What attracted Sigourney Weaver to the character of Ripley
Furiosa got the advantage because I'd rank Mad Max Fury Road much higher than Æon Flux The Movie. Even though I like Æon more than most critics, that movie's not distinct (dystopian?) enough.
But I'm biased as I saw the original animated series first and it was objectively far superior - very arthouse experimental in its day for an American production. Æon is the movie is just the stock ass-kicking comic heroine in the DC/Marvel vein. Æon in the animated series & the latter comics is something... far more interesting.
What about Aeon Flux?
What attracted Sigourney Weaver to the character of Ripley
What about Aeon Flux?
While there are lots of femme fatales throughout cinema history, Sigourney Weaver & Linda Hamilton in T2 were the Sci Fi heroine extraordinaires that are still hard to beat to this day IMO. Theron's Furiosa probably deserves to occupy the #3 spot on the tough-as-nails female roles.
How Women Are Written In Sci-Fi Movies
*90s.
i would say aeon flux is also an exception for precisely the reasons you gave. it was also wildly outside the norms at the time and now.
The animated Tv show from the 80's, of course. The movie was a disappointment.
I mention it because Aeon, the female scientist/superspy/clone, is capable of doing her job and being nice....at least nice to those not trying to kill her. Capable of being impossibly good at her job and being a loving, caring partner. Capable of unraveling the labyrinthine, convoluted, outrageously sci-fi conspiracies while wearing heels and latex and looking sexy as Hell doing it.
If Ripley is the exception to the rule, what is Aeon, who ignores all these rules?
How Women Are Written In Sci-Fi Movies
the niche TV show or the terrible movie that is it's own trope? (aeon flux, ultraviolet, atomic blonde, lucy, GitS (the shitty scar jo one), resident evil, anna...)

the exception proves the rule, so to speak. also, these cliches largely came after alien/aliens.
The newest “pentagon confirmed” UFO is Bokeh effect
Well, there are plenty of fat & protein in us humans to harvest and feed into their flux capacitors.
Joke's on them. We aren't leaving them much.

A lifetime spent working with brass
The cradle I'm not certain, but it's likely some flux holding cage that cleans the surface of any contaminants when heated. (Seems like it's probably a boric acid cleaner judging by the bluing video) The tray holds brass shavings and uses heat to blue the parts. The shavings make it a more even heat treatment for more uniform color than a bare torch or oven can produce. The color he achieves is astounding.
I found this video of him making the bluing tray here....

And a great video of him explaining the bluing process here....

Anyone know what's happening from about 1:25 - 1:50? I get the polishing part, but what's with firing it in that weird cradle? What makes it turn blue?
Why SpaceX Built A Stainless Steel Starship
Thanks to the stainless steel construction, flux dispersal is generated at an optimum level from the Flux Capacitor, providing the entire vehicle and its passengers a smooth passage through the space-time continuum during temporal displacement.
3D Printing Stainless Steel with Giant Robot Arms
Flux core would remove any slight oxidation between deposits on a continuous weld, or a media blast nozzle in front of the weld zone.
I agree with you if they intend to use it for load bearing structures, but it wouldn't be difficult. Just a loose seal around the work area and positive gas flow keeping oxygen out, problem solved.
The downside I see is cost. It's expensive to 'make metal' with a mig....or any welder. Electrodes/wire aren't cheap, and then there's the electricity. Bending or milling sheets, castings, or blocks is almost always going to be cheaper. This will be useful for designs that require complex interior shapes impossible to do conventionally, but not much else, imo.
There has to be a downside to weld-additive construction. They'd have to do this in a vacuum or inert gas filled chamber to avoid oxidisation between layers.
I know you can't weld aluminium like this. Aluminium Oxide has a much higher melting point than aluminium, which is the main point of failure with aluminium welding.
Removing rusted nuts using a candle and a lighter
From what I've read when you heat up the nut from the bottom and drip/hold the candle on top the heat kind of wicks the wax into the threads, the same way that solder/flux wicks when soldering copper.
Just make sure to clean all the wax off when putting the nut back on or it will vibrate loose.
Brian Cox refutes claims of climate change denier on Q&A
alcom says...
@kingmob The right-wing conspiracy of convenience says that the data has been adjusted to heighten the urgency and panic and perpetuate their scientific fraud. This is a misunderstanding of flux adjustments that used to be made to climate models in the 90's and early in the 00's:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_circulation_model#Flux_buffering
Recent improvements in modelling equations mean that they no longer rely on flux adjustments, but hearing that they had to made adjustments at all sounds sketch.
Because the "hockey-stick" model was an overshoot based on the peak in 1998, deniers tend to either:
a) Argue that the "warming hiatus" between 1998 and 2013 disproves AGW theory. This fallacy disproved itself in the last 2+ years as global surface and ocean temperatures have exceeded the 1998 record year on year.
or:
b) Attempt to discredit scientists arguing that their own funding depends on the alarming data that they publish. Far-right conservatives continue to demonize scientists as a cabal of billionaires working in concert to sway public opinion. If that was true, then the whole hiatus period sure didn't help their cause, but the graph hasn't moved.
This is sound science, and denialism is collapsing under the weight of its own bullshit. At the time of posting, NOAA said that July 2016 also marked the 15th consecutive warmest month on record for the globe. That is the longest stretch of months in a row that a global temperature record has been set in their dataset.
and people like this are in charge of things...
NASA is corrupting the data.
Ummm MOTIVE?

Genius Design Transforms Venue From Seated To Open Floor
Ha! We need more of this: Architecture as Machine! So tired of Architecture as Object.
My senior thesis was to design a "multi-nodal theater" in San Francisco. It was in the form of a hyper cube, always in a state of flux, as stages and seating shifted and moved into new configurations.

*wtf
Animation style reminds me of the old MTV animation Aeon Flux.
