Well, try a 10% of that in iOS/iPadOS.

It’s not shit, it’s an artificial shit substitute

You have it backwards. You have to EVICT them.

I’m totally onboard with this. Unless I’m mistaken in my country the law still forbids looking into a screen and away from the road, which is now needed to drive many cars!

You forgot the /s at the end of “fix your teeth by chewing on a pencil for 15 minutes a day”, right?

VE Monk in-ear headphones. Easily the best audio value in the world. Prepare to have your mind blown by the sound. Look up reviews

I own a 4yr old xiaomi. Still great, 8gb RAM, yada, yada… 4 years charging at turbo (33w I think, there are 100w phones now, I think). Still a day+ charge. Good enough for me for a 4 year old phone

What you want is ambilight or clone

I/my business have owned 4 panel vans. One was an IVECO that had a 5+m long by 2+m tall interior. I’d much rather haul a tall load enclosed. If I ever needed to haul something taller, I could always rent a pickup or a real truck, and not being saddled by the pickup’s shortcomings everyday.

Pickups have their uses, and I never denied that, I just say that most pickups don’t do pickup duty, and that a lot do panel van duty.

I think the engineering is probably mostly sound. I don’t trust the execution. Many adhesives need specific curing times, temperatures, UV lights, whatever. If you don’t respect those…

That’s my concern. Application/execution, not design. Let’s remember that Musk believes in advancing by BOOOM

There are many reasons to use adhesives rather than fasteners. A very basic one is that fasteners weaken the surface where the drill is made, and all the forces are borne by the fastening point. With adhesives, forces are borne by the entire piece. How’s that for a neat trick?

Another advantage is that you don’t see a rivet or screw head on your nice shiny surface.

I never said signage was a 1:1 comparison with automotive, just that I’ve installed a lot of signs, some very large, whose structure was made of bonded aluminum, that many are over a decade old, that some withstand major stresses, and that none have failed.

As to the longevity? Do you often hear about planes losing panels? Because there are a heck of a lot of bonded panels in airplanes, both commercial and military.

Also, probably somewhere in your cars there are some bonded surfaces.

Lastly, Lotus has been making their sport scar chassis mostly bonded aluminum for the past, what, 30 years, maybe more? There is not a single case of delamination in those years. Good enough for me.

Many religions start out promoting freedom, and evolve to forbidding things and actions

I believe they are sublimation printers, which require specific inks and papers. I seem to remeber that they produce very long lasting prints, which ordinary inkjets (even pigment) can’t achieve.

Smell yes (as pretty much any enclosed public place, office, etc. of that era). Smoke? not much.

Source, old enough to have smoked in planes.

Adhesives are used in many aerospace applications to bond panels and structural elements. Some Lotus racing and street cars chassis are bonded aluminum! Lotus are racing chassis specialists, making chassis for other racing teams.

The space shuttle’s bottom tile heat shield, which withstood insane temperatures and stresses, were glued.

Adhesive science is pretty cool. You may want to read up a bit.

Take a look here. I’ve used their adhesives and 3M, also an impressive range, in a signmaking business I used to own. Not a single sign has failed in decades, weathering rain, snow, wind, very hot summers. We are talking pretty big surfaces, under pretty big loads and stresses.

They are cold blooded, so cold blooded…

Not the unipant, or the monopant, for that matter.

What is the problem with glued panels?

Also, neat trick: If you need to add numbers higher than 10 you can take your shoes off to be able to do so.

What in hell is comforting about that picture?
