  • It seems to me at least that it comes through in general executive (dys-)function.

    I often can't pay attention to what I want to, even if it is incredibly important, and I care a ton about it. Decision making is awful, except under very specific circumstances: everything on fire at work and you need a solution yesterday? Done. I've got the solution and handed out roles, fires out. I need to eat something and there's a fridge full of food? I will stand there with the door open till it spoils.

    I have a very important thing at work that needs to be done and should only take an hour or two? This documentation I've been thinking about writing for three years that noone else asked for has finally found its time in the sun!

    Gotta make a phone call for literally anything? Huh, my battery's completely drained because I watched 736 YouTube shorts in a row that I couldn't enjoy because of the pit in my stomach about a friendly 30 second call to the pharmacy.

  • Comcast et al have taken (literal) billions of public dollars to expand rural broadband service.

    Instead of laying fiber, they used that money to change the definition of broadband.

    If corporations are people we need to be able to institute the death penalty for them too.

  • I did print myself a herome mount and everything awhile back. Added dual fans and whatnot, I was having a terrible time with petg surface quality, the dual fans helped a lot. I also had to reassemble my hotend to reprint something I messed up lol.

    I'm at the point now where I've replaced so much on my ender that it doesn't really look like the machine I bought, except that it's still i3.

    I'll check out the orbiter, thanks!

  • The lack of banding and wobble is excellent, especially compared to where you came from. You've got me thinking about a new extruder. I've got some no name aluminum extruder setup right now, but I've put enough abrasive filament through that it's made all my filament paths oblong.

    Nice work!

  • That seems like far too little rain to do much farming without totally draining local aquifers.

  • Rewild it with native flora, do yurts and whatever to attract people to live in a sustainable way with community gardening. Activities can initially revolve around returning the land to a more natural state. As things mature people will invest in the community themselves, creating their own activities etc.

  • Yeah... The spectrum of options arrayed before us appear to be heavily weighted towards enforcing arbitrary hierarchies which is... Not ideal.

  • I think whether we like it or not economic systems have forced their way into our political systems.

    And anyone with any existing power is strongly incentivized to kill any "new ideas" in the womb. As they would most likely represent a departure from the current system that they benefit from.

    Any dramatic restructuring is going to be a very "significant" event. We may currently be on the precipice of one such event in the United States, this remains to be seen. The existing power structures have been significantly destabilized and pre-existing norms and rules are being outright ignored.

    Power will shift, it remains to be seen how much and to where.

    In any case, we may have the opportunity for you to see some new interesting governmental concepts, or perhaps a return to some classics, or a mix of the two (a little overtly capitalist fuedalism perhaps?).

    We sure do live in interesting times.

  • One important thing for people to think about right now is "what happens when other countries don't accept deportees?"

    They start to stack up. Housing, feeding, and guarding "dangerous undesirables" is expensive.

    Surely, it would be patriotic to save your country money...

    It might be too late. It might not, who's to say. Videos from this weekend have a very familiar ring to them though.

  • I've got one and they're safe enough to visit any shipwreck.

    I took mine to the bottom of the Mariana Trench.

    Only wusses don't hop on and immediately go as deep as possible.

  • Well eliminating a self selecting group of disproportionately high performers certainly won't hurt them long term.

  • The only place I know to get it is direct from their site.

    I'm not sure that you do, as far as I know, being able to move them is the only test. I'm printing a torture toaster now to see if I'm getting similar results with that. I know there are more precise ways to measure dimensional accuracy, but I've always been able to print a decent benchy and calibration cube. Actual applications have been less successful.

  • Liberals and fascists must both defend capital even when doing so is in direct conflict with their stated aims.

    They are on the same team.

  • As long as the donations keep rolling in...

  • Like actual brown shirts?

  • They still federate with some instances. They're just like everyone else, but have strict rules about not being a jerk.

  • I feel you, but the reality is probably more like "Project Manager said I need to save 13 more cents on materials or he'll murder my children, so if I move the oil filter from this nice easy to access location and remove the lip that catches any drippage it'll get us there."

    90% of the time it's the bosses.

  • It's almost like brain damage makes people more reactionary. I wonder if there's a lesson there.
