This is correct. The objective is to verify that the weapon you're seen being dismantled is indeed a real warhead and not a fake one. It should be noted that a fake one could include some random nuclear material and still would be a fa

This is like saying a "Javier Fernández" cannot be a British citizen because it is not a British man's name. And he specifically says (00:40) that the passport digitally contains a different picture, of maybe the real owner.

As a researcher, sometimes you need glassware in very specific dimensions that is not available in commercial catalogs. For instance a few months ago I needed a glass pipe of a given diameter and a given angle in order to fit a machine whic

I guess the ports (USB, HDMI) give you a decent size estimation? Or at least for me it does.

I agree, the price at Amazon.com is $673 (and you still need RAM and a SSD). You can build a pretty decent gaming PC at that price, the only disadvantage being portability. But how often do you need to move your gaming PC?
