    Ass Detection: Peak 24th century technology
  • Look, there's a reason you can wire almost any heavy machinery into any random console or wall panel... When you run this much power to every station, exploding panels are gonna happen.

    It's either that, or we run our ships like Vulcans, and that's just boring.

    Americans Are Alarmingly Underinsured for Flood Damage
  • My parents don't have flood insurance, but they live on a hill that's about 150ft above the surrounding fields, and roughly 200-250ft above the closest waterway. If their house floods, then society has effectively collapsed in their state.

    My sister and in-laws, however, all live within eyesight of the closest river or stream, and maybe 25-50ft above water level inside valleys. My wife's sister's house has had water get up to about 10ft away from the house, and STILL nobody has flood insurance.

    SOME people can get away with it. Most can't and don't even realize it.

    Does today feel "Christmassy" to you?
  • Not even a little. I went out in shorts and a t-shirt for about an hour, exchanged banal pleasantries with family until my anxiety got the better of me and I had to leave, sat in a room with no windows watching old shows and snacking, and am waiting until exhaustion allows me to sleep a couple hours until I go to work on one of the two days remaining on my schedule. After that I might not have any work for months unless I can find something close by that doesn't make me legitimately contemplate things. I have a broken tooth, some kind of respiratory thing going on, and an unmentionable medical issue that really needs to be seen by a doctor but I can't afford one and my government insurance was denied because I made a couple thousand more this year than last year.

    On the bright side, my truck is finally working again and assuming the now-slowly-leaking-while-on fuel pump doesn't catch a spark before I can afford to have it replaced I don't have to share a car this week. Which is nice.

    Letter urging residents to report 'brown folks' condemned by Oregon officials
  • "while not criminal"

    Hmmm. Making threats? Of a political nature in order to coerce change?

    In my neck of the woods, we call that "domestic terrorism", but they freely admit that to the world:

    3d printer recommendations
  • Having owned a couple low end printers, the ender 3 is my favorite budget option.

    I've installed a couple upgrades, some of which I 3d printed on the printer itself, but my favorite ones are the borosilicate glass bed with a thermal pad to help spread out the heat quickly, and a dual z axis stepper motor.

    If you're not into tinkering, I've heard good things about Bambu, although I do not know much about them myself. Apparently they're more user-friendly.

    I enjoy working on my devices, but I would like something with more reliability than "recalibrate everything for every single print" sometimes.

    It really is a hobby where spending just a little bit more will get you a ton of extra features and user experience.

    Matt Gaetz ethics report says his drug use and sex with a minor violated state laws
  • Lol the people arguing about "evidence" and "investigations" are completely missing the real point, IMO.

    If you or I were up on these charges, investigation, trial, and sentencing would be carried out in less than a month without hesitation or issue as far as the government is concerned.

    The ONLY reason it's taking longer than that is because of who it is.

    Full stop.

    We all took the DVD boom era for granted
  • I just want "Special Features" back with behind the scenes footage, some cool things about the movie, a commentary track with some of the actors and director, and maybe some Easter eggs in hidden menus.

    And I'll pay a little extra for a special case and LOTR style special features.

    I've got a 20ish year old dvd set of the extended editions and to watch all content, I'd be watching for 5/6 hours per movie. Note: this is NOT a negative. The BTS documentaries are fun and are basically straight to DVD movie length.

    "hey why aren't people continuing to buy our game..."

    Yeah. Great mystery, that one.
