As with most of reality, yes and no.

It's much easier to accept prima facie when we are entirely enshrouded by the outcomes, products, and progressive ideologies of the industrial revolution. 

 It would explain a lot. 

 Age test-

What is the first corporate sales buzzword your remember?

Mine- "turbo"

 Because Juan's car is underwater and he's dead.  

 An open invitation to the proliferation of strong, black markets. 

 What damage is that? 

 Time well spent. 
I started a bio-char burn and built a new compost bin. 
(Not nearly as cool as tallow lip balm) 

 It's the unit is the vibrational energy within a solid crystal structure. 
It's kind of a particle, but only as a calculation of energy carried through the structure. 

 Essentially, it is. But each phonon represents a different frequency. 
When the structure vibrates, it does so at a seemingly chaotic series of frequencies at the same time. (Multiple, interacting phonons)

A note of difference between photons and phonons-
Phonons of different wavelengths interact and mix with each other, unlike photons that generally do not.
 

 The tech license is an easy way to get started, and worth the time.

I can't get an f8hp that actually works well. 
Low audio or causes splatter elsewhere to interfere with other frequencies. I gave up in Fengs as soon as i could upgrade.
(Again, a good learning experience)
 

 And more abundant, closer to the user.

 They're made by humans. It's inherent. Teleological, even. 

 Correct.  

 What primary did she win? 

 I find it comforting, frankly. 

 Cool. And? 

 Always 

 Not directly, but with a southern border that big... 

 Well if i knew that would be the case i would have asked for help cutting up and moving another mesquite. 😁
 

 Yep. Had to sharpen the chain a couple times, but got it taken care of.
(Mesquite is deceptively tough on parts) 

 In a scenario like that, it's using up what will last in the order that it will provide function and working to provide the softest landing while coming to grips with a pre, iron-age life. 

 It was about a decade ago that i noticed that the highest tier of tools for my industry were becoming noticeably worse. 

 Since my experience is specifically in the US, I can only speak about brands here.

I'll start with the last part first.
Japan and Germany seem to have maintained the highest quality.

The flood of cheap tools and the "pro-sumer" grade tools has had some effect, but they're still the brands that one starts with and replaces over time with better quality. 
(Anyone that has worked with combination wrenches every day for years will quickly identify why Snap-on is and has been superior in every small detail)

But the fit, finish, and durability has been sliding for awhile. 
Metallurgical reasons for the greatest part. 
I have had regular use sockets of multiple sets (multiple drive sizes and applications) crack or shatter more often. Than a decade ago when i was far harder on them. 
I've had key components of torque wrenches and socket wrenches faill due to inclusions in key stress areas.
Repeat pawl failures in socket wrenches that replaced pieces that had lasted 3 or four times longer.

To sum up-
A number of factors. 
Profitability leading to decreasing metallurgical standards, desirability of lighter designs. Competition with garbage from China.

At the bottom of it,
a shrinking workforce that identifies with quality. 
 

 Holy gish-galloping Batman! 

 Depends on a few things.

1. How far back does the damage go. (You'll have to open the harness and find out where the cable is still flexible by hand. A visual inspection won't be enough)

2. Is there enough slack in the cable to reach. (After performing step 1)

There are splice cables and terminal assemblies available if it doesn't reach.

Using a design that solders to the existing cable is preferable, but crimping and using marine grade shrink tubing is second best. 

 Excellent!
Where i am, a little corrosion/high resistance causes damage further down the cable pretty quickly. 

 It's far more than most Americans would do. 

 Sounds about right 😄 

 I was laughing at that as well.

 I call could deal with finding that. 

 Yes, but only in that our modern technology is the output of an unchanged human nature. 

 "Luck is when preparation meets opportunity." 

 Keep it clear of Manchester Township. 

 "A foaming agent"?
It an anti-foaming agent and it's in the cooking oil to reduce splatter.

It is labeled "E900" by the EU and is used as an anti caking agent.

A heated PDMS microfluidic chip is used to detect formaldehyde in food samples.
(While consuming formaldehyde is dangerous for humans, it is naturally occurring and is Emmen a product of metabolization within the human body)

While i prefer not to consume anything i need not, ( I will continue to avoid processed foods)
Using accurate information would be preferable when making the point that simpler is better and likely safer.
 

 It can and does, but not in the direction he intends. 

 It's called Sequim Was. 

 I haven't seen him either. 

 With goals like that, the chickens become a necessity quickly. 

 Fair. Ducks are a little more difficult where i am. 

 It's true, and good. 

 Right up until you take a low speed turn in an unfamiliar truck and it feels like the tires start skipping. 

 Hope you're a fan of death metal. 

 Strap in. This is going to get confusing. 

 What our current age would all look like if we had just bought into Virtual Boy. 

 Most plates i see anymore are from Cali. 

 Past tense is key here. 

 As in "from Phoenix but trying to get away"? 

 Make sense. I got here and dug in. Found i liked it and stuck around a couple decades. 

 The heat is the boss battle.  

 Not if you're using a Newtonian to observe. 

 You will know the vampires by their thralls.

It's a reasonable conclude they are doing quite well on earth. 

 Isn't that what the Gray Knights are for? 

 It's not fun, but it does make a difference. 

 Absolutely! 

 Would be interesting. 

I don't get pinecones where i am, but after three days of processing bio-char, i have a lot of charcoal bean pods from a Texas Ebony and Palo Verde. 

 It's the best way to start. 
All of my experiments were iterations with what was on hand.
