"We use relatively thin materials, such as 2mm stainless steel for brake discs and up to 6mm aluminum for some sprockets," Pate says. "For thinner gauges, compared with an equivalent CO2 source, the fiber laser produces components three times faster. It has made a fantastic difference in helping us to meet the sheer volume of orders."
White Cargo Van without side windows will never be bothered at a truck stop. Too many of them. Small contractors.
Next up: knives made from air (oxynitride ceramic), liquid oxygen and hydrogen at room temperature (water), gaseous polymers (we just burnt them). C’mon, this is not a hack, It is not even news. It is clickbait.

Another automation area that should meet your demands is material storage. Is a single shelf of raw material acceptable? Do you require the storage of multiple materials to be readily available to schedule through your fiber laser? These questions are often easier for a large OEM that can forecast production needs further into the future than a job shop that may not know when the next hot job will need to be produced. These two different scenarios can be addressed with the same flexible base automation system. The job shop may have an initial need for automation to maximize production during the off-hour shifts and only require one pallet of raw material to be staged for the laser.
And with the long-awaited $500 million redevelopment project underway at the Navy base site, now known as Alameda Point (plus hotshot companies such as Google’s Makani Power having settled in town), Alameda is continuing on its inevitable path to revitalization. —Reporting by Jenna Valdespino
This £475 ‘naked’ mower runs on Stihl’s 36V AP battery system and features twin battery slots for extended run-time. Only one slot is active though and you will need to manually swap batteries around to use the fresh battery. As tested at £692, our mower came with the entry-level AL 101 charger and a single 6Ah AP 300 battery, promising to cut up to 500m² of lawn on a single charge. A range of battery and charger option are available, however (see below).
“In fact, due to their lower frequency, at similar RF exposure levels, the body absorbs up to five times more of the signal from FM radio and television than from base stations.”
“So, what’s Jim driving?” “His dad’s Nash.” “Oohhh, no. Here’s the keys to my Cadillac.”
If you’re headed out to the bars in Oakland, chances are you’re bound for Uptown, where there is seriously not shortage of ways to stay buzzed and entertained. Below is a selection of some of our faves—check out our complete guide to Uptown for the definitive list. // To plan a perfect Sunday, bring your crew to Telegraph Beer Garden (2318 Telegraph Ave.) order a round of boozy Greyhound slushies from the outdoor bar, and come to terms with your inevitable sunburn as a quick hangout slowly melts into a day of drinking. // At Lost and Found’s (2040 Telegraph Ave.) expansive indoor-outdoor space, you can sip from a selection of 20 taps, snack on kimchi deviled eggs and buffalo cauliflower, and duke it out with a game of corn hole or ping pong in the beer garden. // Drake’s Dealership (2325 Broadway Auto Row) is a vast, 350-seat pub and beer garden where you’ll find 32 beers on draft (including a few guest taps), elevated bar grub, and plenty of space to stretch out near a fire pit on the dog-friendly patio. // Commune with nature while consuming cocktails: The Double Standard’s (2424 Telegraph Ave. Oakland) outdoor patio is shaded by three towering redwoods, a remnant from the space’s previous life as Ms. Kim’s Backyard. // As a relative newcomer to the Uptown bar scene, Hello Stranger (1724 Broadway) has managed to lure a sizeable chunk of the Oakland nightlife crowd with an enticing ceiling-height bar, DJ nights and dancing, and your choice of ways to rose all day. // Cocktails capitalizing on seasonal ingredients—try the garden gimlet (gin, cucumber, basil, and lime)—shareable "things in jars", and two indoor bocce courts make Make Westing (1741 Telegraph Ave.) an ideal stop for low-key date nights during the week. // Located in a warehouse/artist co-op also occupied by jewelers, artists, and other makers, urban winery Two Mile Wines (477 25th St.) specializes in food-focused, small production wines and also is the driving force behind Oakland Spirits, a new Uptown distillery focused on brandy and gin. // The Punchdown (1737 Broadway) is a cozy wine bar pouring vino with a focus on organic, minimal-intervention winemaking. // Oakland lost an icon last fall with the passing of Peter Van Kleef, who transformed the Telegraph mainstay Cafe Van Kleef (1621 Telegraph Ave.) into a delightfully random watering hole more than a decade ago, way before the area was hip. It’s not uncommon to find yourself leaning against a naked sculpture, sipping a freshly squeezed greyhound while a live band is welcomed with enthusiastic hip shakes and claps on the tiny dance floor. // Nightly special events at The Port Bar Oakland (2023 Broadway) make this much-needed gay bar a draw seven days a week. Tuesday trivia night, weekend midnight happy hour, and cabaret Sundays hosted by local drag queens round out weekend DJ nights with shirtless go-go dancers and drink names that aren’t shy about the sexual innuendo.

Why didn’t you show up sooner before we all (well, some of us) made fools of ourselves with ignorant comments? (Says Rod, whilst polishing his mirror.)
