  If these weren’t made using the FDM process, they could be quite useful; but as-is the FDM process is weak along the Z axis, and these kinds of fittings aren’t going to withstand a lifetime of abuse – not only that, the kinds of plastics we’re printing with aren’t really regulated to any kind of degree, so depending on what kind of things are in the water, you could just be pumping large amounts of microplastics into your system by using something like this.

  It’s a great avenue for research, but we need more robust methods of printing for something like this.

  They “rebooted” it by wiping everyone’s progress and then making paid transactions the way to progress. It was doomed from the rework.

  I may be in the minority here, but I didn’t think Kamala was THAT unpopular. I still have my suspicions that the elections have massive voter fraud happening. For her to not win ANY of the toss-up states is…interesting to say the least.

  We need some new voter integrity protections put into place. Yeah yeah, I get that mentioning that is unpopular with dems, as it’s often equated with voter suppression - but last election cycle we had one black woman who had her voting rights restored get put through the legal wringer on if she was allowed to vote or not; meanwhile I had white folks in The Villages (FL), casting votes for dead people, get caught, and basically nothing happened to them.

  I am many things. People label me with many different words. Nihilist is one that certainly fits at certain points in life. Misanthrope is another. Life is the closest thing to heaven that any of us will ever reach, and not enough people realize that. But also - we’re not the protagonist even in our own story. The universe is so big, and our lives so short. We’re lucky enough to live here and now, where we have the understanding of the universe at our fingertips, and people are too busy worrying “inward”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hope you weren’t planning to play PhysX games on Nvidia’s new 50-series GPUs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, and a great post too - because some of your points here just point out that everyone ELSE have deprecated PhysX as well. Unity and Unreal both dropped it long ago. It’s basically a moot point for 99.9% of people playing games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hope you weren’t planning to play PhysX games on Nvidia’s new 50-series GPUs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It only ever got deployed in a few dozen games

  Is the only sentence in the entire article you need to be aware of.

  This is rage-bait.

  Jesus christ, I read this study when is was being titled “users who lack critical thinking more likely to trust AI”…and it’s morphed into this shit.

  Anyone ever play the game of telephone? This is like the 8th person down the line; and not at all what the study found at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Study Finds Relying on AI Kills Your Critical Thinking Skills⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re right it’s not the same thing as critical thinking, but it is a skill we’ve lost. How many skills have we lost throughout history due to machines and manufacturing?

  This is the same tale over and over again - these people weren’t using critical thinking to begin with if they were trusting a prediction engine with their tasks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Study Finds Relying on AI Kills Your Critical Thinking Skills⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How many phone numbers do you know off of the top of your head?

  In the 90s, my mother could rattle off 20 or more.

  But they’re all in her phone now. Are luddites going to start abandoning phones because they’re losing the ability to remember phone numbers? No, of course not.

  Either way, these fancy prediction engines have better critical thinking skills than most of the flesh and bone people I meet every day to begin with. The world might actually be smarter on average if they didn’t open their mouths.

  Oh yeah, I’ve seen my fair share of it. People here pretend that they’re only calling these huge incidences Nazis, but you’re exactly right. All you have to do is move a little out of line, and you’re eaten by your own.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yeah, let's stop with this "don't judge people for their poiltics" bullshit⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem is people like Andrea Junker here have gone way past the point of reasonability with their claims. So the people who are “supporting racism, …etc” don’t actually believe that they’re doing that. Because one teeny step out-of-line on the left, and you’re labeled right wing, and jumped on by thirsty hoards of people who would rather eat their own.

  Nobody who’s voting republican actually believes you when you say they are supporting these things, because we live in clown world, and they’re all brainwashed into thinking that you’re lying.

  I tell people this constantly, and get ignored or chided for the thought.

  Well obviously - me as well - but I’m being told by extremists here that any support for a Trump supporter makes me a Nazi, and I don’t want to be one of those.

  Oh wait, almost every fucking farmer is a Trump supporter…

  Separate the Art from the Artist is accepted by SANE people, who don’t have time to milk tirades so that they can play victim on the internet so that strangers think they are virtuous.

  You literally cannot escape these companies, they own everything. Every brand of every everything, and you’ve got a large corporation in there somewhere in the shadows. That’s why they tell you to separate the art from the artist, because it’s been made impossible to boycott anything.
