Another unsurprising TACO Tuesday.

If it counts, One of my friends in college had a bedslinger mish mash of like 4 different printers cobbled together to make a sort of bastard child prusa i3 equivalent. It actually made decent quality prints although it was pretty slow. That’s about as open source as you can get.

India will never buy American oil because American producers cannot meet the costs of Russian oil. It costs too much to lift oil here and too much to ship that far, and Russian crude is still at a discount overall due to sanctions.

They will wear faster being on (accumulating capacitor and electron gun power-on hours) than they do turning on and off. They are not like a hard drive where there are mechanical components that wear faster during start and warmup, they are primarily solid state electronics that care only about power on hours.

Yes always turn off CRT’s when idle. They (typically) have no sleep mode like a LCD does, when they are on the tube is firing and all the capacitors are charged regardless of display input.

US only denouncing it because it happened to hit one of their fossil fuel allies.

Oracle just announced a huge $300bn deal with openAI to provide cloud computing services.

all it took was a slight disruption to the circus supply to cause complete societal upheaval. Crazy

Yeah tbh. And it aligns better with the concept of sexuality/gender being more of a spectrum than rigidly designated buckets.

Yeah but the business is still operating, right? No matter that it’s ruining the work quality of those who are left, if things are still working then it means you can cut that position. So much efficiency of the open market!

All of a sudden gun control sounds good to the fascists. Very very weird.

sorry best we can do is hate brown and trans people

That’s just a Prusa pricing problem though. Check out snapmaker U1. It’s a 4 toolhead system coming in under the x1c price point.

Its not even political at all. It was just dumb corporate blandness that defeats the purpose of the restsurant’s image. Conservatives made it political because their CEO happens to be a woman.

I 3d printed a hair comb that’s been my daily use comb for like 8 months now.

I’ve also 3d printed a gauge pod for my car (that I modeled) to hold a trans temp gauge. And since I drive every day that probably tops the list of useful prints.

4 years of a better admin won’t fix this. 40 years of good admins won’t fix this.

The real damage done was showing the world that the American system of democracy, long thought to be infalliable and a known constant of the international geopolitical sphere, was easily broken by a bunch of haphazard incompetent fascists in less than a decade. It matters not who is in charge anymore because it could flip on a dime at any second with no warning.

The US cannot be trusted unless its government collapses and is reformed in a different, more stable manner.

Here before orban goes “ZOMG THEY ATRACKING EU STATES SANCTION THEM!! 1!1!!”

Actually I think I meant to write “arent worth shit” but had a tired brain fart

Remember: Gold value as measured in USD is not entirely gold increasing in value, it isalso the USD losing its purchasing power internationally.

Gradual descent into the economic boiling pot.

Black Friday sales aren’t shit anymore, I waited until last black Friday and no good drives ever went on more than like $5 discount.

With all drives being imported and tarriffs in the US being a total shitshow you should buy ASAP.
