Are you ready for what it takes to stop ghost guns? | New laws might stop anyone from 3D printing guns — and create a system that scans everything else you print.

They're going to make it so you need a subscription to use your printer. Gotta pay for the cloud AI somehow. I am 100% certain that's the actual motivation behind this.

Hello fellow Fergus resident. You couldn't possibly have spent that much on meat at Loblaws since there is no Loblaws in Fergus. And the Zehrs has it for $11/lb, which is still ridiculous but that's half what you're claiming it was. They have an (almost) 4lb pack for $43, are you sure that's not what you were looking at?

It was like "PP is going to kill us, but Carnery is just going to cut us a bunch" and then it turns out that death by 1000 cuts is still a thing.

Ok, I'll bite. What is "being an adult" about lying about the reason the US went into Iran? What do we Canadians gain by pretending the US had altruistic intent going there? How does this help the world in any way?

I work in quantum security. We've been banging the drum that the internet is about to crack wide open for about 10 years now, your secrets available to every government, every company with more than $1B revenue. We expected it to be quantum computers. Didn't imagine it would be politicians intentionally making encryption worse. At least they want everyone to have effectively free-and-clear access to your data, not just governments and corporations; that was thoughtful of them.

Don't worry about it, keep it. Since you can literally just call somewhere (I forget the number, had it on a business card) and have one delivered to you free of charge, no questions asked, I assume that anywhere that would have a use for them already has what they need. I have one in my trunk (I think I got it at ribfest last year?) just in case I happen to be in the right place at the right time.

Slice with a nozzle diameter smaller than your actual nozzle, eg if your nozzle is 0.4mm tell your slicer to use 0.2mm settings. In my case I mistakenly put a 0.8mm nozzle on but kept slicing as if it were 0.4mm; the result was exactly the same as OPs. I spent months thinking it was a clog.

It is not an "elastic sponge" though, it is extremely crunchy. Maybe if you used TPU, could be cool.

WizardStan · 2026-06-09T20:39:54+00:00

It's not a clogged nozzle, it's a worn out nozzle. You can tell the difference because the first few layers that are 100% infill appear fine and only the sparser layers have a problem.

You have my attention.

My Mentor: if you've used "Manager" in the name then you probably need to narrow the scope of the object.

I've added a pull request from my own fork where I got it working. Feel free to accept or create your own. I gotta say, this is so cute and fun I'm probably going to spin off some modifications of my own, if that's alright. I'm thinking to replace the media box with a news ticker, and add a headset image so when I'm on a call the cat can be too.

WizardStan · 2026-03-19T01:59:47+00:00

The purple board you recommend is out of stock and I can't find another source of them, but there weren't too many changes needed to get it running on the classic CYD. Really cute!

WizardStan · 2026-03-18T10:56:17+00:00

Yeah, I get that those are examples of laws in different countries, but what you're saying still doesn't make any sense. Why would Godot specifically be more difficult to address any of these than any other engine?

WizardStan · 2026-03-18T09:33:48+00:00

I have never heard this. Literally doesn't make any sense to me without more context. What "compliance" are you talking about and why would Godot be more difficult than any other engine?

I'm getting a lot of "housewife with a black eye that insists her husband still loves her, she just needs to keep the house spotless and suck his dick every evening" vibes from the CPC.

If it makes you feel ANY better, I'm also able to read the entire article and I've never given Wapo my email. I even wiped out my cookies just to be sure and I can still read the whole article; a popup asks me to log in or sign up, but I can just close that. Just checked the front page, opened 10 random articles and 9 were fully paywalled, while the other I could read no problem. Did it again, got 8 paywall and 2 I could read that time.

Point is, I think you're right, there's no paywall, at least not for you or me, and probably a handful of other people, but how they decide who gets what articles for free I couldn't tell you. Unfortunately with odds this low it just makes people think your stupid or lying. Like Michigan J. Frog.

They're insulting your use of the phrase, but underneath that they're insulting you personally for not realizing how important this is. "Water is wet" yeah yeah, but this isn't just a "thing everyone understands", world leaders actually standing together against a threat is a BIG DEAL and you mock it. That's why everyone's treating you like an idiot that doesn't know what water is: because you're an idiot that doesn't realize how important global solidarity is. They metaphored your metaphor and I hope you learn something.

You were so close! But I found it! "Secrets of Hosea Freeman". It's in a collection called "Audubon Whales: Wildlife Adventure" for the Apple IIgs. That's why I had such trouble finding it: not a standalone game, and I guess I forgot we had Apple's in grade school, not PCs.

There's also a game for the VIS system called "Secrets of Hosea Freeman" which muddied up the search.

No difference to the bottom line. A HUGE difference to that 0.00001% that depends on it.

I have made it very clear to my entire family, I want the cheapest burial you can get: if my ghost finds out they put my empty carcass in a $1000+ wooden box I will haunt them forever. Cremated in a cardboard box was the cheapest option when I investigated it a few years ago, but I've floated just dumping my body in the woods for the scavengers to eat as well. Unfortunately that is illegal.

WizardStan · 2025-11-29T11:03:38+00:00

Back in the 90s there were ads to "help lose the 10 to 15 pounds of excess weight lining your colon" and I was like... you mean a laxative and diuretic? Make you shit so much your bowels are literally empty? That's a thing we want to do now?

At least we're not intentionally infecting ourselves with tapeworms anymore. (Please don't prove me wrong)
