  • Fwiw, I don't recommend an ender. Admittedly it's capable of great things, but certainly not out of the box.

    Although it's not a huge selection, the best printer I've used in terms of ease and quality is the FLSun Q5. Prints great out of the box, auto-levels, easy to repair, plus it's a delta (which are just magical to watch).

  • This is what I do too. For double letters draw a tidgy little circle on the key - that should be enough to let the text recognition know what you want. It's a useful movement just to have as part of your swipe-typing technique.

  • This. It's less to do with religion, and everything to do with human nature.

    From Ancient Egyptian Priests and Medieval Christianity, to Donald Trump and Boris Johnson - when in times of uncertainty, people will turn to anyone claiming to have all the answers.

    "Us Vs Them" is the oldest tactic when it comes to gaining and consolidating power.

  • That isn't how free speech works.

    All it means is that the government can't stop you from saying what you want. It doesn't mean that you can say whatever you want with no repercussions.

    YouTube is not the government. It has terms and conditions that you agree to when you sign up. They have a right to delete your comments. You do not have the right to post whatever you want.

    Sorry, but that's the truth of it. If you circumvent the built in filters, then users can still downvote / report you and creators can still delete your messages.

  • As @princessleiascat said, I think you're assuming that most people can relate to this, but the truth is that they can't. I've never had a comment deleted from YouTube - ever.

    As a creator, I've deleted the occasional comment someone else has made on my content, though.

    This is why most people are defaulting to the position that maybe it's more about what you are writing, rather than a broken system.

  • If you're the DM, you can just fall back on Rule Zero - the rules are what you say they are :)

    You've done a really nice thing - I'm sure these kids will never forget it. I sometimes forget how much harder it was just to acquire stuff as kids.

  • The romans called the area Judaea....land of the Jews.

    Just a quick correction here. Judaea is actually named after Judah, son of Jacob.

    The word 'Jew' comes from the place name Judaea, not the other way around.

  • I kind of agree, but there is an issue with this.

    Even within England, the difference in pronunciation from region to region means that there can be no 'true' pronunciation. Add to that the weird a/o vowel, the t/d thing and odd emphasis on 'r's at the ends of words that many Americans use, or the wholesale reassignment of vowel sounds that New Zealand uses, and you'll find that any 'proper' way to spell things is not how the majority of the world says it.

    The biggest issue is that English is an exceptionally fluid spoken language, but began solidifying as a written language hundreds of years ago.

    Even if we did a do-over of the spellings in written English, it would fall out of sync with the spoken language very quickly.

  • Exactly this. I still use a 0.4 nozzle and the results are more than satisfactory.

    These figures were all support-free designs by EC3D, and are a joy to print.

    At 0.08mm layers, you can feel the lines with a fingernail, but can't see the from more than a few cm away.

  • I'm only going to tackle the tech side of this...

    How difficult would it be for AI photo apps to filter out words, so someone cannot make anyone naked?

    Easy. The most popular apps all filter for keywords, and I know that at least some then check the output against certain blacklisted criteria to make sure it hasn't let something slip through.

    But...

    Anyone can host their own version and disable these features, allowing them to generate whatever they want, in the exactly same way that anyone can write their own story containing whatever they want. All you need is the determination to do it, and some modicum of ability.

    People have been been creating dodgy doctored photos long before computers. When Photoshop came out, it became easier, and with AI it's easier still. The current laws about creating and distributing indecent images still apply to these new images though.

  • Permanently Deleted

  • Authenticity.

    Totalitarianism is usually easy to identify. A corrupt democracy still has a veneer of legitimacy in a way that an out-and-out totalitarian regime does not.

  • Seems that a lot of people have said something similar, but FWIW...

    I've been able to move my left eyebrow by itself for as long as I can remember.

    I taught myself to move the right eyebrow in 15 minutes standing in front of a mirror. This was about 20 years ago and I can still do it.

    For anyone interested, as people have said, it's about isolating and learning the 'instruction' that does it. In this case, seeing as I could raise both eyebrows together, I just did that repeatedly whilst holding the left one in place with my fingers. Fifteen minutes later, and I could do it without needing the fingers.

  • I feel like the analogy of the camera would be more valid if Nikon designed a camera that was specifically designed to cater to the needs of child molesters.

    Almost all guns are designed as weapons first and foremost. That's it.

    Fencing is a sport that allows people to duel each other. The foils are items of sports equipment - they have specifically been designed to not be lethal.

    Guns, on the other hand, are not items of sports equipment. They are weapons that some people use for sport.

    In the US, gun companies are quite happy to produce these for supply to the untrained, unregulated masses. And actively promote this as totally normal. I'd say they hold some of the blame.
