It wasn't stainless steel. EVERYONE knows Skynet only uses stainless steel robots.

FINE!! YOU CAN HAVE IT!!!

Wouldn't work in my workshop - stainless steel fasteners FTW!

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Would love a Stainless Steel Rat movie. Part of my youth as well.

In more SF news - looks like Forever War is being made into a movie. The bad news? Ridley Scott is directing - and he's keen to do it in 3D.

It's the delicious slurry being stirred by that giant, stainless paddle that makes these delicious nugglies seem grody~Not to worry. That chicken glop is lovingly whipped. Sinew and tendon, cartilage and growth-enhancers, feet and feathers into a flavorful wad of chickeny yum ready for the deep-fryer!


I intentionally had tendon in my dinner tonight so I'm getting a kick out of your reply. My girlfriend regularly takes my chicken bones and eats the cartilage off them. Although not my favorite we often have chicken feet at our table when we have dim sum with friends. Are you suggesting that we WASTE parts of the chicken just because you aren't used to eating them?

What material would you prefer over stainless steel that would be non reactive and easy to sanitize?

Why do you say "glop is lovingly whipped?" Don't you want uniform mixing and flavor?

Growth enhancers are not necessary. Breeds labeled as "Fryers" grow exceptionally fast eating regular old feed. I once bought a set of Ameraucanas with my fryers. They had the exact upbringing but grew three times as fast (literally).

Are you trying to spread FUD? Are you secretly on an antimeat agenda?

Impressive.
I'm especially amazed by the skip that they mostly skip over -- going from a soup of scrap metal which must contain huge amounts of impurities to a soup of stainless steel with precise makeup. Is there some sort of density based filtering?


That's the part where they add the blood of the innocents to make the metal pure.

Impressive.

After 7 minutes my mouth was dry--I realized I'd been sitting watching this with my mouth hanging open.

Google translation from the Spanish Youtube description:

Engine V-12 naval air injection hand-built craftsmanship. Perhaps it is the engine in the world smallest of this modality. It has 12 cm3 of displacement, the cylinder bore is 11.3 mm and career piston is 10 with only 0.1 mm. Works Kg/cm2. This is constructed with stainless steel, aluminum and bronze. This motor is dedicated to Patel and her 4 oldest grandchildren Sarah, Carmen, Jose and Paul.

Benefits

The combination of fast joining times (on the order of a few seconds), and direct heat input at the weld interface, yields relatively small heat-affected zones. Friction welding techniques are generally melt-free, which avoids grain growth in engineered materials, such as high-strength heat-treated steels. Another advantage is that the motion tends to "clean" the surface between the materials being welded, which means they can be joined with less preparation. During the welding process, depending on the method being used, small pieces of the plastic metal will be forced out of the working mass (flash). It is believed that the flash carries away debris and dirt.

Another advantage of friction welding is that it allows dissimilar materials to be joined. This is particularly useful in aerospace, where it is used to join lightweight aluminum stock to high-strength steels. Normally the wide difference in melting points of the two materials would make it impossible to weld using traditional techniques, and would require some sort of mechanical connection. Friction welding provides a "full strength" bond with no additional weight. Other common uses for these sorts of bi-metal joins is in the nuclear industry, where copper-steel joints are common in the reactor cooling systems; and in the transport of cryogenic fluids, where friction welding has been used to join aluminum alloys to stainless steels and high-nickel-alloy materials for cryogenic-fluid piping and containment vessels.

Friction welding is also used with thermoplastics, which act in a fashion analogous to metals under heat and pressure. The heat and pressure used on these materials is much lower than metals, but the technique can be used to join metals to plastics with the metal interface being machined. For instance, the technique can be used to join eyeglass frames to the pins in their hinges. The lower energies and pressures used allows for a wider variety of techniques to be used.

jwray: Aquafina tastes much more strongly of chlorine than my tap water. And the only states that don't add fluoride to their drinking water have a much higher rate of tooth decay.

Rubbish, plenty of countries that don't fluoridate water or salt have lower rates of tooth decay than us. There isn't even any correlation between water fluoridation and lower tooth decay among populations that regularly use fluoridated toothpaste. EPA admits the entire benefit is posteruptive and topical. There is no reason to ingest a treatment that acts topically.

>> ^direpickle:

And if you're super-terrified of chemicals, what do you think you're ingesting when you're drinking water out of plastic bottles? Haven't you noticed that the water tastes like the plastic?

I actually don't use any plastic bottles. I use glass or stainless steel for a variety of reasons:
1. More durable
2. Easier to clean (primarily due to being permanently very smooth, unlike plastic which is easily scratched)
3. Cheaper in the long run
4. Possible avoidance of BPA and other toxic chemicals that can leech out of plastic.

>> ^direpickle:

Anyway, some bottled water tastes good, but I don't buy it unless there's no free water to be had. But Aquafina and Dasani are just disgusting.

They don't really have any taste at all. I don't know what you're talking about.

Now a stainless steel rat film, that would be great
