Progenitor of the Weird Knife Wednesday feature column. Is “column” the right word? Anyway, apparently I also coined the Very Specific Object nomenclature now sporadically used in the 3D printing community. Yeah, that was me. This must be how Cory Doctorow feels all the time these days.

In defense of Raiden in MGS2, though, I submit to you: But that backflip he does when you hang off of railings.


I don’t know if Japan of all places is ready for it. We’d better hope the zombies are vulnerable to airsoft BBs.


The WTF here is not necessarily that some component on the circuit board failed, but that the manufacturer charges $400-$1000 for it with a straight face and gets away with it when they undoubtedly have that board made in China for about $4 per unit.


In terms of raw horsepower as well as storage, probably. People were already doing audio fingerprinting in the early '90s on, like, 386 hardware. It ought to be trivial for anything even vaguely modern. The entire fingerprint data for a 2 minute chunk of audio is 3-4 kB or something. I don’t even think the size of the database will be hugely onerous.
Interesting. Well, if I ever want to get into any of that I’ll look into it. For now, the stock firmware is doing fine by me.
All stock. What limitations are those? I haven’t run i to any that have impacted me as far as I can tell.


Patrick Stewart’s one man performance of A Christmas Carol, in 1994.
A) This is indeed a thing that happened and absolutely was not some kind of hallucination, and B) obviously I don’t go to shows very often, do I?


The users who downvoted you were iconoclast@feddit.uk and FudgyMcTubbs@lemmy.world. I’m sure it would make their respective day(s) if you asked them.
I’ve given up trying to make heads or tails of downvoters’ behavior. I am convinced that some people here either think there is some “algorithm” that will magically stop showing them some type of content if they downvote it (I can’t imagine I’ve pissed in that many people’s cornflakes, so that’s my theory anyhow) and others who don’t quite understand that there’s no such thing here as reddit style karma.
I dunno. It is what it is. I think fewer people realize than they should that votes are publicly accessible on Lemmy, though.
(Don’t look at me. I haven’t downvoted anyone in four months.)
Nice try. I have the video ID memorized.
Sounds plausible to me. On reflection, I think I’d just run off a wooden box on my table saw if I need a cube to sit on.
My problem, as I’m sure many others have, is admitting when 3D printing something probably isn’t the best solution…


I meant to reply to this earlier but I forgot. If you’re getting at what you think you’re getting at, I in fact did not create !pocketknife@lemmy.world. Surprising, right? I simply tripped over it in my feed one day, make a couple of comments, and subsequently insinuated myself and took over the joint. The user who created it has been inactive for something like two years at the time of writing.


As he told it, Paul hated Christians and then had a vision of Jesus who told him off about it, and then he had a big change of heart and invented (modern) Christianity.


Arguably they didn’t. The modern trappings of Christianity were invented out of the whole cloth from Paul of Tarsus, when he had a “vision” of Jesus conveniently not seen by anyone else purportedly while he was traveling on the road to Damascus. Notably, all of this went down some decades after big J’s death.
It was Paul who discarded the bulk of the Jewish stuff, either out of desire to make it more palatable to his Roman peers or, possibly, simply because he was a raving nut. Paul was a self-described persecutor of the existing Christians, so he would have been in a pretty good position to know what their beliefs were to use as a starting point.


Couldconstitute war crimes
Blowing up a school and murdering 168 schoolchildren is absolutely a war crime. Journalists need to grow a spine and stop trying to spread uncertainty by soft-pedaling this shit.
If there were ever a poster child for printing something with a 0.4mm layer height of possibly even more, it may be this. One wonders how much infill you’d need to make it strong enough to sit on. Otherwise, I don’t know what the heck you’d do with it.
Could be. Usually when that happens there’s some variance in the surface, too, or some booger left behind. I didn’t see that here but it’s possible it simply got mashed flat back into the surface on the adjacent pass.
Yes, and let me tell you about how many times I’ve resolved to finally one day remove those stickers and I still haven’t. Now that they’ve been thoroughly baked in the enclosure they’re on there good.
That’s just the shadow cast by the gantry blocking the LEDs that are all arranged along the front edge of the machine.

Rather, I have two of these which are just tiny specs of grey or black or grey or something, which got printed right into the top surfaces. They’re small, but annoyingly visible. This is what I get for buying cheap filament, possibly.
It should be around here:
It might be underneath some hoses or similar due to PDO. If push comes to shove, you could always use a skinny funnel and pour it down the dipstick tube…
