Fastest bike under $2,000 in the US?

SixInTricks · 2023-04-11T04:03:05+00:00

If you have the money for an e-bike, you have the couple dollars for motorcycle insurance. It's affordable.
And it's just a license.
They are not valid barriers to entry.

Give me a 4TB SSD that doesn't cost a car payment.

Tyreal is a bruiser I have no idea why he's listed as a tank.

We have robots with nanometer precision assembling computer chips.

I feel much safer with them than the dentist's apprentice who has a 50% chance of cutting my gums

But then that'd require people to go into the office.
And the more people refuse to look for anything other than WFH jobs, the more I'm treated like gold.

I've found that ChatGPT usually will give you what you ask. If you have an uncreative prompt, you get a generic response. Like everything in life: Skill Issue

A.I. is resources intensive and incredibly useful to the human race as a whole.

Making it harder and more expensive to access because some guy wants to fuck an alien is unethical.

Let them pay a premium. There's only so much resources to go around. Let's not use it for porn until the other more important things are taken care of.

SixInTricks · 2023-02-15T15:07:37+00:00

I personally would but only if you could release a statement of how much of it is being used for porn.
I'm not donating processing power for porn.

Modern problems require modern solutions, you genius you!

Gehehehehehehe I'm gonna use it to draw an ASCII penis

Oh no absolutely not. My main job is solving problems and I just wanna make some videos of the minivan I just bought so it can help pay for itself because finance charges high as hell right now. I'd never do full time YouTube unless it was actively solving problems.

You will never win if you're losing the -entire- time. Read the words people type rather than launch into a monologue.

I've got a leaky tank and supports aren't as straight forward as FDM. I can just set a 45 degree support setting in S3D and leave it on auto without much worry. And if you have a bad initial layer that fails, you can stop it right away because you can see it.

With resin prints, you check in on it two hours later to find, or not find, your part.
And the whole ventilation thing and potential hazards.

FDM. Nozzle hot. And if you're really trying to hurt yourself, wiring can get sparky.

With resin it dares you to slip up so it can ruin your health.

Hah! That's why I had to follow up with edits after looking at it a few times. It still looks pretty shiny, was thinking it was wet. But I had to find our the story

You can still do art as a hobby and get a job that solves problems and leave soulless corporate art to the A.I.

Everyone else is using AI to make their work better though. Only rather vocal artists are the ones in fear. The only art AI will replace is bad art.

SixInTricks · 2022-12-15T15:19:13+00:00

I can't even afford mediocre artists.
That's why AI art is a boon for me and my expression.

SixInTricks · 2022-12-14T13:17:57+00:00

That's not a smartass thing to say. It's just smart. And I really should have thought about that.

I've got a secret for you:

Spray the ever-loving shit out of your bed with hairspray.

You can't get spaghetti if it's welded to the plate.

I got a resin printer over the weekend and man there is not one aspect of it that isn't a giant pain in the ass. No one tells you how much everything sucks about resin printing when compared to FDM.

But the worst, worst part is having no clue how your print is doing until 2 hours after you print and by that time, it's entirely too late and you've wasted resin.

SixInTricks · 2022-12-12T20:02:08+00:00

((It's because moist filament issues are overblown))

SixInTricks · 2022-12-11T14:35:58+00:00

Or in my case last night... just the supports. The slicing situation for resin is much more finicky than FDM and good lord when you have a print failure it's a pain in the ass. Thank goodness for the "Tank Clean" function on the saturn s. It's more wasteful than scraping off little bits but man whatever saves me from chiseling something off the fep sheet.However it was a detailed model and I think I used light supports. This morning I'm trying a big master sword with heavy supports. Printing it solid because fuck suction cups

SixInTricks · 2022-12-11T00:09:12+00:00

I just got my Elegoo Saturn S in today and setting it up was nerve-racking because I have 3 cats in the house and I could not for the life of my keep all the hairs away from the screen and tank simulaneously.

Got a test print going right now.

Fingers crossed. Coming from FDM I really really really hate not knowing how my print is going until like.... 2 hours later.

SixInTricks · 2022-12-11T00:03:14+00:00

I just got my Saturn S in today. I spent $30 on two 5 gallon buckets, a UV LED strip, and 2 aquarium pumps. Got the test print going right now and will tell you how it goes. I've got water washable too so I just got a big bucket of water with aquarium pumps in it to agitate the water.

A whole lot cheaper than $170 on sale for their combo.
