I just watched a video of an interview with an FBI agent. That was literally what white supremicists say. “Do you support fascism? No? Then you’re antifa”

7·2 months agoI feel bad for the scientists and I can’t imagine the pain. Forced to “put down” your life’s work for the greater good. Or have it become dangerous through negligence or weaponization.
It’s why we have the nobel prize
Who’s going to stop them? The government?
demand a jury trial
Yeah Jury trials aren’t common in dictatorships

Okay, so conversion or unjust enrichment instead of literal theft.

IR drop losses happen because a wire has resistance, it isn’t a perfect conductor. 28AWG wire has about 0.22ohm/m. Given a 2 meter cable, you might expect to see 0.44ohm one-way. Current is also travelling back, so the circuit “sees” another 0.44ohm. That’s a total of 0.88ohm
A wire will cause voltage drop following ohm’s law. V=I/*R. So for 1A of current, you will see 0.88V lost.
Say you’re trying to charge at 15W (5V 3A), your phone is only going to ‘see’ 2.36 volts, and 7.9W are wasted in the cable.
For a 100W device (20V, 5A), 4.4V are lost, also meaning 22W are wasted.
The concentration of them is rising exponentially, that’s the part that terrifies me.
It’s possible we just haven’t crossed a threshold yet.
And formula fed
They’re everywhere, i’m not sure that’s even physically possible.
I’m with you, it’s so fucked. And every time we lose manufacturing, we lose everything else. Engineering, sourcing, quality, follows manufacturing.
Ya because the tarriffs mean that a device already sold LOSES money to fulfil. Medical devices already don’t have great margins…

Bro mocking the unstable guy holding a gun for being chicken sounds like a good way to get shot
Oh i’m sure it will
PTFE and some others are considered chemically inert. Other PFAS are mostly chemically inert.
Carbon-fluorine bonds are extremely strong. If these weren’t mostly chemically inert, they wouldn’t be “forever” chemicals. They would readily degrade and it wouldn’t be an issue.
