Not terribly useful to assume supersonic airflows are occuring at sea level.

Can't imagine willingly using a tool that I assess makes my life more difficult.

But that doesn't mean that tools don't make others lives more difficult.

Missiles as a tool to do damage don't necessarily make other peoples lives easier. But it might make the lives easier of those who wish to do damage.

Technology is a tool, which can be used to make lives easier and harder.

"Every person using technology will make every other person's life easier" is not the correct interpretation of the original statement.

>they have websites

That's interesting, can you link to one?

Google's, for example, is LERS. https://lers.google.com

Upvoted. I'd hazard that--

"LERS is a system in which a verified law enforcement agent can securely submit a legal request for user data, view the status of the submitted request, and download the response submitted by Google.

If you are a sworn law enforcement agent or other government official who is authorized to issue legal process in connection with an official investigation, you may submit your request through this system."

--is not the height of transparency, though.

In France, https://www.internet-signalement.gouv.fr/PharosS1/ .

This appears to be for private citizens to report illegal content?

I need to see some data on this.

There have been significant improvements in structure fireproofing and firefighting in the past 2071 years.

Is there another noteworthy rocket strike in the vicinity of Al Shifa hospital that the comment you replied to might have been referencing?

>an angst that could otherwise be channeled more appropriately

Sincerely, you might be on to something here.

Soldering crimp connectors (that are not otherwise designed for it) will reduce the flexibility of the wire and introduce stress concentrations. Those stress concentrations will reduce the fatigue life of the harness.

I've been under the impression that soldering crimped connections was a general no-no as well, since it doesn't actually help a good crimp with cold welds, and does make any stranded wire more likely to break where the solder stops.

I've studied this a little since it effects my work, but I don't claim to be an EE. Sadly, I'm not finding any definitive authorities on the subject with a quick googling, though all the top hits tend to agree with the sentiment of not soldering crimped connections.

This was a short article that I ran across, dealing with the topic. As usual, the comments on hackaday are all over the place, but I still find them useful.

Interestingly, I thought nasa banned soldering crimped connections, but as far as I can tell, rereading this doc now with a quick skim for the string crimp, they only ban crimping tinned connections.

As I mentioned, the wire needs to be properly supported, then there won't be any stress risers. I've never had one crack and fail on me.

Well, I can't argue with that.
