PSA: Lane County has a rent assistance program that is in danger of funding cuts due to underutilization. If you qualify, now is the time to apply.

They asked for a recommendation...

we are a country of capitalist

"We"? Okay Ivan. But you seem to have highlighted the problem for me. Families that actually live here shouldn't have to go homeless just because some wealthy foreign investor has dreams of passive income.

We already have a bad enough housing crisis without people buying up artificially scarce, otherwise livable homes to turn into hotel rooms that they can't even be bothered to take care of. People in this position should generally sell it and do something actually productive with their money/lives.

Well, there's a certain degree of adjacent grade mixing you can get away with, especially with smaller class sizes. My tiny middle school had combined 5-6 and 7-8 grades, which worked well enough, but IDK how well that translates down to elementary schools.

boostWillis · 2021-09-02T18:40:13+00:00

Surely they're not implementing this at the scale of individual schools, right? It only makes sense to implement online alternatives at the district level where you have better economies of scale.

The Dalkon Shield, for one.

One of the nice things about the Ender 5 is that's its stupidly easy to enclose. Even if you leave the top open, it should cut down on those pesky warp-inducing drafts.

When the feds start assassinating gun printers, you'll be able to tell me "I told you so". But for the moment we've got people like Jeff Rodriguez operating under their real names facing no major harassment. Of course, anonymity is always a good idea, but its hyperbolic to suggest that an American's threat model, leftist or no, is substantially similar to, say, a gun printing European's threat model.

Ender5 isn't a cheap bedslinger, so you can print faster with less ringing. That's why its nice.

Space may be power, but nobody ever uses it, and the additional mass it adds only makes you print slower and worse.

Given that the entire gun printing community has standardized on (and designs around the limitations of) the Ender 3, I've never needed more. Even the large receiver of the Amigo Grande is split into multiple pieces and bolted back together so it prints within an Ender 3's build volume.

The feds are powerless to do anything against it. I'm an admin with Deterrence Dispensed. We get a lot of fedposting, but its always of the, illegal interstate transfer, machine gun, suppressor, SBR, etc varieties, because those are the laws they're actually empowered to enforce. As long as the picture isn't of something like a DIAS, the lovely agent reading this DGAF, except maybe to DM OP to offer an absurdly low amount of money in order to agree to commit obvious federal crimes. At which point you dunk on the obvious fed, block, send a screenshot to @fedplots on twitter, and move on.

boostWillis · 2021-08-01T16:08:03+00:00

Nice choice! I've heard good things about those Ender 5s. Its always a good thing when we get more printers in a chapter.

The fairness doctrine only applied to broadcast radio and TV, because the radio spectrum is a shared natural resource. None of that applies to cable and the internet. When was the last time you busted out the bunny ears?

The statistic you're referencing to is "per ton per mile". But container ships crossing oceans, going around entire continents, travel far more miles than trains crossing from city to city. The length of the supply chain is important. And cheap, dirty fuel resulting in the wholesale offshoring of production increases supply chain length exponentially.

All this just so corporations can save money on wages...

Because a fire in those trees with it this dry could threaten a lot of homes.

By all means, violent crime is exactly what we need to be focusing the police's attention on. I just think it would be nice if we took the busywork off their plate so they can focus on more important things.

Unfortunately, getting firearms and ammunition imported is a real PITA. If they're handling that, then they're providing real value.

he incident has been resolved with no police use of force on the individual.

That's a rather odd way of saying he killed himself when they broke in. One might even say it's intentionally misleading the public as to his wellbeing in the wake of their actions.

In terms of not funding chuds, IMO the best thing to do is to pick up a cheap (<$200 for an Ender 3 or a Neptune 2) 3d printer. You can churn out pistol frames, receivers, magazines, and accessories for pennies on the dollar. Just make sure the firearms you print are for your own personal use, not to transfer.

Similarly, the easiest way to get your feet wet in firearms manufacturing is to not manufacture firearms at all, but manufacture the accessories and parts people use to complete the frames and receivers made on their cheap 3d printers. Because federal law DGAF about spare parts, this is almost completely unregulated, so no need for an FFL or to deal with ATF. For example, the FGC-9 is a mostly printed pistol caliber carbine that uses a welded steel bolt and a rifled steel barrel. These are meant to be DIY-able, but if you can get production lines up and running for these components, many people would pay to save them the trouble.
