Well, if we are going to be anal about this, the “native american” is simply descended from people who immigrated a lot earlier. No human is truly native to the americas. All immigrants.

Good ol’ cast or heavy stamped skillets. Well seasoned, and simply follow some rules that you can google. A lot less maintenance intensive than their reputation suggests.

You dry your as with bidet paper, obviously.

I’m a fan of trains. I live in a country with a great High speed rail network. Trains are great up to what, 6-700 km. Beyond that it’s plane territory.

How about one of those in your basement or shack to charge your car overnight?

Yeah, and Santa Barbara /General Dynamics, Bazan, etc… but the people had little say in setting those up

Pretty shitty photoshop. Disrespectful to those who’ve been bombed

You are probably talking about toner (dry black powder).

I have a basic Brother monochrome laser for high volume. I can buy a compatible cartridge for 9€. An Epson A3+ (tabloid) inkjet for color and photos, not a real photo printer, only 4 inks. Compatible inks cost less than 3€.

A great option is to buy auto reset refillable carts, and refill with genuine epson eco tank ink, super cheap, and guarantees Epson quality

There is an official way to override this. In mine it’s pressing 7 times some button. I can’t

Remember what it’s called, but it’s in the manual. The mode essentially lets you print until the cartridge is empty

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

You have it backwards. You have to EVICT them.

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.

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.

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.
