  • A hydrogen engine (not fuel cells) could be better, best of both worlds.

  • Will the manufacturers be interested? Although I guess that a plain engine is much easier?

    I doubt it will happen.

  • Free trials on most cloud storage providers should be free and remain forever* as long as you occasionally keep the account active.

    Obviously, nothing is forever, providers might go bust, close their free tiers etc.

  • Anyone else having trouble with WiFi login pages not loading?

  • What was the actual issue with the insect hotel one?

    Are the winners chosen by prusa or just on public votes?

    Either way, I'm not sure that they should have to moderate all the entries, just the ones that win (within reason)

  • I love my prusa mini, but if your using it for practical stuff, the size of it's build area can be limiting.

  • I guess this kinda counts: https://wandrer.earth

    It gives you points for every unique mile you walk/run/cycle etc with the idea of getting you to go to new places and explore. You then get bonus points for doing 10/25/50% etc of an area.

    Works off Strava data, so you would have to actually record the walking. But I found it was great at getting me to go to new places.

  • I can't speak about the printer choices (I have a prusa mini), but I can talk a little about miniature printing.

    At the level of detail you probably want, filament dryness is vital. Damp filament strings loads and generally doesn't print cleanly, losing you all the detail.

    When you start off, you should be fine as long as you put your spools back in their bag with the dessicant pouches (could be worth buying more). But once you can, either making/getting a dry box or buying a filament dryer is probably worth it.

  • Looking it up, it doesn't sound like it. Looks to be planned for later this month.

    My understanding is that they are making the economy harder and completely removing the government subsidies that small cities get that make them absurdly easy. Other changes include making utility exports less lucrative and roads etc more expensive.

  • Has the economy 2.0 patch launched?

  • It's all about risk tolerance. It was thought that improved brakes on cars would hugely improve safety. However it had a much smaller affect as people just braked later... There is a level of acceptable risk that everyone has, increasing safety measures just means they take more risks up to that level.

    Helmets make people feel safer so they do more risky things and therefore hurt themselves more in other ways.

    Doesn't mean you shouldn't wear one though!

  • My cycling club mandates helmets, so not a problem. Only really come up with the hire bikes in cities etc.

    Nope, I was to busy being miserable about having a broken collar bone.

  • Personally, I have cracked open a helmet once. On a quiet country lane, with no traffic. Pot holes can catch you any time.

    I don't remember the crash, just the slide.

    That is what makes me tell people to wear helmets.

  • I really want to try though! Not dared to try on a road bike though...

  • They get money from premium views. I believe they get significantly more per premium views than an add view.
