The first religions were generally flavors of animism.

Radioactive contamination is basically a non concern. Potential massive climatic effects and logistics collapse on the other hand, are.

A recall is a bit more severe than am update. Common, but not simply pushing out a software update they couldve done wirelessly.

It means they have been regulated for a severe safety defect and are being forced to do this.

Chest compressions >> new air

Get a second person to help on breathing

Get a third to make trading roles easier.

It helps, but also the lack of e2ee is a pretty hard sell..

The details are literally women being objectified, and blackface. You have intentionally chosen to not read words to... What exactly are you trying to achieve here? Actually read the post and the comment you have responded to and think deeply about your rhetoric and the meaning and time you chose to dedicate.

People should really read the article. It feels like I'm reading broken records in these discussions because people take a headline, refuse to read what the article has to say, and then say "but what about x?" When the article has a section literally dedicated to say, how social media can contribute to rising violence in the presence of easy gun access. Like that's literally a component of the thesis here.

This isn't how it works at all. I can, and should, and do, read and consume all sorts of media with the intention of stealing from it for my own works. If you ask for writing advice, this is actually probably one of the first things you'll hear: read how other people do it.

So this does not work as an argument, "the intent of the reading" because if so humans could never generate any new media either.

Fiber composites are complex. Carbon fibers can be made to withstand compressive loads in that you make composites with the CF and other materials. Even so carbon fibers are about half as strong in compression as tension. Even so, carbon fiber might have a specific strength of around 3000 kN-m/kg, steels might be around 63 kN-m/kg. So it's not as simple as "carbon fiber isn't as good in compression as tension, never use it in compression." A lot of current research in aerospace is to produce better manufacturing methods and resins for carbon fibers to phase out aluminum and steel parts. Mostly in tension yes, but compression too, all parts without preloading generally are some degree in compression during their stress lives.

Should he have bought expired carbon fiber for a submarine? No. Is carbon fiber completely absurd in submarine usage? I don't imagine so. Though steel is plenty fine for a submarine, normally the hard part is the sinking by design, not the floating, so weight savings aren't super important.
