- Comment on BYD is testing solid-state EV batteries in its Seal sedan with nearly 1,200 miles of range 3 days ago:
I’m sure there’s a huge catch, but even if it’s half the range they’re claiming that’s a huge step up. My guess is that much battery isn’t going to fit in countries with very strict safety requirements.

Stick that in your range anxiety.

Yes and there’s absolutely nothing news worthy about it unless you’re trying to deceive people for profit.

It was an automated system to prevent impersonation accounts which the actual news article this was based off of mentioned.

What a shitty click baity article. Not sure who should be more ashamed, the writer, the editor, or anyone who would share it.

They’re holding this child’s corpse up as a media shield as they lob missiles at hospitals and civilians themselves.

Yeah, what kind of monsters would target hospitals…

At least the AI doesn’t mean to lie to you, unlike the intention of the rest of the site.

While there’s an epidemic of vitamin D deficiency, I doubt it out weighs the economic meat grinder that is modern life.

Karakeep. It will throw an error if a website is down and you won’t get tags.

$22M will barely buy you a production run, let alone a foundry.
- Comment on tattoo printer 1 week ago:
There are some, but there are several reasons that you haven’t seen them about.
- The people who spend the most on tattoos are doing so because they are art made by an artist. I’m not sure if you know many people in the scene, but these aren’t the people getting flash tattoos at as random shop. The plan their tattoos, they pick their artists, and they spend many hours trusting another human to permanently alter their body.
- The most common type of printers in the world print on a 2D plane, even most 3D printers are printing on a nearly flat 2D plane one layer at a time. The human body is largely not a 2D plane.
- Human skin varies, ask any tattoo artist. You can’t use the same pressure or the same type of needle on every person. And it takes people with experience to identify this. People who pay the most for their tattoos expect this expertise.
Those last two reasons are not impossible solves in any sense, but they do greatly increase the cost and complexity of a machine that can automatically tattoo a person without injuring them.
I’ll also throw a number 4 in here. Speaking for the US, unless you’ve made a name for yourself tattoo artists are largely exploited here. They are mostly misclassified as independent contractors but then treated as employees. They are under value and under paid.
So, how inexpensive can you make a machine to both purchase and maintain, while also being easy enough to undercut the already exploited labor in your average tattoo shop?

Best Trek Season 1 episode of any series? I think there’s an argument to be made.
- Comment on Help with Bambu AMS (retraction) 1 week ago:
I’m guessing the angles are not playing nice with the mechanisms. It was designed down the the penny so there’s probably not a lot of extra torque in the system to compensate for new angles and friction when you mess with the layout.
- Comment on Help with Bambu AMS (retraction) 1 week ago:
Suspend your AMS from the top of the enclosure after putting it back together.

I love that AI has made people overanalyze every piece of corporate art and that now any sign of cut corners is proof of AI.

Does this mean Graphene is dead? Probably the real reason they would do this is to kill Graphene.
- Comment on miniature figurines filament? 1 week ago:
If you don’t have a safe space for resin you don’t have a space for printing ASA either.
- Comment on miniature figurines filament? 1 week ago:
If you’re printing miniatures on FDM you should check out
youtube.com/@tombof3dprintedhorrors
and
The first, Fat Dragon Games, has many years of experience, printing, designing, and selling models for FDM miniatures. He’s got opinions on filaments.
The second channel is more recent to FDM printing but made the jump from printing exclusively in resin and is now enjoying a journey into FDM. He talks about his preferred filaments in his videos.
I highly suggest you follow both of them. Also Fat Dragon minis aren’t the greatest detail or have very expressive poses, but they are design specifically to print in FDM without support. So I suggest checking them out. Brite Minis is another FDM exclusive miniature model seller.
I haven’t done FDM minis in a while so I’m not sure what filament to recommend specifically for that. I know I used to use E-Sun and I believe that’s what fat dragon used to recommend as well.
DO NOT use white filament to print minis. Pigments in the filaments affect their properties and there’s a LOT of white pigment in white filament. Black tends to have the least pigment, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that makes the best filament for minis. Fat dragon usually recommends grey but I think that’s more for aesthetic reasons.

Yeah, it’s not like there’s a reason fewer and fewer insurance companies will write a policy in that state every year. It’s not like the property insurance rates are the highest in the country.
