If it doesn't come with the 3d printer, a pair of flush cutters is insanely useful. Just be careful with them, especially if you have a cheap pair. Probably wear eye protection.

If you think you would find them useful, there are also filaments at different levels of softness, bounciness, and foaming variants of those. Particularly useful for the soft ones as you can get different levels of softness by changing printing temperature. For any it helps to decrease weight.

For 3D modeling software, Fusion is good but annoying to obtain, Onshape is good but has a non-commercial license for the free version (and makes all of your files public), Freecad is FOSS, decent but not quite as good, Blender is good for detailed or sculpted things that are more art-y (although it's often very difficult to achieve certain shapes that are easy in actual CAD software)

My modelling advice is to keep in mind where supports will go, what places can be bridged, what details the printer can achieve, what axis the vertical should go on (for strength)

Might make sense to just have the motor at the bottom of the drill, then you just need to supply power and coolant down. Need to anchor into something though so it actually does anything and doesn't just spin the cables

mostly the part 4, its just very.. inspirational? maybe not the right word but idk how to describe

Isn't that like half of cars nowadays?

Originally, the president did have basically no power. The whole federal government wasn't supposed to do that much, and the executive branch by itself was supposed to do almost nothing compared to today. They didn't even think there would be a standing army. States not being willing to put in strong reforms by themselves led to more executive agencies and executive branch influence over the country. (Which is all controlled by the President, since that made sense for the things that they thought in the 1790s the executive branch would be doing.)

The whole system was made around an idea of who would do what, which has turned out to be completely different after 250 years. It's not really surprising that it isn't working very well.

I don't really know where I'm going with this. To even get a sane and effective Congress, we need voters to be aware of the real world, which seems like the largest hurdle right now. In the past, large and effective reforms have mostly been lead and advertised by the President, although it's possible that with better voting systems and less presidential power parties would be able to cohere behind consistent and strong visions. Conservative think tanks seem to be able to do that currently, but they're very quiet about it and I don't know of a progressive equivalent.

Compared to most other countries at the time, it was very democratic.

Yeah, I rewatched the launch from Everyday Astronaut's livestream and he actually had better footage, he had a tracking camera showing the booster separation

Outside of the launch part, I think it's mostly because SpaceX has set the standard so high, with tons of high resolution cameras streaming over Starlink even during reentry

Yeah, just the 2 identical failures on Starship V2 I think destroyed a lot of trust

and afaik they still haven't had a reentry that hasn't seemed at least somewhat like a miraculous survival... I know they were testing out different types of heatshield tiles on the last launch though which was where a lot of the weirdness was from

What I was referring to though was the very.. optimistic timelines they've had in the past. HLS was supposed to be ready last year.

Interestingly apparently water vapor from rocket launches can be similarly harmful to CO2. Water vapor doesn't usually get into the upper atmosphere, and has a hard time exiting, but still acts as a greenhouse gas.

 

3 places where I feel like gender separation doesn't really make sense


Sports

Separation of men and women in sports is fairly admirable as it gives people a chance to showcase their skill that would otherwise be outcompeted. It additionally is nice as women are a group that are often discriminated against and exposure in previously limited areas is nice. However, I don't think that a strict gender separation is really necessary. I think that an ideal system would allow anyone with higher skill to go to the top of their league, relative to the physical ability determined by their genetics. I'm not very into sports, but I get the impression that people's enjoyment often comes more from people's character and effort than the absolute magnitude of their ability. Short v.s. tall people in basketball are one example that comes to mind; a shorter person would require much more skill to reach the same level as a taller person currently. I'm not much of a wrestling person, but I think this is addressed there through weight classes. A possible wider idea is be some meta-classification into classes based on the characteristics that cannot be changed with more practice or other self-improvement.


Bathrooms

this is basically a summary of this very silly 2kliksphilip video

Urinals are more space-efficient than toilets, but typically only are found in men's restrooms. Therefore, with equally sized men's and women's restrooms, the men's restroom gets higher throughput assuming an equally sized demand, and has under-occupied stalls compared to the women's room. Even if both are perfectly sized for average demand, there will still be inefficiencies when outlier groups come in. There's really no reason other than tradition to not just separate out the urinals (if desired) and unify all of the stalls, with full height walls if you think it isn't private enough (Really, as a 6 foot 2 guy, it's silly how low stall wall tops usually are).


Pronouns

I was working on a thing recently and had to refer back to someone in a sentence that already included 2 men. I know that some other languages have primarily gender neutral pronouns, but a concern that I have had is that it would make it harder to tell who someone is talking about. I think there are some alternate systems that are better at resolving general ambiguity though, like having different pronouns for the person most recently named vs. 2nd most recently named, etc. There might be languages that do this already, idk, I just speak English and a teeny bit of Spanish lol. I haven't put all that much thought into this but I'm sure there are ways that could make this problem in communication even easier than it is currently. If we could ever get an opportunity to modify common speech.

I was trying to set up mail for my server, to send status emails, gitlab emails, etc. I know this can be done with relays but I was interested in sending mail directly using SMTP. Apparently my ATT residential internet blocks outbound signals on that port by default, although there are several reports of people calling customer support and getting that changed.

The most recent thing I can find was someone on Reddit 3 years ago:

xnojack: Probably depends on the rep. Just got mine unblocked a week ago. I read online though its better to say you're looking to allow SMTP outbound rather than port 25 outbound. Cause on the reps end its called something like SMTP outbound filter. (link)

I tried to call in and get this changed, the rep was very helpful but either something's changed on their end or he was looking in the wrong place. Anyways, I was wondering if any of you have gone through this process recently and know if this is still a thing, or have any advice.

These have both been taken with the exact same camera from the same location. The one on the left is with the OnePlus camera app, and the one on the right is from a community modification of the Google camera app to work on the OnePlus 12. The Google one looks a lot better because they use super-resolution from multiple short exposures automatically.

The Google camera app does not usually look better without zoom (in my short time testing) and also has a harder time focusing.

 

like really, you're just realizing that now??

What New York might look like with a double slit as your camera aperture.

Here's a different, big double slit:

 

in the new minecraft april fools snapshot

it makes your gear degrade quicker with damage

 
 

With the smaller 14b model (q4_k_m), just letting it complete the text starting with "why do I"

edit: bonus, completely nonsensical (?) starting with "I don't" (what could possibly be causing it to say this?)

 

I was thinking about how hard it is to accurately determine whether a screenshot posted online is real or not. I'm thinking there could be an option in the browser to take a "secure screenshot", which would tag the screenshot with the date, url, and whether the page was modified on your computer. It could then hash both the tag and the image data and automatically upload this hash to some secure server somehow. There would need to be a way to guarantee that only the browser could do this, or at least some way to tell exactly what the source was. I'm not much of a cryptography person, but I would be surprised if it isn't possible to do this. Then, you could check if the screenshot you see is legitimate by seeing if it's hash exists in the list of real hashes.

 

mitosis or some such

 

I'm sure everyone's fine with this
