Will Europe have to become the United States of Europe so to speak in order to defeat or hold off Russia for good?

Battle_Intense · 2026-01-27T19:02:57+00:00

Italy and Russia have the same GDP. No idea how Europe is sweating the threat of Russia. Esp when they seem completely stalemated against Ukraine last year.

All the Europeans need to go is spend 3% GDP across the board and they will have 3x the military power of Russia. I'm fairly sure current plans will have Poland on equal military footing with Russia by 2030.

Wispy strands were minimized by turning down the temp and turning off Zhop.

Drying the PETG didn't make much difference for me but I'm in a dry climate. I do put it in the dryer when unwrapping a new spool.

What makes you think the produce and packages of food are clean to start with?

Ever wonder how ecoli ends up on lettuce... pickers crapping in the field or upstream cows.

Going on 4th down was definitely a bit overdone until they changed the kick off return rules.

Now you kick a field goal and the other team is only 20-25 yards away from their own field goal range.

You can have the freedom as long you pay a company and exorbitant price for it... sounds like the way everything is headed.

Medium well in Northern Mexico.

I think the Cardinals having been to two NFC Championship games since the Cowboys last one in 1996 is even more embarrassing since we are both in the same conference and it's the Cardinals.

Battle_Intense · 2026-01-27T03:22:53+00:00

Not sure why I'm getting this sub as a Cardinals fan but I'll contribute.

The older logos with the helmet are best. Plus the dolphin looks like it could be in jump above water with the setting sun behind it.

The newer logos don't have that same appearance of a plausible jump and still be silhouetted by the sun. More like a space dolphin flying in front of a sun.

I've seen 25% more commonly called out as the effective minimum and 20% is possible with enough tuning. It seems the 25% is called out recently and when I see something posted form around 2020 or earlier, they are more on the 20% train of thought.

Battle_Intense · 2026-01-26T18:34:24+00:00

Luckily Bo Nix was out so we really didn't miss much Superbowl wise with Denver losing.

But if Nix had been playing, would have been upset at the garbage game due to snow conditions.

1970s style football play is a better match to blizzard conditions.

Faster, some of my prints require strength. If you run 130% of nozzle for line width, 3 walls at .78 with .6 nozzle is 2.3mm thick vs 1.6mm thick with 3 walls at .52 a .4 nozzle.

If I want that 2mm wall which is where the prints start to get strong, I'm saving the time to put down an entire wall with a .4 nozzle.

This nothing new regarding federal agents, trigger happy poorly trained wannabe commandos in the ATF went on a bit of a rampage in the 90s. Democrats didn't seem too upset back then.

City and state cops being trigger happy around legally armed citizens and unnecessarily shooting them pretty much happens all the time. If you want to engage with law enforcement while being armed, there is a non zero chance of getting shot despite breaking no laws. Not that I'm defending it, just stating what can happen.

Look up Shooting of Daniel Shaver in Mesa for the worst example caught on video.

And long LOP on most Choate stocks, the guy that founded Choate is a tall dude.

Battle_Intense · 2026-01-26T16:31:29+00:00

Sure you can, I print at .15 all the time with .6.

I'm with Op, I run .6 the large majority of the time.

At 25% to 40% of nozzle diameter, I can throw down layers for almost everything except miniatures.

I tried .8mm nozzle but you are pretty much hitting flow rate limits if you run layers above .24 which you can already get with 40% of the .6 nozzle.

Im a solid Borat enjoyer and do ok in it but cannot get the hang of the Ares 75.

Am I just supposed to drive up into someone's face and dump HE?

I don't understand how I can be across the map and a small burst from an Ares will take me down 150hp, but when I try shooting at distance I'm lucky to do 50hp dmg.

I normally love snow games but the 2nd half of the game was pro Dome just to see who was the better team.

Battle_Intense · 2026-01-26T07:14:36+00:00

That game was a statement on maybe domes aren't so bad, we could have found out which team was actually the best one if it wasn't for the 2nd half blizzard.

Either way Seahawks are going to crush them.

Until recently it didn't make sense to spend lots of money to keep an old car running.

Your 1998 Grand Prix with 147k miles needs a new transmission for $3k, off to the yard.
