You fool, the tax payers will fund it. The billionaire will merely provide the shell companies to channel government funding through, in return for some sizeable dark money political donation kickbacks that will enable whatever crooked politicians who allowed such theft to occur to absolutely flood the airwaves with propaganda at every election cycle.

That’s no moon.

TED talks have been absolute garbage for years, just corporate shilling and mindless pandering.

Even back in the days when TED talks were good, I remember learning a lot of cool new ideas that they made seem on the verge of tomorrow, that never materialized.

Fuck TED talks.

That phrase is just something the rich tell the poor to get them to bend over.

And the rotisserie chickens!

Another reason to avoid Bambu is that they use their own proprietary printer code file type (.bgcode instead of .gcode). Blatant attempt at userlocking/walled garden ecosystem.

I have an Anycubic and I never connected it to the internet. It calibrates offline and prints fine from a USB.

I don’t use their official apps, just OrcaSlicer which is open source (and “stealth mode” disables telemetry). The printer works great though.

The only functionality that seems to require internet (besides printing from the app or networking with the slicer) is the camera which is supposed to detect misprints and pause/cancel a project to avoid waste or skip an object so the spaghetti doesn’t ruin the rest.

But I don’t use that feature and it’s fine, just watch your first few prints so you know what tends to fail and what needs extra support, and watch any projects that might be iffy until you get a good idea of what doesn’t adhere well. But keeping your print plate clean goes a long way for good adhesion (avoid touching the center where projects print, and use dish soap to wash it when projects stop sticking).

Infrasound isn’t some fringe conspiracy theory, it’s well-understood, and infrasound weapons are banned by the laws of warfare because they literally torture people to death and can cause internal bleeding.

The infrasound in this article is obviously less intense than a deliberately designed weapon, but it can still cause extreme discomfort, pain, illness, and stress.

By the way, there’s only one pedal.

Well the context from the post makes it seem pre-exclusive because “talking to” is the name of a phase before exclusivity.

Because “dating” is confusingly starting to take on the same meaning as “in a relationship with,” which makes no sense but vernacular language doesn’t care about contradictions

Ah, but you’re forgetting that any media depiction of misogyny is assumed to be an endorsement of it, even though failing to depict misogyny is seen as obscuring it and therefore also endorsing it.

I don’t understand all these mental hoops we’re supposed to jump through these days just to avoid every faux pas. Some of these hoops are even in opposite directions…

Does that apply both ways? Cause everything I’ve read about modern dating culture is that women can talk to as many men at a time as they want to as long as they’re not exclusives, and if a man doesn’t like that then he’s an insecure chauvinist loser. At least that’s what I’ve been told.

But it’s still not okay for men to talk to multiple women at a time? I’m tired of these double standards.

Funny, this is the same cloudflare that harasses me every time I open a new tab on certain websites to check that I’m not a bot…

How ironic…

Fuck that. One of the biggest offenders of web scraping and bot traffic wants to force us all to install their spyware just to verify that we’re human when there have already been much simpler ways to do this without that bullshit captcha for years…

Nice fanfic, but next time stick to the prompt

“Excuse me?!? You’re supposed to be absolutely crushed by me blowing you off! I’m clearly in the right and you should be upset about it.”

Green dodged a bullet.

I hope they got in such a tizzy over this that it ruined their “plans with someone else” cause they showed up all sour.

Dating culture is so toxic, I’m glad it’s just me and my cat these days…

The URL of that last article you linked is SO misleading!
