It’s four wheel drive not four wheel stop.

In the “Three body problem” one of the main themes is an alien invasion and threat to the entire planet earth. As part of humanities plan to come up with solutions is the idea that any person or company found to be working on any technologies or plans to escape this planet is commiting a crime against the entirety of humanity and are charged accordingly. With the idea being that any effort going towards escape takes away from humanities effort to combat the threat.

Anyways since I read that I’ve wondered what it would be like if we treated the threat of climate change that way.

I load and run two large fiber lasers cutting sheets of metal up to 1 1/4 inch thick.

They said 24 hours not 80, lol.

He was featured on Tom’s channel during one of his guest runs a few years ago, he has lots of good ones in the backlog.

Fuck, I’ll give 'em $2.

I’ll just go ahead and copy a previous comment I made for this one, because as always a lot of people don’t feel like reading the article.

"Painting was behind glass, the point is that in a climate change hellscape all this precious art is in danger. If all the people who read about a painting they’ve never heard of before get angry about “paint being thrown at it” they’ll really hate what’ll happen with extreme weather in a climate disaster. "

These activists have some weird ideas sometimes, but this isn’t really one of them. If you read the article they all acknowledge that what they did they aren’t somehow entitled to do, and that they will probably go to jail for it as well. The entire point as with all protest is to shove it in the face of all the people that ignore this issue on a daily basis.

Oil companies are doing the same thing to all precious art and nature and all the things you love, so where is the accountability for them?

TL;DR these people are annoying, and that’s the fucking point.

All toy guns in the US have an orange tip, you can see this one just in shadow on the end. That doesn’t mean there haven’t been problems with what you are imagining in the past though, not smart to point it at anyone.

Fucking, what?

Yeah, if your main form of offense/defense is that you are: large, and have massive fuck-off tusks on your front then charging seems to be a pretty good go to.

Pikes were used much the same way right? Surprised I never put the two together, ancient humans weren’t stupid so of course they’d realize that was a better way of causing harm than just throwing it. Not to mention their use of leverage in weapons like the Atlatl. No clue on the timespan of these things but I do find this stuff interesting.

I have the ability to listen to whatever I want at work so I hardly ever fail to finish a book unless it’s really not pulling me in.

I wouldn’t go so far as to say it was nowhere near as good as the first two but it certainly was different and not in a way I found interesting. A bit slow to get to the point I guess is how I would say it.

Made me think about sentience more than the first two, though I don’t know if it alone provided enough info to really do anything beyond those initial moments of “huh, I guess that could be the case.”

I believe story graph either has or will have that feature. Or there could be monthly posts on books about it, should someone interested in running it show up.

Wouldn’t be a bad idea to have a bookclub on the fediverse really.

As for what features work, it depends on your model. Here is a breakdown showing all models and features. TL;DR the only thing that doesnt work for my model is the built in webcam as it is some proprietary chip or whatever. All other features work fine, typing cover pen and depending on the app the pen is recognized as having two different ends like for an eraser. I’m not much of an artist myself but I have messed around with Krita for doodling and Rnote for notes. I happen to be using Nobara as thats what ive got on my desktop and it has the linux surface changes built in. But you can poke around the surfacelinux subreddit (icky R site I know) to see what they use. OH, and last thing is that some linux distros just WOULD NOT install for me, i cant recall the details but it was a known issue at the bios level that kept me from installing Aurora. Keep that in mind if you go through with it and it refuses to boot and install lol. Feel free to ask more questions btw. :)

Running Linux on a surface pro 7+. Going fine. Google Linux-Surface. Note: some distros will have these changes builtin.

In some states you can’t graduate without passing that test, I know that was the case in Missouri. That shit was hard.

Lol, what the fuck for?

I just received a nice Sprite Pro direct drive extruder and all metal hotend for my Ender 3V2. Spend a night ripping the thing apart and transplanting the new stuff in. Change some settings, tram the bed in, pid tune; all the things.

About to load some filament and do a test print when I hear twang… “Wtf”.

Look over at the printer… and the x axis belt had snapped.

Now I get to stare at it for a week.

Feeling the pain my guy.
