SMT machines and 3d printers are simpler, mature technologies that can kind of get close to that if you ignore a bunch of external costs and squint.

How do you even get to 5 dollars an hour? $40k machine running for 10 years 24/7 with less than 40k dollars intervention and maintenance over that entire time? 5000 dollars of electricity are used, assuming the unit is 500W over the 10 years.

This type of talk is just what a lot of long term relationship talk is. Showing you value someone when they aren't feeling valued at work is just normal and good.

These people want to invent the torment nexus, except it's just the remote from the movie click.

I think post apocalypse fiction underestimates how easy it would be to make those things or stand systems back up. We rely on our current system to make things cheap. Lots of people know how to make things themselves, and in absence of supply chains they could.

Why would stable prices drive sales? If they were going up it could be an investment. If they were going down it could be an affordable home. Stable seems the least appealing.

Completely deserved. I would recommend you still take some rest.

He was already in involuntary treatment, so that would have done nothing in this case.

If he was on extended leave, then he was already in involuntary treatment. There's no such thing as extended leave for volluntary treatment in BC.

Corporate leaders are obsessing over GDP per capita.

But, if you look at just about any number that would meaningfully tell you how well our economy is doing, Canada does better than the U.S.

I am not either culture, but my impression is that songs are very sacred in both traditions compared to many other traditions. Sorry if this betrays my ignorance.

I feel like if there was actually hidden intention, they would have made some effort. One evening, I tried to calculate the percentage of the Canadian gdp that was scams, and in doing that, I put in more effort than these tarrif calculations.

There's such a variety of easy solutions to this problem that I have to assume they enjoy some aspect of it.

It even reads like you think the opposite of what is being claimed you mean when they took it out of context. Exhausting.

Elijah wood is into this kind of stuff.

His Fandom of adventure games led him to work with double fine on a couple games.

He is also a card in the board game dream crush.

I don't know why I read that. I am definitely not any more informed than when I read the headline.

Do we even know that the playboy counterexample is less exploitative? No information is given. Hamm does not appear to have curiosity.

Theatrical release was on Christmas day. It is clearly about the Christmas story despite having none of the features normally associated with a Christmas movies. Would a movie about just the bible jesus' birth story even count as a Christmas movie? If yes then yes to children of men.

Asleep at the Wheel in the Headlight Brightness Wars The crusade against bright headlights has picked up speed in recent years, in large part due to a couple of Reddit nerds. Could they know what’s best for the auto industry better than the auto industr...

In one of the strangest chapters of my life, I spent several months in the trenches of Big Headlight, looking to understand just how and why headlights became brighter than the sun. Answers, graphs, penis sketchesβ€”it's all here, on the brand new Ringer site:

Really good job with this article. I have worked as an LED lighting designer in a different industry. Normally, I brace myself for a ton of technical misunderstandings, but my quibbles were so minor. I can't vouch for the accuracy of auto specific claims, though.

I've worked as an LED lighting designer (but not in automotive). Whenever I read an article close to my area of expertise, I brace for the worst. With a couple of minor quibbles, this article seems really good.

I feel like he could job shadow a product design engineer for a week and figure out what is wrong with this theory.
