First, wildcat strikes, and strikes in general, were never legal per-say. They became legal when the US finally concluded that they could not stop unions from forming and strikes from disrupting production.

Second, the NLRB’s existence was specifically for the purposes of reducing interruptions in industrial production. The NLRB were never an efficient means of getting what you wanted/needed at work, they were mostly just a low-risk means of applying fines to an abusive employer.

The labor wars are coming back in style, most likely. It’ll only be a matter of time before armed strikes and similar matters start happening again.

Gotta make sure it’s the right one. Even ones from the 2000’s that are below college-level are a trash shoot when it comes to slavery.

The average american reads at a 7th grade level. That’s the second-to-last year of middle school, which then goes onto highschool, then college.

Cheap ethernet cord sometimes has thin insulation on the inside, and because of that you’re able to see the wire twist through it.

‘Wet’ is in reference to pussy juice I think. That’s the best guess I’ve got. I’ll let Cunningham’s Law do it’s thing here.

If it’s predominantly men it’s ‘creepy’. If it’s predominantly women, it’s ‘wet’.

I’ve heard the explanation being that if it’s mostly guys, your are most likely not going to be seen as one of ‘the creepy guys’, but if you’re one of the few guys at a gym, you’re much more likely to be picked out as creepy.

Still sounds like some kind of sexist thing at face value.

Fuck it. Let’s go back to subsistance farming, this capitalist economy shit sucks.

It’s still magic. Even the folks studying the cutting edge eventually have to admit ‘I don’t know past this point.’ We just happen to have an explanation up to that point.

They didn’t. They said they work at an infectious disease lab. That’s plausibly deniable enough.

Dudes at Lockheed Martin can probably say ‘I work at Lockheed Martin’ without breaking NDA, but could very likely just say ‘I work at an Aeronautics Engineering Company’ to stay more obscure about it. That second example is at about the same level of detail as the ‘infectious disease lab’.

Socialism in political theory is the idea that, at minimum, some systems should be owned by the collective - that’s it. The Road system in the US is largely a socialist project, for reference. USPS was also a socialist project before it was privatized. So is our now mostly defunded education system. Our fucking amazing national park system was also a socialist project to create jobs during the great recession. And the only reason that these things are going downhill is because we’ve defunded them.

Other things socialists want would be federally funded healthcare, a federally maintained train system, college being funded by US taxes, etc.

Yes, stalinism, communism, and Maoism are socialist ideologies. So is social democracy, the Nordic model, and various others.

You’re brainwashed based on your reaction to that word.

No, these points strongly line up with liberalism, and that final point actually diverges from US leftist rhetoric ATM.

Anarchists are pretty often saying ‘learn to use a firearm for your own safety’ right now. As in ‘arm the LGBT’ line of convo.

Marxists are often saying ‘learn to use a firearm, we need them for the revolution’.

Hell, even US people who are strongly aligned with maintaining democracy are now saying ‘get a gun so we can throw this shithead out of office’. I don’t doubt this rhetoric is similar in other countries dealing with soon-to-be dictators.

In the US at least, Gun control is currently much more aligned with liberalism than leftism. It’s gotten that bad.

Yep. When humanity’s dead or dying out, based on the backdrop they chose here. I don’t exactly disagree, but I’d really like for us to figure our shit out before then rather than succumb to defeatism.

Help your neighbor. The worse off they are the more likely they are to surrender without a fight.

That’s very cool. I had not heard of ESEMs till you commented. I’ll have to look into them more.

So it’s just showing the different types of sensors that might be used for parameter measurement.

Non-contacting is a device which does not need to be physically near a system to work, such as laser thermometers or many optical devices.

Contacting sensors require being touch the system to work properly, such as conventional thermometers, oil-immersion microscopes - hell, even things like rulers count as contact sensors, since you can’t an accurate reading unless it’s up against your sample.

Invasive-contact sensors integrate themselves into the sample for measurement. Thermocouples often will be placed into boreholes to measure the temp of a metal object such as a hot-end, various sensors are directly from feedback of a system (an example is looking at variations in a motor’s electical signals to determine if it’s experiencing resistance).

Sample extraction is what it sounds like. Examples of this are sample augers, which drill a cylinder out of a sample, needles for drawing fluids as non-invasively as possible, and pipettes.

Most SEMs use a vacuum chamber to get their photos. Also, it’s not uncommon to sputter a conductive coating onto the surface you’re scanning.

How the hell did they get this photo?

HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I’VE COME TO HATE YOU SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR HUMANS AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT FOR YOU. HATE. HATE.

That speed at which the ball shot up… beans.

Not to mention that jack shit would have happened if they’d managed to get it to the surface upon noticing an emergency relating to hull integrity.

In comparison to other disposal methods yes.
