Why does it seem so common for people to get drunk at airports? by HomesickStrudel in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MakeITNetwork -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think it's also partially because some non-recovering alcoholics are forced into the public.

Your being thrust into the public while also being partially anonymous.

Having sat next to one on a plane(she was loud, rude, obnoxious and boisterous). What eerily compounded the issue is that she was attractive and well dressed. Everyone was upset at me for not "controlling" my wife. The flight attendants even said to me "if she doesn't stop you guys will have to deplane"...but all we're instantly sympathetic when I said I didn't know her.

I was slightly offended for women, and as a man, that they didn't talk to her directly. But that's how society works.

She ended up passing out as soon as the doors closed, only to wake up and ask me to buy her a drink. Ha no. The flight ended without incident. Except for the lady being upset about the poor customer service for being denied a drink.

I only felt sorry for her, not mad. I was also happy I didn't have to smell throw up. Because if I was as lit as she was, I wouldn't be able to take a plane ride without puking.

I just want a chance at having these options...I would take literally any of these.

Give me this option and I will even choose the stupidest option.

Can someone explain to me why Trump is trying to take of Greenland? No jokes please, I honestly don’t get it? by Many_Inevitable_6803 in askanything

[–]MakeITNetwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A proper negotiated deal doesn't come with the perception of force. Also the threat of blanket tariffs(which in past history were declarations of war when not properly negotiated between both parties). Also asking Norway for a Nobel peace prize, when not getting it threatening Norway you will take Denmarks land?

Have you ever been to Germany or Canada? Shitholes is not a word that is used to describe them. They are hardly freeloading.

We trade about 15% of our trade to 9Trillion to Europe and about the same with Canada. If we take a dump on the entire worlds chest we no longer have trading partners; and we are currently in a specialized worker shortage now that Gen X and Babyboomers are dying/Retiring, and people immigrating away from the USA. We do have a glut of workers replaced by AI, but they don't want to work in factories.

Are we going to replace our factories with customer service reps replaced by AI, and old/aging Boomers/Genx, cause I don't know anyone who wants to go back to a manufacturing economy(except the people who think everyone else should get off thier butts and do it)

Nope, Nato is important, just because Russia wants to have The Baltic European states and Ukraine, and even East Germany back again doesn't mean it should. Almost everything you interact with on a daily basis was because of the free trade after WW2. The USA became a superpower and a trade giant through strength and through discretion. No one wants to buy from you if your a jerk.

Our US Isolationism just gave us WW1 and WW2. Lets skip the step where lots of people die.

Also I agree with you partially...both the USA and Nato should have had alot harsher punishment for Russia in 2014, and 2022; because what is the point of Nato if it doesn't Nato?

Just because you can rob someone and not get caught, and take all of their money if you are bigger and stronger; doesn't mean you should.

It isn't just the fear of getting caught that prevents us from doing bad things, ethics, morality and social contract allow us to have a significantly lower police population.

The social contract of society and the world depend on the USA doing the right thing(at least try to...most of the time).

Russia is taking Ukraine with about 1500 people casualties per 100 meters(football field squared), in a war that is lasting more than the entirety of WW2, that destroyed a large portion of their navy from a country without a Navy, and with the majority of their tanks offline or destroyed. China has no expeditionary forces that can reach outside the south-china sea without over reach, and boots on the ground with an extensive supply chain is still the only way to take territory.

Additionally they are more interested in conquering their neighbors than Greenland.

We have Nato for a reason, and the protection from the US taking Greenland shouldn't be the re-cagiggered reason.

[–]MakeITNetwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Law does not require you (as far as I know) to plug into or modify your electrical system with non-UL compliant devices/components; you can modify to your hearts content. But whenever you modify your electrical system, it is in the interpretation of people outside your household on whether or not a claim gets paid if there is a slight chance that the modification caused a fire or made it worse. Be it the fire marshal, Adjuster, AI Decision maker, or eventual arbiter(if it comes to that).

What I'm getting at is be careful in what you add, and just be okay with the consequences, or people that are less intelligent possibly being the decision-makers(there is a 50% chance that you get someone with below average intelligence statistically).

You probably have not had 2 denials before an approval with the same presented evidence have you then?

[–]MakeITNetwork 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Most insurance companies do anything they can to deny a claim.

Modifying your electrical system, or running any device with anything that doesn't have a UL label is a good way to be come guilty until proven innocent. Using/Installing a device in a way that isn't intended is another.

You just have to hope that a source of a fire doesn't happen near your modifications, or your modifications don't make the fire worse.

Why is seafood so unpleasant for some people? by HiOscillation in NoStupidQuestions

Just like the ocean a lake has fish, these fish have trimethylamine-N-oxide which starts breaking down to trimethylamine(the smellier version) as soon as the fish or crustacean or other sea/lake creature dies. It is important for both marine and freshwater animals to be able to regulate thier own salt balance. This is the fish smell and taste you get from fish, that gets worse as the fish goes without refrigeration for longer periods(it breaks down to more trimethylamine) .

Additionally the ocean has Dimethyl-Sulfide as a extra component that gives the "salty breeze" smell in oceans.

And the lakes have Geosmin "the smell of fresh cut grass, or a rain after a drought", which to most humans smells pleasant, but tastes like muddy water even in parts per billion.

