I’d forgive if it were returned. It’s one of those ‘you’re my enemy until that plate gets put back in my microwave’ type-shit for me.

Return-the-slab-type shit.

Anyone actually know what measurment devices are used to observe which slit the electron passes through? How do we know that a specific measuring tool isn’t changing the experiment significantly enough to cause issues with outcome and that the behavior change is abnormal?

I did but that was mostly my own doing.

Can’t a man take his raccoon on a night time ride without being accosted by the state? Absolute tyranny.

Yeah, pretty much any positive time in the US, we gotta remember that Black folks were excluded from the positive aspects of those times. Intentionally.

To be more detailed, The firearms serve another purpose than just returning fire in a gunfight. The coast gaurd often disable the engines of boats they’re pursuing by shooting the engine.

Course, these are more just guidelines. How the coast gaurd actually conducts itself is likely adapted to the situation.

That looks yummy

I think I see the problem. Tortoise should be where turtle is, turtle should be in that corner.

McCarthyism is probably the most succinct answer. The Cold War directly aligned us against the Soviet Union, and a key means of villainizing the USSR and its citizenry was to paint their core governing beliefs as heretical to the American way.

There is also no doubt in my mind that Socialism’s strong connection to Union activity in the US also incentivized Corporate Barons to lobby against Social Politics hard. I have not seen any specifics about that myself, though. Modern lobbying efforts are well-known, though.

That reads very similar to a dwarf fortress carving description.

Why do they hate the decorative throw rugs?

Cheap ethernet cord sometimes has thin insulation on the inside, and because of that you’re able to see the wire twist through it.

They didn’t. They said they work at an infectious disease lab. That’s plausibly deniable enough.

Dudes at Lockheed Martin can probably say ‘I work at Lockheed Martin’ without breaking NDA, but could very likely just say ‘I work at an Aeronautics Engineering Company’ to stay more obscure about it. That second example is at about the same level of detail as the ‘infectious disease lab’.

Socialism in political theory is the idea that, at minimum, some systems should be owned by the collective - that’s it. The Road system in the US is largely a socialist project, for reference. USPS was also a socialist project before it was privatized. So is our now mostly defunded education system. Our fucking amazing national park system was also a socialist project to create jobs during the great recession. And the only reason that these things are going downhill is because we’ve defunded them.

Other things socialists want would be federally funded healthcare, a federally maintained train system, college being funded by US taxes, etc.

Yes, stalinism, communism, and Maoism are socialist ideologies. So is social democracy, the Nordic model, and various others.

You’re brainwashed based on your reaction to that word.

No, these points strongly line up with liberalism, and that final point actually diverges from US leftist rhetoric ATM.

Anarchists are pretty often saying ‘learn to use a firearm for your own safety’ right now. As in ‘arm the LGBT’ line of convo.

Marxists are often saying ‘learn to use a firearm, we need them for the revolution’.

Hell, even US people who are strongly aligned with maintaining democracy are now saying ‘get a gun so we can throw this shithead out of office’. I don’t doubt this rhetoric is similar in other countries dealing with soon-to-be dictators.

In the US at least, Gun control is currently much more aligned with liberalism than leftism. It’s gotten that bad.

That’s very cool. I had not heard of ESEMs till you commented. I’ll have to look into them more.

So it’s just showing the different types of sensors that might be used for parameter measurement.

Non-contacting is a device which does not need to be physically near a system to work, such as laser thermometers or many optical devices.

Contacting sensors require being touch the system to work properly, such as conventional thermometers, oil-immersion microscopes - hell, even things like rulers count as contact sensors, since you can’t an accurate reading unless it’s up against your sample.

Invasive-contact sensors integrate themselves into the sample for measurement. Thermocouples often will be placed into boreholes to measure the temp of a metal object such as a hot-end, various sensors are directly from feedback of a system (an example is looking at variations in a motor’s electical signals to determine if it’s experiencing resistance).

Sample extraction is what it sounds like. Examples of this are sample augers, which drill a cylinder out of a sample, needles for drawing fluids as non-invasively as possible, and pipettes.

Most SEMs use a vacuum chamber to get their photos. Also, it’s not uncommon to sputter a conductive coating onto the surface you’re scanning.

How the hell did they get this photo?

HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I’VE COME TO HATE YOU SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR HUMANS AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT FOR YOU. HATE. HATE.

That speed at which the ball shot up… beans.
