  1. I have a one-speed grinder, which I want to change to to variable speed water-bath type. I want to match the speed to the item as think it will be safer and less likely to scorch the metal.
  2. As I said earlier to iNow, let's keep the subject to America. This massively complicates the discussion and it does fall in 'whatabout' territory
  3. It doesn't mean he's Mr Memory. Get over 60 and your brain more closely resembles a sieve,
  4. Unfortunately, I've read a few stories here of trans-women going into women's prisons and assaulting them. That sort of thing, albeit rare thing keeps the hatred going.
  5. At least we agree on that. Africa is important to me, but bringing that in makes it too complicated. I'm not a Republican, so that does not apply.
  6. Another waste of electrons.
  7. Like a true GOP American... thinking about the money...
  8. Work through increasing grades (higher particle-density) of abrasive until you reach the level you require. Japanese waterstones are pretty good if you want it to be flat as well.
  9. You will not find it hard to find that black-on-black slavery predates white-on-black. The US and Europeans merely joined in... it was enabled by black people that already were in business. https://news.osu.edu/when-europeans-were-slaves--research-suggests-white-slavery-was-much-more-common-than-previously-believed/ It's important not to over-generalize. Talk about slavery in the US only, then you are on safer ground. History is complicated. Let's stick to the US.
  10. It only needs to be contiguous metallized plastic or metal.
  11. George was at the height of his Wham! fame. IIRC he was concerned about his marketability with his mainly female base.
  12. It's geocities.com then a btinternet email address. Not a link to an organisation's site. It's not secure. Looks like a personal email address.
  13. I don't have a tele, but I watched a couple of episodes of The Orville at a friend's, which was quite amusing. Schitt's Creek as well, I've liked. Hand-Maid's Tale as well.
  14. George Michael was pulled in for it when he was in public denial at the time iirc. I was disappointed in him, that he didn't stand up and be counted.
  15. I wonder if that is somehow related to/ hangover from the past gay activity of 'cottaging' around public bathrooms, when homosexuality was generally frowned on or illegal.
  16. Talking of the devil, Reuters has an article on reparations: https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-slavery-reparations/
  17. It's injected just before implosion. Tritium has a half-life of only 12 years, so it needs to be accessible for servicing.
  18. Elon is a conductor on the world stage, increasingly consumed by narcissism and the desire for public exposure. He's looking to have a cage fight with Zuckerberg. If he proves one thing, and that's money can't buy class behaviour. The more money you have, the more you can isolate yourself from reality, and eventually sycophants become your only source of information that you rely on. Remind you of anyone?
  19. Where are we? In the universe. At what was called the Inflationary Period/Big Bang, distances increased exponentially between masses. The space increased in-between masses, they didn't eject from a singular point in the ring pattern of a typical explosion. It was a big expansion, not a big explosion.
  20. "..In this understanding although the Universe appears to expand from a point,...". Whatever idea you concoct based on this is built on sand.
  21. And it wasn't spherical to more uniformly take the pressure over its surface. Apparently, it was sub' carrying fees to the Titanic site that triggered him to use carbon. The non-spherical shape was to allow him to carry passengers. One thing is clear: you shouldn't test physics with peoples lives
  22. No. There is isn't an infinite amount of things to interact for an infinite amount of time. I think most conventional scientists think the universe will experience 'Heat Death' eventually.... it may well basically turn into photons and dissipate in the expanding universe to no activity anywhere. Look up: Big Rip, Big Freeze and Big Crunch. These are the ways it could end up.
