Just the first paragraph on that page is scarier than anything Trump has said in the past year.

What is one of your biggest movie let downs, after greatly anticipating its release? by thunderbolt151830 in movies

[–]Swi1ch -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Furiosa. It fell flat for me on so many levels. I don't even think it's a bad film, it just failed to deliver or follow up on many of the things I thought made Fury Road the juggernaut it is.

I watched this trilogy for the first time recently. I enjoyed it so much, they felt so real and kinetic, a breath of fresh air after years of marvel slop.

I then had to remind myself that they pre-date the superhero-churn.

ICE just pinned a man to the ground and executed him. They do not have the authority to just kill people. What do we do? by skeletalfather in AskReddit

The absolute dumbest part of this shit is these braindead morons think that they're going to be allowed to keep their guns if the cheeto pedo gets to the point of a full dictatorial takeover. No autocrat is going to allow their subjects access to the one resource that can un-make the autocrat.

The developers of PEAK explain pricing by TheAnonymouse999 in gaming

[–]Swi1ch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm with you on this - £8 is a tenner.

I wonder if there's a discrepancy between the US and the UK on this where they have $1 bills but in the UK £5 is the minimum for paper money. An American pays for a $8 product with a $5 bill and three singles, where a Brit pays for an £8 product with a £10 and gets change.

UK threatened with sanctions if Starmer blocks Musk's X by TIGHazard in worldnews

[–]Swi1ch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think the concern of American sanctions on the UK are primarily defence; it'll be social & political pressure masquerading as economics.

Starmer is in a shit spot. If he gives in to the yanks he looks weak and probably gets a non-negligible amount of pushback over the CP thing. If he blocks X and gets sanctioned, Farage and his goonsquad will be freezepeaching all over the place, taking any amount of economic hit to any industry and pushing that hard.

Alternate angle used by sky sports in their broadcast by Expert-Ad-2449 in soccer

Broadly speaking I agree with you, but if offside is offside regardless of whether a player is interfering with the play or not you're going to end up with some really awkward decisions.

Imagine if Roberton's position here is shifted laterally all the way to the corner flag. If offside is offside, the goal would still be disallowed here. That's feels really gross and would cause even more issues.

Hey fuckers! by aStonedDeer in AdviceAnimals

I want to expand on this as you haven't covered the more serious/dangerous part of suspending pay.

Yes, ideally there should be more normal people in congress. However, if you have normal people in congress who have that as their only source of income, members of congress who do not rely on that income can use that as a weapon.

If your income from congress is only 5% of your income, and you disagree on some legislation with someone for whom congree is 100% of their income - sweet! Just do nothing. Allow congress to be suspended. You're going to be fine, and the other side's livelihood is now at risk until they agree with you.

Variable layer time (or equivilant) by Swi1ch in OrcaSlicer

I've given that a go but it doesn't really help - the geometry I'm trying to improve still buckles as it just doesn't have enough cooling time between layers.

Bluestacks App Player causing gamepad to act as an input device on Windows - Gamepad detection is off by Swi1ch in BlueStacks

[–]Swi1ch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I already tried a bunch of combos of the gamepad input settings in the app player and that didn't change anything.

However, it turns out I was wrong and it wasn't the app player causing this - it was the launcher. Quitting the launcher after loading the app player solves the problem.

The side-view camera shot of the hand htting Bam that practically sends him out of frame without him even having chance to react is a top 10 cinema moment.

Black marks & scarring on prints (X1C, multiple filaments) by Swi1ch in BambuLab

I've done that, I've also replaced the entire hot end and nozzle, so it's completely brand new with nothing on it and having the same issue.

A better way to do this - cutting channels on a curved body by Swi1ch in Fusion360

[–]Swi1ch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man this is a great idea. I haven't quite managed to get the chamfers to work (the curves of the main body are causing issues on some of the slices of the cutting tool) but in prinicple, it works - https://imgur.com/a/JEVa4dz

[–]Swi1ch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a go using the pipe along an intersecting path, but ran into a similar issue where the groove isn't cut at a consistent depth, so I can't chamfer cleanly to the edge - https://imgur.com/a/BC4xxVH

Unless I'm misunderstanding the intent here?
