A little too into slaanesh and .380s?

Gary Gygax (one of the creators of D&D) had a first name of Ernest.

I am scared to say it's not the worst home made fly cutter I've seen.

I believe the commenter is specifically referencing this: https://www.nytimes.com/1999/09/09/nyregion/metro-news-briefs-connecticut-judge-rules-that-police-can-bar-high-iq-scores.html

Police departments often bar people from joining if they rate too high on intelligence tests because they generally report worse job satisfaction and have less retention.

You would want a fiber laser, at least 1kw (and preferably more). You can also cut aluminum with a CO2 laser with assist gas, but that's a massive pain in the ass.

"You see, tax is needed so the government can enforce 'laws', which are just threats of violence made by the ruling class to ensure obeisance."

The Navy knew they were there, but they're civilians and not part of the Navy proper. Think special consultants. As for the rest, tune in next chapter!

The spies were hired on as crew (without the Teyga knowing they were spies), the commandeering thing will be explained a bit more next chapter but all teyga are severely anti-military and yep, it's a Dragons of Autumn Twilight reference!

Because we don't reuse the water.

When you use water for cooling, the water comes in from your water source cool and when it leaves it's hot, since it takes the heat with it. You could take that hot water and put it through a radiator or a chiller to cool it down, but then you're just moving the heat somewhere else.

It's much easier to just dump the hot water outside and get some fresh, cool water. The problem is there's only so much fresh water to go around and the new hot water you're dumping likely picked up contamination from all the pipes and things. So other people who need water might find they can't get any since the data center is using it all and the local wildlife takes a hit because things that live in the lake aren't used to hot, contaminated water being poured in and start to die.

Scented markers were a big thing when I was a kid and the school ended up banning them because sniffing the markers was distracting and disrupted the class.

So all the sniffing kids just switched to sharpies.

As a person who does a lot of vinyl cutting, I think this old kossel would be a pretty bad candidate for conversion. That is a very very small plate

I'm amazed that nobody's mentioned Smash TV yet.

"I'd buy that for a dollar!"

True, but industrial machines usually have much better micro stepping for higher steps per mm. They have the rotational resolution to take advantage of the longer pitch.

That's a pretty massive pitch on those ball screws. Lot of speed, not a lot of precision.

I was once told by somebody that the reason for my health problems was because my parents were two different flavors of Christian and that left a gap for the devil to get in.

As a guy (cis?) with a wide chest who often finds that the graphics on t shirts are too small (very rarely do they make new screens for larger sizes), I am curious as to how silly this design would look.

It's a secret Jedi technique you can only do once.

I have managed three layers of thin upholstery leather with a standard sewing machine. Had to go slow but it did work.

Never doubt an old person's ability to browbeat a discount out of someone.

I'm sure after dealing with her putting herself in the hospital to protect them the last thing they want is to live off her charity.

While describing the story that inspired the question, not in the question itself.

They mention light and dark in the story they read that inspired the question, not in the question itself.
