Oh shit, I hadn’t thought of that! That would be more accessible to the uninitiated, which is his thing.

That makes sense. Might’ve just been an accidental swap. Tweets aren’t peer reviewed.

lol fair

Also it’s interesting that NDT orients his EM spectrum by wavelength rather than frequency, such that “above red” and “below UV” falls outside the visible range. Is ascending wavelength the convention in astrophysics?

Wasn’t Data “fully functional” and “anatomically correct?”

I recall a tour guide at the armory museum in Boston describing accounts of (presumably well-to-do) armor wearers showing off their suits’ mobility by doing cartwheels. Still difficult to imagine, but yeah fighting in clunky armor sounds like it could easily be more dangerous than none at all.

That makes sense. I suppose that’s what plate was for?

Anecdotal but a kitchen I worked at used it for shucking oysters, i.e. specifically to prevent puncture of skin.

I thought this was a DnD joke or something

Yeah we’ve all been there. I remember feeling similarly about their GPUs more than a decade ago.

The refined uranium IHS doubles your clicks per minute and facilitates exfoliation.

Wait, that was your takeaway? I understand cumulative frustration is hard to reverse, but it seems pretty solid that they accepted an RMA two years after purchase, reported test results, and replaced it.

As much as I try to resist brand loyalty, I feel like that kind of support experience would probably bring me back next time.

Hey hey, I’m not the same commenter from before. Also I was agreeing not disagreeing. Just wanted to offer useful tips, that’s all.

When correcting error with expressions of anger, it helps to name/define the behavior or idea you wish to condition against, to demonstrate why it hurt you or is otherwise personal, to do so proportionately, then to stop being angry quickly after they apologize/acquiesce.

Cool, that’s more resilience than I expected from a super sharp edge (but then I don’t really know anything about knives). Stropping looks wicked old-timey to my eyes, so of course I have to try it.

Over the years I’ve only had a couple bloody mistakes using safety razors (just trying to go too fast, not using enough soap, not tightening the head fully, or just getting the angle wrong). I assumed straight razors were less forgiving and never tried, but maybe it’s finally time to give it a shot!

No experience with straight razors. How often do you have to sharpen them? Did it take a while to get the technique right?
