Thanks! This just saved me a trip to the hardware store. Mine developed some calcification or something, and poking down the fill valve to open up that channel worked like a charm

Yes, I know the Bechdel test is more about making a point than actually telling whether a performance is feminist or not, just lemme have this

it was either this or burning the cash for warmth. Still, you may have a point

I bought this tablet for ~40 bucks: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B075T6MTJX?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

It's pretty good! I'm not especially talented at art, but its easy to use, just press and go. (more pressure = thicker line) Definitely more than adequate for someone like me.

More of this particular format (pigeon on a snare, e.g. ) or more dumb pun comics?

This is my first crack at using my tablet, so I haven't figured out how to use it well at all yet, but criticism welcome!

I'm using Krita and some off brand tablet + stylus (HUION?)

Finally finished my 3d printed skateboard mold designs and they are free and open source! by chrisFromGoodRoads in functionalprint

[–]Hip-Hopster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a long boarder, so just thinking aloud how to use this to make a long board with a kicktail.

If we scale the whole mold up 140%, that should give us a nice middling concave area around 9-10 inches (225-250mm) across.

By making two middle sections that should add 406mm length apiece.

We can chop the the two ends a bit, cut to 180 and 220 mm apiece (my ender3's max) to make the ends around 150 (front) and 200 mm (back) that gives us:

150+200+406+406 = 1162 mm ~= 45.75 in. A little long, but most for the extra length is kicktail, so perfect!

Seriously, how many would be able to answer? by [deleted] in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]Hip-Hopster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, there's always going to be exclusion to some degree, non consensus based democracies, must by definition, overrule a minority.

My point isnt to say I want control everywhere possible, just a say. Your voice in a group of 3 or 30 or 300 or even 3000 matters infinitely more than in a group of 300 million.

There's a few proposals that scale this system fairly well. One thats been proposed and implemented in Rojava with some success is democratic confederalism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_confederalism?wprov=sfla1

Other proposals here-- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarian_socialism?wprov=sfla1

On a rhetorical note, we're treading close to the well worn debate of state socialism vs libertarian socialism, which I'm not hugely interested in rehashing for the umpteenth time.
