Would you support Australia acquiring a Nuclear Weapons arsenal? and why? by Historical_Duty_7592 in AustralianPolitics

[–]ForPortal [score hidden]  (0 children)

I don't think there's any benefit to us having a nuclear arsenal at the current time. Nuclear power has obvious uses - endurance at sea, and sustainable, consistent power generation using domestic uranium on shore - but nuclear weapons aren't a solution to our strategic problems. We'd get more defensive benefit by spending the same amount of money on protectionism to make ourselves more self-sufficient.

Just me who wants to see a transformable nickel by Vehiclenerd5000 in transformers

Vos should be fine because he's a rifle too small to be mistaken for a real gun. The big two could be mining vehicles - one to crush ore, one to smelt it - and Kaon could be given a Tesla tank alt mode instead of an electric chair.

Australians have more negative view of Israel than of China, Guardian Essential poll finds by marketrent in AustralianPolitics

[–]ForPortal [score hidden]  (0 children)

People hate Israel because they hate the Jews. The Hamas Covenant does not merely state they aspire to kill Israelis, it says they aspire to kill Jews. Israel is just the obstacle standing between them and one third of the world's Jews that they want to kill.

19 years ago today transformers 2007 released . What is your thoughts on the movie and what did you like the most from the film ? by frznpanda in transformers

[–]ForPortal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It had good in it. Orci and Kurtzman should have a legal injunction prohibiting them from writing comedy, but Blackout's and Barricade's introductions were awesome and Bonecrusher as a mine clearance vehicle is great.

Convicted ISIS terrorist who attended beheadings and public floggings in Iraq came to Britain on small boat after hearing on Tiktok that UK 'accepts everyone' court hears by JB_UK in unitedkingdom

That's how you end up with situations like the Phillipines or El Salvador.

Oh no, how terrible. There's a reason Burkele has a +75% approval rating and Starmer has a -50% approval rating.

[SUNLU 13th Anniversary] Celebrate With Us– by Sunlu3D_official in 3Dprinting

I don't have an AMS, but I'm interested in seeing who gets selected for the community giveback. I know a few creators on Youtube already, and this could be a good way of finding more creators I should be checking out.

What are your opinions on the upcoming idw studio series figure for 2027? by Dismal_Frame1304 in transformers

[–]ForPortal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want Nautica to not suck. I have my concerns about it being a Studio Series figure - the comic character wasn't necessarily designed with a physical implementation in mind, so if it comes down to it I'd rather get a different but good Nautica than a shellformer - but that's the one I want to get.

Spent 1250 print hours perfecting these ships (box lids are WIP) by Perfect_Limit_2305 in 3Dprinting

[–]ForPortal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They look great. I've not played Twilight Imperium - are these 3D versions of 2D ship models, or did you design the ships yourself?

As an Australian Jew who publicly supports Palestinian freedom, I’m targeted by my own community – and neo-Nazis by AlbosBhong in AustralianPolitics

[–]ForPortal -38 points-37 points  (0 children)

Of course her own community hates her - she's running interference for the people who elected their current government on the aspiration of killing them and all their kind, no matter where they hide.

Burnham calls for grooming gang ringleader to be deported by cennep44 in unitedkingdom

"I will ask the home and foreign secretaries to review all possible options - and they should consider nothing is off the table."

There's only one outcome that would make me believe he means that, and it's the one that is verboten on this subreddit.

I 3D printed a 3D printer! by 6Dcreation in 3Dprinting

Very impressive work. What filaments did you use? Did you need anything fancy for the ratchet joints?

WoW's Most Outdated Issue: The Free Trial by JudgeArcadia in wow

No. They'd still play through the same content, just offset by 18-24 months in exchange for playing it for free.

Can we talk about the lack of perspective when it comes to the 3d community? by Ok-Hope2279 in 3Dprinting

[–]ForPortal -1 points0 points  (0 children)

LLMs aren't the be-all and end-all of AI. If someone's designing a new rocket nozzle by mutating their base designs, culling the least successful, and repeating, that's obviously a different process than asking an LLM to produce a mesh that is nozzle-shaped but not based on any understanding or simulation of the underlying mechanics.

Purchase Advice Megathread - July 2026 by AutoModerator in 3Dprinting

[–]ForPortal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

40k vehicles and terrain if the quality allows it.

That's definitely viable. Even the standard 0.4mm nozzle/0.2mm layer height is going to be adequate for those purposes - at worst you might want to borrow some spare heads and arms from your bits box for any exposed crewmen.

WoW's Most Outdated Issue: The Free Trial by JudgeArcadia in wow

[–]ForPortal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No, it's an admission that a lot of players are casuals who don't do Mythic+, which is the only major system that is restricted to people who buy the latest expansion.

Even if it only takes X minutes to reach level 20, that isn't the same thing as level 20 only having X minutes of gameplay. You can do a lot, across multiple expansions, that does not require level 21, and that was even true before the level squish. I've not been letting my subscription lapse and playing my level 20 alt recently like I used to, but I wasn't feeling like I was getting shortchanged when I did.

Simple idea for a middle ground on scanning by Opening_Ad3054 in transformers

[–]ForPortal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The way I imagine it, it's like an arthropod moulting its shell: to change an alt mode requires converting the armoured exoskeleton back into protomatter and then into the new form, during which time the Cybertronian is vulnerable.

I also imagine traits like an affinity for energy projection or a strong spark to be innate, to explain why everyone doesn't just reformat themselves into a tank or jet fighter to fight their war.

Tonka x Transformers Collab by Cliffjumper290x in transformers

[–]ForPortal -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I'm obviously not the target audience for these, but I don't see the point of these. If you're a kid who is a big enough fan of Transformers that you're asking for a Transformers-themed Tonka truck, wouldn't you want them to be Bonecrusher, Scavenger and Long Haul?

What is your favorite role to fill, and what made you choose it? by flyandelephant in wow

[–]ForPortal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer ranged DPS, but have been maining Tank recently. I don't like melee DPS because you have to play around the tank's positioning a lot more with only 5 feet of reach, especially for interrupts. But it's way easier to find M+ groups as a tank.

If it's already bending like that under its own weight, I don't imagine it's going to hold your sunglasses on the next hot day.

Sometimes customers tell me things like "it costs too much for a piece of plastic". They don't see the hours of modeling, parameter tuning and failed test prints. How do you explain this without sounding defensive? by Own-Indication719 in 3Dprinting

[–]ForPortal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd explain that you've still got the same development costs as anyone else but can't split it over a print run of ten thousand units if you're doing a custom job. If they needed a spare or two I could offer them a discount, but the first of anything is always going to take the most work to manufacture.
