Only last year? I’ve been avoiding them for a long time. You can almost always find a “thing.com” store that sells just the thing I need and the blurb is written by someone independent who knows the subject and can tell me why or why not it is worth spending money on the more expensive version.
See a qualified forester for the specific area. There are many different forests and they have different needs so no universal statement can be made.
Most of the forests in north America need regular fires and have been harmed by centuries of white men putting them out. However that means centuries of overgrowth and so starting one now is a too hot fire that isn’t helpful either. The great plains need to burn yearly as well.
A proper fire should leave lots of charcoal behind that gets beat into the soil and naturally permanently sequesters tons of carbon. So this is a factor in global warming.
The problem is a few people have money for lawyers and anytime an expert proposes a fire they get a judge to issue an injunction and stop it until it is too late to safely burn. I’m not sure what to do about this but it is something to oppose.
Here is a question you need to figure out: Switch is in the on position, and you use the remote to turn the light off, what happens when the switch is moved to off?
According to my wife the only satisfactory answer to this question is when the remote turns the light off the switch moves to off and so you cannot turn it off in this case! (she wants the same behavior from the old 3-way light switches that have been around for decades)
What would you think about learning Pascal, or Ada instead of C? They are also low enough to be useful to explain everything, but have more guard rails. (and without being the latest fad that Rust is)
As my doctor said when she said I should get the vaccine: If this study is true, it’s great it great, but even if this study turns out to be false, it doesn’t matter because I should get the vaccine anyway.
Which is why I’m careful. That is why I always reject the “no payments or interest for 6 months” offers stores sometimes have - I “know” they won’t remind me to pay it off in 6 months and then I’m paying more.
A nail is common enough that I refuse that objection.
Barrels are 3d printed. They are single use because the heat and pressure will destroy them, but they work. They also can’t get good rifling patterns so not accurate. This is why a 3D printed gun is always going to be a novelty that is useless, but it is enough to work.
People have 3d printed guns and fired them. They work. Not well, and last I heard they are one shot because plastic can take the heat. Still they do exist.
I’m suspecting the women most concerned about their girls being sluts had multiple partners (possibly protected by rhythm or the pill only) before they were married. But they think they can raise their girls better than they were.
Basic hand tools can make a ak47. Skill is needed there though.
I’m not quite understanding your question.
3d printers have made guns. They are always bad guns because plastic isn’t great for the purpose. They work and prove the point enough to scare people who know nothing about guns and thus don’t realize why other methods are better and faster.
CNC lathes are very common these days.
Not that you are wrong, but that isn’t hard to teach somebody. Sure they will get a few failed parts, and likely break a few cutters. However all the instructions you need are there, there are plenty of how to machine parts videos on youtube (as always of various quality levels).
Not only can you cast bullets, many do cast their own. You can apply much better quality control in our small batch runs at home than a factory will, which will make for more accuracy. A factory could be better, but most people buying factory runs care about cheap and so they won’t be as consistent - most than good enough for hunting or war use (even snipers), but if you are trying to win sharp shooting competitions you need that little extra.
I wouldn’t be against my toilet monitoring my movements. But the data collected needs to be shared with my doctor only - since she could potentially do something useful with it.
No, I’m saying that the ships would like it. Also having used geosynchronous satellite internet I have first hand experience that the lag sucks. Better than nothing, but Starlink has less lag. Probably faster but I don’t know what the latest speeds are. Still geosynchronous covers a lot of area which means you are sharing with a lot of people.
Cruise ships pay a lot for internet because their customers want it. Crew on all ships want it for their breaks.
Starlink isn’t worth it for just the above, but add in rural people on land and it makes sense. Though I understand the astronomers hate it.
I also remember it was cautioned early on that they had limited bandwidth and so focused on rural areas and a backup for cell phones. For rural areas this is better than having to run fiber (rural areas typically didn’t have cable, though they were running fiber close enough to get DSL - better than nothing but very slow)
Fiber without cell towers are pointless. Ships and boats commonly have starlink internet now, because it is so much better than any alternative. Cell towers are needed for fiber to compete.
The pacific has some deep trenches, I don’t think fiber runs across them.
Don’t trust it until lawyers have had months to examine the exact wording. Loopholes are to easy to hide. Often a other wise good bill will have something awful in it such that you must oppose the whole
