3D printers can move very fast. They typically don’t because it causes all kinds of deformations in the print. Mostly the issues are in acceleration, decelaration, cornering, and controlling the heat snd flow of melting filament.

I don’t know whether or not the accelerometer thing can be done in real time, or if there would be any benefit.

Check out the 2-minute Benchy for an example of how fast a 3D printer can get. This is a test print that typically should take about 45 minutes to an hour at very basic settings.

But also note the quality of the end product. It looks pretty awful. If we could print accurately at even remotely similar speeds, it would be fantastic.

According to the article:

But a former British Army munitions expert, who asked not to be named, told the BBC the pagers would have likely been packed with between 10g and 20g of military-grade high explosive, hidden inside a fake electronic component.

I don’t know what the actual truth of the situation is, but something’s fucky. I can’t imagine how Israel could plant explosives in those pagers. And overheating batteries would burst into flames rather than literally explode, so that would probably be mentioned somewhere.

Israel’s doing lots of fucked up shit lately, but I can’t see how this one would be their fault.

I live nowhere near the tropics. In fact, I live in a place where I could actually see polar bears and arctic foxes if I was so inclined. I like that they exist, but I don’t want them anywhere near me, as specist as that may sound.

How much you wanna bet that if this was an artic fox, or polar bear attack, the words inner city would never have appeared in this article…

Ok, that’s fair, but polar bears and arctic foxes aren’t known to frequent the tropics.

Atomic supermen with octagonal shaped bodies that suck blood

Interactivodular?

Ignorance is not stupidity.

Despite this being reported on tech news, most people won’t even be aware that it’s a thing because most people won’t actually read about it. And the majority of gamers probably don’t even know what a kernel is or why an anti-cheat with elevated privileges would be a bad thing.

Most people buy their computers with Windows preinstalled and probably couldn’t tell you if the CPU is Intel or AMD.

Ice dancing has been an event in the winter Olympics since 1976. Not just figure skating, it’s literally called ice dancing.

I’m partial to “j’encule,” which also would work in that context.

That’s bobsled. The luge is much smaller and scarier. I would imagine the risk of death is much higher in luge than bobsled, but much lower than skeleton.

May your socks be forever wet

You’re twice the the he ever was!

It’s a dragonfruit. For reference, it’s not like a standard cactus. Treat it more like a tropical plant. During the warmer months, they like to be watered frequently. In the winter, you might need to water it once or twice a month.

Using a urinal will most often result in no backsplash, keeping my hands pretty clean.

Using a urinal definitely results in backsplash, and because your hands and body are right in front of it, there’s even less likelihood of avoiding it vs a toilet. Just because you don’t see or feel it, doesn’t mean it’s not there.

He’ll get sued by Apple for infringing on their OS X trademark, and he’ll invent laws claiming he’s in the right, and he’ll lose billions, and then he’ll claim he invented Linux and he’s a genius.

It’s not higher because it doesn’t “hold up” since it’s not even fully released yet. It’s still in Early Access since 2021.

The answer is that a more precise request gets a more precise result. If you want six eggs, clarify that it’s eggs you want six of.

It can be tedious for both sidesto think about all interactions in this way, but it’s much more troublesome to have to deal with the fallout of a misunderstanding.

In the OP, the message could have been “Go ahead and send out this order” and nobody would have questioned what it was that had to go out.

As long as no rules were broken to do so. Don’t go bragging to the manager that an employee did something they weren’t supposed to just to help you.

She called them potatoes, not apples.

If you’re bombing civilians and blockading aid and starving the country, why would that be what you let through?
