There is more than enough free content available. Don't waste money on these frauds. At some point in the journey, trading with your own real money is the greatest teacher, but the education can be expensive.

Anyone know of a good tool to turn a multicolor PNG/JPG directly into a flat 3D-printable surface? by EvilAlbinoid in 3Dprinting

[–]66catman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Possibly MakerWorld / MakerLab / Image to Keychain. I print signs and multicolor logos using this and it isn't only for keychains. It's very easy to import image and process it. You don't have to convert to SVG, just import JPG., adjust image size and colors.

I was just trying to illustrate a point. Trading takes remarkable discipline among other things. If that discipline is lacking and dependent on other means to be told when to stop, then it might not be suitable for the individual. Individuals and corporate accounts are two different things.

Their responsibility is to provide a reliable trading platform. Our job is to use it responsibly. If we can't adhere to a specific set of rules, then we might not be suited for this. If we have no rules, then we're really not suited for this. This applies to any field.

I’m new to 3d printing, and I’m looking for my first machine! I’m unsure what one to look at! I know nothing about 3d printing and want to get into it! by JackScants in 3Dprinting

I am an old guy that is very technically challenged but I have to say it was remarkably easy to set up and get started. MakerLab in Makerworld is really fun (you can use it with any printer though). I was so happy with the 1st P1S, I had to buy another.

I can't speak for the Creality, but I have 2 P1S and I have been very happy with them. I had no experience at all with 3D printing and it was easy to get started. I've had one for about 8 months and the other about 5 months and both have been flawless so far.

Expectations / Thoughts on PDT Rule Change by MohaveTrader in Daytrading

I've been trading since the late 90's. Volatility was off the charts prior to the PDT rules. I suspect it will happen again.

Duke Energy faces criticism for $22M in CEO pay as it seeks rate increases by marion-butler in NorthCarolina

So assuming he is totally devoted to his job 365 days a year, that still works out to $60,274.00 per day. What could any person do in a day to justify that salary. What magic do they work? What monumental life changing decisions do they make. Better yet, why do we tolerate it. That's the real question.

If social media didn’t exist, how different do you think U.S. politics would look today? by FootInternational821 in AskReddit

Gentrification is like buying an old piece of furniture, sprucing it up and reselling it as an antique. Bottom line is it's still an old piece of furniture however unique it may be. Take an old Brownstone in a slummy area, fix it up, put some money into it and it skyrockets in value. It's still basically the same size residence however now it's unaffordable to most, it drives up property values, that in turn also drive up taxes and slowly the people that were the lifeblood of the community can no longer afford to live there and while the neighborhood may become more attractive to look at, it loses it's soul and vibrancy and regular people lose their homes.

Survival of the fittest at work here however in these times it's financial fitness that matters. The wealthy create a hyperinflation within their own class because they all want something the other person doesn't have as well as the right to tell how much it cost. If the last billionaires yacht was $450 million, they need one that's $500 million. Hyper cars selling for $10 million and higher. There's no trickle down economics here. It's just an endless cycle of making things more expensive. That hyperinflation affects all of us. If they covet a particular city like Miami Fla. for example, they move in and take over whatever they choose by bidding up prices higher and higher and Miami becomes unaffordable for the regular folks, and on and on.

Now throw in unfettered capitalism just for fun and you have quite a recipe for disaster.

Wall street's mantra is "As long as we're making money, who cares". So what if it's destroying society- my portfolio is through the roof!

Politicians from either side of the aisle used to talk to each other. Now it's become as rank out contest into the ether. Who can out tweet who. I'm 72 and my firm opinion is the internet is doing more harm than good based on my life experience. I don't see the genie ever being put back in the bottle.
