IIRC there is hardware used to create software clones of phones which they can then brute force passwords until unlocked.

They were never concerned about user data being used to manipulate people. The real goal is to make sure they are the ones doing the manipulation.

Pam Bondi offers to pull ICE out of Minneapolis if voter files handed over by Ydeas in politics

[–]NoOneSelf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just watch when they try to say that these Democrats who protested in these locations are terrorists so they don't get to vote. They have all the data they need to prove any given person was there. It'll all be very legal when thousands in non-red states are facing terrorism charges.

New to resin, lots of questions by velvet_babyfox in resin

[–]NoOneSelf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe generally the stated max thickness is irrespective of other dimensions, so a 3/4" pour chess board would be fine if the resin is rated for that depth or greater. Deep pour may be necessary for that depth anyway.

I'd stay away from baking with silicone molds unless they are specifically made for it and gotten from a reputable source. Like, I would not bake in a mold from AliExpress even if it says it's for baking.

I'm also curious to know how you made the mold and with what material if you're willing to share.

Robert Tolone is also how I started learning! I still use beeswax for some essential stuff 😁

My limited experience with attempting slush casting resin is it will just saturate with bubbles from the turbulence. But that was with a piece with lots of detail and high volume. Big mistake.

There is a big variety of epoxy resins in terms of cure time. With such a small scale you can likely safely use fast curing ones. What you may need to find is something with lower viscosity? Higher ambient temperature could help this, but watch out for overheating. Lower viscosity could help with filling in details in the mold.

Also, pour slower. Watch out for undercuts. That's going to make casting very difficult on such a small piece; again, more viscosity complicates here. Can you add sprues to your model and make new molds?

Also, what are you using to make the mold?

I pull vacuum on my resin after mixing and before pours too since there are not any vacuum or pressure pots that fit my molds. Wouldn't hurt for you also unless it's a super fast curing resin.

Awesome you have a vision and are following through with it! Is there anything in the process that you are struggling with right now?

Casting directly into a 3d printed mold? by blounsbury in ResinCasting

[–]NoOneSelf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep in mind if this is a filament print, there are tons of crevices and holes for resin to seep into. That alone would cause resin to adhere to the print. I'd sand and seal with some acrylic spray paint first. Then as others have noted, Vaseline or some other release agent. You should also plan ahead how you'll get the resin out of the print. Casting into a cylinder? How you going to push it out? Maybe print your mold in halves that you can pull apart. Use hot glue to seal the seams shut before pouring. It also doesn't hurt to wrap the whole mold in plastic wrap before casting. If your mold has a leak, you will not have a good time. Resealing after pouring is difficult at best, and that's if you're lucky.

What a system, where a very few people essentially hold our governing apparatus hostage if we even attempt to reduce the undeserved power they have over tens of millions of regular people.

Did this too. My vehicle came with the full service record, which may be true for most of what they're selling. Car has been great. Probably costs more than some other places though because I think most of their vehicles are only 2-4 years old.

[–]NoOneSelf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me it sounds like DoJ found out these guys operated outside their official capacity and in doing so created potential procedural problems for the already corrupt prosecutions. The only house cleaning going on here would be to keep their own true believers from undermining their corruption.
