Last I checked (circa 2017), bioplastics like PLA had poor heat resistance. This made them unsuitable for certain applications like bushings or gasket seals. IIRC "heat resistant" varieties of PLA are rated up to 120 Celsius, whic

Any news articles or third-party reports to confirm that figure of 250M strikers? The only sources I've found on it so far are far-left political websites. I hesitate to trust e.g. Fox News when reporting on the size of Trump's in

The effect of an EMP on a hardened i.e. Faraday cage-shielded target is quite limited. Even modern automobiles are only momentarily disrupted, if at all, by significant pulses produced in a controlled test setting. As I understand it, commo

A new term I've seen used is "black & indigenous people of color" (BIPOC), which conspicuously leaves out Asians and is fuzzy on Hispanics.

Does Lenovo still sell laptops with malware in the firmware? Not a "gotcha" question, I am seriously asking. Considering a Thinkpad for my next laptop, but memories of Superfish give me pause. https://www.theregister.co

I’ve had terrible reactions to statins. The best way to describe it was that it felt, mentally, like my consciousness was fading and that I was dying. Closest sensations I’ve experienced to it would be fainting or moments of low blood press

In my personal experience, the U.S. military - Army in particular - firmly drills “loyalty to the Constitution, not the President” into every soldier. The top U.S. general gave a speech to that effect earlier this week. You can draw your ow

There’s a lot to unpack in your post, but I’d just like to focus on “car attacks” here. You mention a “car attack” in Seattle. In actual fact, the incident I assume you mean was by all outward indicators a tragic accident, not a planned att

You are probably referring to a separate shooting death in CHOP, that of Lorenzo Anderson. I am referring to the murder of Antonio Mays Jr. by antifa security. This murder was filmed from multiple angles and recordings are widely available.

The armed occupation of the Malheur Wildlife Refuge was also “mostly peaceful.” Much more peaceful than CHAZ/CHOP, in fact. I am friends with people who lived close by and visited the CHAZ/CHOP, and I watched live-streams from the

This is the reason I needed to switch to a Linux laptop. I cannot be beholden to Apple’s - or anyone’s - servers when it comes to running applications on my own machine. Any recommendations? I’ve heard good things about System76.

You can resell the device (at a loss), but you will never recover the money spent on games and apps in the Oculus Store. In my case, hundreds of dollars spent in the years since the launch of the Rift CV1.
