Comment Re:All copper is "oxygen-free" (Score 2) 55

Have you ever seen a shiny new penny versus an old tarnished one? Or the Statue of Liberty? Or an old building with one of those weird green roofs?

They're all copper, with varying amounts of oxygen. Oxygen free copper is expensive copper that's specially made to get rid of as much of the oxygen as possible: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

If the article got something so simple as THIS completely wrong, one can easily presume that the REST of the article is incorrect gibberish.

You can of course have it delivered to your door as well. If you can't receive it at home, as is the case being discussed in this thread, then you can have something delivered to a locker. When you go to pick it up you tell Amazon you're there and they pop open the correct door.

I don't care what their race or sex is. I'm concerned about their age, religion, and views on war crimes and slavery.

We know Obama did war crimes because he told us about them. That's how brazen the servants of the MIC have become. (inb4 I get accused of racism this time: We know Trump does more drone strikes without due process than Obama did, because until Trump rescinded Obama's EO on reporting of such strikes, he was doing four times as many of them.)

We've all seen it where openly partisan writers or directors, especially Netflix and Disney, incorporate their politics into their movies or shows and destroy their essence in the process

LOTR is about freedom vs oppression, had not just strong but powerful female characters from the get-go, and the morals are about ordinary people defeating evil by being true to their fellowship. It's woke AF from start to finish.

You know full well that while it deviated from the books in some minor and a couple of major, ways (they did our boy Tom Bombadil wrong)

They only left him out, they did much worse to Faramir.

Tom Bombadil was important to the books, to give a certain feeling. But not so much to the movies, which felt epic enough without him.

Which means the only way to delete the posts is to go through each one by one.
And what are the chances that a repetitive task like that is going to be seen as "bot like" behavior? 100%?

I would assume it's very high, but you could do it in a way that would be less likely to trip the detectors by adding randomness and doing it over a long period. If one starts now, one probably has plenty of time to get it done.
