Sounds like something out of a horror film. Your body heat melts you into the material. Then, as heat gets distributed and you have more skin contact, you are no longer generating enough heat to keep the gallium melted.

You either suffocate as the material solidifies around your abdomen or you freeze to death as the material pulls enough heat from you to kill you.

It depends on the form of employee ownership as to whether it works out for the employees.

In trucking, the industry uses the owner-operator model as a way to push costs onto employees and skirt labor laws. On paper, the truckers are their own bosses. In reality, they are effectively employees of logistics companies where the logistics companies can pay their employees less than minimum wage and push maintenance costs onto their employees.

In this case, ownership is used as a tool of oppression.

It is strange that this job went from glamorous to real shit.

You had a government mandated floor on prices until the 70's in the USA and the 90's in the EU, which meant that airlines had to compete on amenities and other ways to pull traffic to their airline. Once that price floor was removed, it became apparent that ticket prices were what drove most traffic, so airlines started doing whatever they could to drop ticket prices.

This isn't meant to be a discussion on the morality of the embargo, but the affects of the embargo ending for both countries. These affects can be political, economic, or social.

I wouldn't be surprised if some form of automated education becomes a big thing in the future, but this is just a shit idea right now meant to keep costs low and profits up.

The problem is that so many of their movies are bad.

On the desktop, a lot of programs have been removing and hiding capabilities to look more like tablets and phones. This sucks, as I'm using a desktop which has the room to show all the fiddly bits.

As some instances grow, server costs are becoming significant. Right now, servers are only funded through donations. Do you see the development of anything else to help fund server costs?