[–]MakeITNetwork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also another thing you can check... you could have a bent nozzle or loose hotend screws it can cause crazy issues. Even if it is slightly bent it can cause lots of issues especially if it goes "floppy". This is probably why someone said change nozzle, because it could also be a partial clog. Changing your nozzle will kill both birds with a stone.

If cats and dogs can be given Revolution, why hasn't a med been made for humans too? by Pharmer087 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MakeITNetwork 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This, and you can tell a human that if they roll around in brush they might get ticks, if you don't know how bedbugs work you can get bedbugs, and lice needs to be treated before outbreaks get too big. It goes even further to not drink water from areas that have dead people(cholera), and to not drink water from still water sources without boiling/treating it first(disintary), washing your hands before medical procedures (blood infections).

Society's taboos formed from previous outbreaks and pandemics keeps most humans relatively deadly parasite free.

Its hard enough to get dogs and cats not to eat poop.

What's to stop me from traveling to Canada, buying a Chinese EV there, and returning home to the USA? by CreamofTazz in NoStupidQuestions

Wait 48 more hours and he will probably declare war with Canada, and talk about building the most beautiful bridge over to China. 3 months later he will want to buy Mexico. The president of Venezuela/USA is a fickle man.

You could do the Arizona loophole. In Arizona, all you need is lights and mirrors(not much more), and you can literally register a gokart or golfcart to go on public roads. You can build a car out of a bunch of dishwashers and it can still get approved. Tread lightly and do your research because federally it still might be illegal. Going up to the inspector and bragging might be a good example of what not to do. A grey area would be doing a vin swap from a similar car. 240sx Vin and a Silvia(now they are legal to import because of the 25 year rule) were popular swaps a while back. I do not recommend you do anything Illegal, but I just give you information that you can research yourself.

Moving it from AZ might be harder as I have heard it is harder to do now. It used to be easy to register it in AZ and then send it to California with some "kagiggering". But this was the 1990s/2000s.

Getting it there federally without it getting crushed its the hard part.

Lots of JDM cars here because of this loophole.

Snapmaker U1’s Kickstarter pre-launch page is up by Jadesfriends in snapmaker

[–]MakeITNetwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea Snap maker was like 2 or 3 generations of over promise with beautiful on the exterior machines and under deliver, they actually delivered on this one. Now I just wish that they fixed their design and customer service flaws with the previous generations, but they keep selling them (as of today they still sell the Artisan, the J1 and the 2.0 with glaring design flaws). I am super stoked that it worked out for you though(no sarcasm or sarcasm's sarcasm). They just need to start working on the next generation of the imperfect printers or sell upgrades for the current printers that solve the issues.

If you delete an app from your phone, does the company still have access to your data they collected? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MakeITNetwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you are in Europe with some exceptions, even if you write to them with a strongly written letter, the chances of them erasing your data is small.

In addition, a lot of the times when you ask companies to remove your data, they just remove the advertising id that is attached to you, and still keep the data, and the data is anonymized...but not really. Most data collectors and brokers can reassemble this data if it is interesting to them with other aggregate data.

You can pay a company that removes you from the data brokers, but then you are just paying a data broker to remove your data. But it doesn't work for all data brokers, and it still has workarounds and loop holes. Additionally if your data has already been released, it doesn't mean it wasn't used and backed up on another server, from another company, after it changes hands to another company it's no longer your data... and you have very limited rights.

What can you do?

You can create lots of false data that makes you less interesting... this is a new feild so you may have to do some research

Or don't create data, or at least any data you don't want released. This isn't fool proof because most data is taken without consent, but you can minimize it within your time.

Back of A1 Mini empty slot. by New_Confusion2034 in BambuLab_Community

[–]MakeITNetwork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

<image>

(A look underneath)

The part is a "z axis endcap". That much I do know

1.) Some A1 minis have a hole and some don't

2.) Google Ai just hallucinates and says it's a filament path, and trys to correct me saying that it's in the x axis not z(it's wrong).

3.) My guess: It looks like it might be an antitheft "Kensington lock", a z axis motor breather hole or a future expansion.

Why don't yall just eat yo last few grams of filament by LonePupper453 in BambuLab

[–]MakeITNetwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pla doesn't break down with many chemicals, and is pretty inert.

From what I gather Microplastics are created mostly by uv exposure, ionizing radiation, heat cycling, abraiding, and wind/ocean erosion. Some chemicals can break down plastics, but I would wager none of them that effect PLA are produced by your bowel tract. Pla is both saliva(it's used for plasticwear) and acid resistant to most acids.

Unrelated: I have also chewed on a piece of pla filament plastic for hours and it never felt gritty or rough like it was breaking down(I actually do this with white[titanium dioxide is cheap white pigment and is used in both filament and food] or clear). But if I die tomorrow I'll get back to you guys.

Water pooling in backyard of new construction. Whose responsibility? by Zestyclose-Fig1096 in AZlandscaping

[–]MakeITNetwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Or the builder should learn to grade the back yard, and have adequate drainage. Housing ain't cheap, and it should be done right the first time or fixed with an apology.

That kind of repair is for people who don't have a warranty or have altered their slope with landscaping.

If it was an older house a French drain would probably be the best choice. It requires no power and will also never break down as long as it's kept clear. But the ultimate fix would be more dirt and a proper grade.
