It isn't that the prices are jacked up, it's that it's enough toilet paper to last until toilet paper goes out of style.

It doesn't really. It's a T-intersection, where the top of the T has stop signs, and the bottom leg does not. If you are on one side of the T, you must enter the intersection, such that you are in the path of the bottom leg, before you can see if there is anyone coming from that direction.

The people coming from the bottom leg (with no sign) have no reason to stop or slow down, and would generally not have reason to look in the direction the fence is blocking visibility. I don't think traffic coming from that direction even recognizes the obstruction. All they see is someone suddenly creeping into the intersection in front of them, when they can be mere yards from them.

They're building a school near where I live and they've got these things all around the site. Problem is, there's an awkward intersection at one of the corners of the site, and traffic coming from the street that is 95% blocked by the fence does not have a stop/yield sign. So now everyone has to slowly approach the intersection, and slowly creep forward until you're halfway in the intersection to see clearly, and hope a car isn't barreling towards you at 30MPH.

God, I used to bike around here.

I marathoned the Lord of the Rings trilogy ~15 years ago on cable.

It was awful. Commercials were bad enough, but I'd only seen the extended editions, and getting through all three movies in like 7 hours felt like absolute blasphemy. It would cut to a commercial break and when it came back it's like they skipped 30 minutes every time.

My work buddy will only eat meals made from single-ingredient foods because of "all the extra shit they put in there", and smokes a pack a week.

Damn, Scott Manley. Haven't heard that name since the Kerbal Space Program days.

I think capitalism was a great and necessary thing to get humanity to it's current post-scarcity state. As you said, production and innovation were really aided by capitalism in the early days of man, but now that we have all the shit we need to survive, all it does is deprive those without.

Lychee (the resin printing slicer) offers a 30 day trial. They have many users with the first name "Fuck" and the last name "Lychee", coincidentally all with sequential "fucklychee001@gmail.com" email accounts.

Anything bad = AI 😠

Reading the article, it seems like the intent of this technology is much more geared toward manufacturing supply chains, rather than saying "this part came from John Doe's Ender 3". As many people have pointed out, consumer/ hobbyist grade 3D printers aren't nearly consistent enough to produce anything resembling something as unique as a true "fingerprint", and when you consider that most printers are modified in some way... There's just zero possibility of it being used in that way.

The only way I could see it being used in that way is trying to prove that this printer printed this part; if they have the printed part, and it hasn't been post-processed at all (sanded, treated, etc), they could reprint the same part on the printer in question and see if it's "fingerprint" is the same. But I'd be pretty surprised if this tech could even reliably say, "this part came from an Ender, this part came from a Neptune, and this one from came from a P1".

More than just your cpu, gpu, and psu generate heat in a desktop, but they're the only units that normally have giant heat sinks with dedicated fans for cooling them.

If there was a hole in the center, but the main producer of heat was still covered, that'd be a pretty bad design for heat dissipation.

Lots of phones use the aluminum body as a heat sink, so it kind of is how it works.

I didn't look super closely at first and thought this was one of those full build plate adhesion tests and was getting ready to say how it was a waste of time to get it that dialed in. Yeah, melting heat mat is definitely a problem.

How about when you're anxious and taking fairly extreme precautions because you know you're not in a "safe" group?

There are cheap, easily removable and attachable bidets you can get and install on any toilet. Takes literally 15 minutes and a crescent wrench, if it doesn't come with a little tool.

"I reject your reality, and substitute my own."

Of course anything fringe is going to attract people who figure out body deodorant is fucking bullshit.

Found the stinky guy at the concert... 🙄

I fuck with the ese on the ground, flipping the camera off with painted black nails

So disappointed they changed clothes and went to a different venue 😉
