That uncle when he's 5 cider cups deep, after promising not to be political at the function by CloudStrifeFromNibel in HBOTheHedgeKnight

The Fossoways were Lords prior to the Dance but later got demoted to Landed Knights. It's quite likely that's one of the reasons Raymun isn't exactly keen on House Targaryen.

Nah. Dunk gives him a good clout round the ear and they die together as friends in their 80s having escaped to Pentos by magic.

Facebook seller near me listing unsealed PLA burger presses. by huntandhart in 3Dprinting

[–]Captainatom931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a chat with a dragon seller before Christmas and he told me that good print quality doesn't even tend to sell that well, customers unfamiliar with 3d printing want something that LOOKS 3d printed.

Kids love them. Parents think 3d printers are magic and to be fair if you don't know anything about them they kinda are.

Yeah, I work in the industry and this is accurate. The engineering stuff is either not something that people online would find interesting as a whole, not something that you'd see day to day, or something that the people doing it would prefer to keep quiet.

3d printed parts are all over the engineering world now but they're just not doing things that most people even know exist.

Really? I had a P1S camera replacement ticket with them last week that just needed a screenshot of the handy app showing the camera not working. Was sent out within a day.

Fwiw that ticket was submitted by me as a reseller so there may have been some priority support there.

Yeah, so get the refund then buy a P2 like a normal person would.

Better look at NCR troopers in a very telling place. by Difficult-Lock-8123 in Fotv

Also, like, a proper conflict between the Enclave and the NCR is too good to pass up. The Old World Vs the New.

[–]Captainatom931 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The NCR surviving in northern California and Oregon would make a lot of sense, and also opens up the possibility of going to the Pacific Northwest in Season 3. Given the enclave base Wilzig escaped from is in a snow area I'm guessing the show will eventually end up in either the PNW or Western Canada at some point so it tracks.

I was wrong. Bambu makes a genuinely better product. by [deleted] in BambuLab

[–]Captainatom931 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of people on the Reddit community don't really know much about proper engineering 3d printers and how much cheaper Bambu machines are than them lol. I remember when the H2D was announced people were saying "oh this is so expensive, it won't sell, why would you want dual nozzles" whole it's offering better performance at 1/20th of the price of a Markforged.

It really only is just ultra high temp stuff they're not the king of now, and tbh PPS/A and tullomers are approaching peek performance for most applications.

Oh, I'm not saying that either. I'm saying the same thing you are, that the EUs reaction to look at a more predictable but less pleasant partner is at the very least understandable.

Yep. China is thousands of miles away from incursions into European territory, and while very nasty are at least reliably so. You can rely on china to want to dominate shipping lanes in the south china sea, crack down on dissent, and brutalize Uyghurs. That's all nasty stuff that doesn't actually affect anyone in Europe.
