twitter api costs are astronomical. between twitter and reddit, social is toast. i cannot stress this enough: it is going to become a wild west land where nazis run everything and no one wants to touch it with a 420 foot pole. corporations and advertising will not persist as entities on social at this rate.

good.

It does. They sort of split the site in 2 so you can’t click the NSFW boards from the safe side. It didn’t work. They got dropped by more ad networks after the Christchurch shooting iirc, so god knows what dregs advertise there now.

galvanization adds a pretty significant amount of weight, 10-15%

rust in car bodies is typically handled by painting the body, it's the reason cars are painted, the cosmetic side is just a bonus

If you paint over rust, the rust is still there. If you've ever seen bubbling paint, that's usually due to rust or corrosion underneath

oops i meant handled as in prevented, not treated

surface rust can be sanded off but if it's penetrated past the surface the only solution is to cut out all the rusted parts, it's metalcancer

stainless steel in car frames is not used as it's too expensive. I think you can galvanize (with zinc, not tin) stainless steel but it would be pointless, as stainless already has better corrosion resistance.

Firstname mentioned the weight of galvanizing but it also flakes really easily

Elon letting them rust like that made me lol in the same way that I did when some dog-brained moron over in SE Asia shut off the a/c in the department store he owned to save a few bucks during Covid and ruined his entire stock of goods because crazy humidity in an enclosed space caused massive amounts of mold to grow on everything.

it really depends on the specific properties of the steel. i hope elon is using corten steel though, that would actually be interesting

stainless resists corrosion way better than galvanized steel. also you can't weld tin to steel, or anything

thats cspam on its way to twitter to read the epic elon musk tweets

bigstupidjellyfish
Oct 25, 2010

according to this, it won't hide your likes on the tweets themselves, just the list of liked tweets on your profile. I imagine this will be changed in time, because 1.) people will figure out a way to look up all the nazi/lolicon posts elon has liked anyway, and 2.) entirely hiding the usernames of people who liked a tweet will allow him to inject tons of fake likes to fake engagement without having to use a botnet.
