didn't realize it was that durable

Well tungsten is fairly brittle because of its extreme hardness.

When used as jewelry polishing it is virtually unnecessary because ordinary materials cannot scratch it.

It is used as a substitute for U238 depleted uranium in armor piercing projectiles.

nice

The primary utility og tungsten carbide is tool tips,

Yes.

Some day I will own an awesome tungsten pencil. Even if I have to make it myself 🤓

A charging handle made of tungsten is a strange choice.

I've heard of tungsten filled buffers before.

I want tacos

Nothing like talk of heavy metals to make someone crave tacos

I just ate a ton of chinese food. I'll have to wait an hour before I can even think about tacos.

@C1PHER I think its because of the cheap mexican labor that is working on my roof right now

(I live in an apartment complex, I didnt hire them)

oh god

i'd never heard it until now
Greta's speech is so cringe

how dare you

Bless

how dare you sir
how absolutely dare you

It's horifying. I can't do it.

I try to hear people out, but I have limits

eat more chinese food?

lel

I've only heard the bit that's been memed to oblivion

but goddamn even that is too much

I don't even know if she said more than the meme bit.

Because how could that not also be memed to hell and back, considering what a performance the part we know is?

she said a lot more

but it mainly consisted of "how dare you"

I didnt even finish her speech

Too cringy

yeah

and the classic hit "people are dying"

"people are dying; women most affected"

I'm curious how you'd even calculate who dies from global warming and how many have even been claimed as such and if they're valid

it's about as bogus as the "capitalism has killed x people" calculations

like how do you determine a death is due to a regular drought or if it was made worse by climate change, seems to me it'd be unfalsifiable

because they count war as a result of capitalism

war, shortages, plagues in some cases

Like wot
