They better not store my credit card numbers in a database somewhere.
I mean, collecting only nazi stuff is weird. But I'm into history and if I had a bunch of other older military things I wouldn't think it was weird to have an old nazi badge or something. Not to praise it or anything but it's a real part of history.
Good thing I don't give my personal data to a fast food restaurant.

9mm, safety, always off.
It is in the us. Imperial gallons are bigger than us gallons for some reason.
Too bad. I was hoping he would. I guess he's got the soft hands.
Hi I'm a machinist and fabricator that likes hunting and lives in the south. Trucks are terrible. You should need proof that you need one to own one.
I'm an engineer but I work in imperial. Most machines run inches so I design in inches.
Lmao I'm sorry. It's a breaking bad reference.
Quartz is a mineral. Jesus Marie!
I am guessing the reason it's done has something to do with mining and trying to solve material density problems.
This is definitely part of it. Oil companies have labs that run samples all day every day to study the density and porosity of rocks to see how much oil or gas they could hold when they're trying to find new areas to drill.
Most of what I'm familiar with is research labs at universities where they are studying it to simulate tiny earthquakes. It's just pure research to learn more about how the earth functions as a system. All rocks are different and all situations are different so the more data you collect the more you can understand exactly what happened during an earthquake and why. Maybe it can lead to better earthquake prediction or it can let us use those earthquakes to know more about the structure of the earth.
Sort of. I work closely with geophysics in the rock mechanics world. I don't personally know if any machines that create folds at large scale due to the heat and pressure required but rock deformation is a big thing they do. I've built a few machines that do this.
Small scale experiments at the temperatures and pressures required are done using diamond anvils at extreme pressure and sometimes with laser heating.
Larger scale is done with giant hydraulic presses called triaxes that use confining pressures up to the Gigapascal level.
It could be as simple as a bad sag sensor so it didn't sense any load on the gear to prevent retraction. Not really a big story. Failures happen in every system. It's only an issue if it happens to more units.
Used to be a Ford person until the sweet hands of Toyota/Lexus grabbed me. I like cars that last more than 200k miles and don't have parts falling off at 50k.
