These dudes hang out in my shed and scare the shit our of me when they suddenly blast off.

Shrodingers law is the goal of therapy

Between 35 and 51.if we assume a reasonable stacking technique for stability, every box not on top can be supported on 3 sides at 40.

We also don't know that every box is the same size. With that format screw it could be as low as 21.

This is why mechanical diagrams include an isometric view and xray lines.

Edit: I see now it specifies cubes, so the number couldn't be 21, but it could still be less than 35. I'm not figuring that one out.

Also why can't you see the trailer in the top view when it protrudes on the sides?

She looks so weird in this picture I thought it was a screenshot from the game.

A damn fine roast you threw together there

Looks like a sick new risk of rain character

Yeah. Also it's full of beans.

My main office has 8 employees. We clean our own place. If you need a cleaner, hire one. If you're not big enough to support that, clean it yourself. Maybe you need phones answered, hire someone that can clean when they're not on the phone.

If you needed to have a composer, they become part of your team, or you buy music from them. The composer wouldn't be a contractor from a company, but rather somene who produces their own art and can sell it as they see fit, or they work on the payroll for the project. This not only gives more power to creators, but cuts out every leech middleman driving up prices and lowering average wages. Mass communication through the internet has killed the necessity for giant advertising firms to get your name out there.

For franchises, I would argue anyone running a McDonalds works for McDonalds. Hit that cap of 2500, and suddenly there's room for competition and innovation, instead of a sea of the same trash everywhere you go.

Easy laws that could stop this bullshit:

  1. A company can't own other companies.

  2. A company cannot have more than 2500 employees.

  3. A company cannot employ contractors, outside or temporary workers numbering more than 10% of it's total work force.

No mega corporations, no buying out competition, no loopholes to employment standards.

Edit; forgot a main one

  1. The highest paid individual cannot make more than 40x the lowest paid employee.

No c suite billionaires avoiding paying the workers.

Well if we could get 44 million of these going 24/7 we could counteract the ice caps in Greenland melting.

Ah, got it. I'm pretty focused on lenses just due to my day to day.

Polycarbonate has one of the lowest ABBE values of any of the optically used plastics, so it scatters light pretty badly the thicker it is. As compared to eyeglasses, telescope lenses are really thick, so the poor light transmission would ruin the clarity. On top of that, poly expands a lot under heat, and so any coatings on the lenses will eventually start to craze and delaminate. Glasses don't need to last more than 5 years before being replaced, so it's not as big of a deal. If your telescope became unusable in that time, you'd be furious.

Poly, while being impact resistant, is not nearly as scratch resistant as glass, and is nowhere near as chemically stable. Didn't realize there was dirt on your cleaning cloth? Ruined scope. Cleaned it with regular window cleaner? Ruined scope.

There are other resins that would be better, but nothing nearly as simple and durable as glass comes close to the optical clarity.

Eyeglasses would still be made from glass if they weren't so heavy and potentially dangerous, Not to ignore that nobody wants to wait two months for custom lenses to be made.
