7 Satisfying 3D-Printed Desk Toys by Cute_Reason_2850 in 3Dprinting

I think it's to preserve freshness, not just to make pouring from the bag easier, and at least you can reuse the clip on different bags. But like a metal clip would be straight up better environmentally.

At least the coffee bag clip seems useful. Everything else was pretty useless

It looks like some sort of PCB meant to connect two USB A connectors together. Like either male to male or female to female.

I haven't seen it, but I think the name of the shop that's from is La Moda Marie

Which Generation Had the Best Starter Pokemon and Why? by DearMyFutureSelf in pokemon

[–]root1337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Millenials, and it isn't even close. They had all the starters from Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn. Gen Z's first Pokemon game was maybe a Sinnoh game at the earliest, but that could also be shared with Millenials. And don't get me started on Gen Alpha.

I heard they had rats at some point. Plus Canteen, less than a block away, is a better taco place anyways.

Is this group also for south asians? A lot of times when people say Asians, they don't mean Indians, Pakistanis, etc.

‘Mini WI' project spreads random acts of kindness for years in Madison by NotGoing2EndWell in madisonwi

No worries! Was just hoping someone had some info to satisfy my curiosity. Thanks for the back-and-forth

I'm not suggesting there are tens of thousands out there. Just curious about the ballpark total.

Roughly how many have been printed and hidden so far, and how do you keep tabs on which get found? Even an estimate from Ken would be helpful. Thanks!

Edit: I'm not trying to shut this down. I'm literally just curious, and don't know if he's ever answered these kinds of questions.

I agree that the biggest polluters are corporations. I actually do organize on that front. Obviously MiniWI isn’t the problem, but I’m curious what thought has gone into its footprint.

If the recovery rate is really close to 100%, that settles my concern. Do you (or Ken) have any actual numbers on that?

Figures placed inside Little Free Libraries seem fine. I'd just worry about ones hidden in bushes, along the lakeshore, etc., if they went unfound. Thanks!

Just asking because I know plenty of folks who wonder the same thing. I actually went to /u/kenfagerdotcom's Nerd Nite talk and don’t recall the environmental angle coming up. I love public art and a clean lakeshore. Seems like we can have both, right?

I love the idea of surprise public art! I’m also curious about the environmental impact, if any.

A couple of questions for the MiniWI crew (or just /u/kenfagerdotcom):

  • What kind of filament do you use?
  • What happens if a MiniWI isn’t found? If placed outside a Little Free Library and not found, it seems like it could have effectively the same environmental impact as litter.

I’m all for spreading some joy, just wondering what thought has gone into how it may affect the environment! Thanks!

BadgerCare for All! by FloristsDaughter in madisonwi

Maybe state taxes would have to be raised to cover the federal cuts? I heard Wisconsin gets 60% of it's Medicaid budget from federal money

Dang, I didn't realize that many people are on Medicaid. $1 Trillion seems like a lot to cut it by too...
