Exactly. 3D printing doesn't really offer anything for bomb makers. Except for having them spend a lot of money for something that provides no tangible benefit.
and sintered metal isn't ever going to be as strong as forged for making guns.
While there are reviews from beta testers with extensive knowledge of the product, they were in no way given monetary benefits for providing their honest opinions of the product
No, you just give them lots of free phones, and only if they give good reviews.
3D printed a hand grenade? Where do you get the detonator and explosive from? The rest of it is just metal. It can simply be a tin can filled with nuts and bolts. As soon as complex compounds can be assembled by a printer.... Well you're in Startrek's universe then
Immunotherapy to cure peanut allergies involves using peanut proteins to build tollerance and reprogram the immune system. https://www.theguardian.com/au...
Not what I was getting at with my initial comment though. People with healthy immune systems don't tend to develop allergies. To have a healthy immune system, you need to be exposed to a variety of things, both good and bad. Some things are genetic defects, most things aren't. If parents sterilise everything their children touch,don't let them play outside, and wash them with antibacterial soap, they get sick more often.
Time to move countries then? Perhaps to one that legislates minimum required employee rights, like separate paid leave entitlements, bereavement leave, sick leave, public holidays, days in lieu, overtime, etc. USA is quite well known for shitting on the little guy. The only thing that differs among states is the amount and stench of the shit.
It's also worth pointing out that Lithium carbonate is also a very small component of a battery and Lithium is only a small component of Lithium carbonate. There's only about 80g of Lithium per kWh of capacity.
in 2008 cobalt prices went up to $50/lb It then went back to a bit under $20 and stayed pretty stead until last year. It's now $37 and rising fast. The problem is more than half of the worlds cobalt comes from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It's not a very politically stable country.
It's an immune system response to something that isn't harming you (like peanuts) or an over-reaction to something (like bee venom). It's caused by a defective immune system.
When was the last time someone paid VAT on the bitcoins they mined? When was the last time someone paid VAT to customs when they bought bitcoins from another country?
People are treating bitcoins like shares or currency. They should be treated as a commodity.
they get a better price on stuff than an individual would, but they get taxed on whatever value they create with it.
They pay the same price as everyone else. They only need to collect sales tax on the value they add.
If an individual bought the same thing as the company and later sold it for the same price, they would make more money*, as they don't have to pay the sales tax.
* as long as they are under the threshold of having to collect VAT
eg: VAT is 15% Supplier sells $10 item for $11.50 incl VAT
Company on-sells for $23 incl VAT and makes $11.50 profit. Must pay $1.50 of the $3 VAT they collected. Profit after VAT is $10. Person on-sells for $23, makes $11.50 profit. Pays no VAT.
offtopic: If construction was anything like programming, an incorrectly fitted lock would allow arsonists to come in and burn down the entire building... because there are arsonists just wandering around the streets, checking every lock because it's fun to burn down buildings.
It's just plain right. Sales tax is only collected once. If companies couldn't claim back sales tax, every reseller and manufacturer in the supply chain would collect more and more tax.
As an extreme example if companies couldn't claim back the difference with 20 entities in the supply chain and 15% sales tax, if each one sold their goods for $1 more than they bought it for, the end cost to the consumer would be $118, with $20 of profit going the 20 companies and $98 going to the government as tax with an effective tax rate of 480%
What you're thinking of is medium density fibreboard, aka MDF
I think MDF is actually stronger than particle board. Just never get it wet or it swells up and falls apart. Particle board doesn't tend to swell up but eventually the glue fails and it flakes away like weet bix
LiFePO4 has pretty shit cycle life compared to even manganese oxide cells. These days they're only good if you want cheap and you don't care about weight, size or disposing of them.

When was the last time you travelled 40 million miles? Never? I thought so.
I classified adults as everyone older than the 80odd million people under 20.
Yeah, they're already paying for it.
But most Americans aren't paying $5 a year for it. 45% don't pay any federal income tax.
40,000,000 miles is quite far
Because it would take every single adult in USA paying $5 a year to make up the billion dollars it costs to run NWS
I suppose they could add a levy on everything that depends on it
Like flying, fishing, farming, construction, anything involving satellites...
I've never witnessed a hurricane.
A few tropical cyclones maybe, but never a hurricane.

I applied for a credit card once, it got held up in the mail.
The bank refused to give me the card number to use and said it required activation by bringing the physical card in to a branch before it would work.

No, chipboard and particle board are the same thing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Also known as low-density fibreboard
What you're thinking of is medium density fibreboard, aka MDF
I think MDF is actually stronger than particle board. Just never get it wet or it swells up and falls apart. Particle board doesn't tend to swell up but eventually the glue fails and it flakes away like weet bix

These days they're only good if you want cheap and you don't care about weight, size or disposing of them.
particle board wins hands down in terms of cost.
wood chips + glue = cheap
