Where's an open window when you need one... :-/

Sounds like a good way to ensure it's neither efficient or economic. I've come to expect nothing less from Trump's policy suggestions.

That may be, but I doubt many Cybertruck owners would want to make it less clear they own a Cybertruck.

Wonderful metaphor. Although it's hard to suspend disbelief in a story about Trump wanting to / knowing how to play video games. He strikes me as the type that'll buy an arcade but never set foot in it. And then remove all that is good about it and fill it with ticket games.

Abort, Retry, or Fail. But all at the same time.

They're similar. Generally welding is focused on fusing metals of similar makeup (I.e. steel to steel). While It does frequently (but not always) use "filler" but a good weld relies in the actual fusion of the separate metal pieces, basically melting the pieces together. The filler also tends to be similar in composition to the fused metals.

Soldering uses a dissimilar metal to join pieces and it doesn't fuse the pieces together.

There's also brazing, which is somewhere in between those two.

But, yea, honestly I generalize it all into a hot glue gun for metal :-P

There's a belt tensioner tool that can be rented from the auto parts store. This helps greatly to pull back the belt pulley to get a belt on. Had to do it once and having that tool made a big difference.

No. I have no use for that hypothesis.

Ability to eliminate others side effects.

Probably could have stopped that headline at the third word.

There's certainly a history of big tobacco getting actors to smoke on screen, so that's certainly part of it. But another reason an actor might want to smoke is it gives them a way to utilize body language in a way that's plausible within the scene. Cigarettes, cigars, pipes, pens, eye glasses.. these sorts of props are often almost invisible (as the audience just sort of takes them for granted), but can be used by an actor with intent to convey some unsaid context.
