  • I joined 20 years ago out of curiousity if I could pass. I did and paid for a membership for a year because why not, but i never did anything with it and never renewed it.

    The one thing I might have liked is the local meetings. Our local chapter had a website where they talked about the meetings. They were informal, just dinner and chatting in a private room at a restaurant, and you could learn a little about the people from the website too. It seemed to be heavy on scientists and engineers. This is near a national labratory so that made sense. I would have liked to have more friends like that, still would. But, for all I know, mensa scientists and engineers might be the worst scientists and engineers. They also appeared to be mostly over 60 and I was 20 at the time.

    There are discounts on certain things according to their website https://www.us.mensa.org/shop/benefits-and-services/

  • That's how they make paper and a lot of other flat goods like tape. The manufacturer makes these gigantic rolls then there's this entire industry called converting where a company, a converter, takes it and process it down into a finished product. They may add adhesives, lamination or printing to it during the process.

    You can go to a store and buy 3M tape but 3M doesn't actually make it like that. They make a 12ft wide, 10,000 ft roll that someone buys and forklifts into a machine that cuts it into a bunch of smaller rolls that you can buy

  • It's going to vary.

    My daughter's high school was 3.95, 4.25 and 4.45 for the three honors. She had a 4.3 GPA and got the middle honor. At the college she's in now it goes by top percentage and is somehow based on the previous year's GPA. So, I think, they average everyone's GPA from the previous grads and you get an honor for being in the top 5 or 10 percent of that number.

  • Well, not to defend these idiots, but according to the article, the wiretap turned out to be untrue. They're investigating leaks and Hegseth's lawyer started the rumor but now denies it and basically him and everybody under Hegseth are stupid and are turning the leak investigation into a way to attack each other for personal vendettas and everybody is stupid and lying and infighting and nobody above them knows what is going on, not that there's anyone above them with an IQ close to triple digits anyway.

  • I've used a lot of 12x3mm and smaller magnets without them jumping up and attaching to the print head but I did have it happen with larger 40x10x3 rectangular magnets. It ruined the print and caused a huge clog, but I came up with another way to embed magnets because of it.

    I designed a long 10x3 tunnel into the print, printed the object without pause, then slid the magnets into the tunnel. I printed a couple spacers to go between the magnets to place them how I wanted them and I printed a plug to glue into the opening of the tunnel. The plug was a second color so it stood out and made a little accent.

    I haven't done it yet but I thought it would be cool to add a little decorative design to the original object to be printed in a second color and make the tunnel plug the same second color and hide it in the decorative design.
