  • You can’t start a strike if you don’t have a union and your co-workers don’t agree

    This is a major point that those outside of the US seem to miss, I think. The sheer depth of contempt for unions and unionization I've experienced is a massive barrier to organizing any significant resistance. I'm very certain a majority of US citizens are unaware of what a general strike even looks like. Corporate propaganda has very successfully vilified and diminished unions for a long time.

  • "A few years"

    The movie is a decade old and the novel is nearly a legal adult. I'm already feeling attacked and I haven't even broken my fast.

  • Time for some pretty easy math; if 93,000,000 scans cause 103,000 cancer diagnoses, what percentage of scans cause cancer?

    Its 0.11%. Each scan has a 0.11% chance of causing cancer. Thats slighty more than a 1 in 1000 chance for each scan.

    Now, 93000000 and 103000 look like large scary numbers but when you're comparing populations every number is likely to be large and scary. The absolute magnitude is meaningless; the important information lies in their proportion.

  • That sounds super interesting but I can imagine there's at least an NDA involved.

  • What was the context of your project? I'm a mechanical engineer interested in pursuing research into climate change mitigation, although I haven't started looking into it yet.

  • My only complaint about the textbook is needing to scale every recipe down to half or even a quarter. While I would love to bake a whole sheet of brownies my roommates and girlfriend already complain about the amount of delicious carbs I throw their way!

  • Depends on how much effort went into reverse engineering the part, but most likely when tolerancing enters the conversation. Most machine shops aren't able to hit those tolerances and would laugh you out of the shop.

    A shop that can hit those tolerances will kick you out of the shop; there's a good chance they already work in aerospace. They have a deeply vested interest in avoiding the accompanying FAA inquiry should it be installed or, Satan forbid, actually flown.

    A non-aerospace shop capable of meeting those tolerances would start laughing at the desired price point. Purchasing a suitable blank alone would cost over $1500, much less cover the actual machining.

  • Aerospace manufacturing is fucking wild and is a rabbit hole worth diving into if you're looking for some of the finest engineering porn humankind has to offer.

  • If an aerospace engineer made one of these he would no longer be an aerospace engineer.

    Everything else you said is correct.

  • Aerospace manufacturing has a paper trail longer than you can imagine. The company selling this part can tell you (well, the FAA) the exact ingot out of the foundry and every single process and every person who has touched it since then.

    No machine shop will take this job; the moment this guy is unable to produce a serial number and paperwork from an approved manufacturer (likely during preflight if not installation) the FAA will track down the owner of said shop. At best that owner will lose their business and pay a massive fine, at worst spend a good long time in prison.

    The FAA doesn't fuck around and for that I am thankful.
