This translates into me finding women more attractive if they know how to do stuff and/or get out and do stuff.

The mineral oil has considerable specific heat capacity, which means it can absorb lots of heat. Because of this, it takes the system quite a while to work up to its equilibrium temperature. Starting at an ambient 29C on the CPU, we found it took about an hour to hit a stable idle temperature of 37C.

[Anonymous No.358698]

The system under load was a different story. We put the system under full CPU and GPU load, and watched the temperatures climb. It took a really long time. After 12 hours, the system topped out with a CPU temperature of 88C. Yes, that is really hot. The system was rock solid and didn't crash when running stress tests for 48 hours at these temperatures, but we do not recommend running anything close to this hot, as the acrylic can easily crack at that temperature. We later added a radiator to solve this problem.

So under load you need a radiator.

That picture of the women riveting an aircraft looks staged, but they were surely real women doing their real jobs asked to pose for the camera. Women did a lot of industrial work during WWII because so many men were away fighting. It was a major shift in American culture. It was never glamorized like present day "nerd girls".

Jeri ellsworth is an idiot, she spent 2 years of her life buying silicon wafers off ebay and eperimenting with spin coating so she could bake some crappy bjt transistors that can't even compare with those you can buy surplus for a few cents.

I saw one video of hers once where she basically boiled zinc into very toxic zinc oxide in an open test tube while trying to make some kind of shitty glow in the dark powder comparable to that from the 1960's.

Not exactly friend. I don't know if that particular image was staged and it is true that women did work in the factories during world war 2. It is also true that it was highly propagandized to boost moral encourage everyone to go out and work for the war effort. After all, if even someone's mother was doing her part, what excuse would you have for not participating? As you state, the intention never was to get women out and about doing man's work, but to keep the entire country busy doing what they were suited for.

However, like most propaganda it was less than honest. The idea of rosie the riveter is even more misrepresented because it was adopted by the feminist movement to slightly rewrite history. The original rosie image with the girl saying "we can do it" was not the real rosier the riveter. That poster was never used during the war, but instead was dug up from the archieves of a publishing company during the 1980s and used as propaganda for the feminist movement. It was never seen by the american public before then.

The fact is, most factory jobs were still primarily done by men. While women did work in factories, most of the work they did was traditional female tasks such as secrtary. Those females who did work on the floor tended to work very little and not for very long, and didnt get paid well enough to justify it. Any feminist you ask will be quick to point out that women workers got paid less than men because of vagina. My great grandfather was actually a manager at one of the Douglas plants during the war and he explained to me how this all worked out.

Like most patriotic men, he and his friends all went out and signed up after pearl harbor was announced, but the military brass picked them up and tore up their enlistment papers the next day. They were specifically told that they were not allowed to enlist and that they would be doing their patriotic duty by building the machines needed for the war. Some of the less skilled workers were allowed to sign up, or signed up under a false name like many people under 18 did, and women replaced them in part, but most women were simply too incompetent/weak to do the job properly. The supposedly famous "rosie the riveter" left her job shortly after being photographed because the work was just too hard for someone who had only done housework all their life.

It certainly is not true that all the men were serving in the military and all the factory workers were women.

Still there were a lot of women doing "men's work", including a lot of work which was physically demanding.

Most people of that era, including women, were used to doing tasks which were harder than doing the equivalent task today. "Doing the dishes" didn't mean "loading the dishwasher".

Women welders were certainly rare. Women doing mechanical assembly were not.

Some radical feminists make it sound like all WWII women were building tanks and planes; that is not correct. However, many men were overseas and many women did do defense factory work.

No, all those loose ends, the tail, extra jewelry and the wig are potential hazards, I think the tool is made of foam, which may or may not save your life should one of your other props get stuck in a piece of moving machinery, most likely it will become a pile of bloody fluff should an incident occur.
