Even if I'm only presenting a handful of slides I'll slap some blank ones on the end just to make everyone sweat over "Slide 1 of 83". Everyone is pretty darn quiet and glad to help speed things along most of the time.
The authorities allege that he was doing it to obtain vaccine batch numbers needed for making fraud proof-of-vaccination documents.
Although I'm sure the headline is true, at least with my industry it's a little misleading. All we did over the past few years was cut in Mexico as middle men.
There's no cost effective domestic source of a particular raw material so it's traditionally been purchased from China and turned into a product in the US. With various tariffs and labor costs it's now cheaper to purchase the same raw material from China, turn it into components in Mexico (thus a Mexican product), and then do final assembly in the US. On paper we're importing things from Mexico but the majority of the money still ends up in the same place.
I'm curious if that's the case for other industries.

- Connect up bluetooth for tunes
- Wait for startup high-idle to finish warming the cats or whatever

There was a prototype that popped up on ebay out of nowhere back around 2011. Seemingly made it pretty late into development before the idea was canned.
He broke records for youngest WDC, pole sitter, podium, race winner, etc. I fully expect he's going to set records for oldest.
It's pretty common for a CMM to be in its own climate controlled room. Parts will be placed in the room and allowed to reach reference temperature for a several hours prior to measurement.
On production lines you usually skip the absolute measurement of a CMM and use go/no-go gauges. One should fit, one should not. They'll be made of a material with similar thermal expansion coefficients as your parts. As long as they've both been sitting around for a while they'll be at the same temp. They'll have expanded or contracted the same amount from reference so their relationship of go/no-go will still hold true.
The whole field of metrology is a never ending rabbit hole - really interesting the more you get into it.
10 micron (0.01mm) is pretty reasonable tolerance for a lot of stuff. The laminations in Tesla's motors will be held to somewhere around that, possibly even tighter. Things like motor winding insulation coatings will be far tighter.
For something like body panels or plastic interior pieces it's utter overkill and a waste of resources.

Prey (2017) hit such a sweet spot for me; absolutely loved it. Was really hoping we'd get a sequel. I was never able to get into Deathloop and I've only heard negative stuff about Redfall.
According to Bloomberg, 70% of the staff that worked on Prey were gone by the time Redfall was released. Real shame to see a studio fall from grace and end up shuttered whether it be management decisions or lost talent.
