You’re describing a few decades out of almost a thousand years of feudalism, in Europe specifically, and it wasn’t ever universally true.

A lot of things contributed to that. Not the least of which is the difference between what we’d consider a day off and what they’d consider a day off. Not to mention how they paid taxes and what was actually required of the medieval peasant.

Taxes could be paid in labor or produce. The guys doing the manual labor building a castle were likely to be paying taxes. They did that for up to a third of the year. The rest of the year was theirs to do with as they pleased, and the majority of that time would have been spent growing, gathering, hunting, or maintaining. Guild artisans had the closest thing to jobs that we’d think of them. Coopers made barrels, ropers roped. You had masons and blacksmiths and carpenters sure. Most people were growing and raising food, and maintaining their home. A day off was likely spent doing those things. They had so many partially because that time was needed intermittently.

They worked harder than we do. Every part of their life was harder, required more energy, and took more time.

Taking a day off to relax would have been exceedingly rare and probably maddeningly boring. Though they did party hard.

I mean you only have to shoot to where it will be half way, moon will take care of the rest

Just banks and federal employees.

You will of course be required to be in the office that day.

It takes an excruciatingly small amount of chocolate, if you add too much it just tastes like chocolate. But it is good. Same with a touch of cinnamon. Very small amounts just to add some depth.

American, not Hungarian.

Goulash is a common food in school lunch rooms and is like a tomato and meat sauce on elbow noodles. It’s not what you’re thinking goulash is, but it’s quite good.

The US in 6 months: “fuckin watch me.”

It’s a bug with the android app.

I’ve seen it maybe 3 times in 8ish years on my phone. Never once in the TV app.

The most popular car near military bases

Yeah people just care about bread on the table and the roof over their head. Telling 150 million voting Americans to care about the world is falling on early 100 million deaf ears.

75 million don’t care, or actively dislike anybody outside the US.

Another 38 million only care as long as it’s convenient. And right now it’s not convenient.

Maybe 10-15 million are anti Republican because they’re lgbtq+.

Of the 150 million voters, 80 million are voting on a single issue. And for many of them, it’s either for or against abortion.

We’ve been supplying the West with a military for decades. We put more in to our ministry, and by extension every NATO member country’s military than the rest of NATO combined. We don’t have social programs, no healthcare, no child care, under funded education, no paid sick leave, no parental leave. We have a big shiney military.

People can’t afford to take a day off for the flu and they’re supposed to care about Europe?

Big ask mate. People here care about how they’re doing today and tomorrow. Not Ukraine 6 months from now.

You can disagree with that guy. That’s fine. But you need to understand that your attitude mirrors the attitude of the democratic party, and it literally just cost them the election.

Ignore the people who want change, assuming they’ll vote for you anyway is a great way to get them to vote for someone else.

Reform or fail.

And a Sgt Harriman for good measure.

Where my FF8 homies at tho

So it’ll be paid off sometime between the last star dying and the first black hole evaporating.

Drill bits are coated in tungsten carbide. Sometimes. There are a variety of coatings.

The drill bits you’re buying at the big box store are high speed still with some kind of coating to help them last a little longer. The specialty drill bits you’re buying for working on metal are also HSS with a different coating and probably different tip geometry.

End mills are milling/lathe inserts can be HSS or carbide, also with some tungsten coating. Importantly, these are sintered, and made out of dust.

Tungsten carbide is waaaay too brittle to work as a drill bit.

You ain’t putting it anywhere. It’s getting delivered and staying where they put it.

A single 5 foot cube of tungsten would weigh about as much as an above average sized single family home.

This is great and advisable.

But what about online only games that can be nuked whenever the publisher feels like it?

That’s extremely the aesthetic I love about cyberpunk. Sure the story in Blade Runner is great but look at all the neat shit!

On the inverse I’ve found it to be quite bad at that. I can generally count on the AI answer to be wrong, fundamentally.

Might depend on your industry. It’s garbage at g code.

My money is still on Paul Le Roux.

Head of garlic in to 2 sticks of butter on the stove, in to the potatoes when they’re ready. Skins and all.
