  • Ibwoukd recommend grabbing a used Prusa MK3S or newer. Used they can often be had for half your budget, and they're damn good machines.

  • But no one does.

  • I meant this one, from earlier in this thread.

  • Then what is the unlabeled landmass at the very top left, northeast of Iceland?

  • New England is, roughly speaking, all the metacarpal states up there between New York and Maine, where the yankees you outlanders keep blaming the rest of us for being actually come from.

  • No, Wyoming is spare Colorado, if Colorado falls off we can replace it with Wyoming.

  • Given how the US border is distorted (Maine is north of the 49th parallel) I'm guessing this is one of those maps that distorts things as you move them around to keep the area constant. Like look how big Greenland looks up in the corner.

  • That make and model first flew in 1937.

  • Alaska and Hawaii aren't pictured.

  • Nothing I'm conscious of, though a lot of the names of races or peoples end in an oh or ah sound. Zora, Rito, Gerudo, Shiekah,

  • So, there's a fun fact about that related to the Zelda series. You know how the Hylian language kind of sneaks out in enemy names? Like, Stal- is a prefix meaning skeletal, -fos is a suffix meaning warrior, so a stalfos is a skeletal warrior? And a lizalfos is a lizard warrior? A stalchild is a skeletal child. -orm or -arm means worm creature, like Moldorm.

    Well, in the games prior to the N64, geld- meant desert or sand. The geldarm is a sand worm creature, the geldman is a sand man like enemy from Link to the Past. Then in Ocarina of Time there's a race of women from the desert called Gerudo. Hmm.

  • FreeCAD does have an architectural workbench. It's free software, download it and give it a try, worst case scenario you decide "this sucks" and you buy Bricscad.

  • Who've you checked with? Boomers or Zoomers?

  • With a radio control drone you, your face and your smart phone can be a quarter mile away. Plus, have you been in aerial combat? I haven't. Yet.

  • Thanks for the warning.

  • There are none of us in our 20s anymore.

  • especially when spelled with quotes.

  • Wasn't there a guy who built an AK-47 out of a shovel?

  • Is there a common quadcopter on the market capable of carrying a paintball gun or something else that can splatter lenses?
