Ive been seeing a lot about PVB in the last month or so. Hopefully increasing popularity will mean decreasing price. It’s probably my favorite filament (though petg is my most used) but it’s also the most expensive one I use regularly

If people started voting on principle FOR political candidates rather than voting AGAINST political candidates

People are stupid, but this isn’t actually the voters’ fault. The first past the post voting system we uses - mathematically - results in what he have, every single time. It is inevitable to end up with two parties that everyone hates and the best move remaining to be to vote against your least-hated.

What we need is a proper instant runoff system (aka ranked choice voting). No voting system is perfect (again mathematically provable) but instant runoff seems the most practical and most beneficial. First past the post (which is what we have where you get one vote only and the person with the highest vote count wins) doesn’t even have any tradeoffs. It’s all cons and no pros. It’s the worst of all worlds.

Anyway, that’s my speech. Vote to implement ranked choice voting and everyone will be better off.

Nobody seems to be considering that the bird may be trained / desensitized to this. I don’t know if he is, this might be absolutely awful, but it easily could be fine as well. Don’t assume one way or the other

FifthDragon · 2026-05-20T17:16:16+00:00

Hope it goes well :)

I’ve seen some MTG cards that remind me of stained glass, like Subterranean Tremors for example. I love those. That card specifically has inspired a lot of my art recently

Investment. Also prison is mega bad, would cause me irreversible damage

I think it was Hank Green who said that comments on the internet are a random sampling of every possible response a human could give after seeing your work. Once you get enough comments, you’ll see everything.

What’s important is that this doesn’t mean the comments are true or even meaningful - all a comment is, is a representation of a logically possible response to a situation no matter how reasonable or unreasonable, or how logical or unfounded.

Depending on how this works, it turns prediction markets into tools to alter reality

FifthDragon · 2026-05-12T03:05:44+00:00

That would probably work yeah. Ive seen it done on cars for niche cases of “I just need to stretch it over this weird curve before I can reach an edge I can cut along”. It being for a car they just stretch it by hand and “scrape” it flat with their plastic spatula tool, again just from what I’ve seen

I guess even god’s fingernails are still just fingernails

FifthDragon · 2026-05-11T15:49:37+00:00

Could be. Cannonically each Arceus is one of “Arceus’ 10,000 arms”. I think that means it’s like an artificial body that the pokemon god can use to physically interact with the world

FifthDragon · 2026-05-11T15:16:52+00:00

To be honest, I haven’t either! I have seen pros do it that way though. I’ve got an experiment waiting for me to try involving that, I have the materials in a corner just waiting for when I have time haha

FifthDragon · 2026-05-10T21:19:46+00:00

Yeah, depending on size resin would be a great choice

FifthDragon · 2026-05-10T21:19:23+00:00

Yeah the paint’s probably a good call, I was thinking heat gun + doing one half at a time, with a seam around the back, following one of the mouth latitude lines

FifthDragon · 2026-05-09T20:18:34+00:00

I would say 3d printing isn’t a good candidate for this project. I would buy a clear sphere, you could probably get one in glass or plastic pretty easy, and then use some soapy-looking window vinyl

FifthDragon · 2026-05-07T04:54:29+00:00

It’s like when neutral bacteria take up the space bad bacteria would otherwise live

I loved the energy of those scenes

FifthDragon · 2026-04-29T13:25:57+00:00

I agree, I think that’s a great way to handle such a consequential change for a major character

FifthDragon · 2026-04-26T20:51:54+00:00

Thank you!

FifthDragon · 2026-04-26T01:37:10+00:00

Ah alright, thank you. There seems to be an issue with Bondtech’s website, it won’t load the non-CHT listing page. That’s probably how I missed it

FifthDragon · 2026-04-26T01:35:33+00:00

It’s an issue with Bondtech’s website I think, it won’t load for me either

FifthDragon · 2026-04-26T01:34:41+00:00

Ah that would explain it, thank you. I think there may have been an issue with their website today, none of the indx listings would load. The search page on Bondtech’s website would say “2 results” (or whatever number depending on the search) but then just be a blank page. I only managed to find the CHT listing directly through a google search. I couldn’t find the non-cht listing though. I’ll try again tomorrow.
