I heard Elon was born on the moon, but that could be fake too. I wish there was a way to know for sure, or at least see a small amount of evidence one way or the other.

Did they?

Wow dude I was trying to be helpful. That’s why I replied.

If I’m reading your comment right, you might be talking about gauging for inspection purposes, but that’s not what OP has here. I’d call it more of a printer calibration block.

Not really. See table 2 here (a ways down the page)

Cold generally slows degradation.

But using them at cold temps is bad

Mars was full so my ancestors had no choice but to come here :(

The biglyest lies

A drone operator usually is not standing directly under the drone, so no. Or alternately, the drone if probably further away from you horizontally than vertically during most of its operation.

One interesting thing here is that, for a given altitude, the antenna gain will be higher the further away the drone is.

NYTimes reports that IDF claims Hamas killed them shortly before they were found. I thought I recalled seeing elsewhere that they were claimed to have been shot, but I can’t find that source at the moment.

Of course, how credible is the IDF?

they get audited, at least, yearly by law

The IRS doesn’t audit annually, companies hire 3rd party auditors. And it’s not a tax requirement, it’s a public-company requirement.

Yes there is a difference, but LLC is a legal concept, not a tax one. The IRS taxes sole proprietors the same whether or not they have an LLC.

Tax entities include sole proprietorship (default), partnerships, s corps, c corps. Any of those can be LLCs, but they don’t have to.

Profitability is just a proxy for whether someone is legitimately running a business, or just trying to save money on their hobby. Businesses can deduct expenses, hobbies cannot.

So if you are running an etsy store or an engineering company and buy a 3d printer to make parts, the cost of that 3d printer is subtracted from revenue for tax purposes. If your “business” is actually a hobby, it’s not legally a business expense and therefore it’s not deductible

Now I have a virus :(

I have an MK4+MMU that I bought partially with the intent of building PLA-supported PETG and TPU parts. I haven’t dug in too far yet but in the few prints I’ve done the PLA has severely degraded interlayer adhesion. Presumably this can be addressed by purging (much) more on changes from PLA, but if I had known this before I bought, I would have seriously considered a multi-head printer.

Fair. When I read “no one actually wants to use nukes” I think “no nuclear power’s public geopolitical doctrine involves a nuclear first strike.” But individuals will not necessarily toe that line.

“Tech” is a conflated term. The way I read OP is that they don’t want their cars main user interface to be a smartphone app. Doesn’t mean the car can’t be technologically advanced.

Sure, in the same way volcanologists could mutate to survive being submerged in lava.

I’ve heard the exact same analogy applied to alcohol killing bacteria and it doesn’t convince me

576 rankine

Personally, my brain manages to filter out anything with a leading underscore (I don’t know the origin offhand, I think some system I worked with at some point used those on files that I knew I didn’t care about). So when coworkers use leading underscores it slows me down a bit.

It does work though

Tangential, but Blind Guardian has one
