That Youtuber never even mentioned the best reason to continue building laboratories in space. There are amazing exotic materials being discovered that can only be produced in microgravity.
Microgravity Materials Research[^]
Exotic Optical Fibers and Glasses[^]
ZBLAN[^] is an example of a material that could potentially revolutionize optical data transmission. Photonic processors will probably need to be manufactured in microgravity.
My understanding is that materials with a perfect crystal structure have unusual properties not found in terrestrial atomic lattices. Materials produced naturally here on Earth almost alway have atomic defects[^].

Well, to be fair...
1] you can always argue that someone forget that one particular thing you were thinking of... it was not an exhaustive argument... it was, in fact, a higher level argument btw.
2] he did mention that... 2 years ago...

My intentions were to spark a discussion about microgravity materials science. Not sure why you focused on the only sentence that gave you a road to conflict.
Would you like to discuss any of the four amazing science oriented links instead? I find that material science is the most important aspect of space exploration.

Interesting stuff there David thanks for posting

Even when this video was made, the US military budget (DoD, Dept of Energy, State, including foreign aid) was smaller than the US welfare programs. People go after the military budget because it's easy to do so when they really should be going after the pork that's embedded in social welfare programs.

Never heard that, but would make sense, since the military is part of the US welfare strategy, perhaps?
I dunno, just a thought.

Congratulations !
With deep appreciation for all of you, and, deepest appreciation for OriginalGriff, Richard Deeming, and Richard MacCutchan, who, imho, set the standards on QA forums for patience with new, confused, seekers-after-whatever, and, for the highest quality technical responses/solutions explained articulately.
A privilege to be among you, to learn from you !

Here’s the truth about the crypto miner that comes with Norton Antivirus

OMG. That should be a felony offense.

It's probably a lesser offence than preinstalling Norton on a computer you sell ...

I was going to say "Define tool", but it seems that you beat me to it.
EDIT: Now that Windows Defender is as good as these anti-virus programs, they're getting desperate and have become crapware, or bloatware at best.

Link /is/ on msn. Just saying.

Probably a coincidence. I was going by independent reviews. I previously used Norton and later McAfee, but have only used Windows Defender, without any problems, for a couple of years now.
Not to say that msn.com doesn't have problems. I never use it myself.

For me, it was a Commando[^]
The one in the pictures isn't original, it has earlier reverse code megas rather than the annular discharge ones they came with.
Fitting reverse cones was very common in those days as the "black cap" silencers were very quiet and reduced power. Both of mine had reverse cones and quiet was not even close to an accurate description!

How the freaking hell is someone a tool because of the actions of a company they sold more than thirty years ago? Exactly HOW?
