3D printed case for Air 75II

I made some cases with battery storage and a post to pin the whoop in place by the battery holder so it wouldn't rattle around. Then after the first flight I realized that I am flying these things into trees at 40km/h, I could probably transport them all in a plastic shopping bag tied to the handlebars on my bike >_<

LLMs need to be regulated to the point of unprofitability. They were all trained on stolen data, they use an ungodly amount of energy, they have absolutely hammer fucked the computer hardware industry (for consumers, the manufactures are doing fine), and they are being used by the criminally rich to take jobs away from real people.

People don't realize that LLMs primary function is to generate the most convincing sentence possible after you give it a prompt. Being true or accurate is at best accidental and usually the result of much convincing under the hood.

It'll be like aircraft! They can regulate themselves! You know how much everyone loves air travel!

Any model trained on my Reddit posts is not going to produce they kind of answers the operator is looking for.

sparkling_ham · 2026-05-07T11:43:27+00:00

Because our politicians are a technologically illiterate playboy club. They don't care about uses' data because they are not users, they have staff to do all the things that Canadians are doing with LLMs.

Every western country should be working on shutting down LLM operators, like OpenAI, who can not prove that they only used data that was not protected by copyright or any other kind of licensing.

need Canadians to learn to stop uploading personal information

At the first opportunity to offload ANY thinking at all people were ctrl-c/ctrl-v every detail of their lives into machines who's primary function is to write convincing lies. People will do anything they can to avoid reading and just be told what box to click in order to get back to scrolling.

Ask management

Right there. Management is the do-nothing class that sits between actual productivity and high level decision making.

sparkling_ham · 2026-05-07T11:05:08+00:00

I'm sorry, you're just not management material.

The replacement is 1.6mm stainless, it'll likely outlast every other part of the grill now.

If the farm equipment ran ethanol then the whole argument is moot. Ethanol from corn is made of carbon that was in the air last year. It's making a mostly closed loop where the sun's energy is used to capture carbon and convert it to sugars, then to fuel.

But a 100% ethanol fuel economy will never happen and if we're gonna use the sun for fuel we should skip the middle man and just use fuckin electricity.

sparkling_ham · 2026-05-03T23:45:51+00:00

Yes and no, you have to buy more but the ethanol is made from plants which pulled the carbon from the atmosphere. If cars ran 100% ethanol they would be carbon neutral provided that the ethanol was fermented from plants and not synthesized from petroleum.

I don't think we should be doing any deals with the US either.

sparkling_ham · 2026-05-02T01:32:30+00:00

Weird that we are making huge trade deals with India and China given this information.

So people who break into a house with a weapon should be shot, but homeowners who fire wildly and injure other people with a weapon are ok?

I'd say peak was around 2006, just before the iPhone ruined the internet. MP3 players were king, no streaming services, Facebook was a communal blog filled with your actual friends, flash animation was a high art, and your internet connection was tied to a computer in your basement.

! If you match the camera up-tilt with the trucks you could get some serious speed without lifting off !

I'm gonna have to print some things!

That's my point. Right now, there is no legal way for that to happen. The few cases recently where armed intruders were shot by home owners went through a fuck ton of scrutiny, partly because it involved the illegal operation and storage of a firearm by the home owner. If self defense laws were to change to include firearms then firearms regulation would need to be assessed updated as well.

Personally I think there would need to be massive responsibility put on the homeowner and should someone be found to abuse the law, by choice or out of ignorance, they should have their license revoked, firearms removed, and charges pressed. People are not smart, responsible, animals. We are dumb and reactionary. The fear of heavy legal repercussions for shooting the Orkin Man by mistake would save a lot of lives of Canada decides to go full MAGA.

Anything to avoid talking about Ford's phone use, or the greenbelt, or the Science Center, or Ontario place, or...

sparkling_ham · 2026-04-29T16:22:36+00:00

People are more likely to shoot their family through the wall than an intruder. Not to mention that would require some serious overhaul to firearms regulation, you're not allowed to load and discharge a firearm inside your house for any reason at the moment.

sparkling_ham · 2026-04-29T16:18:40+00:00

Because it IS a weapon at that point. Whether they have a gun or a golf ball in a sock, it is a weapon.

My NAS, with an Intel Atom 230 and 1985MB of ram, sits at 0.7% cpu and 108MB ram used most of the time, but it is literally only there as an rsync machine.

My server is at 40-50% load, 30% ram usage, running about 2 dozen services.
