Ah, the Dorley way. @badambulist.bsky.social would be pleased.

Yep. Like, if some idiocy reduces the material harm being done to a people- that’s a win, overall? We can criticize the peace prize committee after folks are safe.

Friend-shaped! : D

Gotcha. Dang, I need a resin printer. : P

I was kind of digging the frosted look- like you’re saying, it’ll help the effect, plus it just looks aged in that fun imagineering sort of way.

You said it was a resin print, yeah?

The “glass” came out so well!!

nobody ever believes me when I say this

Oh heck Eldritch Darling is great- I didn’t realize they were at RCCC!

That just means it’s progressive rock, right?

DS9 scene. Rom is a Ferengi hero who has a large bald head and giant ears and lobes that sort of connect to make a unibrow and a ribbed pine cone looking nose. He's wearing a jacket that looks like those lick and stick backsplash tiles you can get at Lowe's. He's pictured here standing in a corridor, talking to someone and holding/reading a PADD. Closed caption reads, "Workers of the world unite. You have nothing to lose but your chains."

Gotta nuke the old phone from orbit- it’s the only way to be sure.

Tangentially, I’m partial to iPhones, but if you’re sticking with android, I highly recommend the new Pixel. Samsung makes good hardware, but I refuse to support the company. (Yes, yes, I know that’s absurd when I like iPhones.)

Let's be generous, here, and assume that by the solar system Altman wants to put the sphere outside the orbit of Neptune, and we'll just exclude the kuiper belt entirely.

That would be a sphere with a diameter of 6 billion miles.

Let's assume that it has the thickness of an eggshell: .3mm thick.

It’s called stagflation, and historically during the 80’s the remedy was to jack interest rates sky high to break inflation, even at the cost of jobs.

There has never been a more ominous skeet

Took them long enough!

oh. OH. Oh no.

Allamaraine!

Ubiquiti Store Rethinking IT

If the price wasn’t so steep, I’d recommend something like Ubiquiti’s system. It’s all local hosted, so avoids most of the privacy problems of cloud stuff, but still maintains a lot of the ease of use benefits of the cloud solutions.

As others have noted, Audio Technica is well known for a good reason. I will say that I’ve got a Fluance RT82 and like it quite a lot, just as an additional option.

Kiteo, his eyes closed.

Gotta second this one. Solidworks is the one that “clicked” for me as being intuitive 3d modeling. It’s also parametric, which is a phenomenal step up from a lot of other cheap options in my opinion.

I wanted to like FreeCAD so badly, but man that learning curve was a cliff.

If friend shaped, picture time. Seems all in order to me.

I think there is maybe a line to be drawn regarding whether the individual in question is continuing to profit from that work.

Ah, good old fashioned gaslighting. Very fun. : /

So, not stepping in to defend Tesla here AT ALL, but this is true of pretty much all EV’s, and people are still able to get useful range out of them even in cooler climates.

Ah. Sucks if that’s the intent. : /

Absolutely incredible.
