Eventually, yes. Especially around salt. Not in 2 days though. Maybe take the trash click bait article with some of that salt.

I'd love to see someone sacrifice a body panel and do a 3.5% salt solution test like knifenerd does.

Maybe, and likely, given all the other cuts they made, but as far as I know it's not actually known, which is frustrating. That said the article calls it an SUV and isn't exactly riddles with facts, so.

The pictures from the cybertruckowners forum show something on the surface causing discoloration, like road grime or dust disintegrating in the rain, not like rust forming on metal. I've restored a few rusty stainless kitchen knives in my day, absolutely abused ones, and even cheap stainless doesn't rust like that.

DeLorean is 304 Stainless. Cyber truck is 30? stainless. As in Tesla doesn't want to say, which is why they write it "30X".

given how hard the steel is purported to be, it's likely a variant of 304N, instead of 304 or 304L. (basic stainless like in commercial kitchen equipment and 18/10 stainless, like in high end cooking pans). 304N is harder to work with cold due to it's hardness and gets harder when worked, both properties Tesla has reported as belonging to the cybertruck's steel. 304N is considered a marine grade stainless steel.

There have been a lot of developments in stainless steel production in the 40ish years since the DeLorean came out, so I highly doubt it's the same steel.

I read the waifu parts in Michael Duncan Clarke's voice and it made it bearable.

I'm going to go the other way and recommend The Fifth Season, which is technically a fantasy trilogy but which has won both the Hugo and Nebula awards, because (as if that wasn't a spoiler) it's got a ton of sci Fi in it.

It's basically about people on a planet that keeps dying. They've had to deal with so many apocalyptic events that prepping for the next one defines the entirety of their civilization. If you want a window into the psychology of a society constantly on the verge of destruction, I can't think of a better series.

No, I don't think I will.

Silksong will get here when it gets here. And it'll be amazing.

I'm not making an argument, I'm quite plainly asking for names, because the reality is that now is the time for whoever that is to start building a base. 2016 taught us that pure fucking charisma is enough to win an election, and that's what the GOP is going to bank on from now until eternity since it worked for them once.

(And for anyone doubting Trump's charisma, remember that a Sibriex has 25 CHA https://www.aidedd.org/dnd/monstres.php?vo=sibriex)

I meant my question literally. If Biden wins 2024, Kamala 2028 feels like a bad decision. If it goes the other way, there's a non-zero chance the Dems are running against trump3, or a trump-like that beats him in the gop primaries, or both.

Whoever the Dems field in 2028 has to start making a name for themselves sooner rather than later, and I'm mostly disappointed the Dems aren't using the primaries as a way to show off that candidate.

Well, who do y'all think can beat trump, because that's who's running in 4 years regardless of this election's outcome.

This is the best analogy I've ever read in the subject, bravo.
