Orcas have almost never killed humans in recorded history. The recorded cases were either jailed orcas, or mistaken identity. There are however many documented cases of orcas offering catch to humans, and behavior like that. They “kill” boats, not humans.

Same with Turd, he hates being compared to cheetos.

I’m no historian, I’m just pointing out what the Torah says God commands them to do.

Deut 20:16 But in the towns of these peoples, which YHWH your God is giving you as a heritage, you shall not let a soul remain alive. 20:17 No, you must proscribe them—the Hittites and the Amorites, the Canaanites and the Perizzites, the Hivites and the Jebusites—as YHWH your God has commanded you.

Netanyahu?

From Haareth: “82 % of Israelis support the expelling of Gazans”.

Let’s not give Israelis a pass.

Also, this is not new:

Deut 20:16 But in the towns of these peoples, which YHWH your God is giving you as a heritage, you shall not let a soul remain alive. 20:17 No, you must proscribe them—the Hittites and the Amorites, the Canaanites and the Perizzites, the Hivites and the Jebusites—as YHWH your God has commanded you

If you are not Jewish, remember: They are the chosen people, you are not.

For one, I protest with my wallet

That’ll show them!

Calling fossil gas “Natural” is really genius. I mean, it IS natural, but in most people’s minds it’s perceived as some sort of “bio” fuel.

Spain produces a lot of high quality wine, but also a lot of lower quality wine, used for mixing to make cheap “table” wine. Much of that is exported, often in cartons.

Many French winemakers have been importing that type of wine for decades to mix to increase volume in lower quality wines.

So fuck the more agricultural strong members, and benefit the more industrial ones? Nice.

(Some) People are up in arms about Russian meddling in the west, but Israel has been doing it since the 40’s and no one batted an eyelash.

The fact that some (many?) Jewish lawmakers and military are allowed to have dual Israeli/US citizenship is baffling to me.

I would depart Barcelona too.

Fuck! I rode that a few months ago!

If it breaks down into tiny pieces its not biodegradable. The definition of biodegradable is that its chemically “processed by nature”.

BTW, biodegradable does not necessarily mean innocuous. A lot of “natural” elements and compounds are toxic. Something may be biodegraded, and leave mercury as one of the resulting elements, for example.

The caveats you express are somewhat valid, but not totally correct. Printing correctly, with a food safe nozzle, path, and PLA formulation, is entirely possible. Simply printing in single layers, with a properly dialed in printer can eliminate your concerns. Medical items and implants are printed out of PLA, albeit with extreme production controls.

However, printing these single use items would be absolutely un-economical. 3D printing shines in short runs, bespoke items, like replacement part that are out of production, or which are very difficult to manufacture by other methods like injection or machining.

Its true that PLA, in unmodified form, has a much higher modulus than PP or PE, so squishiness is out of the question. What I have mentioned before is that I have bought single serve olive oil in PLA containers. From what I could see, these were injection molded and had a film top made from a plastic I never bothered to identify.

These containers were surprisingly elastic when crushed, not as elastic as other plastics, like PET, PP or PE, but much more than I had come to expect from my experience with the material. I’m going to attribute this to molding vs. extruding.

I never said that these should be produced via 3D printing, it would be both economically unfeasible, and very difficult to achieve food safety, as I have mentioned.

The process you are describing is injection molding, generally used for solid parts. In this case, a variation called blown injection molding, is used. In this case the material is injected into a mold, and then a gas is blown into the interior, to make the material stick to the inner mold, and create a cavity. Nozzles are involved, as they are used to inject the material into the mold. These nozzles can be made specifically to be food safe, with stainless steel, for example.

Remember that plane where the 1st officer locked the captain out of the cockpit and flew the plane into a mountain?

I believe the rule now is that for a pilot to exit the cockpit, a cabin crew member has to be in the cockpit, to prevent this sort of thing.

You may feel that Spain is in the same league as Portugal, but by most metrics, it’s objectively not. It’s one of the EU’s big 4, a top 20 economy, the world’s 8th largest arms exporter, etc. Not a superpower, but definitely a power.
