nylon

By the grace of faulty nylon, I'm still here." It doesn't get better."

These are nylon belts with a buckle and a small expandable pouch. They also have 2 toggles to attach your race bib too.

>could soar through the clouds with nothing but my own body and some nylon keeping me aloft. For crying out loud, just go skydiving already.

Cheap pin headers are just punched and shoved into nylon housing. They have very little contact with a male connector.

The funny thing is, that there are at least six people with black nylon backpacks in the picture. So obviously an entire swarm of terrorists is depicted...

If I wear a zero-porosity nylon jumpsuit and fly on my belly, I'll fall at roughly 120mph. If I fly in baggier clothes, or throw on a sweatshirt over that jumpsuit, I can slow to 115mph.

They make them and ship them back to you, then they keep the production line running with nylon, make 10,000 more and ship those to market vendors, eBay merchants, etc.

The plastic you are using appears to be nylon, and nylon releases highly toxic fumes when melted. In addition to the nasty smell, there are some things in there that can kill you before you notice them.

We industrially designed a nylon attachment strap to each goTenna so you can attach it wherever you'd like. Including, I suppose, your head.

He was a nice guy but I noticed the cheap suit he wore; not wool but nylon or some other "plastic" material. We talked for a bit about what the article was about and how these Hungarians may have come across it and why they were writing me.

I wanted to believe that it was possible that I, too, could soar through the clouds with nothing but my own body and some nylon keeping me aloft. Regardless, let us not deride the filmaker, nor undeservedly dismiss his goals.

A chemist can make nylon, gunpowder, matches, or plastic from relatively easily obtained chemicals even in ancient times, for example. There are also lots of other little tricks that are just as or more valuable.

The molex family seems most effective at demonstrating the flammability of overheated nylon, at least at power levels over a hundred or so watts. The ancient Cinch plugs worked sorta well, although they're a bit large and fiddly.

I'm sure that the reason for doing it originally was probably arbitrary, but it's the established manner of doing things, just like wearing a strip of silk or nylon around your neck is considered more formal than just the collared shirt. Comic Sans is a font that is used to convey informality.

I slept in a hammock for a while in a cramped basement apartment; it was one of those cheap nylon mesh ones, but really comfortable. Until the gentle rocking motion wore through several of the nylon cords and dumped me on the concrete floor one night. Worse, I knew from rock climbing that nylon rubbing on nylon wears ropes out really quickly, but it never occurred to me to apply that to the hammock until after.

For example, rayon[1] was one of the first attempts at a synthetic silk, with nylon appearing just a few decades later[2], and eventually a number of other synthetic fibers. While there have been undeniable commercial successes, all of the pretenders remain worlds worlds apart from the look, feel, and even function of natural silk.

My most poignant memory from the time was being a part of a circle of festival goers holding a large circular nylon parachute that caught and launched a seemingly infinite series of glow sticks into the air in a fountain like manner at Rothbury on July 4th 2009 during a Grateful Dead set. The money from that period is long gone, and so is the girl but the memories and skills remain.

EMTs use special tools designed to fit a seatbelt or cloth into a small slot and slice through without any risk to a person; they also have specially designed shears which make it difficult to cut flesh, but easily cut through nylon and leather. Utility knives have retractable blades to reduce injury, and other tools are designed to fit specific materials into slots and make cutting people impossible.
