I use a MIG welder but with flux-core wire and no gas, I got it about 12 years ago for £200 (new), it is a perfectly good machine and I am not a good enough welder to get the most out of it. It's much cheaper than the laser stuff. It g

I think it goes about 6mph. I agree with your maths though, so probably my estimate of the gear ratio is wrong. I don't know how long the battery lasts, we have never driven it for long enough to flatten the battery. While I was buildi

Yes I'm using flux-core wire and I do indeed have the polarity set for flux-core. My conception was that we're adding power by increasing the voltage and we're stacking up material by adding wire, so to get good penetration o

I'd rather have a laptop made from AliExpress components than only have a single artisanal hand-crafted resistor.

But you can move a layer up. Instead of pouring all of your efforts into making one single static object with no moving parts, you can simply specify the individual parts, have the machine make them for you, and pour your heart and soul i

Cool idea but I just tried it out on one of my own repos and I couldn't get past the reCAPTCHA, maybe remove that. (I'm a human btw)

But don't you see that if you solve your problems this way, the obnoxious neighbour can also solve their problem this way? "Stop making a noise or I'll beat you up" vs "Quit complaining about the noise or I'll

Because all they have is wet wood and they want to light the fire. If you had dry wood to hand of course you'd use that in preference.

Pretty cool but it won't allow "parrot" after "budgie" because budgie is more specific? A budgie isn't a parrot! (Wikipedia says it actually is a type of parrot, but I definitely refer to different types of bir

How do you add the molecule? Well, you're not just dealing with single-digit numbers of molecules. Have an oxygen tank with a flow meter for example, open the valve to release the required volume of oxygen. The ideal gas law tells you

ChatGPT having memory of previous conversations is very confusing. Occasionally it will pop up saying "memory updated!" when you tell it some sort of fact. But hardly ever. And you can go through the memories and delete them if yo

Before we start discussing whether it's "real" can we all agree on what it "is"? I doubt it.

I think you may have slightly misunderstood the article. "Preparation" isn't mentioned explicitly, but by my reading it would come firmly under "is not doing the thing".

But if the initial commit contains the finished project then that suggests that either it was developed without version control, or that the history has deliberately been hidden.

So your beef is with domestic violence, not with gambling. In a counterfactual where someone was doing some gambling and not doing some domestic violence, would you be still upset about the gambling in and of itself? Who does it harm?

Those are all good examples of things that you could in principle do without harming other people, so I don't see your point. Yes, you should be allowed to do those things as long as you do it without harming others.

Gambling isn't harmful to society. A gambling bet is a private bet between two people. If some people who like gambling are harmful to society in other areas of their life, that's on them.
