I use windows 11 at work. I run solidworks, which is a 3D CAD/modeling program so my work computer is reasonably powerful with a decent chunk of RAM.

My laptop from 2020 uses mint. It’s faster, although I havent tried to use solidworks on it because I’d have no idea where to start on getting that to run.

I bet there is HEAVY security around his room. Or possibly the morgue.

My dad tells a story about an indicent in the 1980’s, I think, where a couple of gentlemen went to Governer’s Island and stole an 8ft diameter bronze screw. (Ship propeller)

I don’t think they had vests, but they most likely just drove up with a flatbed like they had every right to be there. Probably even asked for help loading it.

And there are still more of us.

Aww, keep trying, maybe open AI will pay you.

No.

Im making fun of people who defend multi-billion dollar companies online. As the person I was responding to did.

Only solution is MORE SUGAR.

On the other hand, curing slower than expected creates its own problems with regard to compressive strength and reinforcement bonding, and that is before you take into account the production delays.

Gripping hand, any competent engineer is going to see the concrete hasn’t cured correctly, and is going to demand it be removed and re-poured.

The meta incubator

A mixer truck typically holds around 6-8 yards of concrete, a yard is ~3900 pounds, which shakes out to 23,400-31,200 pounds, so definitely dont toss a 10 pound bag of sugar in the mixer truck.

In practice you don’t need that much. Its enough that some of the concrete won’t cure.

When pouring concrete it is vitally important that you do not accidentally spill a soda in the wet concrete. The sugar in the soda would ruin the concrete pour.

Same sort of thing coming to the US because of course.

I just bought an EV that was made before 2020. I’m going to learn all about rebuilding EV batteries.

Dear old Dad is in IT, and he explains that this is a lot more expensive than a nintendo switch.

Not yet but give it time. Causing the Line To Go Down will be a felony.

I’m picturing someone standing down the street, watching the camera being installed, tubing cutter or sawzall in hand…

Not this american. Ive been screaming my head off about how the machery our society runs on is all designed to run in a specific temperature range, and we are nearing the upper edge of that range now.

Most residential air conditioners can only manage a split of 30°F. That means if its 110 outside, your AC will struggle to keep the inside temp colder than 80°F. Sure, there are solutions for this. But they arent being implemented becsuse that is a problem for next quarter.

I have a different problem with my garden - nothing will grow because it won’t stop raining. Which is what climate change has changed for me locally.

Cannot recommend.

Its not about the guns.

Its about making sure you can’t replace that little plastic part that broke, requiring you to buy an entire new item.

I fixed a bread machine with an Ender-3 once. And then a machine that was destined for the trash lasted for a few more years, all the while making loaves of bread that I didn’t have to buy from the store.

I bought right after the IPO at about $150. (A whole THREE shares lol) I watched it jump to $~220 and managed to sell at $215. Now it’s just a spectator sport.
