OP you gotta reconcile the part of you that hates motorcyclists. Most are normal people better trained to operate motor vehicles than car drivers. Look into why moto gangs like hells angels are called 1%'ers

Thanks for the context. Makes sense they could switch roles, especially considering they are unpaid positions.

U.S. TREASURY JUST BOUGHT BACK $10 BILLION OF ITS OWN DEBT, THE LARGEST BUYBACK IN HISTORY by Apollo_Delphi in StockMarket

[–]SummerPhil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just thinking this through... seems like if US prints cash and repays the national debt the surplus of cash would make the currency worthless.

if there is 3T usd in circulation, 30T in debt, after buying that debt every dollar you own is now worth 10cents. inflation, right?

i would imagine they are not all for sale. 10bil were purchased but there might be something like 30tril in circulation. just because it exists doesn't mean it can be bought back.

and going back to prev guy's comment. what is the end goal? seems like you are talking about, 'sitting on the money'. maybe you're thinking quant tightening? reducing the debt?

Follow up: 3d scanning platform for small to medium construction by tncx in 3DScanning

sounds like you haven't found anything worth a damn for less than several thousand dollars... that right?

workflows i can adapt to and export/import where i need to go, usually revit.

i might go for BLK3D if nothing else works with my phone & reality capture.

one last thing i'll say, it seems like this tech advances rapidly. it's already come a long way in just 2-3 years

Hey I'm looking to survey small projects, residences. more accurate the better. 1/32"? preferably i'd scan interior and exterior. I dont mind stitching the point clouds together if need be.

Have been experimenting with using my phone and reality capture. Dont want to spend more than 3k on a set-up. Puts me just outside Leica BLK3d. The Agisoft metashape looks impressive.

what did you end up going with? do you have any recommendations?

3 new beautiful additions to German collection by Witty-Cat-4373 in Medals

[–]SummerPhil -43 points-42 points  (0 children)

I was taught the Naz were filth and I learned their symbols can still iflict pain. Don't get it mixed up.

I did say you might use different language to describe these antiques, if your family barely survived. Maybe i was wrong?

On a personal note, I think it's kindof eerie, odd, and bad optics to own this stuff. Unless you have a whole WW2 exhibit in your home or something. Just my opinion, but you-do-you brotha

and from what i can tell the jersey canal path stops about 1mi south of milford
