You might need to pry the cylinder the pin goes in in the opposite direction of where it's trying to trend. E.g., if the two pieces' cylinders don't want to line up, you probably need to pry them over so that when the pin is in, they sit flush. This might be counter-intuitive. You might think you need to pry them together, but that will cause them to sit farther apart when the pin is in. Pry them away from each other, just a couple mm, so when the pin is in, they are closer.
The poor child didn't understand that it's not good to swallow so much blood
It sounds like the swallowing wasn't the problem, the bleeding was. The swallowing just masked the true symptom, the bleeding, from being observed by others.
We don’t get to decide who the Dem nominee is when the current President is a Dem who will be running again.
What we can do is urge our representatives to pass legislation enacting ranked-choice or STAR voting, which would cause the parties to put up better candidates as their nominees if they want a chance of winning.
The ideal solution is probably not to build a colony in the middle of space, but rather find a celestial body with the necessary materials with gravity low enough to be acceptable.
Moon gravity too strong? Try smaller moons. Phobos? Europa? Charon?
But the point is if you get your materials from the Moon, for example, it’s vastly more economical to just build a Moon colony (or another Moon colony) than a space colony of the same size.
If you aren’t sure, don’t do it. Chances are, the project will be harder than you’re imagining, unless you are starting with a good idea of exactly what it entails.
So that figure is just the mantle, no core or surface? I agree it would be near the top, if not above. The heat from the core would easily offset the loss of heat from including the surface.
English settlers arrived in the east. So wherever they were when they named an area, that was the original, and as they spread west, north or south, they had to add those directions to keep them distinct.
