Safety factor usually means multiplying, not dividing.
IOW
As strong as necessary times 2.
Not strong as necessary divided by 2.

Twice as strong is usually better than half as strong. :rolleyes:

The Chinese are good people but they are spineless

you can march them to the gallows but you can't get them to stand up for themselves

They had a taste of what capitalism has to offer...now watch what happens when it's taken away

in the name of the CCP.....AKA...the Chinese rich elite

I have heard, multiple times, "You Americans don't realize what you have here."
I see my countrymen as total **** idiots more and more.
