Absolutely agree. Love the movie so much and in a world that loves incredible scales for sci-fi tech I haven't ever seen anything else like the Titans function in anything else.

That is actually a very valid reason why it wouldn't be an in use commercial product at this point.

I'm still fairly sure that can be solved but it is a much higher bar to clear especially to do so and keep it within a cost that isn't insane.

We get high power electronics in things like rockets and jets and tanks etc. so again I'm sure it is possible eventually. It could easily be a price so high that it doesn't happen without government mandates or that artificial fuels from bio or carbon capture end up still lower priced than what it takes to make the tougher electronics.

They do make induction models that are curved specifically for woks. Don't know the right places to search to see if restaurant power level models exist but don't see any electrical reason it couldn't be done.

Very good list in my opinion and definitely matches my memory from learning about Andrew Jackson in the past.

I agree that Trump is no Hitler. While by some magic the crowds at his events like him he absolutely isn't the orator Hitler was among a lot of other differences.

However I still say the overall party/political movement he is head of is extremely fascist and incorporating a lot of Nazi elements. The flip to that is that the Nazis got a lot of stuff from the USA and the Nazis loved our racist policies in the 30s and our history of doing things like the westward expansion and what that did to the native people.

My family (wife and multiple kids) oddly enough have access to both this and Minecraft and actually prefer Luanti most of the time.

Try Lego Masters from other regions. I'm guessing you are watching the USA version and I know my kids have enjoyed the Australian version way more. All a matter of taste of course in what works for you especially in terms of something like a show host.

I had a 1980 year Oldsmobile 98 that didn't have as many crazy issues as yours but did have one amazing one.

Driving home one evening from college classes the headlights didn't work so I took it into the shop.

Couldn't find anything normal as a cause but I had one of those old time small town mechanics that couldn't stand to lose to the car. So he said he wouldn't charge us for the extra work hours if he could keep it as a project until he was done. Took over three weeks of him going through the wiring and finally found a harness/wire that had worn through and was grounding to the car frame.

So far nothing too weird for an old car. The bizarre part is that he had good current equipment and it is supposed to test if a wire is grounded out like that to the frame or even if it is broken by kicking signals along it like you can to find damage to Ethernet cables.

So with that tester in hand and knowing without question what the problem was he hooked it back up and it still reported nothing wrong. He called the manufacturer and they said as far as they know that violates the laws of electricity.... Worked fine with the new wires so again definitely correct and his tool worked on everything else he ever tried it on.
