Actually I printed a few decent ones with my Ender 3. A couple tests on my new A1 came out really nice.

Proctologists need not reply.

Dunno how that’s relevant but thanks - LOLOL worth the watch.

FoxOS - coming soon?

Speaking of a chromebook experience, installing ChromeOS Flex on my wife’s slow, outdated Surface Pro made it sleek and fast again. Can you suggest a Linux distro that would be similar on old laptops?

As a retired software dev, for me Windows is simply a longtime habit enforced by past work environments. I did use Linux for over a year on my main PC but went back to Windows so I could keep using my old copy of Visual Studio. My deeply conditioned shortcut keystrokes didn’t work in VSCode - in fact, why did they change so much of the UI? But now that I’m used to VSCode, which I only use for hobby coding anyway, there’s no excuse and I intend to go back to Linux by year end.

Does it have to be a giant tree tho? There are floating machines cleaning plastics out of the ocean right now. One of them I’m pretty sure was conceived by a high school student for a science project, and it worked so well somebody built it. Good shower thought tho.

But petroleum isn’t just plants, it also includes organic matter from animal corpses. Think before you say these things, Mitch.

I always wonder how many people who think eating meat is murder, evil, etc. have actually watched animals die in the wild. If I had to choose between getting knocked out with a stunner or being chased down by a predator, struggling and screaming while being torn apart by teeth and claws until finally losing consciousness from blood loss and pain - which is how wild animals tend to die - I would absolutely pick the slaughterhouse any time. From that standpoint alone I would absolutely call eating meat the lesser evil.

Of course death is only one dimension - many domestic animals live in terrible conditions - but mistreatment isn’t necessary for vegans to condemn using animal products. Even eating honey is frowned on, simply because bees are animals. I don’t think that simple flat rule takes enough information into account.

LOL yes, even from here you can still smell the reddit. Say the sky is blue and somebody will object because it’s not always, and maybe even go down a rabbit hole because the sky includes outer space, which is black, and also glowing stars of many colors. And ur mom!

Since fossil fuel contains animal remains, wouldn’t veganism be inherently against all petro products, including plastics?

A rear door is handy for throwing shit in the back tho - I wouldn’t even buy a car without a hatchback for that very reason.

The engine compartment of a really old car, say pre-1970s, is almost comically empty. Anything newer has so many ducts and hoses you can’t see the ground.

Zenith Space Command remote.

The button pressed a spring-loaded thing that struck a piece of metal, almost like a wind chime, emitting an ultrasonic note. I discovered by accident that I could make my parents’ stereo change channels by clinking coins together.

Those remotes used little spring-loaded mechanical chimes that emitted ultrasonic notes. As a kid I discovered my parents’ big Magnavox console stereo would change channels if I clinked a handful of coins.

I think a lot of old school products worked better than modern equivalents. Take toasters - when I was a kid our toaster consistently made toast with the same degree of doneness. I’ve had modern ones that said “microprocessor controlled” on them that couldn’t make consecutive pieces the same. Also flashlights. Simple metal flashlights just worked. My new sophisticated one cycles through multiple levels of brightness and then strobing (so I can what, have my own rave?) but sudden motions make it spontaneously turn off. I mean how hard is an ON/OFF switch?

And what’s the deal with airline food? I’m thinkin’ hey!

Fascism saved my buddy’s life in 'Nam, maaaaan.

Wow, yeah if only we had some alternative to Trump.

Same here. And speaking of bubbles I haven’t seen anything about NFTs in quite a while. I don’t think that bubble burst tho, it just sort of shriveled up and blew away.
