  1. The "media" writ large just got done paying off several specious SLAPP cases from trump, I don't think they're looking to cash in those goodwill chits just quite yet.
  2. Hits keep coming for intel... https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/firefox-dev-says-intel-raptor-lake-crashes-are-increasing-with-rising-temperatures-in-record-european-heat-wave-mozilla-staffs-tracking-overwhelmed-by-intel-crash-reports-team-disables-the-function “If you have an Intel Raptor Lake system and you’re in the northern hemisphere, chances are that your machine is crashing more often because of the summer heat,” says Svelto. “I know because I can literally see which EU countries have been affected by heat waves by looking at the locales of Firefox crash reports coming from Raptor Lake systems.” The engineer even added that it has gotten so bad that the team disabled the bot, which filed these crash reports automatically, especially since these events almost exclusively happened to Intel Raptor Lake PCs — specifically, the Intel Core i7-14700K model. The instability issue exploded around the second and third quarters of last year, and it took several months for the company to find its root cause. Since this was a physical degradation problem, no amount of patches can reverse the instability — Intel’s microcode updates only mitigated it and prevent the conditions that triggered the instability from occurring. Just last month, Intel released microcode update 0x12F to address the Vmin shift that’s happening to Raptor Lake CPUs that have been running for several days in a row. However, Svelto says that this version also caused the bugs to “come back in full force”.
  3. Yes, it's easy to argue that inflation has been defeated since January 20, 2025 if you ignore all the reality surrounding your claim. Prices are going up, and tariffs are driving that. https://www.reuters.com/business/us-inflation-expected-rise-june-with-tariff-driven-price-hikes-2025-07-15/ (apologies for using this rag of a publication, next to no factual reporting from them unfortuantely) Further, you didn't bring any data or anything aside from your assertion, so I'm not sure how you'd like me to respond aside from going "ahyup okeydoke". Most tariff regimes take months to show impact, we're only just now seeing the first wave of price pass-throughs. But yes, of course. Anyone who disagrees is mentally ill. Such incredible community building that's not toxic, wow.
  4. No, I'm saying that the stock market is decoupled from reality, so arguing that the "economy is fine because stonks go up" is not really a thorough analysis. Oh, so prices aren't significantly higher than they were five years ago? I must have missed that the house I bought this year was literally half the price in 2019. Or that my same $150 grocery cart is now $250. I'm sure all the attacks on farm workers and invasions of build crews will definitely help with bringing those prices down too.
  5. Related to the protests, abbot has signed into law new speech restrictions on campus between 10P and 8A. So much for campus free speech, huh? https://www.insidehighered.com/news/students/free-speech/2025/06/23/texas-passes-bill-limiting-expressive-activity-campus What starts here changes the world.
  6. Yes, waiter? I'll have what he's having. I too would like to live in the alternative reality you're describing lol
  7. The state of Texas said it was good enough, for starters.
  8. Honestly, that would have probably saved lives. Campers waking up in neck deep water is too late. Waking up to ankle deep means they can probably scramble to higher ground. That was a difference of about 5 minutes in this specific case with the cabins near the headwaters. Sirens would have saved lives. I don't know why this is such an offensive concept to you.
  9. Is the CR post in the room with you right now? Man it must be tough
  10. Lol did you use chatGPT to write this response? The long hyphen gives it away, or at least it's become a characteristic linguistic tick of the chatGPT application And you didn't link the blog so idk what it said, but all the hyperscalers offer bot protection WAF rulesets that aggregate threat intelligence from their platform in the same way that is gestured at in the ad. What is an "AI crawler"? If it's a non-human agent programmatically calling a website, that's just a bot in WAF rule parlance
  11. That's pretty basic table stakes for any WAF worth a damn, tbh
  12. Raydog is 10000000% on the list
  13. no no let him cook - last time one of them did that it ended up with babayaga posting links to neonazis as his source
  14. Immamac and Blacklab as WWE refs is a pretty hilarious mental image, not gonna lie
  15. Man you @Hate to see our nations capacity to predict/forecast devastating storms and hurricanes get completely ruined for no fucking good reason.
  16. My favorite one of these comparisons is that a 90's era Furby holds more computational power than the Apollo guidance computers that landed man on the moon. Heck, the phone in my hands right now is significantly more powerful than the laptop I got my degree with
  17. There's some excellent rhetorical conversation with the Obi-Wan show too imo. Both Ahsoka and Obi-Wan were able to break through the shell of Vader and SEE Anakin beneath, but he rejected them. It wasn't until his son Luke appealed to his inner good that he fully took the mask off
  18. As if you needed another reason to kick tapa to the curb
  19. I gotta say, your commitment to the bit is impressive. I have no idea why Trump would suddenly do an about-face You're right. It's probably all just """pErFoRmAtIvE cRaP"""
  20. Like loud ass fucking sirens that don't rely on silent notifications to camp watch standers. Make sure EVERYONE gets the danger signal, not just a designated adult
  21. This is 100% Rex to completely miss what Troph is saying and frame it as "I'm glad they're dead" and not the "people with power were affected so change will probably happen". Classic shithead troll move.
  22. It's funny when people just blanket say "CR post" without clarifying what it is. Do you mean the "CR posts" about how all the posters who were foaming at the mouth in the Epstein thread about PEDOS are mysteriously quiet and introspective all of a sudden? Or the "CR posts" about our state's refusal to plan for emergencies that led to the deaths of hundreds of Texans on the 4th of July?
  23. I won't believe it until I see Guadaloopy defending it
  24. There's about to be a LOT of food waste and spoiled crops from arresting and deporting everyone who was working the fields

    3D Printing

    I just realized I never got back to you, I would focus on the dimensions that "bound" the geometry you care about. So like for the ladle, I would get the diameter and length of the straight section and then the length, width, and depth of the spoon section. If you use tracing techniques with your design, you basically just drop in a picture of the thing, trace/sketch it, and then add your critical dimensions back as constraints to your sketch to ensure it's correct where it matters, and good enough everywhere else. I haven't tried any food safe resins, but it's an available product that's used for sealing counters and food service uses. If you FDM print something, you can make it "food safe" with a thin resin coat to fill in the gaps and nooks and crannies. What sort of printer/materials do you use?
