He forcibly shook hands with people in a disaster area? He went on holiday during a national crisis? Somebody had to explain to him why rape is bad? He surreptitiously appointed himself to every office in the land? He nearly blinded himself by flipping his helmet up whilst arc-welding for the cameras?
I know! I know! Did he fondle coal at the Opposition during Question Time?

Another day, another of the little one's things repaired with a hot air tool and a bit of poking.
So many people assume broken plastic is unrepairable garbage because it's hard to glue.
But if it's a thermoplastic, as almost all mass market plastic goods are, all you need to do is gently heat up the pieces until they soften and push them back together to form a solid weld. Filler rod can help in some cases but isn't always necessary or useful depending on the natu…

I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with a team of such ingenious, innovative, creative, and deeply caring people who have been unwavering in their dedication to enriching the lives of our customers and creating the best products and services in the world
This probably explain why they weld the batteries and are the leaders in planned obsolescence!

Marthe heeft groot gelijk.
Waar giften nu soms vooral afhankelijk zijn van enkele rijke donateurs, moet dat veel meer heel anders georganiseerd worden.
Het mag niet zo zijn dat enkele 'weldoeners' bepalen welke partijen alle exposure krijgen bij verkiezingen.

i was vaguely aware that TWI exists but i didn’t know what high-tech welding research entailed
it’s a big step up from typical youtube metalwork, wow

do you think transgender robots have discourse between those that choose to modify their robot bodies and those who choose to transfer their brain-drives into a completely new robot body
"no you don't get it, I *like* the visible welding marks, it shows closeted bots that it's safe to be yourself!"

#SmallWinButItsAllIGot I opened this packaging with my bare hands, clearly I am ready to take on a grizzly bear.
(I bent it in half across the top, then flexed it back and forth as fast as I could, thinking that if I could put enough heat into the bend it would weaken the plastic. I don't know if I generated that much heat. But it did weaken.)
