I have to keep my roller in my bag. If I use it too much my hands start to hurt. Growing up, I used to have a flash drive I spun on a lanyard, and my most recent obsession has been this thing. It makes the most lovely clicky noise when I want, and is dead silent when I don’t want.
It was a whimsical exaggeration.
… Taken to it’s logical conclusion and combined with snarky, but mildly helpful, advice.
As is tradition.
Lmao, the furrys got him. Ain’t no going back now.
I suspect how many printers he buys matters a lot less than the reach he has with his youtube channel for bambu’s financial reports.
That’s from the arc with the failed MIT teacher who hated Malcolm. The other kid was his favorite. Both Malcolm and the other kid thought the teacher was punishing them by putting them together.
This is the exact type of thought that only ever shows up after the whole thing is over and done with, likely while overthinking it on the walk home.
Heat pumps move heat from outside to inside, and they use less energy than the amount that is brought into the insulated area, resulting in efficiency numbers over 100%. (less energy used than the amount brought inside was used to bring the inside energy levels up)
This article says, for cancer specifically, we don’t know yet. https://www.cancer.org/cancer/latest-news/what-to-know-about-nicotine-pouches-and-cancer-risk.html
We do know that most methods of using nicotine contain other shit that we know to be harmful. We also know that nicotine itself can also cause long term health problems such as addiction, heart issues, digestive problems, etc.

Federal job applications are different from regular ones. You have several hurdles to meet before getting hired that just don’t exist in the regular workforce.
The biggest hurdle is the resume. You have to list every job you’ve had, while also demonstrating the job requirements they posted on usajobs.gov, while also keeping it under two pages long.
When you apply for a federal job, your resume isn’t getting sent straight to the office you wanna join. It’s getting sent to OPM personnel who look it over to see if you meet the stated requirements. If the job listing says three years experience handling packages, your resume must have three years of package handling demonstrated in it. It doesn’t have to be exact, (Amazon packages or receiving shipping at McDonalds every week is fine) but it does need to be worded in such a way that a stranger could tell that you have three years of package handling under your belt. Because it is a stranger who is checking for that.
Once it passes review and your resume meets the listed requirements, then it gets forwarded to the local hr, which is still not the office you’re applying for, where they’ll give it a look to do some points comparison on all the resumes they get to see who they’ll interview. After that, if you’re on the top of the pile, they’ll give you a call for an interview.
There’s a lot of great resources at reddit (I know!), because a lot of federal employees still hang out over there. It’s worth a look at the various subreddits to see what the latest info is.
From the top since you seem to have forgot;
This is a really cool project and really speaks to the changing nature of warfare. And, once again, highlights the real reason so much money has gone into FDM processes.
If warfare is not “the real reason so much money has gone into fdm” why did you say it was?
You’ve missed my point. Obviously governments fund manufacturing stuff, including 3d printing. Obviously governments also fund research into better war technology, like with boing and everyone else. You’ve proved the point of that several times over.
What I’m asking for is evidence that 3d printing was funded specifically with war in mind, especially from 20 years ago (as compared to five years ago with the advent of the ukraine/russia war).
When I first asked about this, I didn’t think it would be such a hassle, and I had actually hoped to see a neat article about the history of 3d printing and how it’s been specifically developed as a way to make better weapons for over twenty years. What I got was scorn, mocking, and questioning of my basic mental capacity because I … Couldn’t do the research myself?
Correlation is not causation. The government funds boatloads of shit that doesn’t work out, in the hopes that it becomes eventually useful. The covid19 vaccine was under development since the early 2000s because of swine flu. Is it right for me to say that government expected the swine flu to be used for war purposes because they funded research into it, or would you ask for more details about how the swine flu vaccine was specifically war-related research before beleiving my wild claims?
Or just plug your ears because… I don’t even know why. You do you.
If you ever received any pushback on this theory, this is why. Asking for evidence is not “plugging my ears”. Incredible claims require incredible evidence, and you have provided nothing beyond a single link to the NSF, which is literally a government agency made for funding research into making literally everything. That’s not funding additive manufacturing for war purposes. That’s funding for all of the manufacturing methods because it’s just good fucking sense as a government to keep your technological edge.
You also included all (or many) of the wofld governments, not just the USA in your claim. Your half ass source doesn’t even include any government other than the USA.
Forgive me for not immediately trusting that the world governments are all funding additive manufactueing specifically to make war more efficient when you can’t even try to source anything beyond just the USA nsf.
Additive manufacturing (of which FDM is one of the most accessible techniques) has been a MASSIVE funding source amongst world governments over the past 20+ years.
I’d love your sources for this.
highlights the real reason so much money has gone into FDM processes.
That’s really a stretch. Fdm printing was held back for decades because of patents. If militaries/governments actually knew what it was worth they would’ve worked to fix that a lot quicker.
More likely is that fdm printing became so popular because of how easy it is to make a cheap printer and how useful a tool it is for, frankly, most anything. Weapons are only a small slice of what a good printer can actually do.
Of note, the reaction to having 3d printers capable of making weapon parts has resulted in legislation to limit 3d printer access, not to expand it.

Nah, “look how much new owning company didn’t fuck up” is actual news these days. Its good to know that they’ve been doing well since the aquisition.
