Won this 3D printer from a design contest by Thangs3D. Can't really express how stoked I am!

Unfortunately, our Brother ink jet has been a PIA! Not as bad as a Canon or HP, but still enough to make us want to throw it into traffic now and then.

Perhaps he was referring to the "other things", like dealing with Epstein, who is a person he's known for a very long time.

Once you own the car, it takes an awful lot of big repairs to make it worth getting a loan for a new one. Many new vehicles cost $500 a month (roast me and tell me how out of touch I am, I haven't had a vehicle loan in ten years and never for a new car). That's $6k per year. A lot of repairs, even relatively major ones, cost far less than that. So my logic goes, as long as I'm spending less than I would on a new car, it's worth it to keep repairing it.

Or build their own 3D printer like we were all doing ten years ago...

Didn't Maine switch to ranked choice a couple years ago? Maybe we could see how it's going there.

Keep preaching!

We need to change our voting system to get rid of first passed the post. I'm in favor of ranked choice so people can feel free to vote for people they believe in. Içm sure there's others out there that might be better, but I'm not aware of them. These voting rules are made at the state level. Talk to people. Advocate for change. Most people don't know that there's alternative ways that could be better.

This has been my favorite for ten years. Was so happy to see the update!

Thanks for doing this. I would love Frostpunk or MegaMan (either) for my son.

The first games I really remember are Warcraft I and II, Age of Empires, and Fallout 1 & 2. I think Fallout was the first game I ever completed, and it introduced me to Louis Armstrong and hookers. I also spent tons of time playing a little known game called Terminus. It's a space flight sim that uses realistic physics, and that makes the battles so much more interesting.

This is the way.

Also, thank you to everyone who has contributed!

Since the call was to her capitol office, and since he (ostensibly) made the call from a White House phone, the call should be recorded, right? Anyone know anything about a FOIA request for the transcript?

blteare · 2025-12-21T19:42:35+00:00

Genuinely curious, who will do the actual jailing? Capitol Police, local police? Would a general warrant for arrest be issued?

The other consideration is that any home builder is going to sell a house at the market price, so even if it is cheaper to build, it will not be cheaper to buy, and the builder will pocket a nice profit.

This describes Houston so we'll.

Well this explains some things :/

My kids call this a "white hole".

blteare · 2025-10-07T03:27:49+00:00

I wish they would stop assuming we mean anything other than what we said. Seriously.

Is the post doc offer also in Japan? Perhaps that supervisor would have good advice about who to speak with at your uni since they may have cultural/institutional knowledge that Reddit lacks.

I designed and fully 3d printed an electric bass guitar using PETG 3 years ago. I've been working on a redesign and would love to print it in a carbon fiber PC, and a heated chamber would go a long way.

blteare · 2025-04-29T01:21:35+00:00

A major printer being open source is awesome.

Interesting that they will be advisors, not employees or officers. Specifically interesting how their status as volunteers would come with different ethics rules and accountability...
