Yup, Gin Ekiss had said that the name was just a random word.

Reprap currently only prints in plastic. You need metal capability, which can be done but is harder to build. And then you need whatever newly patented tech was used here, which should be available for use in about 20 years.

Back in the late 80s and early 90s we had these things called malls, and they all played music without lyrics, because a mall is a noisy place and any lyrics get lost.
Also I think there were performance fees for playing copyright music. The laws are obtuse.
Anyway, most of the malls settled on this mass produced milquetoast “smooth jazz”. And then piped that into all of their stores.
This story has nothing to do with the creation of that pattern, which was made for a Sweetheart Cup Company internal design contest. The designer needed a name that wasn’t just Gina’s submission, and so a random word was picked.
The fact that most malls had started using those same sort of pastel colors might have had some subconscious impact, but that’s just my thoughts on it.

The driving was kind of janky compared to previous games. I didn’t mind the random hangers on that you’re saposed to care about, it was the driving that got me.
How do you fuck up driving in a Saints Row game?

The first game had a phone number to call, that would bring back dead characters as zombies.

Was that the reboot?
I stopped playing fairly early, and I also didn’t buy that game at full price.
It might have been part of a bundle…

The real answer is that yes, they were red, but no it wasn’t because they were poor quality.
It’s because the world’s largest exporter was Iran, and Iran had a blanket policy of dying their pistachios red.
- Comment on I don't know the reason why. 5 days ago:
Pistachios are native to Iran, and until the 1970s Iran was the world’s largest exporter. They dyed their exports with a food safe red.

Automation won’t do it right. And that’s the goal.
Besides, Wikipedia has always been human written for humans. Or at least, that too is the goal.
- Comment on English Wikipedia bans archive.today 6 days ago:
Altering the content of the archive certainly is different. And is undeniably worse.

I doubt the Torment Nexus would be this benign. Unless it’s just a lie and everyone gets the non-stop ads but are told repeatedly that they’re helping others. And every now and then, they get a message from one of the “viewers” telling them how great they are, and then the company gives them a minute of actual content, which is just an add for their higher priced subscription tier of highly rated adds.

My friend. I think we all know that abuse is more about the power over another than any sort of twisted lust.
ICE agents regularly engage in sexual assault of abductees.
- Comment on it's just science 1 week ago:
Another factor here is that Epstein was obsessed with physics and being friends with physicists.
While Epstein was always a monster. He could hide it around certain people.
But from everything I’ve read, the monster always comes out. And we all know what being Epstein’s friend eventually entails.

Probably for the best, then. After all, you didn’t send any mice or birds for them to eat.
- Comment on Welp straight to the bin 1 week ago:
Unless you sent two, that’s not going to work. It probably wouldn’t have worked with two of them, Bob Barker and Drew Carry have been preaching the Spay and Neuter message for as long as that show has been on the air.

A note to that, Thiel always says it’s someone who expresses empathy, compassion, or other similar sentiment.
- Comment on Microsoft's Notepad Got Pwned (They Added AI To It, So...) 2 weeks ago:
The software itself wasn’t compromised. But the download link was. So if you downloaded it in the last year, you downloaded state sponsored malware.
- Comment on Microsoft's Notepad Got Pwned (They Added AI To It, So...) 2 weeks ago:
LibreOffice is good, but it’s not a Notepad replacement. It does far too much for that.
If you want a lightweight text editor then Notepad++ is the one to look at.
Or rather it was until State Sponsored Hackers started running attacks on the domain. So maybe grab the software from GitHub instead.

I’d argue that he only needs to hold that position for seconds.
He’s standing with his back fairly straight, and is supporting some of her weight on his thighs. The natural way to hold a weight like that is bent elbow, held close to the body.

I’d argue that it’s more of a Snidely Whiplash sort of situation. One of them is going to be tied to the rails and railed.
- Comment on Discord Users Threaten Exodus Over Age Verification Face Scan Controversy 2 weeks ago:
I will go onto discord servers looking for answers that a searchable forum or wiki is better suited for. First thing I do is use discord’s shitty search tool, and if it works I type my question and the found answer again in the relevant chat for future searchers and get the fuck out of there.

- Comment on grass 😾 2 weeks ago:
I think I’d like for him to be in a locked room with his full cabinet and richest supporters, and then start shitting himself until he experiences complete intestinal prolapse.
Basically, anytime he shits himself on live TV I just hope that he keeps going until he physically can’t anymore. And then shits just a bit more.
It would be fitting for mango Mussolini to go out that way.

There are good appliances being made now. They’re just much more expensive than the cheap and “midrange” which is usually the cheap stuff with a coat of paint.

- Comment on TSMC to make advanced 3nm chips in Japan 3 weeks ago:
wired.com/…/book-excerpt-science-of-ultra-pure-si…
As I said, we can make nine 9 silicon. But not eleven 9. China makes billions of nine 9 silicon chips per year. But they can’t make eleven 9. Everyone is trying to create lab made eleven 9, it might not be possible. The natural stuff formed over hundreds of millions of years with basically no exposure to water. Which means no contaminates.
So yeah, we’ve not succeeded in recreating that.
- Comment on TSMC to make advanced 3nm chips in Japan 3 weeks ago:
Another factor here is that to make the most advanced chips, you need something called eleven 9 silicon. That’s silicon that’s 99.999999999% pure.
We can only artificially manufacture up to nine 9 silicon.
Eleven 9 has to be mined, and there’s only one spot in the world were it exists. A little town in North Carolina.
That’s why the US gets to say who can even attempt to manufacture advanced chips.

On a completely different note… Have you ever heard of Point Nemo? It’s the point in the ocean furthest from any land. Somewhere in the south Pacific.
Also there’s a type of nonsense that crops up among right wing jackasses every few years called sea steading. It’s a bad idea for a lot of reasons unless done in some very specific places and in some very specific ways.
Point Nemo would be a very bad place for sea steading.
