Yep and a lot of wire. Nice cut though.

If I were building them I'd CNC cut the outside on a 5-axis mill. There is plenty of support material with no deflection. Then wire EDM the inside out. No cutting forces.

It looks like those wheels have a Type III Anodizing. That's pretty wear resistant. You are talking about TiN coating on steel or carbide cutters. There is a bid difference. This doesn't look like wear but puncture damage. A coating isn't going to protect against that.

Restricting someones freedom to travel is kidnapping not a protest.

The offering price at the time of the trade is the only objective measruement. Someone can say they value their grandmothers antique more than anything because of it's sentimental value. But you don't know that for sure until someone actually offeres them cash for it.

Of course. But we are talking about at the time of the exchange.

Not a bad way to look at it but the volume most HFT deal with will affect the price. The HFT (when it works) should tend to filter out spikes.

All value is subjective anyway which is why often it doesn't make sense. I don't understand why people get tattooed. You would have to pay me quite a bit of money to get one.
And yet some people spend fortunes on them.
To me it makes no sense.

Speculators still value the prospect of future gains over the cash they give in the trade.

Both parties in a trade value what they are getting more than what they give. The person selling the item values the cash higher than the item. The person buying values the item higher than the cash. The price is where the exchange takes place where both parties value what they get more.

If I was in a bathroom you have the pressumption of privacy which is why you went in there in the first place. If I was taking a leak on the 5th green at the local golf course and you took a picture obviously not. If you were a friend and I posed for a picture taking a leak I also don't have a pressumption of privacy. That is why I asked were the pictures taken legally or not.

I don't see why blackmail should be illegal either. Extortion typically involves the threat of violence so I can see why that would be illegal.

Let's say you have an embassaing picture of a politician or celebrity in which it would damage their reputation. What is the difference if I offer to sell it to TMZ or to the celebrity?

I am making the assumption the photos were taken legality and not by trespassing or some illegal means. If this is the case why is this illegal?

You know nothing about my diet. I told you what I restricted my intake to include but not the proportions. I drink 30 g of saturated fat a day as heavy cream in coffee. I eat eggs cooked in bacon drippings, butter, or coconut oil. I'll have full fat yogurt for snacks. And lots of meat and veggies and root starches cooked in butter or olive oil. For the past two years the majority of my calories have been from fat and mostly saturated. I've gone from obese to normal weight which is pretty hard for a 40 year old guy. All with only moderate exercise (15 min high intensity classes 3 times a week.

For 20 years I was following the low fat BS and it left me in horrible shape.

Oh hell yeah butter coffe. I drink 2 pints of Heavy Cream a week in my coffee.

Try this one. Get a good cocoa powder (just cocoa nothing else). Then get some coconut oil. Put the oil and cocoa powder in a pan or in the microwave and disolve the cocoa powder. Now add that to coffee and blend. It is awesome.
