"Square peg, round hole" is not a lesson in shaping, it is a lesson in tolerances and overkill. Anything will fit in anything if you just leave a big enough clearance fit. Machinist big brain.
I donate to quite a few people close to me, as many are much worse off than my family and I are. I help them with projects, car repairs, house repairs, and dinners when things are tight. They never ask, I offer, and they'll accept maybe 50% of the time. I keep good company.
I've also put a few hundred dollars this one election cycle towards a few select political campaigns I care about, especially now that I'm in a good paying job. Not something i've done before, and it's not much but enough to at least feel like I'm helping get rid of fascists.
People forget Musk isn't actually technically smart, he's just good at buying into and investing in already good ideas using money he got by playing the capital machine (and his parents south africa money).
He didn't found PayPal; he merged another company with them and capitalized on their already good idea.
He didn't found Tesla, he invested in them and then drove the original founders out.
He did admittedly create SpaceX, but only by bringing on good engineers from the start after failing to buy ICBM's from Russia. Yes, he tried that... spaceX has been successful only because he gave them the runway to let engineers work right.
The cult of personality is insane, he's just another average investor bro who got lucky in the crazy growth of the 90's/00s.
Hot take: I swear a lot of these kinds of "protests" are funded by the oil companies themsleves to make climate activists look like crazy crackpots easy for the media and average Joe to dismiss. Like with the Stonehenge paint bullshit. Really?
The gangs getting back together again!
Austria-hungary! Czechslovakia! Yugoslavia! Soviet uni- ohhhhh fuck.
This being self hostable makes me instantly like this. Something like G photos that I could self host and dump a lot of shit off my phone storage would be amazing.

Ok, so a vast majority of 3d printers do not connect directly to a PC these days. They have a self contained microcontroller.
The workflow is:
- You design or download a 3D model you want to to print.
- Open the 3D model in a slicer software. The slicer takes a 3D model and, using a profile designed for a specific printer's nozzle size and controller, converts the solid volume of the model into G-Code, or machine readable code that is a series of coordinates and move rates. This tells the printer where and how to put plastic.
- Export the G-code to a .gcode (or other) file. Save that file onto an SD card.
- Put the SD card in your printer.
- Select the file on the printer display and away you go.
Now, some printers use a network connection component, eg Bambu printers have a wifi adapter. This let's them download firmware updates and receive print jobs from a computer remotely without needing to move SD cards. This does require the right software, e.g Bambu printers require proprietary Bambu Studio (or it's open source fork OrcaSlicer) that has the networking module to talk to it. This doesn't require special driver setup though.

Don't just hope, consider donating money or your time to his campaign. You don't have to be in Nebraska. This fight isn't over.
Oh you lucky bastard! I hope he won your support and you'll consider supporting him outside of the ballot box too.
Bingo! I will absolutely take someone who is staunchly pro-labor and pro-Roe, but maybe iffy on other "liberal" policies, over someone who is an out-and-out a corrupt corporate shill willing to overthrow American democracy for the party line.
An independent’s strength could give Democrats hope in hostile territory.

Supposedly. My other problem is sales on all gross receipts multiply on finished goods. as now you're charging 3% on raw materials, 3% on any intermediate goods, and 3% on final products, plus whatever % the companies are going to redirect to administer the collection of the tax... so what was a reasonable tax at first now results in a possible 9% or more increase in costs on all finished goods, which further eliminates a lot of the lower income benefit.
It would have been fine if it was a profit tax, since the point of profit taxes is to disincentivize profit hoarding and promote reinvestment/wage growth. Thats why the ridiculously high federal marginal corporate tax rates of the 50s and 60s actually worked, businesses would make more overall by keeping profits (percentage wise) low but reinvesting their excess in the business and their workers.
Of course theres a downside on profit taxes too, if implemented in this manner, they have the additional knock on effect of driving business (and higher paying jobs) away from the state and are harder/way more expensive to quantify/administer if you want to do it per product sold in the state.
I fully expect to get railed in the ass by the average Lemmy left-winger by this but I'm honestly not voting for it.
I'm largely opposed to it. Because it's (seemingly intentionally) mis-marketed as a corporate tax when it is definitely by any sense of the word a sales tax. Sales taxes on gross receipts are inherently regressive and passed onto those consumers who are dis-proportionally impacted more the lower their income.

I've been doing functional ABS and ASA lately and had a couple very annoying warpage spots. One was a total failure. (We won't talk about the other 3 failures that were wet out-of-the-box Bambu ASA...)
The X1C is definitely nice, but the all aluminum-and-glass side panelling has a sometimes-unwanted side effect: thermal conduction. The aluminum sides are so conductive that they do not allow the chamber temp to go above 40C, even after a couple hours of heat soaking the build plate at 100C before starting an ABS print. Enter: One random bath towel. doesn't look like much but just covering the three sides with a thin layer means it's good enough insulation to get the chamber up to 50C now! And the ABS parts look better than ever- every C counts.
Finding a solution to the state's road funding problems is one of the highest-profile — and politically tricky — problems lawmakers will consider next year.
Potentially big changes are coming to ODOT's funding model in the next few years. There are holes that the state can't patch.
The grant brings the total federal allocation to $2.1 billion.
Sorely needed.
100% chance that they'll still need to toll traffic to cover the remaining few billion in costs but it is a good step forward.
