Nah, it’s because he knows one fundamental truth: ACAB. Especially the sleezy one with the gold tooth.

In theory it could work if everyone living under it are selfless and 100% in on it, but that’s simply against human nature. Also, a resource distribution system based on “trust me, bro” will at best be inefficient or corrupt, in most cases both.

We’re currently living through an era where liberalism+capitalism is really showing its asscracks, but I’d take that over communism. But I can understand why communism may appeal to some who have never managed to get ahead in our current system.

Needs more fan tangle

True. I’ve had two spectacular ones myself:

• I was printing some minis, and one of them came loose and knocked all the other ones loose as well. It took a long while before The noticed and the spaghetti buildup got to the point where the cooling fan for the hotend got tangled. The printer noticed and shut itself down, so no harm done.
• I don’t remember what happened, but the nozzle picked up a lot of snot that didn’t come off, and it only kept accumulating to the point where any extruded filament just kept adding to the booger. Luckily it was easy to remove as it was still pretty warm. And praise the gods for nozzle socks.

EDIT: Oh, back in 2012ish when I first started dabbling with 3D printing, a spool tangle caused the printer to winch itself off of the desk and ended up lynched against the spool holder. Oddly enough the print was relatively OK.

It’s a filthy print sheet, actually. Filament is dry and good, but it’s been a long while since I cleaned the print surface.

Only 2.5? Someone gave me bonus points for the “Squid in the seaweed”.

This exact same thing happened to a friend of mine when he visited Thailand. Met this girl through acquaintances, they got to know each other very well, etc… Be warned: They’re happily married and living together 10 years later.

12ish or so, when we learned about Mussolini. It wasn’t that substantive, though, since it took quite a lot longer to learn to differentiate between fascism and Nazism.

I have no idea of the cost involved with a TLD, I just want to point out that your own domain, such as indigogollum.com is both cheap and easy.

Source: I have no idea how many domains I’ve had and used throughout the years. I’ve been able to ween myself off it, and now I’m down to 3ish

Is there any info regarding how old this data is?

Yeah, same. I used a 19" CRT from 1999 to 2009, and just now I almost thought “ah, those were the d…” NO!

The ONLY think I liked about CRTs were that they were durable because of the thick glass, and they didn’t fall over as easily as flat screens. Other than that they were objectively worse in any single way.

I’m not married and I never was. And on paper I still have in-laws.

I met this girl around 2008 and we became friends with benefits. Suddenly 17 years later we have mortgage, kids, pets, and everything else together. Some might go as far as saying that it’s starting to get serious between us.

Anyway, due to having had shared address and offspring we’re legally considered married for all practical purposes.

Magnetic storage is pretty much the gold standard when it comes to massive amounts of long term offline data. Sure, it doesn’t last forever, but proper quality tape lasts for many decades.

Source: I work with tape drives, and the amount of data I’ve written to tape and sent off for long term storage is measured in petabytes.

Finally a post about EU digital laws that uses an ISO keyboard. It annoys me more than it should to see an ANSI keyboard with an EU flag on it.

Grimereaper. Yup. I have them tagged as “Weirdly obsessed with age gaps and superheroes”

I can set you up with an account if you want. If so, DM me your chosen username and an email address (the latter doesn’t have to be valid, but I do intend to have a password reset function at some point)

I made it because I found the filesize limitation of catbox to be too small, and I want to host other stuff than pictures and videos too.

It requires a login to upload stuff, as I don’t want to deal with the headache of accepting anonymous uploads, and I might make it into something “proper” one day.

EDIT: Catbox, not carbon. Ducking autocorrect.

Futaba Corporation.

I’m using an old RC helicopter radio I bought eons ago to control a raspberry pi, so I’m reverse engineering the signal on the receiver side (which was surprisingly easy), and I got curious about the company in general.

I used 3dsmax a lot around 25ish years ago, and even though I pirated it, I remember it costing a fortune.

After getting back into 3D printing I needed something with which to do modelling, and as I’m exclusively on Linux I decided to dive into Blender.

My conclusion is that blender today is better than 3dsmax way back. I just need to translate allof my learned 3dsmax terms and techniques into blender.

Lol, Vladdy already tried a nuclear test. Was it last year? This year? I forget… Either way, it failed.
