I think MAGA thinks you’re not part of the human species to begin with.

- Comment on Henry Kissinger died. 1 week ago:
That doesn’t matter: Chávez was the charismatic revolutionary, Maduro is his unloved but definitely authoritarian successor.
Trump is the charismatic “leader” who got the whole shitshow going, and Vance is ideally placed to entrench the dictatorship, because he won’t need any charisma to do that.
Although on a personal note, I really fail to see what sort of charisma this crooked crass New York slick his fans can possibly find in him. I really don’t.
- Comment on Henry Kissinger died. 1 week ago:
I think he’ll snuff it soon - or more likely, he’ll become so blatantly deranged that he’ll be impeached because he just has to be. And I think it’ll happen before the end of his term, assuming he doesn’t get impeached by the dems after the midterm elections.
The immediate danger if that happens is Vance, who’s 10 times more dangerous than Trump, because unlike Trump, he has a working brain, and is lying in the shadows.
- Comment on Why do bikes have a solenoid? 1 week ago:
Because a starter motor draws a hundred amps or so. The solenoid ensures that closing the circuit is done as quickly as possible to limit sparking - and also keep the sparking as far from the driver’s fingers as possible. Also, it’s closer to the starter motor and the battery, so the cables are short and don’t waste as much power as if they had to snake through the firewall - not to mention the PITA of routing monter copper cables through the firewall.
- Comment on Henry Kissinger died. 1 week ago:
I highly doubt he’ll survive this long. He’s a fat burger lover, and his personal physician swears he’s in excellent health - which probably means the exact opposite, seeing as though anybody gravitating around Trump is a pathological liar.
- Comment on Henry Kissinger died. 1 week ago:
Billionnaires are hoarders. Like all hoarders, they don’t need what they hoard.
The problem for the rest of us is, instead of hoarding empty tincans or Hello Kitty figurines, they hoard money that they get in large part by not paying their fair share of taxes, and the money they hoard lets them buy politicians who in turn let them steal even more tax money.
- Comment on Henry Kissinger died. 1 week ago:
The death of Henry Kissinger is a heartwarming reminder that life imposes an expiry date on even the most terrible people with power.
Or as Chaplin said: dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.
A comforting thought in Trump’s America. Because remember: Trump is 79. His expiry date is fast coming - and not a minute too soon, I might add. All we really have to pay attention to is that none of his younger henchmen succeed him.
That’s the legacy of Henry Kissinger. Damn his rotting corpse.

Of course they do: when you show Trump’s face to an AI, it thinks his date of birth is April 20, 1889.
- Comment on Update on the holes problem in bi-color prints 2 weeks ago:
The voids comme from the arachne perimeter generator - since that’s what the slicer uses in the letters, because they’re too small to contain anything but perimeters. You can even see them in the slicer’s rendition:
There seems to be a way to eliminate then - in the slicer anyway - by increasing the perimeter transition threshold angle from 10° to 40°, but I haven’t tried it yet:
One-wall looks better anyway, so I’ll try it again, without ironing this time.

Something tells me you’d have fun if you got yourself a printer and got into the hobby. Hint hint… 🙂
- Comment on Update on the holes problem in bi-color prints 2 weeks ago:
0.4 mm.
I mess around with one setting at a time, to find out what each of them does in isolation. At some point I will look into calibrating the rate of extrusion. But for now, I’m playing with simple options.
Also, it’s not a piece of art. This is a piece of equipment for the shop floor. It’s already plenty good enough. I’m just curious how to make it better 🙂

- Comment on Is there a way to avoid those holes? 2 weeks ago:
I finally had time to look into this - in the slicer at least - and I think you’re right: one wall should solve the issue. I can tell just by how the slicer arranges things. I turned on ironing too for the topmost layer. That should make it even better.
I’ll go to the office to start the print today. It takes about 5 hours - and 20 more minutes just for the ironing of that one surface 🙂 I’ll let you know how it goes.
Thanks for the suggestion!

I’ll look into this. Thanks!

Arachne perimeter generator to Classic
Yes I do use arachne. I did try to change it to classic when I was messing with my 3D-printed lens experiment, and while arachne wasn’t perfect, it left fewer artifacts inside the “lens” than classic.
I’ll try to revisit classic for this one print.
doing an ironing pass on your top layer may help conceal this from an aesthetic standpoint but won’t do anything for you structurally
I’ll try ironing, This one is purely an esthetic problem. The part is just a cover for a case that holds electronic bits inside.

Well I mean, technically that’s not incorrect: drink enough of it and it will kill anything, including you.
- Comment on The Return of the Pebble Smartwatch Is a Sign People Crave Something Unique 4 weeks ago:
Exactly.
People don’t root for feature-poor stuff because it’s unique but because the features it’s missing - that you want - preclude the hardware and the hardware maker from slipping in features that you don’t want.

- Comment on The Return of the Pebble Smartwatch Is a Sign People Crave Something Unique 4 weeks ago:
I think it’s also a sign that people want a device that doesn’t come from Big Data, isn’t online and isn’t designed to put them under surveillance and invade their privacy.
