probably knows that it is probably going to have a high miss rate, which doesn't mean they shouldn't do it.
I'm noy sure whatvyou mean by experience piece here?
But yeah, I think I agree. if tariffs hit particularly hard it could definitely still go up, given how sweeping the proposed tariffs are and that shipping itself is probably going to get more expensive as a result. Probably everything is going to get more expensive.
What is the swim shuffle??
Tariff uncertainty has been in the air since the US election, it'd be wild for them to not atleast consider it in their pricing decisions.
I already mainly write with #1s
I've seen some mentions of AM2R, which I love, but also wanna shout out the romhack Super Metroid Redesign.
Its hard for me to pick an absolute favorite, but Fusion probably gets it today from me.
The super + alttp rando is so fun
Recommend a game for me to play with my partner
My partner and I occasionally play games together, but they pretty much only play word puzzle games on their own. I'm not very good at word games though, and they don't have very good spatial skills, so we frequently find ourselves mismatched. We have a switch and a single decent gaming pc, and a pretty old laptop.
The biggest hit for us has been Baba is You because it is slow paced, and combines words and logic and spatial reasoning. Our biggest problem was that its not actually coop, so we would just alternate who played, which can disengage the other person. My partner also thought its aesthetic is cute.
Our next positive example is probably Snipperclips is also a pretty slow paced puzzler, is mostly spatial skills, but we could play at the same time. They also liked how interactive the avatars are, and particularly snipping my avatar up.
The first miss is overcooked, it was a bit too chaotic, and my partner felt a little lost and uncoordinated. They don't remember it super
gloves of archery + hand crossbows interaction
Do the gloves of archery work with dual hand crossbows? When I equip them the damage preview doesn't change, but it just calls out ranged weapon damage, so it seems like it should work.
PCIE M.2 adapter cards
I'm considering adding more storage to my PC, and came across PCIe to M.2 adapter cards. I was wondering if performance would suffer on the adaptor card vs directly on the mobo? The M.2 slot is pretty much a PCIe x4 slot, so a a PCIe x16 should be able to drive 4 M.2 SSDs without issue right?
