I don’t support regulating 3D printers
- Comment on Why 3D-Printing an Untraceable Ghost Gun Is Easier Than Ever (Podcast 18mins) 11 hours ago:
only the non critical to function parts can be plastic
This just isn’t reality. For .22lr, nearly 100% of the gun can be plastic, including the barrel. Here are two real examples where the only required metal component is the firing pin:
cnet.com/…/the-3d-printed-gun-controversy-everyth…
3dprint.com/…/worlds-1st-3d-printed-revolver/
For more reliable and more powerful guns, some critical components must be metal, of course, like the barrel might at least require a liner, but the majority of the gun and internal mechanism can still be plastic, not only non-functional or cosmetic parts.
And you can use literally anything else other than 3D printed stuff. So why is 3D printed even an issue.
Idk, I didn’t say it is. I’m just informing you that 3D printed guns are real, not a “fallacy”, some function very well and reliably, and can actually be made with almost no or minimal metal parts

Good thing that’s not how evidence or the justice system works 😝

Uhhhh my friend you can print a 9mm CZ scorpion that shoots as well as the real thing. Same with an MP5. You can find videos of them being tested and shot on the internet. A lot has changed in the past few years with 3D printed guns.

Factually, they searched his bag when they arrested him, put the bag in a police vehicle, drove for some time, then searched his bag again off bodycam, and that’s when they “found” the ghost gun in his bag, which, without a serial number, is conveniently impossible to prove it was not planted.

Great advice! I’ll do just that. Uninstalled.

These trends are basically the opposite for indie games. Look at Schedule 1 and STRAFTAT.

It’s fun. Getting away from it all and spending some quality time with nature. Hiking yourself into exhaustion. Sitting peacefully by the fire and watching it crackle.
Have low expectations and try to roll with whatever situations happen, things won’t be ideal or perfect. There might be rain, there might be mosquitos, it might get chilly at night, the ground might be hard where you sleep. The best thing to do is be prepared and try to keep a good attitude. There is a kind of fun to be had in persevering through any unideal situations that happen.
There are a lot of useful skills for camping that can , and a good way to spend the time on the first trip is to start learning these. Like if you’ve never made a campfire before, ask your friend to teach you how to gather kindling and build the fire.

Ironic, gallons per mile is actually a more useful measure for high fuel efficiency vehicles because it directly represents fuel consumption. Differences in MPG are more misleading to intuition as MPG increases.
For example, upgrading from an 18mpg car to a 28mpg car saves more fuel than upgrading from a 34mpg car to a 50mpg car. It is easy to be misled that 34mpg -> 50mpg is more savings because it is an upgrade of 16mpg rather than only 10mpg.
