Its just a microcosm of how being poor is really expensive, while there are tons of ways to save money while wealthy. That doesn’t end up being the cause of wealth inequality but it does give a certain inertia to those class positions.

Edit: because I misremembered the quote and vimes does present it that way.

3dp really still shines best in a rapid prototyping mode, if they are really mass producing, they’ll probably be skipping 3dp in favor of injection molding or some other process

Its pretty reasonable that if you see a thing that is disguising itself as spam, and you don’t know that it is only disguising itself as spam. To one, not click the link, but also to downvote or report and move on.

The person making the joke probably knows that it is probably going to have a high miss rate, which doesn’t mean they shouldn’t do it.

I already mainly write with #1s

Yeah, looking at the wiki page for the cam workbench seems like it could probably handle VMC work, but even basic turning didn’t sound super well supported, let alone any kind of mill/turn or multi axis work.

Interesting, I hadn’t ever seen any discussion of cam side stuff in freecad, I might have to keep tabs on it a bit more. Looking at their wiki pages for the cam workbench it seems pretty far from adequate for my needs though.

Does free cad have any cam functionality?

Bivvy sacs are just that style of shelter, you can put different sleeping pads and bags in them to get setups that will be comfortable at different temp ranges.

Innovative??? It’s a fucking bivvy sac

In Minneapolis you might go ask the people at the hack factory.

If I recall correctly the ones on the plastic coil can be put back on the coil. I definitely misremembered how nail guns work, it’s probably been a decade since I used one with any regularity, and I have made a handful of compressed air blowguns.

You could probably easily add some fletching to them and maybe a little bit of a barrel to the nail gun to get a little extra muzzle velocity.

I’m not sure what your point is? Assad wasn’t really stopping that, given that it seems turkey backed some militias that were able to mop him up in like a week with a surprise offensive.

Turkey has already been waging war against rojava for years now, and has been perpetrating a genocide against the kurds more broadly for decades. Their situation has always been dire, but its not over for them.

All the lefties I know were excited about rojava/ aanes. I’ve never met a lefty in real life that was pro assad, not saying they don’t exist, but like: fuck em, assad sucked.

I don’t see how this specifically spells more unsettledness. There are already lots of extremists in power in the middle east. Syria has been in civil war for over 10 years and state forces have barely been holding on to the point where a sudden offensive was able to completely topple the regime in a week, it was already unstable and Assad had already failed as a stabilizing force, on top of being a butcher himself.

I’m not super optimistic about it, but the peoples of Syria do have an opportunity to build themselves more responsive governance and a better future, and I hope they will be able to make it work.

We do really seem to be selecting for it based on who wins tho

Different syrian rebel group to my understanding.
