Of course, but the OP asked what distinguishes one group of, say, Al metals in one work piece from another --> The void and xtal misalignment.

Gauge blocks stick together quite forcibly in a dirty machine shop, never mind outer space. And how often have my glassware stuck together after I stacked them up?

By the massive free volume between them. Even if you clamp the two metals together tightly, unless the surfaces are atomically smooth you'll get void spaces that are large kinetic barriers. Even if you are dealing with atomically smoo

Incredible. Two years later and Americans have forgotten the Saigon like scenes in Kabul and we're back to being invincible. We haven't won a war against a peer enemy since WW2 and lost most of the wars against non-peers since the

The nukes are the only relevance the UK has in the world. Its the UKs last remaining bit of imperial honor it has left.

MAD is stable because people aren't rational beings and game theory is therefore nuts. When I have 500 nukes headed my way, I wont stop to think "well, maybe the remaining 10% of my population can scrape by a living as dogs. Lets

Widespread use of child care is a symptom of a society in a terminal stage. It's necessary when both parents need to work (or the rate of cohabiting parents has collapsed leading to single parents, ie moms) The teacher student ratio mu

I didn't call them Divine, I said they are made in the image of the Divine. And yes, I misspelled. Despite our constitution, we can still collapse into ruin. Some of us become cruel. Some of is slothful. Sone of us keep it together. Fo

Calling a spade a spade does not mean I don't empathize with them. It can also mean Ive walked along their path. Trust me, I am acutely aware of what they are, how and why they have fallen and the despair they feel. Its a despair of

The Russians have the best offroading equipment (kamaz) in the world. Get a couple of steamrollers on the scene, flatten out a couple miles of dirt and wait until the weather cements any would be debris onto the ground.

I'll be honest, I can't figure out if you're arguing for objectivism or if you're a bleeding heart liberal justifying that a drug addict mooching off everyone is just a misunderstood existentialist philosopher. I'm

"Society has been actively shaming and demonizing men for decades now, trying to get them to accept working through what feels like an untraversable valley" But I agree with you! I empathize with these boys who have laid their

Thats why I really don't blame the "moocher", except for the damage they do to their families. Am I any better than a guy who smokes out or plays video games all day? No! We're not that different, but except I gave my pa

A guy getting playing video games or getting high off his mom's pension all day is not a valiant outlier asserting his independence. He's a mooch, parasitical to his parents and contributing nothing to the human experience. He&#x2

No, what they did is wear the same clothes a couple more days. Just because I have a fancy suit doesn't mean I wear it -> get it dirty. They also had fewer clothes because they weren't mass produced.

That really depends what you mean by "standard of living". If you mean a disposable fast fashion material wealth like Zara, sure; things have never been better. Yet every indicator of spiritual well being is in the gutter. Suicide

Try being the assembly line worker, doing boring, repetitive, potentially dangerous tasks for eight hours. At least the housewife's chores are varied and don't (typically) last all day.

Labor participation numbers are very interesting. However I think they point to a deeper malaise: There is a segment of society that has checked out. They wont form families. They wont realize themselves. They wont create bonds of love with

Not to mention that there is great potential for self growth in boring, drudging work. A Zen master has his pupils clean the lawn by picking up each leaf by hand, not by using a rake.

If you go outside your comfort zone and talk to people it isn't too hard to find people that grew up in 19th century like lives. Ive met several, including my wife. One professor I knew never took his tenure seriously. He was always ou

I never cared for attendance. If a teacher believes that parents and the the students are diligent I think the teacher should excuse the student absences. When I was a kid, my parents would have me skip school on Saturdays (we had 6 day&#x2

One option is to divide AMZ along business units. Thats the natural, easy way to do so. Itd cause least loss of value to the shareholders. I disagree. AMZ babies would still be essentially monopolistic in their markets. Nor do I think share

If they're too young to drink, smoke or buy a handgun then they're too young to vote, serve in the army or tried as an adult. The age of emancipation is full emancipation or none at all.

Terns aren't adults. Especially American teens. I hope we can agree to that They're not children either. The title is bait - to make people emotionally think 8 year old are blowing their brains out.

Id go insane with my environment pulsating at 0.016 Hz. It'd be like having a 60 second song on repeat, but visual. 60 s is short enough that I still have my short term memory of what was one rev before, but not fast enough to blur it

I understand you're sentiment, however, never mind the fact that gas station owners are barely scraping by, theft is theft. We cannot win by debating ourselves because instead of dismantling the security state (that's what iot is)
