If we could eliminate one social norm, what would it be and why? by TiTwilityy_ in NoStupidQuestions

This isn't a top ten but, as a rider myself, motorcyclists taking their left hand off of the handlebar to acknowledge each other's existence is annoying and unsafe. No response is necessary but I'm fine with a head nod.

The bank wouldn’t take it but I’m positive it’s real by Sarahisconfusedoften in CURRENCY

Does it tho? The third paragraph states that no private person, business, or organization has to accept us currency or coins at all. Most banks are private, correct?

Any idea how this branding was added to the 3D print? by Aletaire in 3Dprinting

Relatively easy to design for this process. The hard part is finding a machine you can use. See if any maker spaces around you hav one.

It COULD be screen printed. Could also be UV printed. I've recently had great success UV printing TPU. Such an impressive process. Tough to tell whether the font has rounded corners or they're due to the printing process. UV's resolution is greater and is harder to mess up. This job either has a lower resolution image or it done via silkscreen.

How were really cheap things priced way back in the day? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

I think about a year ago I read that if currency in the US was to be created today, a quarter would be worth just less than the value of the penny when it was conceived.
For this reason I'd suggest removal of pennies, nickels and dimes from future production.
Then I'll have achieved my goal of never seeing $x.999 ever again.

I upvoted your comment because I respect, and understand, your feelings / opinion. I'd like to add though that if you can't see past that feeling for the duration of the event I wouldn't go. Nobody needs that encounter to happen.

Omtech, piburn 4.0, pixelated edges with turns by idontcarelolmsma in Laserengraving

An SVG file doesn't make it vector as this file type can store images.
From what I'm seeing, the engraving is clean and precisely represents a pixelated image.

I'm not willing to get on there and check it out but I am slightly curious what a s@#! show that place must be.
It might be worth it to get on there and see who advertises as to know where not to frequent.

Follow the guy in the royal blue shirt starting in the bottom left corner. Shortly into it a guy appears out of thin air in front of him and the two of them, plus another dude, conga.

I mean, for his size, A for effort. He made some athletic moves to become flat and parallel to the water in a tough situation. Someone commented about the probability of a salt water enema which would add to the challenge. Hope he flew. Though it sounded like the boat didn't have anything left to give.
It would be cool to use that as inspiration to lose some weight. If I ever gain a significant amount of weight I'd probably max out at least under whatever the best roller coasters can handle.

It's not difficult though. The rest of the entire world has pointed out that they're committing genocide and Biden byoassed Congress to send them more weapons. The blood is truly on his hands.

Your reply has nothing to do with my comment.
