Unfortunately not all theives understood the difference, so while your car might not be stolen, you could still end up with a smashed window.

The Washingtonians that you want to attack don’t live anywhere near your border and rarely travel outside of the trailer parks of Centralia, so I think your anger is misdirected.

If the stock market crashes and doesn’t recover, that money will be worthless regardless of where you store it.

Imagine how many American citizens are sitting in these camps and will be deported to some other country as Trump tries to eliminate due process and rob them of their day in court.

The black cylindrical piece with the blue cap at the bottom in the front right of the extruder assembly that looks like it’s hanging lower than everything else due to the perspective.

Ah yes the filament. I totally didn’t think it was a close call with the bed probe crashing into the print until reading the body of your post.

I’d say all those EU (and Canada) countries aren’t striving to be the economic powerhouse that Japan is and China already has 1.5 billion people compared to Japan’s 125 million. Plus most countries rely on immigration to make up the difference while I’ve heard (but maybe not true) that Japan is hard to immigrate to due to the disapproving culture toward foreigners.

I’m pretty sure this is a woman though.

I think you’ll want to look into Wake On LAN to do this. I can’t give you instructions (tried once unsuccessfully on a Windows installation) but that should be enough to get you started.

Yeah, this is all a big conspiracy, and I’m in on the take. 🙄

It’s literally all explained for the whole line in a chart on half of a single page. What are you even talking about? It’s broken down by data speeds and charging wattage. How much simpler can you get?

They’re already doing that. The USB consortium released new naming schemes and labels to fix all the bizarre naming conventions.

I remember the aisles of proprietary phone chargers in Best Buy and Walmart all sectioned off by device name and the Medusa like adapters that had 14 different plugs coming off of a universal barrel connector.

Water to Seattle? Is this legit because Seattle has no shortage of precipitation or water AFAIK.

I’ve been doing this off Windows PCs for over a decade now. I personally think professional grade servers are way overkill for this and will suck up a ton of energy for little benefit compared to consumer grade hardware.

Realistically you’re going to maybe be serving between a couple and couple dozen people at most, charging little to nothing for access, and hosting data that isn’t critical for anything, so having perfect uptime and loads of redundancy isn’t necessary.

In my experience, what is critical is setting everything up on an OS designed for this kind of work (which isn’t Windows) as that’s what’s caused me grief over the years and not anything to do with the hardware itself. I’m actually planning on rebuilding everything (leaning more toward doing little more than upgrading my OS, CPU, and RAM on hardware from 2018) and just posted about this a few days ago.

Even a lightweight, micro office PC or laptop with a mobile processor would work fine for this power wise, but lacks the ports and HDD mounting space to do the job well.

I think most people like it because it’s similar to professional sports but with fewer primadonnas and marketing. I think they think it’s more “pure.”

Plus they’re easily cleaned and changed.

As if voter turnout is the end-all-be-all metric for determining what people want. The DNC got up to quite a bit of fuckery in both 2016 and 2024. They had no issue sidelining Bernie from debates and news coverage, creating super delegates, and just plainly putting their thumb on the scales. In 2024, we didn’t even get a primary because old Joe went back on his “one term” promise and ran against every sane person’s advice, dropped out, and then a new equally unappealing candidate was hand picked for us. Who gives a shit what most centrists want when it’s clear that all they’re doing is choosing the “safe bet.” It’s no different from the person whose favorite music is whatever they’re currently playing on the radio. These people aren’t choosing anything. They’re just doing what they’re told.

Sitting out does absolutely nothing to advance progressive causes inside or outside of the party.

So does losing election after election because the DNC keeps backing the absolute worst candidates.

If the 2028 election was happening tomorrow I think the Democrats would lose again.

Absolutely. They’d probably try to court Mitt Romney to run under their ticket.

Democrats have shown time and time again that they don’t give a shit what voters think which is why they keep losing elections. Biden and Harris wouldn’t even turn their back on Netanyahu even when it meant Trump would get reelected as all tbe polling showed. Progressives don’t bother with it because they’ll be ignored either way and you can only be ignored so many times before giving up on them listening. Blaming the voters for the actions of the party is just giving them cover for their ineptitude. Voters don’t decide their policy.

At this point they do little else than act as controlled opposition for the Republican party, so this is just our reality for the foreseeable future. Maybe if the leadership gets ousted, we’ll have a chance but it looks more like a new party will need to be formed and the Democrats go the way of the Whigs.
