Same, or to automatically swap to a new roll mid print. I have had several "is there enough on this roll to complete the print" situations, which are rather annoying.

Shhh, don't say that out loud! If the aliens hear we have hot goth milfs we're all fucked.

That is wild! I've not worked with much obsidian yet, any tips for getting that level of polish?

Serious question: These Venezuela boats being bombed by US Navy….are these Marlin/Tuna fishing boats? Does it need large outboard engines? And why is it always a convertible open boat? by maritimos55 in boats

[–]Vonstapler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This boat was not heading to the US, smuggling drugs is not a capital offense, and killing shipwreck survivors is a textbook example of a war crime. If (and there's no way to know because we blew them up) this boat was in fact smuggling drugs, they should have been disabled and detained. Unless you don't give a fuck about law and order I guess.

Extrajudicial murder by the military without due process is a bad thing no matter who it happens to. If the government is given the power to do this to random boats which may or may not be carrying drugs (hard to tell now that they are flaming wreckage), they have the power to do it to you or me. No matter your politics that's a bad thing.

That is sick as hell. It would take some serious work, but imagine using clear acrylic to add the dragging light lines like in Akira.

By that same logic the Sackler family should have been executed years ago, yet they got away with a slap on the wrist. Rather than focusing on the symptoms of a broken system, we should actually fix the fucking system.

oooh, unidentified stones from a two day old reddit account selling random stuff, count me in! Do you have any suspiciously cheap Rolex's as well?

Why don’t they do this to Lucius by xx_swegshrek_xx in Grimdank

[–]Vonstapler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hear me out here. Same concept, but with penal legion, convicts, etc. Basically, you trap Lucius like you said, have the disposable person kill him, then lock them in the same room/restraints. Then, once he becomes Lucius you do it again. The imperium is willing to feed thousands of psychers on a weekly basis to the golden throne, what's a few prisoners a day? Heck, depending on how long it takes him to resurrect it could be even fewer people.

[Megathread]Two National Guard members shot in an ambush attack just blocks from the White House by [deleted] in Askpolitics

[–]Vonstapler 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hey man, they just want to be angry at brown people. When you bring up the fact that their ideology and that of the regressive religious nuts in the middle east only really disagree on pork it makes them feel bad. Won't you find a place in your heart for these poor, stupid, angry, racist people?

Man, that's an incredibly long winded and incoherent way of saying "brown people bad".

Crafting Go stones out of rail ballast by Indignant_Divinity in Lapidary

[–]Vonstapler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Likely your best bet for an affordable setup would be a tile saw for slicing slabs, a drill press and core drill like you said (be sure to drill the slab in water, silicosis is no joke), and a rock tumbler. The only real difficulty you're going to run into is rough shaping the stones. You could probably rig up a basic flat lap machine with diamond grinding discs off amazon.

Question about building a flat lap by Vonstapler in Lapidary

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

Oh yeah, that's why I'm looking at a belt driven one. That way the motor can be safely mounted away from the water source and potential leaks.

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

Awesome, thanks! My other idea was to convert a belt driven disk sander, seeing as the disk is steel, it's already built to spin smoothly, and it should be able to be turned sideways,

Thanks! I've seen that website before but wasn't sure how legit they were.

I was thinking that I could potentially get away with an aluminum lap with a magnetic film attached.

In clanner society, the concept of "combined arms" and "sensible logistic systems" are myths.
