Plastic bends. It just doesn't suffer catastrophic deformation from it, and instead returns to its old shape when force is no longer applied. Aluminium, not so much.
This is the exact reason why public funding needs to be primary source of funding for research organisations. Otherwise, certain "inconvenient" types of research (for donors) gets terminated like this.
Russia already is on the "axis of evil" as its head as far as US operations are concerned, and has been so ever since the 1990s. They have little to nothing to lose on that front.
The far more obvious reason why Russia has no interest in invading is the fact that its military resources are limited and it could only make one such invasion happen at best. And it has no interest in tying up its entire military capacity in such an invasion for decades.
Unlike US, it doesn't have the capability to invade and occupy multiple countries at once and still have significant military capability left over for maintaining other operations.
Of course it is. The moment someone dares to point out the obvious propaganda in the Western media, he's a "Putin shill". The moment that same person points out the obvious propaganda in Russian media, he's "Obama shill".
You people are just tiring in the same countless rebuked claims, like that "Putin admitted to military operatives in Crimea", "Crimean vote was rigged", "There are fascists in power in Kiev", "Polish are openly attacking Eastern Ukrainians" and other propagandist bullshit.
All of these claims have been shown to be either false or taken out of context. No, Polish PM didn't admit to sending troops to Eastern Ukraine. No, Putin didn't admit to having anything other than military already present in Crimea as per contract with Ukraine in Crimea during the annexation.
Tired. So tired. You should just go fight it out with Russian shills directly. You deserve each other, and maybe in the mean time we could get some objectivity in our mass media instead of overwhelming wave after wave of bullshit where Ukrainian sources are quoted daily saying hyperbolic bullshit, and then debunking is posted on last page in small the next day as facts become available. All while front page is full of new bullshit.
Even Pravda at its peak wasn't quite as obvious in its propagandist lies.
Let me get this straight: you think that Ukraine was something different or is something different under pro-Western duo that lead the country before him, or the current oligarch president?
It was in the end. But like the most successful space projects, it required a massive amount of failures to succeed. In space exploration, success generally rides on tens, in some cases hundreds of failures. It's part of that particular field.
"Continual development" without "replacement" for that long of a time tells you everything you need to know about how little development there has been in rocket engine technology.
The problem being that none of the countries alone likely has the resources for deep space exploration. Some sort of cooperation will be required, especially as it became apparent with ISS that US has a massive lead in some technological aspects and Russia in others.
"Russian puppet" was actively pushing for its own country's benefits by pitting EU and Russia against one another in what essentially amounted to a bidding war. I recommend actually familiarizing with Yanukovich's actions and why Russian leadership didn't attempt to seriously push to reinstate him as a result. He was anything but pro-Russian, as his tough bargaining significantly reduced Ukrainian gas bill and he was negotiating actually good terms from Ukraine's point of view with EU instead of total economic surrender of Ukraine to EU given by Poroshenko.
I'm guessing that West just figured it was cheaper to overthrow him and install a puppet that would economically surrender their country than to actually accept his terms, like they did during Cold War with Latin American leaders that tried to push for better lives for their citizenry.
Considering the ultimate result, I suspect that most in EU are hitting themselves and Fule was banned from quite a few of old boys clubs for his apparent idiocy, while Nuland got a lot of pats on the back for preventing any political alliance between EU and Russia in foreseeable future.
There were exactly two coups in entire post-Soviet history of Ukraine which encompasses 23 years of history. First one was early one, and after that every single regime change (until the last one) was through massive dissatisfaction of masses with incumbent powers enacted through the democratic process.
A nice summary of modern Western propaganda, sadly and a good show of just far out it is. Soviet Pravda was closer to the truth in its analyses at its prime time than our media is today.
When you consider that if Putin actually wanted to do what our pundits claim he wants to do, he would have easily done it. For example, Russian Army pointedly pushed all the way to the established border of South Ossetia and Georgia with incredible rapidity, pushing attacking Georgian forces out about as fast as they could flee and then the Russian Army stopped like it hit a wall, even through Georgian army's fighting capability was completely destroyed by that point and going to Tbilisi just meant moving the armour about a hundred kilometers more.
