Yes, it’s actually huge. Especially for maintaining a weapon as complicated as an Abrams tank. If it can be repaired close to the front lines then that has the potential to cut days off the turnaround time compared to towing it over to Poland.

Yeah. All of the best-textured vegan foods that I’ve had are not imitation meat. Stuff like crunchy starch-based food, breads, waffle cones, chewy noodles, dumplings, pizza, shahi kofta, etc!
Umami is a solved problem though. Miso, soy sauce, shiitake mushrooms, kombu seaweed. All excellent vegan sources of umami.
The hardest part of making vegan meat substitutes is texture. How do you replicate the texture of steaks, ribs, brisket? These are very complex with muscle fibres, intramuscular fat, bones, connective tissues. Not easy!
Yeah, I think it’s a pretty strong argument that plant-based and lab-grown meat companies are making a mistake trying to beat the cheapest, lowest grade meat products such as chicken nuggets. You’ve got a hell of an uphill battle to engineer these things to be both cheaper and tastier than the meat ones.
The issue is that wealthy people (those most likely to be vegan) don’t buy these crappy products in the first place.
If instead they tried to beat high end products such as steaks or rare fish they’d have a much bigger margin for profit, after taking into account all the expensive R&D.
It makes me so depressed thinking about how many thousands of Ukrainian lives could’ve been saved by just giving Ukraine full and enthusiastic support immediately instead of dragging it out this long.
Well hopefully they’re not putting melamine in the milk powder!
That’s just ridiculous to me. Why? I have had fries plenty of times which were way better than McDonald fries and all they were made of was potatoes, oil, and salt. The perfect French fry doesn’t need anything other than that. It’s all about choosing the right potato variety and then it all comes down to cooking technique.
The fact that McDonald puts anything else in their fries just makes me shake my head.
I care less about realism than I do about having interesting decisions to make. I think it’s a really big challenge for game designers to make it fun and interesting for players — even highly skilled ones who love to strategize — without the game bogging down by having too many dice rolls/decisions to make.
All dinosaurs are reptiles, including birds. The major clade of dinosaurs to which birds belong is called theropods. The other well-known dinosaurs, sauropods (including all the huge quadrupedal herbivores), are totally extinct and have only very distant ancestry with birds and other reptiles.
By the way, crocodilians have been around for 250 million years, so they shared the earth with the huge dinosaurs of old! But they are not dinosaurs themselves.
“The other guys are even worse” is never a good excuse. That sort of thinking leads to a downward spiral; a race to the bottom.
It would only be a temporary fix. Robert Nozick gives the example of the famous basketball player as a critique of John Rawls’ veil of ignorance argument.
Suppose everyone had equal wealth but we remained different individuals with our own personalities, abilities, etc. For simplicity, assume everyone has $100 each and there are a million people in total. Now suppose one person is actually a legendary basketball player (Nozick uses Wilt Chamberlain as an example) and he decides to play basketball in the NBA to entertain everyone else. But he doesn’t do it for free, he charges each person $1 for a ticket to see him play.
If everyone pays to see him play basketball, he becomes a millionaire while everyone else becomes $1 poorer. In effect, the balance of total equality has been broken.
How do you solve this problem? You might say that he’s not allowed to charge $1 for people to see him play basketball but then what you’re really saying is that everyone is not allowed to spend their $1 to see a basketball game. So it’s actually not possible to preserve the state of total equality without taking away people’s economic freedom (that is, the freedom to decide how to spend their $100).
Thus you either gradually revert to inequality or you make all money worthless by taking away people’s choices on what to spend (and so you might as well just have a ration system instead).
There’s a ton of functionality in Photoshop that even pros never use. Every user of Photoshop needs something different from it. Sure, there’s a core of features that everyone uses (and which the Gimp also has) but there’s also countless other niche features that are a crucial part of the workflow for tons of users and they won’t give them up. This is one of the reasons Photoshop is so hard to replace.
It’s also the reason Latex is tough to replace as well. It’s a phenomenon which is not limited to commercial software, that’s for sure.
Yes. Jimmy “Barbecue” Chérizier. Former cop. Alleged to have perpetrated massacres against the public killing dozens of people and burning down hundreds of homes. As a leader of G9 he publicly threatened genocide unless the prime minister of Haiti stepped down.
This is all information I got from Wikipedia. I don’t know the veracity of any of it. I don’t live in Haiti and don’t really follow the situation there. Whoever Jimmy is, he doesn’t have very good PR. That’s all I can say for sure about him!
Sounds like your oven could use a cleaning! Fire up the self-clean and burn all that stuff off, setting off the smoke alarm one last time!
It’s all the smells they encounter on the job! Gets them super hungry!
Definitely stronger than humans, pound for pound, but probably not as strong as gorillas!
You’d have to be really strong to hold a shield that large, with that much steel reinforcement, without strapping it to your arm.
How does one rotate a shield that’s strapped to your forearm?
Seems pretty clear to me: they’re going after the Lego and Minecraft crowd. That is, little kids.
There is no Biden election gamble. US presidential elections happen every 4 years whether Biden (or any other president) likes it or not.
It’s a Macron election gamble because he actually called the election himself to try to benefit himself. This might turn out to backfire.
