Details are sometimes important.

Clean the lenses cover with acetone. You’re doing a public service keeping that lenses clean and crisp.

Gallagher?

One is clearly the Antipope.

“The same thing you do. Your wife.”

Only way this is heresy is you left the lights on default.

You’re supposed to change the rainbow vomit pattern to something more nauseating. (or whatever you enjoy. It’s your printer.)

Go look up the demon core on Wikipedia.

“Look. She really wants to talk more. So if you don’t… I’m gonna come over there and drag you here. Your grandma is lovely. The ginger snaps are delicious.”

Is what think when I see that meme template.

They’re just saying that so you don’t go looking for the photos of them in 90’s era stovepipe jeans.

You’ve never heard of copyright law, have you?

It’s literally illegal to take someone else’s work and sell it or otherwise use it for personal gain.

Depends. How large is the mob? How far away? Are they clumped up or can they spread out?

How pissed are the three that reach the cannon when it proves the were spread a little too far out?

Sure.

But I have access to my passwords across most devices (Firefox plugins on desktop, apps on phones.) the best part is they fill it in so you can have ridiculously long and rand passwords.

use a password manager. Onepass. BitWarden. there’s others.

bet he holds his hands out and makes engine noises.

I feel like the 1st two would channel water onto your neck. Just saying.

Is it trust or or is it just what they can afford?

This is also my take on it.

Looks like some extrusion issues, at least for the stuff along the vertical walls. my initial guess is clogged nozzle, though it might also be temperature issues

I think a lot of the flerfer influencers know and simply keep the charade because it’s profitable.

I think a lot of the antiscience influencers are like that, actually.

I imagine Jesus had a massively cheesy grin- the kind a disreputable car salesmen had as they’re showing you a “real beauty”- and his hand out.

I mean, seriously. He certainly loved hanging out with the rich fucks, partying with them and stuff.

Squid on land?

The sniper even need to do something?!

I like the idea, but law of unintended consequences, all that. We really shouldn’t fuck with time.

oh. They fired him?

They didn’t even take the loot he stole. he was jailed for a bit during trial. and then he was let out. With no charges, keeping his share of the loot… and letting him go on a fourth voyage at all is kinda a tacit approval of his methods.

He’s like the killer cop they just fire and let go back to work in another agency. Or that asshole manager they send in to get get store/plant/whatever under budget and move on out when things are under control.

not exactly a ringing condemnation of assholery.

But they kinda did. After they brought him back for trial… they just let them go, and there was a fourth voyage a couple years later.

Eventually he just retired in Spain and while they didn’t give him the full amount of wealth he was owed…. That wasn’t out of moral outrage.

to be clear.. it’s pretty clear from his writings he had no idea how the african slaves were being, uh, sourced? I don’t know what he thought was going on down there, but he did get to a point where he saw slavery of any form as evil.

but yeah. it’s a fascinating progression and thing to settle on. “enslaving local people” is somehow more offensive than “enslaving foreign people and shipping them in.” I rather imagine he got to know a few of the locals. came to respect them, see them as humans and not something as lesser, but he never had that experience with african people, until, well, maybe he did. if that makes sense.

I think OP is referencing Bartoleme de las Casa, who was rather more of an anomaly than representative of mainstream Spanish society. He’s also complicated by the fact that when he first went to the Spanish colonies, he spent over a decade exploiting the ever living shit out of indigenous peoples. (IIRC, he was studying the book of Sirach and became convicted.) As he transitioned into being an abolutionist (one of the first? if not the first,) he suggested using foreign (african) slaves instead, which the spanish adopted as a law

But I’m not sure it’s really fair to say Bartoleme represents all (or even most) Spanish at the time.

There may have been others before the 18th century, but I can’t find them.

Yup.

But they want to control the pipeline all the same.

Don’t need a printer to do any of that. it’s also faster just to drive to a state that allows gunshow loopholes and buy an otherwise untraceable firearm. takes less skill, too.

part of the problem with that is that most of your ghost guns are “just” the AR 15 lower receiver- the part classified as the “firearm” because of some technicality only a lawyer can understand.

It’s not a load bearing, nor is it exposed to any particularly high levels of heat, nor any sort of particularly nasty gasses. So that can be printed in just about anything if the printer’s resolution is good enough. (IIRC, they typically call for resin printers.)

Then, the ghost gun peeps just buy the rest of the components retail and pay cash.

for fully-printed firearms, you’re looking at things like DMLS or other kinds of precision metalwork. It’s the kind of work that would be more expensive than roadtripping to arizona and getting loophole-gun.

Fun fact, you don’t need a 3d printer to make ghost guns, and you’ve never needed them.

Laws restricting printers aren’t about firearms, it’s about restricting access to disruptive technology before it disrupts too much of how we innovate. (Because innovation has historically been tied to big-industry with the little guy being unable to get into it. Because it costs a shit ton.)
