Stainless steel (304) is about 3 times more dense than 6061 aluminum. Yet it's only about 10% stronger in tensile strength, and about 2.8 times better in Young's modulus. Meaning that you need more mass for the equivalent strength of aluminum. So you have to have more fuel, and more fuel (and volume in the tanks - which means they are also heavier) to carry that additional fuel.
Educated != Intelligent. Too many make that wrong causative relationship. A few of the most intelligent engineers/researchers I've worked with had a HS degree only, and I have worked with lots of dolts with too many letters after their name...
You're under the false impression that the user owns the phone; the actual owner (Apple) can choose to do with it as it wants, including letting their servers decide when your sensors are active.
This is what happens when the nuclear site is the US Federal Government and exempts itself from any and all regulations that apply to private nuclear plants. This is the result of unchecked Federal power and authority.
So far, I don't see us getting involved in Venezuela other than saying "mess with out embassy and we'll stomp you", since that is effectively US soil. Having a plan to back up the statement seems wise - don't you think?
But you've never answered the question - how is it foreign intervention to recognize the rightful President of a nation?
Nice strawman, pope! No - I would advocate using military defense to defend our borders - and an embassy IS a border. Glad we have a President more interested in getting us out of wars and using negotiating tactics instead of drones and bombs and troops. And yes, when you negotiate with a bully, you do need to use the language and threats they understand - you don't have to carry through, just speak their language. Maybe it's why President Obama sucked so terribly at foreign policy...

Is this not the nation where "All men are created equal"? Ahem.
As long as they are not CIS-gender, white men... Or to the right of Mao or Stalin. Or eat meat. Or ever drove a truck. Or made a comment that could ever possibly make anyone feel uncomfortable. Other than that, yes - we're all equal. Especially if you choose to break 18 USC 1924 and are well-connected, politically - that makes you more equal than others!
I don't have one of those either, and neither did my clients, but we did some custom silicon... Surprisingly, I also don't have an injection molding machine - but I do get custom parts that I designed (including the tooling). Huh - it's almost like with a bit of knowledge and outside vendors one can make something custom for R&D!
The EU, the OAS, and many others weren't threatened by Maduro, either - were they?
It's also good to see the EU on the right side of things - in this case, clear electoral fraud. Again, if the EU, the OAS, Australia, and dozens of others see the facts, why can't we? This isn't about direct intervention - it was about "what do we do if Maduro carries through on his promise to invade our embassy". Would you prefer we have no plans?
More Americans died in Afghanistan under President Obama than President Bush, too... I believe the previous White House resident promised to end the war in Afghanistan, end the war in Iraq, and stop the policy of US military intervention. He didn't do any of that, but got us involved in additional wars.
You didn't answer the question - we've done what the EU. the OAS, and many others have done - recognized Maduro's opponent. How is that a drumbeat for war? Other than Maduro demanding the US embassy to close (and then backing down when we rightfully pointed out the US embassy is US soil and we will not tolerate a Venezuelan invasion)... We recognized the winner, we did not threaten Maduro, we responded to his threats of violence with defensive posturing only - and we're the bad guys. Because military people do their job and provide options in case it all Goes To Hell...
As far as "wag the dog", how about that Libya move by Obama and Hillary? That was a great one, wasn't it? Syria as well...
Most of the journalists in China are also private, not controlled by the State at all! Of course, if you say the wrong thing, you lose your job and may disappear, but hey - you're not employed by the State!
There are mosques and churches in Israel, and lots of Arabs in the Knesset. How many synagogues are there in Gaza? How many Jews sit on the Palestinian Legislative Council? For that matter, how many Jews are allowed to live in Gaza? Cleansing, indeed...
This is a desktop, not a phone/tablet. And M1.6x2 screws are readily available at McMaster Carr and other sources. Those are smaller than you'd ever need on a desktop. But if you wanted those iPhone screws (the smallest is their TS1, which is a bone-stock M0.8x2 with a weird 5 lobed drive), you can get them domestically without much issue.
Growing up in Seattle, Aerospace worker union strikes were a regular thing. And they always seemed to last 7 to 10 weeks. I got curious about that in high school and did a little math - it turns out the increase in wages the union was "demanding" over the next 3 year contract was about the same amount that the company didn't pay during the strike. So the workers would strike, demanding $10,000 more over 3 years. The company would stall until about $10,000 in wages had not been paid, then would capitulate - and the workers would walk out all proud realizing they struck for essentially zero.
Hey Apple, here's a solution. If your ME is custom-spec'ing screws - they're not a very good ME. There is precious little reason to use a custom screw, it would be VERY few and far-between uses, and definitely not one I could ever see for a desktop computer. Custom-designed screws are a lazy way out...
Only to a certain point; if you buy capital equipment to build your business (say, you make screws and you need more CNC lathes), then you must depreciate that expense over several years. So you drop $1MM in capex, but you do not get to expense the entire purchase that first year, meaning some of those profits you wanted to lower by spending $1MM will still be taxed, and then you have to claim some of those back over the next few years.

Otherwise we could have blamed this on Trump!

So you agree you were wrong - it is not foreign intervention (as you posited) to recognize a rightful President.

No, it's about running to Canada and then taking and no properly storing State secrets...

Liberals tend to be more intolerant than conservatives. Those who shout and scream the most for "tolerance" are, in fact, the least tolerant among us...

Not even close. ABC/NBC/CBS do about 3-4 times more viewers than Fox News.
How is it intervention to recognize the rightful President of a nation? Why do you want to normalize tyranny?

We're number 2 in manufacturing output, with $3.6 trillion in output. That's more than the GDP of all but 4 countries (the US included).

The US had a 35% Federal corporate tax rate until 2017 - it's not like that fall to 21% (not 20%) was a while ago...
