  • We can reliably screen for HIV (all blood donations are) why the fuck are homosexuals discriminated against over this.

    except that the tests are (per cdc) up to 90 days late in detection. So you may get infected and spend 3 months testing negative.

    And judging by OPs being german, where the rule (admittedly only since 2021) is “you may only have fucked one guy for the last 4 months”, this seems like being on the safe side, but not completely excessive to me.


  • I’ve donated plenty of times, because it makes sense that there is no other way to save lives than to donate.

    On the other hand, I’ve been wondering for years, that while I’ve been told a million times that “blood reserves are low - donate blood now!”, I’ve not ever heard that a single person died due to lack of available blood.
    Why would something like that not be reported if you want to motivate people to donate?

    My personal guess is that this comes because “lack of avaiable blood donations” isn’t a valid cause of death, the cause of death is whatever else (gun shot wound, knife severed artery / complication during surgery etc), thus it’s hard to pinpoint. Also Doctors may try to “save” blood, when they know little is available, and people may die that may have lived if they had gotten (more) blood, but also they may not have and it is hard to tell.






  • Words like this is a spit in the face of humanity.

    was Israel not attacked?

    I genuinely have issues trying to discern the propaganda from the facts.

    from what I gathered, I believed that Israel just took some land on which other people were living ~70 years ago, displacing these people.
    Those peoples didn’t like being displaced and tensions grew, until attacks happened on Israel, to which Israel had mixed responses with violence and suppression, rinse, repeat and escalate for decades.

    Now Israel had it with attacks from Palestine, and is going with the only chance it sees at maybe stopping it, which is a very violent war, presumably with the target of breaking the hope of resistance for Palestine (probably with lessons from the US interventions of the last 50-ish years where more civilized approaches failed)

    If this (very simplified) view were correct, it seems that they are acting out of self defense, at least if you accept the existence of Israel, because if not they are the aggressors for occupying the space in the first place.










  • There are also still a lot of QoL issues with the GUI and no real attempt to bring in influences and widgets from direct modeling. FreeCAD is pure of heart and pure of thought, but I’m not sure I’m quite there, though I can at least imagine it now

    fyi, there is now ondsel
    based on FreeCAD, their release introduction reads:

    So our thinking was: we should focus on a polished user experience and features that are essential to professional use. Let’s build something we feel good about recommending it to someone working on a deadline. And let’s build a service for vaulting and collaboration.

    Our primary objective is to provide polish and sorely missing features — that’s a large part of the added value. We’ve made big and small changes in the upstream project, but the four vital projects for us have been toponaming, integrated assembly workbench, UX/UI, and collaboration.

    full Article / release notes

    So working exactly on what most consider FreeCADs weaknesses I’d say

    Unfortunately toponaming is still not done for either. That will be a huge leap in usefulness for me.
    (fixes models breaking when their topology changes)


  • Infill has massively diminishing returns. I don’t think 100% is required. Usually it’s much better to increase the number outer layers.
    That said, depending on the cost scaling, the possibly positive effects of extra mass, and how much I want to avoid a second attempt, massive objects can make some sense.

    PLA becomes brittle with moisture (from your hands and/or air). I would recomment PETG / ASA / ABS (ascending order).

    Yes, basically all CAD and slicers (3d-printer software) can mirror. PrusaSlicer for example can mirror and then save to stl again.



  • I don’t think it’s necesarrily nothing, as sending all of that data is so comprehensive it should be communicated clearly by bambu, and it seems (but I don’t know!) That it isn’t.
    Sometimes you might want/need help and don’t want to send everything.

    For a lot of stuff partial gcode / sensor data around the issue should suffice for example.

    But it sounded way worse before the clarification, when I understood that it was sending those logs all the time.

    The open source license issues will be interesting, but probably irrelevant. We already can be rather sure that they already are in violation with BambuStudio and no one wants to spend the money to do anything about it.
