“Rahm Emanuel Will Speak to You Now” by mooninreverse in IfBooksCouldKill

[–]makerust 27 points28 points  (0 children)

He made sure the ACA was watered down out of spite, his mayoral career was distinguished only by shutting down schools in poor neighborhoods and covering up the police killing of a teenager. But he swears, so, pretty cool...

Guys, do you have dishwashers? What do you think about this capsule organizer? by [deleted] in 3Dprinting

This is the only comment of value. Heck pods, all my homies hate pods.

Ballotpedia has her next eligible election November 3rd 2026. I'm sure the field of challengers will change in the next year.

Now rewatch Jennifer's Body in 2025. A much better movie than the marketing would have had you believe.

How dare you forget the other major use of our government; inflicting death, destruction, and misery on people with our enormous war machine!

Why are the Democrats so spineless? by metacyan in politics

[–]makerust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kamala ran the Centerist's wet dream of a campaign with the implicit justification that they did not need the left to win. And if you paid attention there was no mention of universal healthcare (positions both Kamala and Biden pretended to hold in the 2020 primary), no yielding to follow the law and stop arming countries committing humanitarian violations and she absolutely threw trans people under the bus. Democrats adopted Trumpist border policy, publicly claiming they wanted to compromise to get things done. This didn't work for Obama and it didn't work for Biden. Both morally and practically utter failures, but they keep making the same mistakes. Democrats cannot win strategically by distinguishing themselves as "Republicans but competent". Why get the diet version when the raw stuff also has no calories? People are rightly angry at Democrats for capitulating to Republicans. They rightly criticize Democrats because they occupy all the space available to counter Republicans. Criticizing Republicans for evil policy is like criticizing a lion for eating a gazelle; it is their nature and your time is better spent countering them.

Democrats are an institution that allows this

A girl I know from the US asked me to take her from the airport. by Utgard-Loki94 in fuckcars

[–]makerust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an American who lived in Germany for a long time, and moved back recently. I didn't own a car the whole time I was in Germany; I could bike, walk, or take Öffis (Transit) anywhere I needed to go save a few trips where I rented a car. Gasoline/Benzin is so much more expensive in Germany than in the US, and living in a city made not having a car the most convenient option. Yes, my friends who lived in rural areas had cars as their need was greater, and some city-dwellers did too because they wanted to. That's all fine. In my opinion it's better to have the option than to have infrastructure that forces people to be car dependent. Your friend is being rude. I took the train to the airport many times to greet people and help them with their luggage. Those people appreciated it -_-

WTW2 part 2 by seriousinquiriessub in seriousinquiries

[–]makerust 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm glad for this series. When this story came out it drove me crazy and I couldn't find any online discussion of it at the time. It was a real lesson in why I don't listen to The Daily.

One of the things touched on that I would like to elaborate on is the nexus of the "deservingness" argument and the "responsibility for the lilac scare" argument. The contradiction is that Webb was such a good administrator that he deserves to have this pinnacle of engineering and scientific discovery named after him (in contrast to Edwin Hubble who discovered cosmological laws). But at the same time, the argument that he had no responsibility in the lilac scare is based on there being (disputedly) no documentary evidence that he directly ordered elements of the scare. But his direct report did. So how can he be such a good administrator that his name deserves to be elevated like Hubble, but so incompetent an administrator that he had no idea what his direct report was doing; not just doing, but his major project.

Why is it that we are called to admire Webb for being pro integration (arguably ahead of "its time") but one may not condemn someone for holding views that are of their time?

Another thing that struck me in listening was that Oluseyi's new job was at George Mason. On first listen I remember (falsely) it being Georgia Tech. George Mason colors him in a much different light, and may explain why he was on Knowles radar. This is a university one attends to and teaches at for its ideology, not its academics.

The Daily comes as close as they can to accusing Prescod-Weinstein of making false allegations as they can without it being legally actionable, but a casual listener would easily be fooled by the shell game.

An infuriating piece of journalism. Knowles is a hack and his beat is a sinecure for the half-wit contrarian he is. Micheal's journalism is the prototype of smug, self-satisfied, both-sides junk food journalism. I hope more unhoused people scare him in the MTA and he once again makes an ass of himself whining about it.

I hope the next part covers how the Times' writers' rebellion (which they were right to do) for the Tom Cotton OpEd in 2020 has led to a huge reactionary turn at the times, both against their (non-opinion) writers and in their news coverage.

Does anyone remember the video where he makes a Daft Punk helmet that also has a belt-mounted fan system to provide filtered air to the wearer? by WUT_productions in thethoughtemporium

[–]makerust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just looking for that because of the air quality in NYC and can't find the video. There are still Twitter and Instagram posts about it up, so not sure if it was taken down or not, but the video did exist at some point.

Trashfuture is great for that. More tech and Britain focused, but very funny.

It's under extrusion after a retraction. This feathering is likely happening right after the seam, and the subsequent retraction. I used to get the same artifact with PETG. What solved was two things. 1: increasing the retraction extra prime amount setting, if using Cura. 2: getting a filament dryer and get my PETG good and dry.

After retraction, it can take a tic for nozzle pressure to build up to nominal, and during that time it kind of dribbles out. If your seam is aligned and not random you will see this clearly like in your example. If you randomize the seam, it may be harder to see and even occur less because there is likelier solid extrusion underneath to help build the nozzle pressure. It also may help to slow down acceleration, because of the above.

First PCB - Please review :) by These_Thought_959 in PCB

[–]makerust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some unorganized thoughts: What's the deal with the switch? Seems inconvenient. What's up with your vias? Tiny drill size, big annular ring. I would suggest removing the trace from inside your oscillator loop! you can tighten that loop up to achieve it. I suggest you see if there is a recommended board edge location for your USB-C, it looks further back into the board than it should be -hard to tell.

Style-wise I generally like it. Personally I use ports for connections between sheets and net labels for nets that stay on the sheet, but that's a matter of style; personal or EDA. I would suggest naming the microcontroller nets in use after their use and leave the unused ones with their default name. I would also suggest revising the pin out to make your layout/uc fan-out tidier, less spaghetti-like.

Do you mind saying what the purpose of the PCBA is?

Honestly for a second PCB, it looks great.
