    I dunno, but if it were Xi Jinping on there, Trudeau's signature would be as close as possible, given how he admires their "basic dictatorship" in China.

    Imperial has the advantage of fractions. Yes it may make some things more difficult (multiply/divide) but you can actually divide TWICE without going into fractions, whereas metric... no. Metric just lines up with our number system. In other number systems, other systems of measurement kind...

    Pez, there have been legal cases by shareholders that sue boards and/or CEOs because they don't take their Fiduciary Duty seriously. And they WIN. The law is structured that way. The law can't compel you to break the law (IANAL, but pretty sure that'd be stupid), but anything and everything...

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiduciary aka: Fiduciary responsibility, or Fiduciary Duty. The only reason to have "good" behavior is if reputation drives more business and money to you. Otherwise, fuck it. Anything else you're told about corporations is an outright lie IMO. It's all a means...

    Talked with my friend, and she recommended you look at this: https://docplayer.net/23837746-Chapter-6-the-iso-system-of-limits-and-fits-tolerances-and-deviations.html Table 6-1 describes the kind of fit you want between your pieces. Table 6-2 describes what tolerances you need. The quick...

    I have a friend here who is also godly with tolerances and such (it's literally one of the things she does as part of her job designing/prototyping parts), so if those two pieces are meant to fit together, she'll tell us if they will, and/or the right way to print them so that they will (with...

    Oh I agree with that. Pretty stupid tweet to respond to, or if you're going to, the way he did is bad.

    Willing to share the files? I have a resin printer here at work that has lots of downtime, and that they let us use for personal stuff as long as it's not nuts amounts of material used. It has really high resolution too.

    I think it's much simpler than either explanation: he doesn't believe that if somebody has an issue, that somebody else should be forced to help pay for it (taxes). Taxation should be for obviously collective good only (justice, defense, few other things) and nothing more. The indirect effects...

    @PatrThom you point out one of the large reasons IMO why Corporations have been able to pervert Western Democracy in so many ways: they weren't accounted for when the structures of such were setup. The power of such an entity was not predicted, hence why there was a lot more effort on dealing...

    IIRC you're only prohibited from dealing with someone/thing if you were discriminating on protected grounds (race, sex, a few others). If you're saying "I don't like you because you did X that's unrelated to my business with you" then you're perfectly within your rights to refuse service...

    This has shades of the "I am rich" app from years ago.

    [MMO] Final Fantasy XIV (we get to be cats!)

    The very first time I went into PotD I went in solo. All you have to do is have a blank save, and say "fixed party" (not matched, and obviously don't be grouped) and you can go in solo. I doubt you'll survive to 50 though with most classes if your weapons/armor are at level 1 as well.

    [MMO] Final Fantasy XIV (we get to be cats!)

    It has more to do with your weapon/armor level in there than how deep you've gotten with other people IMO (and your class). But try it out and see how it goes.

    Two leveling queues with bonuses? (maybe 1 if you get a high level dungeon) Or a couple of runs of Heaven on High. Doesn't seem to be that bad. You'll get there!

    [MMO] Final Fantasy XIV (we get to be cats!)

    The current Mendacity & Genesis gear will probably become available for poetics come expansion time (or at least that's how it's worked before). Also, depending on where the gear is, it may be challenging to find the "new bought" gear to skip over all of that. For example, you can't get the...

    On some level I'm glad I have no idea what that word even means. I'm sure I could look it up, but I really don't need to given the context.

    You just said get all to 15, then drop stuff on there that's from level 50? And what's useful to get to 15? And why? That's what I mean.

    You're still on NPC stuff until at least 25, but after that some beast I'm sure. Either way though, the Ixal is great if you aren't using your daily beast tribe allowances for something else. That's helped progress me more than Leves did (at least so far). Thanks for the link though, I've...
