Well, it would be, if the chairs actually didn’t move from one place to another.

Well, maybe. But it was already being built for a good half-century at that time.

That warning… All recipes should have an expiration date similar to the food they create. I can support that cause.

it should be safe, right?

Are you phishing for an Anakin / Padme meme?

it looks pretty strong and flexible

Compared to steel? I would recommend you check your eyesight.

It’s also labor intensive, and has plenty of durability problems. Also, worst of all, there is a huge amount of problems that can weaken it but are completely invisible once you finish your walls. Problems that happen often, because of that labor intensity.

They had to build it every time they wanted a new install, all the packages were paid for, and worse of all, they only got borderline support.

Yes, it’s a solved problem. Just don’t put clocks on ever damning single appliance.

why is there still so little variety

Every appliance is built by the same local company that buys all the components (including firmware) from the same Chinese company.

If you are talking about the shape (wider on the top than on the bottom), it’s not really a problem.

If you are talking about any other thing, you are probably right.

The new safety features all break down under stress and make the tool as safe as the 1996 piece as soon as you put them in a dangerous environment.

Also, both the new and the 1996 pieces have hidden explosives that were placed there by the new tooling used to build them. Nobody you tell you where they are, you should know that already. Don’t hit them.

what’s the structure of the house made out of?

Reinforced concrete. It’s cheap to create, the materials are quite cheap, it’s very strong, and you can make it have any shape.

I never understood why the US makes strctural bits out of wood. I can understand using it on the walls, but it’s completely unfit for the structure.

I’d bet most people here claiming their houses are made of bricks have a reinforced concrete structure hidden inside brick molds on the corners.

In almost the entire world.

Wood houses exist, they are just rare.

Yes, those things are really hard to park.

And screaming IEEE because you are happy the standard is well built.

There are several possible values for cloud covering extent. Forecasts usually have either 4 or 8 of them.

(And yeah, thinking about it, 8 different values is pure madness.)

Who would build machinery that way?! Think of all the ethics academics jobs it would destroy!

You mean 3 months? 6 months ago you’d see the same section, from the other side.

Anyway, the Sun rotates too, so it’s not that simple (you can see the sunspots moving). But yeah, right idea.

Hum… The article says it: avoid every one.

Or not, because there is still not enough evidence to conclude it’s a problem. It’s just “very likely”, not "known’.

Their backs point up when they fly, not backwards.

The void is shy. Don’t make it uncomfortable.

Oh, you will notice the call of the void, don’t worry about that.
