  • Between 35 and 51.if we assume a reasonable stacking technique for stability, every box not on top can be supported on 3 sides at 40.

    We also don’t know that every box is the same size. With that format screw it could be as low as 21.

    This is why mechanical diagrams include an isometric view and xray lines.

    Edit: I see now it specifies cubes, so the number couldn’t be 21, but it could still be less than 35. I’m not figuring that one out.

    Also why can’t you see the trailer in the top view when it protrudes on the sides?








  • I run three offices, and I can tell you we don’t get any of that money. In fact we pay out the ass for whatever bullshit tech company was forced on us by insurance lobbyists to make you see those ads, while they also make the questionaires unreasonably long and uneditable so they can data harvest and make another dollar after tech fees, Ad revenue, service charges, and insurance payments.

    But we can’t just not use them, because every new regulation is a 60,000$ fine, and they send ghost patients at least once a quarter to try and catch violations to rules they lobbied to make as difficult as possible to conform to.

    My EHR system is 1700$ per month per office, and it has only made everything much slower and less personal, while forcing me to constantly do tech support for half of our patients.

    Hippa is supposed to protect us from the data harvesting, but since the insurance companies own the tech, device, ad, and service companies, as well as most offices, they don’t have to sell your data, because they’re the ones who want it.



  • Amother organism or person needs to be predictable to be trusted.someone or something acting in an unpredictable manner means it may suddenly decide you’re a threat. We evolved in a world before science and medicine, where any injury could mean death. Even the most unstoppable animals, bears, elephants, moose, will bluff charge a threat rather than immediately attack, because fighting risks injury, regardless of how unbalanced the fight is. I can’t win a fight against any of those animals, but I can bite it while it’s killing me. A full thickness bite wound is all but guaranteed to cause an infection, which may kill or disable.

    Humans are also social creatures, and we run on cultural norms that make it easier to trust that the person next to you in a restaurant won’t suddenly stab you, even though he is holding a knife.

    A major cultural difference can make others seem dangerous in a primal way. We know through interaction that other cultures are not more dangerous, but that primal unease of being surrounded by people from a different tribe is still in there somewhere.

    In my opinion, this is why racism is so hard to root out. A lot of it is taught by others, but it’s not a negligible amount tied to fear of anything different.
