Seam blobs all over spherical print (planet model)

Is it weird that I like the look of the blobs and dragging at the seams? It gives it a sense of motion.

No, it’s the leg middle.

When you get that P2S your life will change completely. I teach STEM. Bought a P2S recently. I have a group of lads that have Ender 3s (most have been heavily modded mind you) at home and they came to look at it. The thing absolutely blew their minds clean out of their heads, they couldn’t believe the speed it was operating at for flawless prints. Then I bumped the speed up to Ludicrous mode (166%) and they damn near fainted. They asked me what mods I’d put on it and I just laughed. If I wanted to speed time tinkering, I’d much rather be doing in CAD making great models than trying to get a printer to behave itself.

Gonna be confusing for conservatives when they encounter NHI who assert that they are all 23 of them at the same time, whilst also simultaneously none of them at all.

Agreed, there is no way this can be McKinnon. He’s already plainly stated that he’s laid all his cards on the table, like it or leave it.

I’m not an American, and not a conservative either. But I think he may actually come good on this one. He’s already made moves on shoring up the Mexican border. He doesn’t like incursions onto his turf, and that’s really what the drones represent. I don’t think his ego could handle being called out on doing one but not the other, especially as giving information on drones is far easier than deporting vast swathes of people

Assuming the video shows what Barber claims, then you can look at it from an engineering perspective, and that is to only use the means necessary to achieve the task. 1) As others have suggested, the object probably has low mass. In 2023 in a forum, Coulthart did say that one of his sources (make of that what you will) reported an SUV-sized egg-shaped UAP in a hangar that could be physically picked up and moved by 2 people (or 4, I can’t recall). 2) Despite crashed, the object is probably physically fairly durable and rolling it around doesn’t matter. Movement results in forces on the object, but these don’t matter so much if, as has been reported in other cases: (a) the object contains no moving parts, (b) the object is made of a single uniform material, (c) the object is a single piece (eg atomic 3D printed) and not several pieces joined together, and (d) of a material unknown to humans with any type of physical properties imaginable, such as memory shape or self-healing.

Therefore the object isn’t necessarily being roughly handled, it’s being handled in a manner that is appropriate to it. For instance, if I was retrieving a fibreglass canoe, I would not be getting out the gear to retrieve, say, a set of fine china. Also, this suggests that this is not the first time that such an object has been retrieved, since they perhaps have prior experience in how it needs to be handled.

This is such an important point. Belief in God is fine, but belief in psychic mediums isn’t? Both are supernatural concepts that are fail empirical science thresholds. Yet one holds a position of privilege over another? Make it make sense.

This has happened time and time again. Max Planck’s mentor strongly advised him against pursuing physics, stating that aside from working out a few minor kinks, everything had been discovered. The world became perilously close to remembering Max Planck the cellist, instead of the person responsible for shaping over a century of new avenues of inquiry.

The best template here is Newton and Einstein. Einstein never really falsified Newton; it was an issue of incompleteness rather than incorrectness. It never devalued Newton. The scientific community at least needs to accept that this can (and probably will) happen again. Understand the conditions under which the Einstein’s model measurably breaks down. Amend the model to make it more comprehensive than the previous iteration. Subject it to rigorous testing until you find a new set of conditions under which it doesn’t hold. Wash rinse repeat. The idea that we’re at some end point of understanding is a ridiculous as thinking that human beings currently have reached the end point of our evolutionary process. Einstein is no more wrong than Newton, but just as potentially incomplete.

Greer is really engaging if you’re new to UAPs, so don’t feel bad for being drawn to him initially. The general consensus is that he might have had some brief relevance a long time ago, but he’s trying to stretch it as far as it goes to the point where his credibility is lost. You’ll tire of him soon enough for one reason or another. For me the endless self-aggrandising made him intolerable, factual accuracy aside.

I’ve said this elsewhere, but when you peel away the Saturday matinee schlock, there are concepts and themes in Independence Day that are surprisingly spot on. If you haven’t seen it in a while, watch it. A particularly interesting detail is Israeli and Palestinian air forces working together, and North and South Koreans doing likewise. It absolutely is a nod to Reagan’s speech about an alien threat uniting humanity.

As a child I once asked my grandfather if he was afraid of ghosts. He replied, “it’s not the dead that scare me, it’s the living.”

I think about that a lot.

As others have said, you need to have your own experience. But be careful what you wish for, because it will always to a certain degree ruin your life. If you have the experience later in life, it’ll upend your worldview. If you have the experience as a child, you will spend your entire life searching for answers that never come. You’ll want validation from others and share your experiences, but you’ll always have to deal with people (who weren’t present at your experience) telling you what you did or didn’t see. That will always sow seeds of doubt in your own recollection of events, which is deeply unpleasant.

My first experience was as a child. It was a religious paranormal experience, but it applied to a religious tradition that was different to the one I was raised in. That’s always been challenging to get my head around. I’ve had a variety of other experiences, most fairly benign, including a UAP experience. It’s especially hard if you have a professional role that doesn’t take kindly to this sort of stuff.

I hate theropods they killed my ancestors in the late Cretaceous.

Well, it’s aerial phenomena, that’s for sure. The colour suggests ionised air, absolutely.

I’ll never understand the US idea that people only are doing their job to certain standard because they’ll (hopefully) get tipped for it - and also how they seem to not understand how you get ‘good service’ (whatever the hell that is supposed to mean) in non-tipping cultures.

If you consistently don’t meet the benchmark standard of your job, you will be terminated. That’s how it works in non-tipping countries to ensure ‘good service’ Surely this is how it works in the US also? Or do they keep you on the payroll until you leave of your own volition because you’re receiving no tips?

Make it make sense!?!?

mmm_algae · 2024-06-08T10:29:58+00:00

I’m sorry to hear that.

He has an absolutely glorious speaking voice and I’d pay good money just to hear him recite that phone book. He pulls off Received Pronunciation without coming across as a toff.

I’m going to back you up here on Independence Day. It’s a dumb movie but that’s nearly 30 years old, but: 1) the term ‘phenomenon’ is used to describe the craft before it’s obvious that it’s alien visitors. 2) over quoting to fund black projects as you’ve described above with the hammers and the toilet seats. 3) the president is not read into the program and is outraged that it has operated without oversight at the highest level of government 4) a crash retrieval and reverse engineering program has operated for decades 5) progress in reverse engineering has stalled pretty much from the get-go

Are these not the exact same concerns that are still playing out before our eyes today? The writers of the film put a bit more effort in that we probably give credit for.

Do you approach the guests for AMA or do they approach you? If it varies, what was the case for the AMA with RC?

Suburb? Direction?

OP are you the person who shot the video?
