Pulley mechanism for more force

Invention question: would anyone here be willing to wear a ~perhaps frightening~ helmet that just does all the head hygiene stuff automatically?

If it’s not helpful to the operation of the vehicle, then you can just wrap it in a Faraday cage. Oops no signal.

The author doesn’t get to pick who can print his book? Or do you mean he has no real choice because he’s got bills to pay?

It might’ve been more clear if you just said “I don’t think they were dumb. Therefore…”

Evolution determined by mating is basically over for humans. In the time it takes a species to meaningfully change, humans will be genetically engineered.

Historically we’ve tolerated MUCH higher rates of infant and child mortality than we do today. People will keep having kids even if most of them will die.

you have zero power to affect change

So they succeeded at what they were trying to do, but it was of negligible benefit.

Then stop complaining about third parties forevermore. If you honestly believed that was our last election, then focus on direct action.

Did any Trump voters actually say “genocide”? The ones I’ve met call it “the war”.

That was my first presidential election. Naive year 2000 me thought “Oh wow this is a huge obvious problem, and Australia already fixed it! It’ll be a part of the Democratic platform by 2004.”

To this day, I vote for any Democrat who supports ranked choice voting (or any clone-independent voting system).

Because they’re not here arguing with us.

I’ve met a TON of blacksmiths and they usually just look like normal guys but slightly more buff, often overweight. The machinery does most of the work.

I’ve forged everything from aluminum to Waspaloy, from handheld to car-sized.

Unfortunately, I used an industrial press and lots of math. Not sexy. What respondents really mean is hipsters with an anvil. Then you’re wearing an apron with no shirt, sweating, and smashing something hard and repeatedly.

See, they shouldn’t have gone with the First Order. They should’ve had the New Republic stamp out the Empire, only to create a new empire itself.

Specifically near the end of WW1, like 1918 or so, that should get them.

It wasn’t even “do what I say or I’ll kill you”. It was “this land is mine” - the establishment of private property. The lords never needed to explicitly make a death threat themselves when nature could make the death threat for them, and the victim is deprived of access to vital resources.