Same thing with Ukraine. If Russia wanted to conquer it, it would have already, back in February. Considering that they didn't directly attack even after Ukrainians accidentally (?) shelled some towns on Russian side, killing a few people, or after a few hundred Ukrainian soldiers crossed onto their side only to find that locals just invited them in, fed them and sent them back, it's pretty silly to suggest that Russians "didn't invade Ukraine because they couldn't".
The entire demonisation as "undemocratic" of the leader who enjoys more genuine democratic support among his people than most Western leaders are enjoying among theirs is telling of just how entrenched the ability of established order in our media to spread blatant lies is today, almost two and a half decades after the end of Cold War.
Considering the sheer amount of failures of Apollo program before its eventual success, all while program itself was consuming a gargantuan ~5% of US GDP at the time, I would wager this isn't a one month project. Especially when you consider that baseline space technology like rocket engines hasn't seen much development since 70s.
Not really. The reason for this is because we stopped producing many things and outsourced much of the dirtiest and energy-intensive production to China.
If China was to stop doing that production for us and we'd start to have to smelt and shape that steel and aluminium again, our emissions per capita would explode.
I get a strong suspicion that you're an right wing American who believes fox news' fiction about Europe.
In real life on the other hand, most of the Europe has been in a sharp recession for last five years, with youth unemployment at record heights and those youths who are employed struggling to remain employed and suffering reduced wages.
I get the feeling you're one of those "let them eat cake" types that thinks that *70 and *80 cards are common and not something that rich older men like us grab because we have extra money to spend.
I recommend a look at steam hardware survey for a harsh dose of reality.
So spend them. Market is choke full of after market water cooling solutions for people like you. Because people who are target audience for these cards aren't going to balk at a cost of a water cooling addition to their box when it's a tiny fraction of what they paid for said box.
Which is why you're not target audience for top end cards. People who are, if faced with problem of heat, simply spend another hundred on a water cooling solution that is very quiet and a much more efficient PSU that would easily run one-two of those cards with minimal fan activity.
You can hack the drivers and graphics card's report name, or you can roll back to said drivers. The functionality is there, it's just disabled in current drivers.
Depends on resolution used. At 1440p, you're already going to strain a lot of graphics cards to the limits, especially if you want relatively stable 60fps.
At 2160p, you're pretty much going to need the best of the best.
Depending on your country, time for payback assuming ten hours uptime daily under load is between three and ten years (ten years for mine, did the math about a week ago).
Chances of a graphics card surviving that long, especially under constant load are pretty slim.
Not really. If you're burning 400-1000€ on a graphics card, you are not going to care about a few extra euro a year in your electric bill.
I can understand this on the low end, but "woo power savings" on the high end is nothing short of amusingly silly. High end has always been and will always be about one thing and one thing alone: raw power. There's a reason why power supplies that push 1500 watts enthusiasts exist.

Did you read the linked article at all?
China is building up massive amounts of nuclear as well. They are really trying to kick their coal habit.
Wind is more of a curiosity than anything in China.

I'm not sure what you consider a mid range PC, but I do know what the suppliers consider one. And it's around 500-600 at most today.
And frankly, "oh noes coal power" argument is equally silly. You're talking a hundred watts savings at best, and that's when machine is under load.
Considering the total usage of these top end cards on steam (below 1%), it's literally these savings are less than a rounding error.
I don't think you understand. These cards cost more than an entry level PC. 980 in fact costs more than midrange PC. Alone.
If you're shopping for a card like this, you really aren't going to give a damn about power bill increase from it.
So spend them. Market is choke full of after market water cooling solutions for people like you. Because people who are target audience for these cards aren't going to balk at a cost of a water cooling addition to their box when it's a tiny fraction of what they paid for said box.
