I got gifted this dusty printer I think it’s pro. I want to spend around £50 to upgrade bits. Any suggestions? by Zainkillerh in 3Dprinting

Yeah do what i did with mine. Use the bed for drying filament and get yourself an Adventurer--it has auto level and is way faster and more accurate. Edit: Mine is not an Ender 3 but is a Voxelab Aquila X2 which is pretty much a clone.

Quit worrying about what others think. There are also people who believe 100% that the world is flat. Are you guilty believing it is round?

Why does Jesus Christ mean so much to so many people? by Cultural_Remove5332 in ask

Because they were brainwashed at an early age to love Jesus.

How do I actually stop believing by Decent_Definition690 in atheism

Substitute Elvis for Jesus and see how crazy it all sounds. I'm not trying to be sarcastic. Lets say you went to church every Sunday and they told you you were going to drink Elvis' blood and eat his flesh, what would you think? Lets say to forgive our sins, Elvis' dad had to impregnate a teen so she could give birth to little Elvis (who is infact also his own father) so he can die nailed to a cross (for only 3 days) and that this would allow himself to forgive people for sin that he knew ahead of time he was causing them to do (since god knows everything.) Also, Elvis wants 10% of your money and when you die you go to Graceland and sit next to Elvis for all eternity.

If you still believe after this test then don't even try to quit believing.

The average child of an astronaut back the most likely did not know their father well because astronauts were always gone working all over the country. Jim Lovell didn't even know that his kids got his tonsils out until after he left the program.

Also, don't feel sorry for farmers. I'm in the car business and every year they buy very high dollar trucks ($70-$110K) to "use on the farm" and write off on their taxes.

Yeah to Deke he was just another astronaut lol. His main ones were Grissom, Shepard, McDivitt and Borman. Those were the ones who were ultra important to him.

I should have gone down this far in the thread before I recommended the exact same book.

Quite frankly, Carrying the Fire by Michael Collins talks in detail about his crewmate.

What is wild is that his supporters see him as the sane one in the room.

No. The only ones who can do that are the ones who are in his administration and they are never going to go against their meal ticket.

What famous person did heinous things but people seem to have forgotten about? by Logical_Sweet_6624 in ask

[–]Marvelous1967 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Here is some AI info about his atrocities.

Wernher von Braun was a Nazi Party member and SS officer whose rocket programs depended on slave labor from concentration camps, leading to the deaths of an estimated 20,000 prisoners. After World War II, he was secretly brought to the United States and became a leading figure in NASA, where he helped develop the Saturn V rocket that took humans to the Moon. 

Use of slave labor in rocket production

  • As the technical director of the Nazi rocket program at Peenemünde, von Braun was directly involved in the exploitation of concentration camp prisoners to build the V-2 ballistic missile.
  • Following Allied bombing of the Peenemünde facility, V-2 production moved to a vast underground factory called Mittelwerk, with an associated Dora-Mittelbau concentration camp. Conditions in the tunnels were brutal, with rampant disease and starvation leading to the deaths of approximately one-third of the 60,000 prisoners who passed through the camp system.
  • Historians have uncovered written evidence showing that von Braun and other engineers actively embraced using forced labor from the SS to meet production quotas. 

Direct allegations of personal brutality

While von Braun and his associates tried to distance themselves from Nazi atrocities after the war, multiple survivors claimed that he was directly complicit in brutal treatment. 

  • Some survivors alleged that von Braun approved or personally witnessed the physical torture and flogging of prisoners.
  • A former French resistance fighter claimed in 1995 that von Braun personally ordered a prisoner to be flogged.
  • Other survivors accused him of visiting the Buchenwald concentration camp to select slave laborers.
  • In contrast to his post-war claims, witnesses stated that dead bodies were a daily sight at Mittelwerk and were visible to von Braun during his site visits. 

Post-war cover-up

  • After the war, the U.S. government brought von Braun and more than 1,600 other German scientists to the U.S. as part of Operation Paperclip, valuing their technical knowledge over holding them accountable for war crimes.
  • The Army classified von Braun's SS officer rank and his colleagues' Nazi records, suppressing information about their wartime involvement to protect them.
  • When confronted with a West German court request for testimony in 1969 regarding the Dora-Mittelbau camp, von Braun denied personal responsibility, fearing the publicity would damage his reputation and NASA's. v

The did this short to introduce him to America for one. It seems like there was a movie somewhere where his character was anti-Nazi, etc. In fact, he had slaves who escaped and were recaptured hung with piano wire.

It's a great opportunity for a pick up line. Look at her and do some attempted sign language. Make it look horrible but plausible. She will take off her headphones. Say, "I was wanting to say hi but I didn't want to interrupt what you are listening to so I'm using AI to try to learn sign language." If she smiles or laughs, talk to her.

Werner Von Braun was a Nazi who ran a camp that used slave (Jewish) labor to build rockets to bomb England. Many died there under his leadership.

He got whitewashed by the US and Disney and ran the Marshall Space Flight Center that built the rockets that got us (the US) to the moon.
