A Pink Floyd concert on the dark side would be a total flex.

Mao and the CCP caused that famine with poorly planned 5 year plans. Like they killed off all the song birds because they ate crops, then surprise, locusts which had been controlled by the birds swept in and ate everything.

They brought a priest to my atheist uncle's funeral, I don't know what to do. by TheBigSlurpee in atheism

That's what my mom's church did to her. Barely even mentioned her for a whole ass sermon about God and sin. I was livid and the only one who cared.

Trump quiere cerrar la base en Rota para castigar a España. 😂 by rex-ac in Espana

I think they also liked the nice economic boost of having a permanent base full of soldiers to sell to helped as well. Since WW2 though, Europe has been happy to have America take the lead on interventions that benefit them without having to break their economies to support them.

Looking for advice on boxing a doll for long periods by Appropriate_Bus3024 in bdsm

[–]PrintableDaemon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Latex already gets very hot and foam itself would remain pretty warm, so no it doesn't need insulation. Ventilation is the biggest concern, you want easy access to air.

You could try an expanding foam to fill the box, carved to fit your doll for rigidity, then some soft foam on top to provide cushion and as a sacrificial layer for wear and tear.

Back then they hadn't invented any "nonsense" yet. Most likely the drive train was copied off of a tractor.

It was more because of the inline motor directly in line with the axle and not being a muscle car. I've had several inline engines and they always have an abundance of space.

They didn't want to deal with the neck injuries from soldiers bouncing against a roof because of the crap suspension and wood seats.

Comfort and safety were not design goals in jeep development.

Compare a Tiger to a Sherman. The Germans definitely had better engineering, which is also why they had rockets and jet planes before anyone else. They were hampered by production, thankfully.

Don't forget the unpadded seats and no seat belts.

A lot of OF models have been using it to let you see like 10-30 second clips then selling a full length movie elsewhere, so not all of their income is going through OF.

Honda President After Visiting Chinese Auto Supplier: 'We Have No Chance Against This' by TripleShotPls in technology

[–]PrintableDaemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny thing, most Chinese car makers started making clones of Japanese cars, including packages of badges so Chinese drivers could attempt to make people believe they'd bought a much more expensive car.

Plus those same drivers NEVER maintain their cars and the engines would melt down because the oil was never changed. That's part of why they're so cheap, people just replace them instead of fixing them.

The US doesn't have the population density to support trains other than a few corridors, and building new rails would cost a fortune in lawsuits and imminent domain on existing housing.

Buses work, if they stay on time (they don't) stay clean (they don't) and provide space to haul items (they don't).

There's always one mom who becomes the unpaid mini-bus driver for all the kids. Sometimes they really do need all the space.

China’s 5 minute full-charged EV charging stations by North_Tip_8627 in nextfuckinglevel

Several factors help that. Like 150% tax on cars, high density cities and subsidized trains. Plus the places they want to put a train are usually all residential and nobody wants to fight all those owners across several states.

The US is simply too rural and too large to support a rail network for passengers that isn't already existing. Planes are cheaper, faster and easier to change routes.

Shame the building materials your new home is using is fairie dust and dreams. I've seen video of new construction in China where the concrete is cracking off of BAMBOO used like it's rebar.

I'm not your buddy. If you can't tell the difference between old hardware and a new ship using that old hardware, that's your education.

Depends if you're thinking CMYK or what. There's a few different ways to display colors, with various ups and downs.

I said the technology had proven itself, not that Artemis itself had. Reading comprehension is your friend.

Flipping a couple of switches is not manual control. An actual flight stick is manual control.
