Woo, looking forward to the read!

What a great futuristic photo, and lovely looking cheese!

Ooh, looking forward to it!

Wow. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge.

Sounds like I need a little bit of kit and then to get going, or would you recommend any particular resource to learn with?

Great tips, I’ll have a look at the shop as I will need some supplies.

Do I hear you right that you prefer your jury rigged press? How come?

Sounds delicious, thank you!

Thanks for the advice, I guess I’m too new to understand what’s needed and what can be improvised yet.

Thank you for excellent tips, I guess I have to figure out what to cook with paneer next ;)

Wow, quark is very popular in strength training circles, would be fun to make my own!

Thank you for the recipe recommendation!

Haha, love the summary.

What equipment do I need? A couple cheesecloths, a pot and string. Do I need a mold/tray? Would you recommend any other equipment?

Reading up a bit, it seems some lasers might penetrate AT-AT legs judging by how there are more armored variants. Also, there’s an argument about flechette launchers and ship turbo cannons being able to get through similar amounts of Durasteel.

It also seems Durasteel is weaker than titanium, and we have plenty of kinetics test can go through titanium

But using real life logic, if they can be shaped they can’t be invulnerable. Also wouldn’t you be able to gum up a knee or foot joint with something like a tree, or even just durasteel shrapnel? Then it’s not about denting as much as using leverage to burn the motor. Even just fouling up the lubricant would cause huge maintenance costs.

Also, as the legs are articulated, explosives would be able to trip them by moving the legs from out under them.

Also also, the huge troop compartment and wide sides should be very easy to hit causing overpressure injury, which beyond being disorienting (bad for assault troops) significantly shorten the utility of the troopers, seems expensive and unnecessary when the option is dropships, shuttles, or land cars.

AT-ATs are a terrible main combat vehicle.

Enormous target profile, of which most is very vulnerable gangly legs and joints. It doesn’t even have much firepower to motivate the ridiculous size. It’s also a quite slow transport with a low complement and slow deployment.

It is however a versatile tool of terror, as I believe is it’s purpose.

The manpower is there and will be driven by necessity and availability. There’s nothing to suggest that manpower is inherently different, the goat herders and lavender farmers do their work manually not because they’re stupid or hard working, but that it’s the best available job. You might have some whining in between though, that’s what the protests and fascism is about.

In some sense, high paying tech/service jobs are just leveraging infrastructure (of communications, education, networking, political stability, power, etc.) to create the high profits enabling the cushiness of workplace.

Manufacturing doesn’t require that. It might be that with the plan signalled in the intense government (which is the main driver of infrastructure) cuts, there will be no other option in about 10-15 years time. Or at least with a larger class divide.

The strange thing is that it also generates less wealth, meaning less money for the rich folks to get rich off of. Is it just short sighted, or do they have a planned exit?
