Also don't limit your imagination to recipes. People googling car check engine codes will be recommended <paid advertiser> parts from <paid advertiser> websites which can helpfully be installed by <paid service center> nearby. I fear searching is going to get much uglier/noisier than it already is.

User: Bing, how do I make a cake?

Bing: Start with 2 cups flour - be sure to use King Arthur premium baking flour for a proper batter - then get 1 cup sugar...

step 1) acquire the stockpile of metals

step 2) set prices just low enough you drive all current mines/producers out of business

step 3) quadruple the prices. It'll take people a long time to spin up new mines and refineries. For bonus profits spend some of your monopoly money on lobbying/regulation.

step 4) goto step 2

In solid form the risk is mitigated because there isn't enough surface area for the reaction with oxygen, it's the powder/shavings that are a concern. You can actually weld magnesium parts without it igniting.

Reading up on it a little more - it seems with enough heat solid magnesium can start a self-sustaining burn without oxygen. I wish I could find a laymans explanation of the difference between oxygen fueled magnesium powder fire and self sustaining. Must take an awful lot of heat if a welding arc isn't hot enough to cause this.

Edit: Also think of steel wool and how well it burns, but a block of steel not so much.

At this point I consider it spam unless it says "has enabled", "have produced", or gives some already achieved numbers.

In the US metrology is a specific field dealing with measurement, often the department dealing with high precision calibrating/measuring tools in the metal machining industry.

Dragonlink, Crossfire, or something else?

Source: I mixed up about 20 gallons of various brands/ratios last year.

I've been quite impressed with the few of their commercial items I have. The important parts are metal, and clearly a lot of though went into design (things like the blender jar being designed so there's nowhere for water to pool after you wash and set it upside down). The only unimpressive thing is the price.

Is that accurate that over half the force is lost? As the helix angle gets lower wouldn't more force be transferred to the screw instead of the supports? I'm no mechanical engineer but my gut says 45 degrees would be the point where forces are balanced between screw and support and as the helix angle decreased (to 34 degrees for example) more than half the force would be applied to the screw.

The hdcp handshake is a particularly bad mess which most manufacturers don't implement well due to a very confusing spec. My experience has been some devices start showing video right away and kill it if hdcp handshake fails, while other devices don't show video until hdcp handshake succeeds. Behavior is quite hardware dependent.

The commercial vendors like Extron (crosspoint switchers) and Crestron (digitalmedia switchers) have this figured out pretty well where switching is almost instant so it's definitely possible. I think Crestron has some technical papers out there that discuss the challenges involved.

I've had great luck with surplus HGST drives, they tend to be more reliable than Seagate.

Just because you don't follow them doesn't mean they don't exist. Plenty of ongoing IP theft cases show this is not true. This case closed a few years back that pretty much wiped out a Billion+ dollar US company: https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/chinese-company-sinovel-wind-...

Doesn't seem solved to me. Look at the trouble south america has been having with chinese trawlers doing illegal fishing and sending it back to china.
