That Regular 400 Italic got enough curves to get me actin’ up

Just tried it out for the first time yesterday, didn’t even know they just pushed out a major update. Its my first time using it on a new Creality K2 Pro-Combo. Install was easy, seemed user-friendly with data, and the process of slicing went through without a hitch. Had a .stl file and was uncertain of whether it accepted STLs, so I opened freeCAD to turn it into a .3mf and import it into OrcaSlicer. That whole process went through without any problems. The part wasn’t initially at the orientation I wanted, and after ten seconds of searching, I found the tool to place the surface I wanted against the bed. The settings seemed overbearing at first, but after going through once, now seem intuitive and understandable. Created perfect G-Code for me.

Feeling pretty good about this, using only OrcaSlicer and FreeCAD, I got several components prepared as I wanted. Really feels like glory days of open sourcing.

You know its good satire when you gotta think for a minute about whether this was serious or not.

I don’t think genocide is a solution

In all seriousness, now that you’ve had time to cool off a bit since writing that comment, do you really think killing a third the population is an answer? If the answer is still yes, then please, step off the internet for a while and engage with your community a bit.

I’ve tried holding my tongue on this, but I gotta be real, I wanna brag. Abdul El-Sayed is running in my state, I get to vote for him, and there’s nothing anyone can do about it. It only took one single person I truly wanted, and this vote turned to feeling actually amazing. I’m headed to cast it in about half an hour’s time, and it just keeps feeling better and better. All y’all naysayers can tell me that my vote means nothing, or just allows fascism to persevere, but at least this single person gives me hope that we can slide things in the opposite direction. And to the others who say it pales in comparison to direct action, the infighting has always been there, but slow change is still change, and I feel good about changing course. Abdul is someone I truly feel can make positive change, and seeing just how many attacks he’s getting from news media and advertisements has me even more hopeful. It’s an onslaught of things saying “Abdul will destroy X, Y, Z thing,” and half the time the things they’re defending aren’t even good institutions. Seeing how AIPAC money wants him down this badly fills me with glee. God I want this man to win.

Anyways, last-minute attempt to make this relevant to the post: voting people in is waaaay more satisfying if you actually want the candidate, instead of “Ohhhh lesser of the evils…”

Somethin’ happening with them?

If I die in a planecrash, or heck, by any outlandish means at all, I really hope the internet doesn’t latch onto my death as if I was a part of some conspiracy. Especially when everyone knowledgeable says this is exactly how that event would go. Shameful.

This is actually a tough point, because of all the non-mainstream parties available, I’ve got the Greens for a moderate reform and that’s basically it. A Natural Law party appeared on the ballot, but I get the prayers-over-pursuit vibe from them, even if they may not associate with Christianity.

In my copy of the .pdf, a page break is after the first paragraph. Seems sections have been tossed together here too convey the point in a single screenshot.

Found the website of the group in question, seems they are mostly focused on targeting Tesla’s major shareholders as of right now, but say they have a stance against oligarchs in general under their ‘about me’.

It sounds so very Trump to pardon preemptively, yet if a pardon is given, it’ll be fair grounds for the pardoned to speak about their misdeeds without fear of prosecution, thus letting you spill the beans on everyone else. That’s likely why pardons aren’t given until people are already well beyond in the shitter.

Looking at how cash flow is routed between them, AIPAC is the largest donor of the both of them that I’ve found. Not that AIPAC wants to spend money, but if it buys loyalty, there’s a possible connection to be found.

Jokes on you, I put all my savings in USD in 2000 and I’m only down 50%. I just gotta keep putting more in, I’ll win eventually.

Dictators can still be voted for, and many of them are through highly rigged elections. A burecrat is someone who’s appointed to a position of power, which’d be closer in alignment with that definition. Really I don’t think either term would apply here in good faith.

They are. Specifically houses with some code violation, so they can get a justification to send in a contractor with a construction warrant.

Edit: I use the term “Construction warrant” because I believe that’s what it’s called, but I might be using it as a misnomer.

This article is from the 19th, nine days ago. As of the past few days, Israel has been undergoing an election for the seat of Prime Minister, where Netanyahu currently stands. Its been looking close to negative for his reelection in polls, a large resurgence against him bolstered by popular belief that he preformed badly in the wars for the Greater Israel Project. If he isnt reelected, we will likely see the wars scaling up, whether it be frequency or intensity.

As for this article, its likely a last-minute political move to indicate a willingness to go further with the wars, out of hopes to strengthen his reelection prospects. Whoever wins, I fear what will happen to Lebanon and Palestine.

Uncertain of how jurisdictions are broken up for this power; but construction/inspection warrants are far easier to get and dont require the same level of rigidity as a search warrant. This was my uncle’s realization of what type of people police really are. He was a construction contractor who obtained a construction warrant for a building that police have had their eye the residents of for years, and the police showed up to the facility when he did to get around the requirements for their search warrant, basically using him and his construction warrant as an excuse to search what they had wanted.

Something something, drones looking for construction failures --> contractor gets a construction warrant --> police have a way around a search warrant.

Also edit: This is a secondhand story from a while back, and the caveat of the construction warrant was that they could not enter unless someone answered the door. That being said, many people know not to answer doors for police, but construction workers? I can see even myself falling for that one.

Bit of a personal bone to pick, people like this make me feel cringe whenever I say I’m a pepper or have a firearm. Movies don’t reflect reality, the world doesn’t stop in a day, and if a single car collides with that behemoth, he’ll probably wind up in deep debt.

Not that there’s not merit to the mainstream right having more firearms than the mainstream ‘left’, but I think you might be discounting how many people left of the center are firearm owners in America. If you’re speaking from a perspective of civil unrest leading to political violence, I dont feel any group will have a hard time obtaining firearms, rather they’d be bottlenecked by the amount of supporters they can find to wield such firearms. A lot of people are talk, yet when you give someone a gun and say they might die for a cause, it vastly lowers how many truly want to enact violence.
