Lost, or "conveniently lost" as they now bypass every single instance's defederation for a few days?

800 if split 5 ways probably
My first car was a 2004 Outback. Good riddance, it was a mechanical clusterfuck.
Currently I still have:
- 1991 Honda Accord, my solid daily
- 1977 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham, the summer weekend boat (yea I'm a bit block cadillac guy lol). 425 cubic inches of Fuck OPEC.
On the back burner are a couple others.
- 1999 Subaru Forester, 5spd manual. Originally my high school daily. I lifted this one 2" and drove it in the gambler 500 a few times, it's transmission sounds like a blender and is blowing up so I parked it until I get a chance to swap a new 5spd in - which is hard because they're hard to find these days.
- 2000 VW Golf TDI, 5spd manual. Got it for free, snapped timing belt at 300k. This was going to become a highway daily but life got in the way and I never had the time or mental energy to really dig into it.
Also even if we could make all of the chips, Taiwan still holds almost all the other incidental processes (especially packaging) that most advanced chip designs require these days.

Ahhh. Important distinction.
In that case it is likely just a cost and practicality thing. Copper alloys are significantly more expensive than stainless steels or plastics. They're a little harder to form and shape as well due to their cold work hardening properties (the more you bend it, the harder it gets, until it breaks; stainless is more ductile in this regard).
It would be pretty, but I guess manufacturers have likely not determined an economic benefit to making a higher end, more expensive, harder to manufacture razor body out of these metals.

Not hard enough and thus not sharp enough.
Aluminum bronze can be strong but it cannot get very hard (my Google says around 27 Rockwell C hardness). A typical razor blade is at least 60 HRC.
The hardness of a material generally dictates how sharp of an edge can be put on it. Harder materials do not deflect away from your grinding wheel and can thus keep a narrower, sharper edge. Also harder materials keep an edge longer and better.
That aluminum bronze would make a good corrosion resistant blade, but you wouldn't be able to get (or keep) it sharp enough to make for a comfortable shave.
Was it all bullshit from all of them?
Yes.
Reminder that the NFL immediately capitulated to the Nazi's and you should not be watching the Super Bowl except via free, pirated streams that serve them no revenue.
Once all of this damage is done there will be people who wonder why they can never get ahead in life. Why so many roads towards wealth have been cut off from them.
That day has been here since the mid 2000s. More than half the country lives paycheck to paycheck with less than 1k saved, and will be stuck there working until they die.
The sheer instability of the past month had already driven gad prices up about 30c/gal where I am, even as oil prices have dropped overall since jan20th. Oh it's coming for sure.
