  1. tbh jettisoning leadership is a necessary step for basically every branch of the democratic party. They are dickless and feckless cowards who refuse to stand for any of their principals besides "keep our donors happy"
  2. tfw DOGE cut all the screw worm prevention efforts and many other Dept of Agriculture projects, but it's literally what the farmers asked for

    3D Printing

    I got my wife to love our 3D printer by using it for lots of her projects - loads of planter saucers to catch excess water from plants, a couple corner shelves, lots of little plastic bits to fix this or that. And holy smokes it's SUPER handy for replacing and repairing my toddler's toys lol
  4. ahyup that did it - shift+F5 got my CSS unborked
  5. Whatever change you made, it's causing Windows desktop Chrome browsing to look horribad and load extremely slowly. The header is furked and themes are borked, currently on Surly Main (default) edit: actually pageload is pretty fast now that my browser cached the style, but the style is still whack
  6. the beauty of the Free Market has determined that an oligopoly is the most efficient market design. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
  7. who are immediately turning around and eating the lunch of American soybean farmers - that all voted for trump!
  8. [laughs in Android] but seriously, this seems like an issue between the Invision board software and iOS/webkit. It's a bummer for imma but I'm also not sure what options he has since it's a closed source software
  9. it's almost like no matter what the Dems would have done, they would get rage'd at by MAGAts. Almost like they should just fucking ignore those troglodytes

    The resume functionality is a nice perk of my X1C - I've only used the feature once but it worked and saved a 10hr print when a storm came through. You might consider getting a UPS to plug your printer into though, you can get one at Costco or micro center for $120ish and it'll give you 30ish minutes of buffer.
  11. Lmfao "computing war"? Give me a fucking break. Deepseek was trained on $300k of compute - on fucking 1080ti's! Nvidia has overextended and we have been throwing money at a problem that is not yet optimized. But because throwing money at it means lots of money gets splashed around OF COURSE that's what is happening. The chips certainly are important, but you are grasping at straws. Maybe stick to hiding behind FRED charts?
  12. These are people who grew up watching their opportunities get smaller and smaller, and typically don't have much of a social life in the real-world. It's not a "that messican took muh jerb!" thing, but just a disaffected and antisocial thing. There's a snippet that really illustrates that: There's a whole generation of disaffected young men who have no social life outside of a screen, and they're VERY aware of their second amendment rights
  13. Channel 5 News on the scene, as always

    It's hideously expensive, but keep an eye out for any Tulomer filaments that go on sale if you find yourself needing more strength and temperature resistance https://www.dynamism.com/z-polymers-tullomer-500g.html? https://all3dp.com/4/new-tullomer-filament-put-to-the-test-is-it-really-an-easier-alternative-to-peek/
  15. There's an unfortunate trend of news outlets repeating news from another outlet and presenting it as their own reporting. It gives the appearance of a single source being authoritative. It was the same mechanism used to incite the Jan6 riot, since everyone was reposting the same disinformation it just HAD to be correct (if you're a useful idiot)

    That's absolutely wild that PLA+ can withstand those sorts of temperatures and pressure. Does it warp at all? Ive just seen too much PLA melting in the heat to even think of it for a high temp and pressure workload, after a shot or two it'll pass glass transition temp and get wobbly wobbly? Oof! You may be able to save the print if you can find which step it stopped on
  17. I wouldn't say I hang out with Icono lol. But at the range, the only time you see 8MM Mauser is when it's being shot by a Wehraboo
  18. Much like recovering a full clip of ammo after a shooting, a lot about this is pretty weird and suspicious

    Nice! Does the form cover just that one device or any future ones you print? I just can't see any polymer holding up to multiple shots in any sort of close timeframe
  20. More of an exotic/historical round for the Texas shooting scene though. Everyone I know would rather have 7mag or 300WM since the ammo is much easier to source with better options
  21. Babayaga thinks it might be 8MM mauser (7.92x57), which would explain the stripper clip and longer than usual casing. But bruh wtf? Dude had to have been shooting a museum peice
  22. 8MM mauser? Dude was shooting a museum peice? Fucking strange shit
  23. Not many modern rounds come on 5 round stripper clips. 7.62x54R, 7.62X51 (NATO), 7.62x39, and 5.56 are really the only round that you can easily get with metal stripper clips. They look a little long to be 7.62NATO, and don't have the right bottom to be the russian rimmed cartridge. Then again, we still haven't heard anything more about the ballistics of the shot that killed CK so I doubt they'll share any meaningful information with the public here.
