Yup, this just sounds impossible without just banning the printers. Guns don’t have to conform to typical gun shapes. You could just print anything that can function as a barrel and some of the other pieces and then just go in the garage and whittle a handle from a piece of wood or something. Make a part that is much larger and then just cut off the piece you want. I mean there are so many ways around this it’s not even funny.

Exactly what I was thinking. It’s really funny if you think about it. There are currently more guns in the US than there are people. I guess they will combat this by limiting 3d printing.

That’s better. I was afraid he was just gonna chop her up. But having her as some portion of a meal… So much better.

My favorite band of all time is ELO. I found out the other day that they are still active. I saw some video and they still sound pretty good. So I looked for a venue nearby. Tickets were $280 +fees. But it’s also an hour flight and a hotel plus incidentals. Technically I CAN afford this. I just don’t want to. Guess I’ll just watch the videos. I can’t imagine paying $3000 to see Taylor Swift. I feel sorry for all the lower income Swifties out there. But I guess this won’t change since these concerts are still selling out.

Snake case, but I’m the World’s second worst programmer and just name files like this because I was alive when spaces were not allowed.

Agreed.

This is very sad.

Hell yes! I make a lot of things and having this ability really expanded on that.

I should point out that anyone interested in anything more than printing trinkets found on the Internet will also have to learn 3d drafting, at least to some extent. Bear that in mind.

LOL. Got totally down voted for simply explaining what happened. Glad it worked for you. It didn’t work for me. This was probably 10 years ago. I made a dual boot system and the internet simply wouldn’t work in Linux, so I had to keep booting into Windows, research, then switch to Linux to implement. Lather, rinse, repeat.

If Windows 11 is as bad as they say, guess I’ll be experimenting with it again.

Ummm, good luck. When I tried to use Linux on a new machine I built and had a bunch of problems, people on the forums told me to wait six months for someone to write drivers for the components.

There are so many problems with that article it isn’t even funny.

Here are a few:

1. It references the UK. The US and China are the biggest polluters. Meaning most cars are charged using fossil fuels and coal.
2. The article states it is a challenge to convert the DC from the car to the AC if the grid.
3. It seems to completely forget that a car has to be charged before it can discharge. The author seems to think thinking can solve it all.
4. A car that is used to charge the grid is LOSING the charge it needs to drive, which is the primary purpose of the car.
5. No matter how you slice it, some car owners simply can’t use an electric vehicle. People who live in apartments for instance.

The answer isn’t electric cars. The answer is LESS cars.

Power grids are failing. Sounds like a great time to add millions of EVs, to the mix.

Because they didn’t want to throw THEMSELVES out a window?

But that’s better than nothing, right?

I think we’re saying the same thing.

But few people but a car based on emissions, so why then did SUVs become popular? Or is it the case of manufacturers wanted us to like SUVs, so they made that happen.

I see. I’m confused by this too. When I was young vans were popular and station wagons were definitely more prominent. Vans fell out of popularity presumably because they were built on a truck chassis. Minivans drove better. Station wagons also fell out of favor. I guess because they were too family truckster.

So what happens? SUVs become popular which are basically station wagons built on a truck chassis. Go figure.

I disagree. They have gotten smaller on the inside. Totally agree in that. But the rest of the vehicle is definitely larger…and heavier. Look at a corolla today vs. there 80’s. It’s the size of a Camry back in the day. Trucks and SUVs, too. They don’t fit in garages now. Remember mini trucks? Well no more.

I think to meet safety standards, they have more crumple zones. Plus they have more features, which take up space the passengers would normally use. Finally I think people just like larger vehicles. Maybe they feel safer, even if they aren’t or they like the intimidation factor. I don’t know.

Trucks are larger because of the footprint of the wheels is large enough, they have to meet different efficiency standards. But I think a lot of that was driven by manufacturer.

Up to a max. So paying a little in the foreign country will not invalidate ALL taxes owed in the US. You might still owe some. Just FYI.

Maybe because he has expressed his admiration for Putin on more than one occasion, has sworn to pull all support for NATO, which was founded to defend against a Russian threat, around the time of the election the Russians hacked email accounts of prominent Democrats thus helping Trump’s campaign efforts, or because Trump chose to believe Vladimir Putin over his own intelligence agency in the matter of Russian influence in the 2016 election, Trump’s national security advisor was forced to resign after he had inappropriate contact with Russia to discuss sanctions then lied about it, and because there is a boatload of circumstantial evidence, like relations his family has had with people close to Russia. Maybe for those reasons or it could be people are just really unfair to poor Mr. Trump.
