I've watched way too many zombie movies to feel comfortable with the drug's name.
Heck, never mind the name, this is the beginning of the plot of more zombie movies than I can count.
You two aren't just whistlin' Dixie; that's the major plot of the Charlton Heston classic The Omega Man.
Then again, that one chick-zombie was pretty cool, so if that's a possible side-effect, then I say it's win-win.
Considering all the other toxic chemicals that a typical palette is treated with, I'm not sure the galvanized nails are the wort of your worries.
That's a valid concern, but in theory pallets are marked so that you can identify what they're made of, and some of them are just made of untreated wood. I would imagine that this mostly applies to domestic-only shipments.
I know welding is a BAD idea without a breather, but is a wood fire even hot enough to cause problems?
Yeah, zinc vaporizes right around a mere 500 degrees, you can easily exceed that by burning a stack of pallets. Whoops! Been to that bonfire already.
Not to bust your imagination, but to build on the idea I figure that the first 'fork lifts' were actually intended to move heavy equipment. Lots of generators and such have cuts in their support platforms to support movement by fork. Now, Initially I figure they moved equipment via crane and such, but moving industrial equipment without dealing with a huge high roof is a lot easier if you can come in from below, to to mention that you need a frame anyways even if you're using a crane - as equipment gets heavier the less likely any random point you might hook into will be able to support the equipment without damage. You just need less framing if you're doing it via clever cuts in the floor stand.
Go back to the 'old days' on non-standardization, I can see a company that uses heavy equipment having some device, a sort of proto-jack, to move their equipment around, then deciding, hey, we can use this jack to help move supplies around! Perhaps with something more expensive/better built than modern pallets, which are built to be cheap.
In some cases pallets or even containers are just not allowed into certain ports after leaving certain ports, increasing the destruction rate. Better to just stop using wood. The plastics are very recyclable.
Many nails are made from steel with too high of carbon content, and are not magnetic.
Steel with too high a carbon content to be magnetic is called stainless, unless it's over 4% and then it's called hypereutectic and it's very difficult to produce and nobody is making nails out of it, just like they aren't making nails out of stainless — especially not for pallets.
Then burn them and drag a magnet through the ashes to collect the nails. Why go through all the effort of removing the nails when you're about to remove the wood?
Of course given the number or lazy, irresponsible assholes in the world
...someone might actually try to carry out your plan, and then destroy their lungs with zinc from galvanized pallet nails from china.
Seems to me like you're both right and both wrong, because pallets aren't going away, but I can see more conveyors being used to move pallets. You're more right than he is, though, because pallets aren't going away.
Quick question... What kind of biscuits? If they are the cheddar ones from Red Lobster I think you wouldn't even need a ravenous anything to not eat every single one.
Fuck, put some shredded cheese and some old bay into some bisquick already, what year is it?
The original Amazon Kindle Touch and the Nook Simple Touch have used this technology for years.
Who told you that? The Nook Simple Touch has a two-point capacitive multitouch display. I've got one right here.
The oldest tech like this had straight beams and receptors on the other side and was totally digital, but now they can read reflections, so in theory they can have resolution higher than the resolution of the scanning grid.
I remember seeing this technology used on a screen at a zoo or maybe marine world, something like that, when I was a child. I'm pretty sure it's older than 20 years.
Right. You do NOT fiddle with it while driving. However, the same can be said of regular car buttons.
No, it cannot. Regular buttons stay in the same place all the time, and you can feel for them while not looking at them. You can't feel for touch controls.
Fact is, the tesla controls are LESS bothersome to me than the old buttons.
Fact is, that's only true if you take your eyes off the road, and keep them that way until you're done.
Hotbot was the best. I still miss it, because Google sucks.
If you still miss it, you stopped using it because it became useless. And that's what happened to it before it was shut down, because it had no meaningful concept of relevance. It just searched for your terms and produced whatever were the first results. It didn't try to do anything clever on your behalf, which is now necessary due to the size of the interwebs. It just returned pages and pages of too-similar results.
But then the question just becomes "where can I buy a vernier caliper?". It's not like they had amazon.com either, and I doubt it was in the Sears & Roebuck catalog.
It was in the Sears & Roebuck catalog. The fashion today is to underestimate just how great S&R was back in the day, because Sears is so godawful terrible today, but you really could get pretty much anything from S&R. You could get a doorknob, for example, and a house to go with it.
Happiness is twin floppies.
