Mass manufacturing has replaced handcrafting in pretty much every field. Its not economically vibable to handcraft when mass produced alternatives exist.

Crochet is a craft that is not automated. You could probably build a crochet machine, but it would be incredibly complicated, expensive, and doing so would be slower than a human. Its not a viable craft to automate.

There’s a reason you don’t see crochet clothes in stores. It takes dozens if not hundreds of hours to make a crochet garment. No one would spend thousands to pay me to handcraft a shirt over several weeks when they can buy a mass produced shirt for a fraction of the price at a store.

Hand crafting is great, as a hobby, or an act of love. Its a terrible idea as a profession outside of very niche cases. Few can afford to spend 10-100 times more for something that is hand crafted when similar alternatives exist.

This is an america problem.

Europe uses the international standard for headlight regulations, whereas the US has their own standard which is far worse for glare.

US headlights don’t have the clear cutoff line. The headlights are allowed to throw significantly more light at the angles that should be dark.

Not only that, the regulations on beam alignment are based solely on angles, and do not account for vehicle height. This means higher headlights both illuminate more of the road, and dazzle more drivers, so automakers mount the headlights as high as possible. American trucks and SUVs are notorious for this. If you drive a normal car in the US, SUVs from the factory will have headlights above your eyeline, which means you get the full force of the headlight beam shined directly into your eyes. Which american regulations also mandate be brighter than Europe.

It must be nice having a real government. I hope to live somewhere that has one someday.

If that’s how you feel about your penis, you should consider taking hormones about it.

Disagree. I respect myself now.

When they found his car, the transmission was in neutral, and the engine was running.

Yeltchen’s jeep’s transmission was a bad design. It was a lever with a button. Shifting required the driver to hold the button while moving the lever. To select park, you hold the button and push it fully forward. If you do the exact same motion but don’t push the lever fully forward the car will go into neutral with no indication other than lights. Its a faulty design that chrysler knew about before Yeltchen’s death and chose not to fix it.

With the prius shifter, all moving gears are selected by using the lever, whereas park is selected using the push button. There is no way to set park and accidentally get anything else. The prius shifter was designed from the ground up to work safely despite being a monostable design. They designed it properly and its fine.

The faulty and recalled chrysler shifter was an attempt to make a monostable version of the traditional automatic shifter, but doing so they removed all the tactile feedback that made those designs shift unambiguously.

Yeltchen would still be alive today if he was driving a prius.

The instrument panel shows the shifter position. The park button has a light that illuminates when in park. The transmission automatically switches to park when the car is turned off. If the door is opened when the transmission is in anything other than park, the car sounds a continuous warning tone, turns on the large red master warning light on the instrument panel, and shows a clear warning message on the central display.

The prius used the same shifter design for nearly 20 years from 2003 to 2022, without issue. It is a well designed system with measures to prevent leaving the car while not in park.

2008+18=2026.

2008 is chosen so that effective immediately, no one new will be allowed to smoke, but those who were previously allowed to smoke can continue.

Making the date 2026 means it takes 18 years to go into effect. There isn’t a good reason to wait.

The alternative would be banning smoking outright, which would be coercive to those who are addicted to something that was legal when they started. This policy is a timely but fair way to outlaw something.

That’s just KDE. But why am I imagining a mirror dimension universe where its called CDE and all the software names are normal words with the k’s replaced with c’s.

You sound like someone with little to no experience with breasts. Breasts are squishy. Their shape is greatly effected by clothing. That is exactly how it works.

Not like, estrogen literally is a steroid. If you’re taking HRT you’re doing steroids.

Most laypeople mean anabolic steroids when they say steroids. Those are the masculine ones that build muscles, but steroids as a category includes much more.

All sex hormones are steroids. Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone are all steroids. So is cortisol, and many others that regulate many bodily functions. Steroids are a biological communication protocol used to control many things.

Maybe I’m just being pedantic, (probably) but far from steroids in reverse, estrogen is the best steroid of all.

But that picture also has very different framings. The steroid picture is taken from much further away with a lot of zoom. His face looks flat and you can see both temples simultaneously. Faces change dramatically based on how you photograph them.

No, I’m referring to the tceffe abmepm. The water molecules “remember what it “felt like”” to be boiling so they are faster to return to that state the second time. It is really real.

This sounds dumb, frozen pre-boiled water boils faster than normal water. It really does work!

Canned pumpkin…

I am aware… but its April. Why now of all times? This is very far from the season with the pumpkins. Why is now and the time this comes up? Who thinks about pumpkins in April???

Props are low volume specialty products for professionals. Airsoft guns are high volume toys for the mass market.

A theater or film production company can afford expensive quality props, because they are an organization with an orginizarion sized budget. Airsoft guns have to be cost cut and mass produced to a low price point because they sell to normal people with human scale budgets.

Also the brown furniture on the NCR service rifle is wood. Be authentic, learn carpentry.

No it’s nowhere close to pumpkin season. This is so confusing. Why now of all times?

Its April WTF, pumpkins aren’t in season now. Cease and decist.

Those will be biscuits where’s the leavening?

Whatever do you mean?
