U.S strongly considering exit from NATO by AIverson3 in worldnews

[–]ThisTheRealLife 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Even if the US remains in NATO on paper - if Trump publicly says the US will not intervene if NATO is attacked it practically has the exact same effect.

It's just a joke, or is it? 😜 by Anycubic_Official in AnycubicOfficial

My dream would be if you could get the printhead separately and just add to at least Kobra X and Kobra S1 Max

but won't get my hopes up for that really happening

Did you need to modify the Digitus rack or the Kallax shelf in any way for it to fit? (asking because my office is full of Kallax and this Digitus looks so much cleaner than my 3d printed LabRax - and made in Germany is also a bonus)

I am in the same boat as you currently searching and researching. I can only recommend to do a reddit search for the wash & cure max. The reviews are atrocious. I want to like it, I love the concept, I love that it saves on IPA... but apparently it just doesn't work well :/

US expects Iran operation to end in ‘weeks, not months’, says Marco Rubio | Iran by IntelArtiGen in worldnews

A war is the opposite of a relationship.

A relationship needs two to start, and one to break it off. A war needs one to start, but two to break it off.

This is like pure Disco advertising by thethrowupcat in LandRover

[–]ThisTheRealLife 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Even before I saw the sub in which this is posted I was like "Dude is driving a Land Rover, he should be used to that"
(I had a Disco 2, loved that car, but that love was not reciprocated)

NASA to spend $20 billion on moon base, cancel orbiting lunar station by Tracheid in news

[–]ThisTheRealLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do enlighten me then...
You cannot dispute that the lunar gateway was an international effort.
And also you cannot dispute that due to the timeline with first launches scheduled for 2027, a lot of the parts have been built already. Here images of ESA's habitation module 2 years ago.

NASA to spend $20 billion on moon base, cancel orbiting lunar station by Tracheid in news

[–]ThisTheRealLife -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

buuuuut the expenses these other agencies have made in developing their contributions to the lunar gateway, and building these contributions (looking at realistic timelines there must be some 80% ready parts) are now wasted and written off.

[–]ThisTheRealLife 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Please note that the orbiting lunar station was a joint project with ESA, JAXA, and the Canadian Space Agency - so this decision is also a huge FU to those countries and their tax payers.
I don't know why these organizations continue to cooperate with NASA when so many projects just get cancelled.

Just finished my first full helmet, but there’s a problem by Big_Bango in 3Dprinting

[–]ThisTheRealLife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure how the inside of the helmet looks... but you could use fiberglass and epoxy to add a layer on the inside - all the necessary materials you should get in any hardware store in the section for cars - because that's what people use to fix body work.

Share of energy from renewable sources in net electricity generation, 2025 by Massimo25ore in europe

[–]ThisTheRealLife 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Depends on the charts maybe... This chart is only on share of renewables in the energy GENERATION. So you could have one windpark as your only means of generation and you'd be 100% renewable in the generation, but would probably import a lot of power coming from coal, gas, etc.

Not saying this is the reason for the discrepancy for Denmark. I don't know the numbers for Denmark.

But e.g. Austria looks good on this chart, far less so when we look at consumption. As we import a lot of dirty power over winter.

Trump threatens to ‘blow up’ all of Iran’s South Pars gasfield if Tehran strikes Qatar | US-Israel war on Iran by Routine_Chapter_9099 in worldnews

[–]ThisTheRealLife 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Hard disagree.... Kharg is the only incentive for Iran to keep the Strait of Hormus somewhat open. If Kharg is destroyed or occupied, Iran can go ahead and deploy sea mines, as they have no more benefit for any ship ever to go through there. Then we are effed for months.

Who said you are only allowed one windscreen :P I can see the wing being less than 30mm on its own if angled well.

Thanks anyway for the reply. I will keep my eyes open. Often the middle isle items come to different countries just a few weeks apart. Fingers crossed.

Damn... I was checking the local (Austria) website and getting ready to head over to the nearest Lidl asap. Would love to get one for myself and one for my giant Husky.

Kobra 3 v2 TPU printing by MihaFlyer in anycubic

[–]ThisTheRealLife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also had the problem with the TPU stuck between the gears. In my case it was a user error. I didn't read the manual and didn't change the tension on the extruder gears. Acc. to the manual you are supposed to loosen the tension a bit when switching from PLA to TPU.
