You could just Google his comments or listen to his podcasts he promoted violence.
Charles Kirk, the recently killed hard-right Christian nationalist, had been “repeatedly making references to physically assaulting and even lynching trans people on his podcast, the Charlie Kirk Show”.
Sometimes he targeted his violence specifically against trans. Other times, he incited violence more broadly against LGBTQ along with other minority groups.

If you mean as a permanent resident, then a family member who agrees to sponsor you (should you be unemployed and a drain on social services) is super helpful
- Comment on tool to make an stl from 2D image? 2 days ago:
This takes an images and makes an STL. There are others out there like BackflipAI that does some “intelligent” destermination when converting a flat image to 3D.
- Comment on Fuck you in particular 2 days ago:
The company that makes the paint version of VantaBlack licensed it only to one guy to use, the art community felt that was unfair. Thus the pink, and I think a new black etc.etc.
- Comment on Fuck you in particular 2 days ago:
They sell it as a paint, however : “Controversy arose when Surrey Nanosystems granted Anish Kapoor exclusive rights to use Vantablack in artistic applications. Many artists voiced opposition to his monopoly over the substance.”

- Comment on For people who relocated: when did you realize you want to live in the new place long-term & why? 5 days ago:
For out country to country move it was my dad landing a good job and them sponsoring us to move.
For my move from Ontario to BC, Canada it just took a single visit. The scenery and climate in BC was so much better than Ontario. More People had awareness of the environment being important, bikes were everywhere. Social programs made more sense. It just felt like a more civilized society than Ontario cities.

Yep a 2TB 2010 NAS drive still holding data, the spin up time is getting a bit slow and some SMART numbers show it is getting older, so moved my data to a new drive to avoid catastrophic failure.
However watch out for bit rot on old drives. I had a few images fail to load because bits had become corrupted.
A ZFS system would alert you or fix these problems
- Comment on How Transparent is Clear Resin in actual use? 1 week ago:
It can be clear like the formlabs sample, but its not clear like molded acrylic or acrylic sheet. It has some cloudyiness to it.
You can buy the keychain halves from all express, or epoxy molds.

- Comment on AI in Education: Doomed? 1 week ago:
I don’t disagree about learning how to use them, but we already have lazy uni students using it to write their papers and they exit uni not knowing how to think critically or how to formulate ideas properly
- Comment on AI in Education: Doomed? 1 week ago:
Anytime you present info to people without them having to digest, comprehend and formulate ideas, you remove opportunity for learning and dementing ideas. Kids copy pasting from LLM to fill in answers is just going to be mindless drol. USA already lacks education, thus why they have denied science, defunded education dwpartment, and are removing vaccine mandates. At this rate USA will slide into the Idiocracy movie plot quickly.

- Comment on '3d-printing a screw' is a way to describe how AI integration is stupid most of the time 2 weeks ago:
They do, its just not economical for energy and time, when you are dealing with something generic. Good for broken one offs
- Comment on '3d-printing a screw' is a way to describe how AI integration is stupid most of the time 2 weeks ago:
Yeah injection molding blows 3d printing costs out of the water if you reach above 10000 units production. Below that 3d printing can make sense, its just not as efficient time wise. You also have to deal with filament parts having different stelrength in different print orientations.
- Comment on '3d-printing a screw' is a way to describe how AI integration is stupid most of the time 2 weeks ago:
They have but its only for parts that warrant it by combining multiple pieces into one part, or a part that is highly complex to machine. Because its an expensive and time consuming process to print, wash, sinter, and hope the warp is still in spec, and still requires machining for features and faces that mate to other parts

It doesn’t seem much different than the USA bailing out the automakers or banks when they screwed up.

Ah cool. I had a similar conversation about when art supplies were very costly, even a single she of watercolour paper or a tube of paint, so the artist had to conjure up something worthy and commit to it, rather than digital art where you can churn out a lot of mediocrity because it costs you nothing

Had a meeting with our sales guy, and he asked how long I’d been running the same engineering software since I knew it so well.
Me: about 27 years.
Him: that’s longer than I have been alive.
Oof

I didn’t sign a contract. Also just flashed the Pixel to GrapheneOS, and bye bye google
- Comment on Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year 2 weeks ago:
I have GrapheneOS for work, everything works fine. The only app that I had trouble with was the Westjet app, it needs a certain capatibily setting turned on and basically wants full access to the phone. Ironically the banking app was fine LOL
