I think the problem lies in the underestimation of the potential for that level of personal data. The privacy counter-argument is usually “nothing to hide.” Psychographic profiling is the incredibly accurate practice of predicting an individual’s engagement based on previous choices, and is far more invasive than “telling secrets.”
This is absolutely necessary for anyone born before ~1985. I have so many “random facts” memorized from pre-internet days, and many of them have turned out to be half-right hearsay or straight up incorrect when faced with fact-checking.
While it’s true that the relationship between melting point and boiling point differ from material to material, the melting point always remains below the boiling point until the triple point.
The triple point is when the ambient pressure is low enough that a substance can be solid, liquid, and vapor in equilibrium at the same time.
As for engines, they burn at temperatures hot enough to melt the steel they are made of, even while on Earth. Engineers employ regenerative cooling to prevent the housing from melting at such high temperatures.
It would take substantially less energy to make metal molten in space. As air pressure drops, the temperature needed for materials to change states becomes lower. That’s why water boils much faster on a mountaintop than it does at sea level.
The metal would be manually workable at relatively low temperatures. Without air, you would need a tank of a gaseous substance to “blow” into the metal.
We would create jobs, increase tax revenue, and people like Han Lee wouldn’t need to launder money, if we simply legalized prostitution.
Sure, ideally. While we’re waiting for a 2/3 congressional majority, wouldn’t it make sense to focus on getting the SEC to hold them accountable to the laws that are already in place?
I follow, but that’s not correct. The laws are already preventing them from insider trading. The SEC is not holding them accountable. More laws won’t change the lack of enforcement. Pressing the SEC to do their job is the solution.
That’s incorrect. The SEC is responsible for holding Congress accountable to the insider trading laws already in place. Congress is not exempt, nor are they charged with self-policing.

Ah, the brick outhouses of the ‘80s. Mom said never to use them, knowing they were the local hangout of the ever-stylish rubber face gang.
Reminds me of the MacBook Wheel lol
I go the other way. When AA/AAA batteries are too weak for high drain devices, I save them for my remote controls. They usually last for months due to the intermittent use and low wattage.
You sound just like the Republicans that say we shouldn’t support Ukraine because it’s a failed state. There’s no justification for genocide.
Are you being serious right now? The sinicization of Tibet began in 1951. It was ruled a genocide over 60 years ago. It continues to this day.
Either you have an agenda, or you need to read more.
Chattel slavery is different than indentured servitude. There is no ownership of the indentured servant, but they are forced to work against their will. This is the slavery found in Xinjiang, as well as the US penal system.
