I do believe that Republicans have a higher ratio of blondes and cat haters. Not sure if those things are attractive.

Thank you! That looks awesome!
Thank you for sharing! I talked to a friend about 3d printing on Tuesday, saw the cardboard cutter here Wednesday, and then ordered my first printer that afternoon. My Ankermake M5c arrives Tuesday. I’m super excited but i know nothing, so these ‘how I got started’ posts are very encouraging. I see people talk about Tinkercad. How is it? As someone who is completely new and not a tech person, is that the easiest place to start? Once i get the hang of printing patterns i find online, i want to make scary face parts for a pumpkin (think Mr. Potato Head) and spiral notebook covers with funny sayings. It doesn’t matter how bad the pumpkin face parts are - they’re just going on my porch for a couple of weeks and meant to look weird. I think the only hard part on the notebook covers will be getting the spiral holes correct and getting 20 made by Christmas for my coworkers. Sorry for rambling - I’m just excited and clueless and found your share encouraging. If i make a post asking people to share pics of their first items/ideas, would that be annoying?
Oh that’s a good idea. I should have checked there. Bought the ankermake m5c for 339 including 15# of material and accessories.
I looked at prusa and pretty quickly realized that I couldn’t afford them.
I ordered the m5c. I got the printer, 13 lb of material, and some accessories for $339. Can’t wait to make some Braille Play-Doh presses.
I work with kids with significant disabilities who we keep in public school until they’re age 22. They do unskilled jobs and volunteer ‘work’ and safety is a big concern. If there are five students and one teacher at a table, a plastic device that automatically measures and has a hidden blade is going to be much better for them than scissors or box knives. Yes, we do need to teach children to safely use everyday items and for most kids that’s fine, but there are some for whom ‘just do it my way’ doesn’t work. Your life experience may not be the same as that of other people. Teach generally, but make space for the individual.
Do I need the M5 or can I get away with the m5c? I really know nothing about it or how much material things need. I just want to make cool things. How much filament did your cardboard cutter require?
I’ve been thinking about getting a 3D printer. Well, yesterday I decided I need a 3D printer. I know nothing at all. What should I get?
Awesome! Is that a real device that’s available for sale? Those would be good school or scout projects to donate to animal shelters.
I thought that said talking shit and i was confused. Then i reread it and now I’m more confused.
I felt that a lot when i was on antidepressants - like a tiny ant on a little trail just doing my thing until I’m done, then poof. I like thinking that in 120 years the whole earth will have entirely different people. We’re just dusty blips.
I think it might be kind of nice to be Tom Hanks and have the name WilsonsOnlyFriend@lemmy.world and just chat and chill.
There’s a guy named Bill Bass that you might enjoy reading about. He has some books about the ‘body farm’ in Tennessee, where they study body decomposition in different situations.
I don’t work in tech and I’m not a video game player. Am i a normie? I stay on Facebook because of the things you mentioned - i want to know how my old aunt is doing, get the link to my cousin’s music performances, see what play or concert is showing this weekend, and post to my neighborhood when my dogs escape. I only used Twitter to follow local bars, restaurants, and music venues for happy hours and event info. That kinda died with covid so i closed my Twitter account. I don’t really understand influencers. I’d love to see more local content here but I’m not sure we have the people to support it. I guess the way to start is to share the local info i get from Facebook to the Texas and dfw communities here, but that doesn’t draw more people. Among my friends, r/ is sort of made fun of as something their husbands follow for jokes, memes, and boobs.
I had the thought because of a friend’s asshole husband who says things like, “Why can’t they have their own bathroom and sports?” or “how did they get two of them on the school board?” or “why do they all come to this wal-mart?”
I didn’t notice it was there until i saw this article.
We stopped by with plans to wear a mask in, grab some beers, and then sit outside to drink them. Approached, saw this, decided to skip it.
That’s what hurts so much! The people on the street and the images on tv are so wildly different. In most cases - there’s a bar in Harper that’s probably best to just avoid.
I watched a couple of webinars this week on assistive tech. I had used Look to Speak before, but just learned about Activity Blocks. Also, you can apparently use Google lens on text for difficulty reading cursive or fonts, zoom in, and text to speech (though i can’t get that one to work for me.)
