  • Super glue.

    Cyanocrylate adhesives were accidently discovered in WW2 while trying to develop a clear plastic. Later Eastman-Kodak held the patent and then sold it to Loctite on the 1960s.

    Loctite 404 is so much better than anything else available on the market. It bonds better, it’s stronger, it lasts longer and the bottle applicator is more controlled and easier to use. If you want it to last years, you can actually store in in the refrigerator when not being used.



  • I used to build race cars. Two guys I knew did this.

    The first one was actually a massive nerd who by day worked for some shipbuilding company that designed and made composite hulls for the Navy. It was big money with few working hours.

    The other guy owned some random worthless land in the middle of nowhere and some oil company sent him money each month for mineral rights.

    So essentially both had limitless funds for what is usually a side hobby.





  • This article seems extremely biased.

    Although making the premise of the article about helping students, this change in rules allows universities to essentially hold students captive as their visa is entirely held at the mercy of the university.

    While studying in Australia, many students work, have their families with them and try to live normal lives. They can have jobs that they depend on and kids that depend on them. By tying their visa directly to a specific university, it gives the university the power to charge what they feel like and hold over their visa as collateral.

    I had a quick look to see the background of ‘the pie’, and it is clearly an industry-funded propaganda machine who does nothing but churn out pro-industry articles.
