I got a set of ten puzzles. There’s three different sizes/piece counts. Each size uses a singular die. I ended up doing one puzzle on top of another and every piece was the same. Buying a set seems like a good way to get multiple prints cut from the same die if you want to intentionally do something like this.

If tv shows have taught me anything, with the right mob connection you can get an exemption to that rule.

Im actually kind of surprised that dyson didn’t bravely pioneer drm’d filters.

Some of the online ordering services are sneaky and bake their fee into the prices of the items you order, so it’s not even clear that you pay extra. My despise of that practice motivates me to call in my orders.

🤢 That sounds amazingly nauseating.

Oh so like how you stock up on gas when there’s a shortage.

Is this peanut butter in little jars, big jars, bags, or just shoveled in like one giant trunk tub of creamy peanut butter?

Why not? The ps5 is good at pretending to do 4k, but is very much on the anemic side of graphics power for 4k gaming. Why wouldn’t people want a performance bump if it’s available and they can afford to upgrade?

I don’t get why the streaming services would care what media people watch. Are they pushing stuff that is cheaper to license?

That’s been a recurring theme in US based semiconductor for decades. I have two friends who were highly skilled in semiconductor equipment servicing and both have left the industry due to terrible management/pay.

You’ll have to take that up with the origami council. I don’t actually do any paper crafts.

My best guess is that I misremembered Kirigami as origami since Kirigami was not in my vocabulary.

Oh for sure. I do my best to avoid Amazon because most listings are full of made up lies. I know marketing is full of half truths and exaggerations, but I despise shopping at places that try so hard to deceive me.

I just brought up Amazon since Amazon and monoprice are the most common options I see mentioned when people ask for alternatives to the overpriced options at best buy or whatever.

Industrial suppliers can be more expensive, but the time and aggravation saved by shopping by specifications you can trust is frequently worth a modest price premium. I’ve switched to Digikey and McMaster for a number of personal purchases after realizing how much of a mental toll deceptive marketplaces carry.

I got a somewhat fancy pair of origami scissors form a little Japanese market near me. The wrapping paper glide is amazing. I’ve never had so many near perfect edges before this pair of scissors.

This was pretty close to being true for 1080p and lower resolutions. If you get a 4k 120hz HDR display then bandwidth and signal integrity start becoming very important. The article you linked is rather old and really only considers media up to 4k 30fps. Cable quality especially matters at lengths above 4 ft for uhd and higher.

There’s a lot of snake oil so you can’t just trust marketing claims. I’ve had terrible luck with cables that claim to support high resolutions from amazon and even monoprice. I’ve resorted to buying cables from actual electronics suppliers like digikey since their speed ratings should be accurate.

Then you find out that while the new place doesn’t have the problems the old place had, it has a whole new set of problems.

Sometimes the devil you know is better than the devil you don’t.

And to blowing up children for being born to the wrong group of people.

The fuel itself won’t stay radioactive as you point out. There is however neutron radiation produced while the reactor is running. This necessitates shielding for components and personnel.

Additionally there’s a phenomenon called neutron activation, where a non-radioactive substance absorbs neutrons and becomes a slighter heavier isotope that is radioactive. For something like a research vessel with relatively little operation time and low fluxes, this isn’t a major concern. For power generating reactors with high flux over long periods of time, this will make some reactor components radioactive. That means servicing and decommissioning fusion reactors will still require protocols to monitor and control contamination.

Since there’s no risk of meltdown, none of this poses a risk to the general public. So fusion is indeed much safer than fission, but you can’t just say there’s 100% no radiation. That is erroneous.

An x-ray machine doesn’t stay radioactive when not in use, but it still produces ionizing radiation when it’s on. Fusion power is similar. The radiation produced mostly goes away instantly, but is definitely present during operation.

Deuterium tritium fusion releases helium-4 and a fast neutron. So most fusion schemes will involve producing radiation. However, the fuel can’t keep reacting without carefully controlled conditions so there is no meltdown risk or runaway reaction scenario. Vessel components may be activated by neutron bombardment and will still require careful handling when servicing the reactor.

There are aneutronic fusion reactions, but they require higher energies and face problems with sourcing the fuel. For example helion energy plans to use Helium-3 with deuterium. Although even their fuel cycle won’t be completely aneutronic.

Fusion is far safer than fission, but let’s not spread misinformation.
