Not that I recall, but the mere fact that they’re depicted as getting along with each other (consistently!) throughout the series is puzzling to anyone who, uh, actually saw the movie.

There exist air conditioners with power outage recovery, and they’ve been around for decades. It’s usually labelled “automatic restart” on the spec sheet. This was already a solved problem before the Internet Of Shitty Things, and it seems that in your case some rat bastard went around and deliberately unsolved it.

Whoever that person is, we need to find him and give him a smart kick up the rear.

You separate out the isotopes. You don’t create U-235, but rather you extract the fissile isotope from your sample. There’s only a limited amount of the stuff in the world and the majority of uranium still buried (and in fact, the majority of it at all) is non-fissile U-238. Only something like 0.7% of the uranium in the world is U-235.

I suspect this is highly dependent on the level of enrichment of said uranium.

Even buying it piecemeal in dinkum quantities from scientific suppliers as a private customer, I’m seeing depleted uranium — i.e., 99.9% U238 and not realistically fissile material — priced at $32.50 per gram online. 2 kilos of that would thus be $65,000. Although I’ll be damned if I know just what the hell you’d do with the stuff.

I reckon weapons grade would run you just a smidgen more than that.

Correct on that count. The whole thing is now just a boy-who-cried-wolf situation.

My principal saw Schrade Switch-It clipped to my pants and thought it was a pager, and sternly admonished me not to bring my “pager” to school anymore.

Righty-o, man, no pager, I told him. No problem.

What a toolbox.

Definitely orange.

That’s not why. It’s because it’s cheaper for a manufacturer of your widget to just slap a Prop 65 label on anything and everything out of an overabundance of caution rather than go through all the testing and certification required to verify if there is or isn’t any such material in the product. There’s no penalty for false positives, so to remain “complaint” suddenly every manufactured good on Earth suddenly sprouted the warning.

I will see your all of the above, and raise you:

Even at the time I could not believe that this was indeed a thing that happened. Insert Doug Walker meme here: It’s for kids!

Well you see, they built that house entirely out of old computer cases nailed together.

Why doɇs this pɇrson fɇel the neɇd to randomly decoratɇ the letter Ɇ?

That’s exactly what it is. I wonder if any of the users being “roasted” figured out they ought to unplug it.

Ooh, Jason, tell me what you’re chasin’

Because the night will never give you what you want

Ooh, Jason, and if you can’t escape it

I hope you find whatever you’ve been looking for

Oh, one other point of order on that as well: Obviously even if it’s not all bullshit (spoiler: it’s all bullshit), Revelation is supposed to be a prophecy of the end of times which obviously hasn’t happened yet. I’m pretty sure we would have noticed if it did, what with the sounding of the seven trumpets, the worldwide earthquake, the 200 million horsemen slaying a third of mankind, etc.

So even if it’s all somehow inerrantly true, the Devil hasn’t killed anyone yet.

If we believe that the various Satans (in the original Hebrew, literally “adversary,” and rendered without the definite article so there are probably multiples of them) are in fact one and the same with the Devil (singular), this link-up doesn’t even occur until the Book of Revelation which is firmly a new testament thing and wholly unsupported by any of the old testament or ancient Hebrew sources from which it’s derived. Making all the assumptions required on basis that this is so, then whoever he was killed a lot of people in Revelation. But not until then.

In old Hebrew tradition, the Satans are sort of the prosecuting attorneys for god. They work for him in order to tempt the faith and righteousness of various people. Several mortal people are also given the moniker of “Satans” when they’re working against the interests of god or various other individuals.

Meanwhile, the notion that Lucifer is also one and the same with the Devil or any kind of Satan is a much later interpolation made when the church(es) of the era wanted to insert a bogeyman into their religion and they needed a justification for it, some time in the AD 200s. Lucifer is identified as the king of Babylon, a mortal, when he has attracted god’s ire in his sole appearance in Isaiah 14. The situation has become so warped that his name was finally removed in the New International Version of the bible and he’s simply referred to as the “morning star, son of the dawn.” (Isaiah 14:12, if you want to go have a look.)

Modern pontificates will also insist that the king of Tyre in Ezekiel 28 is also somehow the Devil, which is dubious. Even if he were, and god were speaking allegorically for precisely half of his rant as we are thus demanded to believe, god smokes him at the end of the passage anyway so it’s a moot point.

The Qidi Q2 has built-in spaghetti detection (and print failure detection in general), auto leveling, bed mesh compensation, etc. It’s not a print farm machine, though, so how you’ll get your parts off the bed and into your finished bucket will require some outboard tools and elbow grease. If its mechanicals are anything like my prior X-Max 3 from them I don’t predict it will require any adjustment, maintenance, or parts replacement for many hundreds/thousands of hours of runtime. I guess eventually you’ll need a nozzle at minimum, and you might want to lubricate the linear guides on the gantries every now and again.

It’s also compatible with their “Qidi box” filament changer doohickey if that sort of thing is important to you.

Destiny Hope’s similarly fictitious last name for her “out of character” persona in the Hannah Montana show, which was in fact in character anyway. They’re all stage names.

These days this is true of many other brands as well. The early days of your printer showing up as a kit full of bits and requiring you to spend as much time wrenching on it as using it are gone, unless you deliberately go and seek something like that out.

Qidi, Anycubic, Prusa, Creatality, and probably tons of others I can’t think of off the top of my head also make machines that are unbox-and-use.

Either this exists and is at least drivable at low speed in a straight line, or the North Koreans have done a much better job than usual of creating the illusion that this is so.

It’s got to have a turning radius measured in counties. We may very well be witnessing its top speed, also.
