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.

Soylent billionaires: food for the rich.

Clearly they never spoke to Bobby Tables.

Five) is a good one. Like “oh shit… I fucked this one up too much, I guess I’ll see how it turns out but I’m gonna start over with a new batch”

I’d love to see someone more creative with writing than me do some writing prompts with that premise. Maybe have someone from this universe ascend or something and actually confronts god as they’re spending time with their new family creation.

六> is also a good one, it reminds me of the idea that every single person is God. And when all of humanity has finally lived and died, god will become a single consciousness and join the rest of their kind. It kind of pairs poetically with Carl Sagan’s Pale Blue Dot.

The way I figure it, one of a few possibilities is true:

1 there is a god. He lets all the bad shit happen, and therefore isn’t worthy of dedication.

B: there is no god. Shit happens. Nobody is there to be worthy of dedication.

III- there is a god. It kicked off the big bang and sat back to watch. Either it has the ability to affect positive change and doesn’t, or it can’t. In which case, it’s still not worthy of dedication.

The end result is the same for me

Even when nobody mentions you, you still show up to let everyone know…

A person can dream.

", and other things said by people who don’t understand firearm manufacturing.

It’s pretty easy to convert most firearms to full auto as long as you have even a little mechanical knowledge, and some basic cnc tooling.

The cnc tooling raises the entry bar, but you absolutely can do the same things with a $50 trip to a hardware store. It just takes longer and more elbow grease.

I guess my point is, if you’re gonna do this, you should go after the whole industry.

Yes, I am aware how easy glock modification is. If I had a glock (I dislike hammerless) the theoretically I could 3d print a “giggle switch” and within a few hours of hitting “print” I would have what I need.

But whether it’s 3 hours or 3 days of work, it’s still possible.

So again, if you do this, please go after all of them.

(note, I hold the opinions that gun control needs to be drastically overhauled and my lgbtq+ friends and neighbors should arm themselves in places like the US and learn how to use your firearm, because the people who will be coming after you in the coming years certainly will be)

Make every company that has a whistleblower die in ANY way face extremely heavy penalties including, but not limited to: 75% taxing on all income for a period of time as part of a fine, jail time for executives, board members, and potentially large shareholders, potential nationalization of the company, etc

Make every company afraid to have a whistleblower die. Make them want to hire private security and pay for all health expenses to ensure the person lives because the alternative is the company ceases to exist in any way that benefits those in charge.

Damn, if you keep stuffing words into their mouth, it’ll probably suffocate them.

surely they’ll follow up with investments into US-produced solar equipment to boost the economy and bring prices down to competitive levels, right?

… Right?

Yeah, I don’t think anyone would ask you “Are you okay with sitting at the bar with nazis?” yet plenty will happily judge you for saying “I’d rather not have to deal with MAGAts and their opinions”

Sorry but if your opinion is “trans people aren’t people” or “blacks need to know their place” then your opinion is shit and no the fuck I don’t have to listen to it

I see their junk at every thrift store and flea market in Ohio.

I legitimately thought they went out of business.

Given recent CEO news, he should probably be more concerned with a different kind of “Blowback”… Him putting out something like this just adds fuel to the fire.

It’ll just be more gun control for the poor.

There are a lot of things the government is perfectly happy to let you own as long as you can pay the extra fees and permits.

Me, every time my wife tells me a story of her childhood dealing with her narcissist mother, enabling father, both of whom were neglectful and emotionally abusive to all their children, and her insane sister who for reasons too numerous to count, deserves a spot in whatever hell is the worst one.

Commenters are the worst.

Especially the ones that have custom profiles with names and shit.

Like Bro you aren’t fooling anyone, we all know you aren’t really a squid that flies.

Sorry about that, just a little transporter mishap.

I’ll get it sorted right away.

pats pattern buffer gently

Most people are too lazy or stupid to take the initiative though

Full stop, go fuck yourself.
