Renewed conflict in Northern Ireland, breaking the Good Friday agreement, leading to open war between the EU and the UK, with Scotland seceding during the chaos and joining the EU. Or, renewed conflict in Northern Ireland and huge tensions

Or the other way: just buy it outright. Either buy from the supplier companies, or buy existing stuff used and reverse-engineer it.

If China did a nuclear attack, the US Army wouldn't be involved at all in any war. They'd sit back while the US Air Force and Navy completely nuked China. There wouldn't be an invasion because there'd be nothing left t

Absolutely, yes. It would be an example to anyone else thinking of rebelling.

The 2nd amendment made sense when the enemy was a group of people across the ocean (the British), and other groups of people from across the ocean that they hired as mercenaries (the Hessians). Keeping the common people armed to be used as

It's not insane, but it would be a horrible and bloody hot war, the likes of which we haven't seen since WWII, and it would probably eclipse WWII in total deaths. But it's not "insane", because we have precedent for

No, but perhaps it is coming from the same organization that thought MCAS was a great idea. After all, such an organization obviously has severe deficiencies with basic systems engineering; what other deficiencies might it have?

Yes, but that doesn't mean they'll actually fit in a standard residential kitchen space. In the US, kitchens normally have a very standardized space for the stove/oven. It's a particular width (I don't know it offh

Are you saying Sweden and Austria are even cheaper? If so, that's great and all, but honestly, from an American perspective, EUR15 per month for 3GB of data is a very, very good deal. That's so cheap that I'm not sure I&#x27

I'm not so sure about this. For John Deere tractors, definitely; there's lots of articles about this. For foreign brands, it may not be the case at all.

Depends on the BGA; the extremely high-density ones generally require special tools. They're also nearly impossible to inspect without special camera equipment. The really low-density ones (like DFN) are pretty easy for a hobbyist th

Not really, no. It's really nit-picking, but a "via" is a (usually small) plated-through hole that is used solely for connecting traces on different layers of the board. I'm pretty sure the term isn't normally use

Thru-hole components are horrible, and I'm glad they've mostly gone the way of the dinosaur. Not only are they huge, they're harder to replace and frequently result in damage to the PCB. It's not too bad for resistors

Which ones? Oral-B/Braun toothbrushes make the battery removable on the bottom for proper disposal (it's not really replaceable though, though that can probably be done, but it's not the intent of the design).

It sounds like someone needs to make a business getting broken appliances from rich western nations, then shipping them to underdeveloped nations where they can be repaired cheaply, then resold locally.

For car parts, where are you getting your prices? Here in the US, there's usually online sellers of OEM parts that sell for much less than dealerships. Of course, even these can be pretty high, depending on the part in question. A lo

That might not be feasible. For instance, if you want a commercial oven, that probably doesn't even fit into a normal residential kitchen.

When was the last time an appliance manufacturer went bankrupt? I can't think of any. There are some that aren't around any more, but it's because they were purchased by or merged with competitors (hence, in America, Whirlp

How does the US prevent the sale of dual-SIM phones? Most likely, it doesn't, they just don't sell them here because no one would buy them. I'm pretty sure you can get one off eBay and use it if you want. There's a lot

Where are you getting your clothes? I have some pretty cheap shirts and I've never had one "break in the most awkward time". They just start developing holes, especially on the collar.
