  • I don't think these really are the scare monger pieces you're trying to frame them as. Both articles are very much so about some idiot teenagers printing and bringing 3d printed weapons to school. Police would have seized any tools the kids had been using to produce these items because thats how evidence collection works. Even your story from last month hinges around the items being found in a school.

    Don't get me wrong there are legitimate threats to 3d printing as a technology with proposed legistation in some US states aimed at curtailing 3d printed "ghost guns". That fundamentally misunderstand the technology and instead are attempting to enforce a censorship mechanic that is entirely unfeasible. But these articles just arent an outcrop of the same kind of thing, IMO

  • exactly, these is not a "ThEyRE cOMinG FeR OuR PRinTERs!" stories. these are a couple of "some idiot teenagers in italy got caught making crappy plastic 'weapons' and bringing them to school to sell or show off to other idiot teenagers and a couple of news agencies picked it up cause it'll generate clicks" stories.

  • I mean, they seized the printers the kids used to make the weapons as evidence in the investigation, thats just how that works and has nothing to do with the fact that they're 3d printers specifically. if they were using any kind of tool or material to produce the weapons, those tools would be seized as part of regular evidence collection.

  • It helps once you have the emotional maturity and skills to contextualize your own dysfunctions and divergences as such. Even with a diagnosis on the early side, everything I do wrong or fail to execute on is inherently still, and always will be, my fault.

  • Not really with decent reading comprehension. Even if you’ve never heard of the series, there are enough context and grammatical clues here to make exact sense of the words as written.
