25% is even way too low. Factor of Safety is the term you're looking for, which is generally 2x or more depending on the field. Most of the equipment I've ever worked on had a minimum 3x safety factor meaning the actual limits were 3x what the ratings indicated.

A quick search gave me the result of a safety factor of at least 2 for rigging and recovery components on vehicles.

Most people would see it that way, yes.

You can see the AI's process though. It split the query into two parts: [a red ball balancing on] a [white ball with a blue ball on top]. So it threw a blue ball onto a white ball, then balanced a red on top. I'm guessing sentence formatting would help.

He's still the leader of the opposition. This wasn't an election between parties, this was the liberals choosing a new leader. We'll see if the Liberals can hold off the Conservatives before elections are here.

Orange PVC pipes are used plenty in my neck of the woods. I see them regularly used for fire suppression system piping.

If the goal of taking shrooms is to forget about what's happening around the world despite our human potential or the pain of every day life; might I recommend something like meth or heroin instead?

Shrooms at this point will probably just open your mind up to the really dark thoughts you're subconsciously suppressing and make you more depressed. Tripping on shrooms isn't something that heals you, it's the changes you make after the trip that matter.

Also, I'm kidding about doing meth or heroin. Don't.

The point is - if the 2/3 or more of us not radicalized find solidarity, his presidency ends

Better late than never, I guess, but the time for action and solidarity was before the election. Trump has never made a secret of his plans, and the world witnessed just how fractured America is with his re-election.

The first election of Trump, I believe, was a fuck you to the establishment. I would never have rallied behind the piece of shit, but I could at least understand what was happening. His re-election was a fuck you to the rest of the world, including Americans.

The world is looking at the general apathy of Americans and waiting for them to do something about it. It's an uphill fight but Americans haven't even gotten into the ring yet.
