But what made it illegal? A semiauto AK is perfectly legal, and I doubt the Waymo has camera fidelity enough to differentiate the two. (Cameras capable of looking it over and declaring a lack of serial number) Was it clearly custom made? Riders openly discussing it’s nature?
My dog loves to try to crush my balls This can still work
Without reading it, they’re attributing the concept of the industrial revolution allowing for the mass production of goods to capitalist goals. Explicitly rejecting the arguments that preindustrial humans likely worked fewer hours than we do now
Valid Most of the folks I know with shops, tractors, and land tend to have been raised in that same environment and perpetuate that lifestyle when/if they’re able to do so. So much to say that in rural Missouri at least, people tend to have more access to the knowledge and skills to butcher meat (typically wild game) than they do to machine shops and tractors with hydraulics.
If that tractor has the capacity for hydraulic implements it’s not particularly difficult to pull off. If you wanna get really lazy, I’ve watched someone skin a deer with compressed air, which I’d bet that machine shop has. It’s a bit disturbing, but damn, if it wasn’t the fastest I’ve seen someone skin one.
Does the thickness skin impact it’s ability to feel pain?
It doesn’t. Burn a slip of paper with a lighter. Now burn an orange. Notice how the the outer layer reacts to the fire?
Your nerve endings also exist in the outer most layer (your mouth vs your deeper flesh)
Are you a mammal? Congratulations, you have TRPV1 receptors in your mucus membranes (avian supremacy ftw). They exist to keep potato brain mammals from eating hot things. These will fuck up your insides. Apparently enough of a problem that mammals needed them. Fun fact: this is enough of a problem that ancestral peppers evolved a means to exploit it and exclude mammals.
But off topic. There’s no quantity of flesh that will make your mouth heat proof. Turns out first degree burns still hurt like fuck.
“Did that guy shit his pants?”
I wouldn’t assume it to be intended to sell. Part of the yeast being out of circulation for so long means it’s different from any yeasts in the world right now, by nature of not being subject to background mutation and evolving alongside us.
How well does it consume modern sugars compared to modern yeast strains? How does it handle the process of baking sourdough as we know it?
Multiple bits of useful information to be gleaned. How do it’s genotypical differences from modern strains actually impact it’s physical reality? Useful correlation to modern yeast as one maps it’s genome. If it doesn’t react the same way, can you alter the process to make something that still works? If not, did ancient bread just kinda suck? If so, did ancient people have that different process? Regardless of yes or no, then we might get a better lens through which to analyze our current understandings.
If it did have a different set of requirements for baking, one can suspect those same genetic variations may serve as levers by which evolution might impact modern strains. Given our rapidly changing climate, understanding how alterations to yeasts genome impact it is again, potentially very useful even if only as a reference.
Beyond what we can glean about it this particular strain, why not? Worst case, taste tester dies, as they feared recreated mammoth meat might trigger an allergic reaction to something humanity haven’t been exposed to recently. I doubt they did this for free with random volunteers signing wavers. I’d suspect it was a very informed research member trying it after proposing the idea.
Not sure if you know many scientists. This isn’t even top 10 on the “of course you tried that” list. Being passionate about learning new things and trying new things with what you’ve just learned is super common. Know how many Conservation and Wildlife folk I know have tried the local fauna as roadkill? Right of passage for local branch of the State Conservation team. BBQ raccoon isn’t half bad. How many in Plant Science grow illegal or poisonous flora because “just look at this cute lil guy” How many engineers I know will use home projects based on their skill set to do something wildly overkill because “I bet that’d work and I already have the laser”
It does and doesn’t. The outer layer of the durian, yeah that’s gone. Dense biomass presents a unique scenario though. Where steel is homogeneous, and conducts heat very well, cells are “hollow” and contain a lot of carbon. Water vaporizes. Proteins vaporize. Carbon burns off. Slightly deeper: water vaporizes. But there’s no oxygen here. The burning biomass outside is consuming it and dumping carbon dioxide as it goes. What happens when carbon heats without oxygen? It purifies. Down to pure carbon. 3,630C to melt it away. What’s more, it’s not solid carbon. All that water and protein is long gone, but now it’s empty space. Insulation. It’s impressive how much biomass blocks heat.
Time matters. Long enough, the outer layers start to burn away. Oxygen moves deeper, carbon burns, not melts. That layer burns off. Oxygen moves deeper. You didn’t need 3000C. But you need time and air flow. If you’re trying to see who between a mass of steel or an equal biomass gives up first, the steel will fail every time.
Having toured a few dairy plants in Missouri while job hunting a few years back, the pasteurization is doing some really heavy lifting. Very concerned about hormones in milk. But not so much about open vat homogenizers in excessively damp rooms or cleaning the road grime out of the hoses on trailer trucks bringing the milk in. Give it quick 48hr incubation on TSA and call it good. “Milk expires too fast to bother with any other testing” Wild the F in FDA is apparently the least fucks given part. “Post in notes in the room where they’re milling stainless steel down for stethoscope bodies?! Those could be uncontrolled documents!”
The simplest is just sewing a strip onto the back at two ends, making a loop for the belt. If you’ve a bigger piece of leather, you can make a wing on each side with a wide hole that the belt can go through. Or the other direction, up, then loop back down and sew or rivet to the bottom.
What do you use to get such clean edges? Even with a fresh blade, I’m still making 2 or 3 passes on thicker leather (or 1 slow halting pass as I readjust my grip) and end up with rough edges. Burnishing settles them in, but only as long as they aren’t disturbed. Which feels likely on a cosplay piece.
For manufacturing I’ve taken to using spelled out numbers when quantities and names both use numbers. Four 4s rather than 4 4s. Makes it harder for someone to speed through an email and get the completey wrong information.
TOS to prohibit a firearm. Car stops, calls the cops. Trespassing charges if it’s a legal gun? Otherwise just a GTFO because the company now refuses to serve them, as they are legally permitted to do? In this case it’s also a ghost gun, extra spooky for the cops/government, so news worthy.
