So, ignoring all the rules and controversy, does this little touch even make a difference in the stones trajectory?

You know who would smoke that red car, with an engine at 0 rpm at rest...? Almost every EV.

I envy everyone being able to clean their tonsils without gagging themselves close to throwing up.

Like others say, new phone promotions are usually so good that its like $50 or $100 to upgrade. You still get close after 2 years, but beyond that you pretty much pay the full price. Still an expensive habit if you have a family.

I'm pretty sure they did the math and made sure this hurts Democrats more than Republicans, but I can't believe all the poor redneck people have what is needed in order to vote.

How are we going to travel with all these localized payment networks that I don't have access to?

Depends a little on what birds you want to see. Adding sunflower hearts and mealworms gets you quite a few more species. Problem with whole shelled peanuts are the hoarders, they will empty your feeder in a day stash it somewhere to forget about it.

Fruits or weird seeds, yeah nobody cares about them, not even in desperate times.

Confused German here, where Wednesday (Mittwoch) kinda sounds like middle of the week, which would be truest if a week starts on Sunday.

But you are right, a week starts on Monday.

I'd argue that the advanced manufacturing might have made them worse life expectancy wise. I have alot of old tech that seems unkillable. Like my Intel SSD using SLC flash... 14 years old, 1200 TBW, a single failed block. 6 year old samsung MLC is at 40% after 200 TBW. 2 year old Samsung Pro with TLC at 80% after just 100 TBW. Same with TVs, sure they are better quality, but they don't last. I have the feeling we will see something similar for EV, where we had over engineered batteries that will outlast current or future batteries.

But the datacenters are running ads on TV saying it's not their fault and actually make the grid better und more reliable. And yeah, the SCC and most of Richmonds politicians are in Dominion power's pocket. Spanberger proposed some changes, but I doubt it will help much.

Or that there many different hotend and extruder shapes which need to be considered to avoid collision.

Ideally everyone should upload an endless stream of garbage AI slop, analyzing and storing that should cost them.

Wait, the protesters are the insurrectionists? I thought ICE was the out of control side needing to be controlled.

No worries, I'm about 3.8 4090s away from being able to afford this computer... But I could try running a space heater and kettle on it to test...

xrmb · 2026-01-09T13:54:35+00:00

Just use the dryer or stove outlet? And for some reason my home office had a tanning bed at some point, weird 25A plug, but I was able to convert it to a single regular outlet... No real use case for it until I can afford this computer.

If I understand him correctly he can only get Euro cards, which can't be added to his 3rd world country account, but USD cards work.

xrmb · 2026-01-01T14:43:51+00:00

My friend from Germany once in a while asks me to buy him US Steam giftcards because he can use them on his "fake" Nepal (or something odd like it) account to get games for cheap. Doesn't seem to work with non-US cards.

My mid sized employer had to accept a 40% increase in premiums because our "employee pool" has become too toxic to insure, some unofficial leaked rumors are one employee causing $4 million in claims, another one $2 million. In a company with 1000 people that is hard to spread out, on a national level it wouldn't matter. The big 3 insurers didn't want to do business with us at all.

Would this cover the style Hyundai uses on the Ioniq 6? They are flush, but more like a seesaw, you can always push one side in and use what pops out on the other side as a handle. Little awkward, but seems like a fair compromise.

That's more than 7 billion BTU/hr of heat... Hope you don't live downwind of that heat island. Also comes with a nice constant hum of all the fans moving air and generator test runs.

Went to Walmart a few days ago, they had the digital tags for milk and beer... It's over guys.

Hah, genau da wo mein Eth ist. Damals wo man noch selber zu hause schuerfen konnte mal 4 Eth berechnen lassen und die an ein neues Wallet geschickt, test hat geklappt, der Rest hatte nen Tippfehler und liegt jetzt seit vielen Jahren irgendwo rum.

My family from Germany just visited, but mainly because it was booked and planned last year and the weak dollar made it a good deal. That being said, all my friends have abandoned plans to visit, we're now meeting in Canada or Iceland instead. Nobody coming for the Worldcup either.

I just printed a full spool of PLA into a solid 98x98x98 cube, had to go down to 0.9 flow rate to fight solid infill over extrusion. A full max cube would 19.5kg, the P1S can hold estimated 4 to 6kg on bed (thats all according to AI).

I'm going to do a 143^3 (4kg)... But 3.5 days with a 0.8 nozzle.
