CNC machines do the bulk manufacturing. In high end shops, gunsmiths do the final finish work. It used to be that high production firearms still had gunsmiths overseeing production. Now, in places like Remington, firearms come off the machi

People are buying bolt actions like there's no tomorrow. Just not from Remington. Tikka, for instance, has been a sleepy brand here in the US for a while, but their popularity has exploded in recent years. Remington's owners have

They are 4 stroke, but they put small mufflers on them. Electric lawnmowers make a lot of noise, too. Not as bad as the droning of a 4 stroke at full throttle, but still noisy. I long for the day we ban lawns. Do that, and lawn mowers and w

The problem with Intel is that they have been missing important deadlines by massive amounts of time. Their 10nm node was slated to arrive almost 5 years ago. It is still far from mature. TSMC is readying serial production of 5nm (equivalen

I tested positive this week. My symptoms are flash headaches and nausea along with persistent ear ringing. No other flu symptoms are present. I've never had headaches like this before, both in feeling and duration. I've been caref

I have a big pile of them in JBOD for use as storage only and they are fine. Most of mine are SMR and I wouldn't have known so until I looked them up.

It is a global effort, and not one limited to the US. Besides, the biggest improvements in ICE fuel economy and power are from Japan, not Europe. Europe hitched its wagon to the diesel engine, and we all know how that turned out. Sure, turb

That's not even remotely true. Increasing emissions standards and economy standards means that ICE development continues apace. Nissan, for instance, recently put into production a variable compression engine, and all manufacturers are

Pretty good guess. 1.91% of people who have Steam accounts have a VR headset. Up .62% with the release of the new HL game. https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey

I've had a very high number of failures to deliver in a timely manner, and several times when I wasn't delivered anything at all. Twice, I have been left food that I did not order. Mind you, my house number is plainly visible in t

The silliest one I've been to was an upscale pizza joint that sold tiny $28 pizzas because they were "artisanal". They didn't make it 6 months. I walked in, looked at the portions and the price and walked out.

That advantage only works at time of sale, and that only happens when there are people around that can buy what is being sold. Houses here were stacked ten high and ten deep for miles with foreclosure signs in front during the last recessio

Nordstrom does it well. I buy shirts and things and they arrive reasonably packaged, and include a return print out ready to go. Returning an item is as simple as putting the print out on the outside of a box and leaving it for the mail col

Do you make your mortgage or rent payments 6 months to a year in advance? If not, why do you expect landlords to do the same?

I switched to Affinity Photo a while ago. It took a little while to get used to it, but I don't miss PS at all now. Granted, I'm not a professional photog, but I've been using PS since it was released. I also have Designer, a

A well trained tank crew in a modern tank that is part of a layered defense or offense is going to be a useful tool for a very long time. Remove any one of those components, and tanks are sitting ducks.

It doesn't depend. You need a lot of cash to open one, otherwise McDonald's will not consider you.

You have to have a lot of money and a track record of success before McDonald's will consider taking you on as a franchisee. McDonald's franchisees are wealthy before they open their first restaurant.

I should think it is much easier to fix the FAA than it is to start a new aircraft company.

They will absolutely get kicked in the nuts at some point in the future. They obviously didn't learn from the ransomware incident, and look to be actively opening themselves up for another attack with this move.

I've been posting here for 8 years, and have never noticed moderation until one of the moderators points it out like the top of this thread. Further, I have been posting on /. and other forums since the 90's and have never be

They aren't going to win anything until they fix their laughably bad drivers and keep them fixed. I have several Ryzens, but there's no way I'd go anywhere near their graphics cards.
