@MadScientist_42 And "Armed forces day" is to celebrate those still serving.

Note the distinction people. Both are valid. Both are important. A moment of silence for those that gave all is apropos, though.

@3D_Fuel @RickRouth @loyalmoses @WeLikeShooting He loves working with small businesses, and collabs with several small filament companies. The relationship is what's important.

@RickRouth @loyalmoses @WeLikeShooting Because if @loyalmoses is saying that support of the channel would be HALF of Polymaker's marketing budget, we, as a bootstrapped US manufacturer, will certainly not be able to afford him. No CCP money or loan guarantees on our side, either 😔

Did Polymaker and I break up? After 5 years of collaboration? There were some serious issues, and sometimes you have to move on to build something bigger. More details soon... Watch the full SPICY video here: youtube.com/live/4YH0YyNS9…

@BradRTorgersen @DChadwickAuthor They wear tights under those shorts. Aside from the v neck they're completely covered. I saw more skin on people at the grocery store last week.

I went to a HOOTERS precisely once, outside of Ft. Dix in New Jersey. Taking my NCOs out for dinner at the end of a job. They had originally voted for a strip club, which I said was no bueno. It was an odd experience having "family dining" in a place where the object of the thing was to ogle some young working gal young enough to be your daughter.

I feel like after 30 years, their clientele is pretty locked in.

It's a shame @Polymaker_3D is ending the Creator Spool program - LM Sparkle Dark Green is such a lovely color...

@ZeekArkham Bring back the congressional dorms...

Congress is whining because they don’t think they make enough. Not only do I think they should be making less, but I think there should be serious investigations into their insider trading. Let me know what you think.

@ZeekArkham @TaraBull Total setup for her video cred. His face was saying the opposite the whole time.

@TaraBull If he’s got a problem with this, then he shouldn’t have started dating a PAWG. Besides, I’ve seen women in baggy sweatpants cheat. If she’s going to cheat, she’s going to do so regardless of what she’s wearing. Some men are really just weak.

He doesn't want his girlfriend wearing her new jeans out in public, would you?

@Hitchslap1 Meh. I took the real test, this prediction is quite low compared to my actual score..

You can literally test someone’s IQ in 90 seconds by asking them to pronounce 50 words. The more they get correct, the higher their IQ.

@cyber_ideology @esrtweet @Hitchslap1 Certainly, given 'gaoled' is a word I only ever see in texts originating from the uk

Kay-pon Ass-ig-n8 Drakma? (surely a misspelling?), oh dram, I see I went with a combo of puerile and feral, just a wild guess For me is idyll the id in id or eye-d ? Probably the former. Wondering is there any en_IE/en_UK/en_US variation Wasn't very fair getting my Polish gf to read these out.

@esrtweet @amyoder I thought the vocab one was disavowed in the 80s, after I took it... Something to do with educational opportunity

@amyoder That's not so, actually. One of the two simplest IQ tests you can give a person in any language is vocabulary in their primary language. It works whatever the size of the language's vocabulary actually is. The other one is testing the ability to do 3D spatial rotations.

English is probably the only language where you can measure someone’s IQ by how well they know how to speak it. English has ~600,000 words. Do other languages have more words? Yes. But English is far better at describing things because it focuses much more on adjectives and adverbs rather than just nouns. Arabic has 100+ words for “Camel”. English has one. But English has 10,000 words that can be used to describe the camel’s appearance, temperament, character, physicality, etc. You get a much clearer picture of what this specific camel looks, sounds, and smells like. It’s much easier to appreciate a story like Romeo and Juliet when you view it as an evangelization arm of the English language (and culture), rather than just a homework assignment. This is likely the reason why the British were so dominant. They were significantly better at organizing and motivating their people *because of* their excellence of communication. English >

@nuttylmao go with '!!1!!one!!'

I have spent 1 hour deciding whether I should put an exclamation mark at the end of a YouTube title. I want enthusiasm, but not *that* much enthusiasm...

@MadScientist_42 @SpaceKoala No computer in the tail light assembly that takes out the whole truck just because one of the dozen leds goes out. Looking at you @Ford

@SpaceKoala Shrug. They've had computers in them for AGES. What they don't want, is customized IVIs and subscription models on things like Seat Warmers, etc.

People say this because they don't realize Toyota hasn't sold a car in the US without a computer in it since 1988.

@gunfuzled @loyalmoses The colors themselves could be rolled into stock offerings, custom spools are expensive and don't make sense long term.

@loyalmoses Are they just ending the program? I'll admit, I've only ever bought the FDE but I'm hoping the maker rolls stick around

Go get my LM Creator Spool before it’s gone… forever! Collect it! NEVER print with it! loyal.ms/LMSparkleGreen

@AlysssaHazel I saw the movie

Just finished Eaters of the Dead by Michael Crichton! To quickly describe the novel: Take the Story of Beowulf and re-tell it with Muslim Bilbo (complete with being a short "lucky number 13") getting surprise adopted by a group of vikings who are on their way to slay monsters. What results is the most "Dad-coded" book I've read in a while: Battle-bonding, raunchy jokes, boozing, "Women, am I right fellas?", random history lore-drops, and pranking the new guy. I mean this all in a good way since it's a solid and good time. I don't think it's Crichton's best work (Jurassic Park is hard to beat), and is a little slow to get started, but once it gets going I can tell he's having fun and he wants the reader to have fun as well. It's also a good example of a "delayed coming of age" story where someone older is pulled into the Hero's Journey. Usually kicking and screaming. I give it 4.5 "These Heathens Need to Take a Bath" out of 5.

@LuckyMcGee I lie, I also went to the Bill Graham Memorial in '91...

@LuckyMcGee 1) Paul Revere & the Raiders 2) Artis the Spoonman 3-10 you've never heard of

Introduce yourself with 10 bands you’ve seen live: 1. George Strait/ Chris Stapleton 2. Charlie Daniel’s Band 3. Alison Kraus & Union Station 4. Diamond Rio 5. Travis Tritt 6. Tim McGraw 7. Trampled By Turtles 8. Devil Makes Three 9. Dropkick Murphys 10. Reverend Horton Heat

@BradRTorgersen I "use the apps" as a fun aside to keep me busy while pooping. Basically, recreating hotornot.

Boomer opinion: men and women under 50 need to abandon dating apps. Your chances of finding someone worth your time aren't improved by treating the project like you're shopping on Amazon. Someone who is worth your time is out there in the real world. Doing real things. Quit desperately relying on software. Be someone who gets out of the house, goes places, and does stuff. Yes, this is exactly how I met my wife 34 years ago, and I've seen nothing this century so far to convince me the way we did it in Ye Olden Times is somehow wrong, or doesn't work. The most important part of this is (of course) to *be* someone other people will want. Not on a profile. Not through the imaginary world of an app. But in the real world. Have real skills. Have a real personality. Clean your ass up. Dress for the occasion(s). Lose some weight. Be fit. A nation of perma-homebodies who don't know how to talk to each other and who don't know how to look nor sound good in everyday social settings is spiraling into despair on their phones. It doesn't have to be this way.

@thereal_SnS Ditto.

I am not a Republican. I am not a Democrat. I am not even a Libertarian. I am simply an American that is fed up with the corruption, manipulation of politicians, and the people that blindly follow said politicians on “their side”.

@RocketPulpHack @BobbyBorkIII My smurtfone software only marginally sucks, but is infinitely more customizable.

@BobbyBorkIII I hate the newer ones where it’s just a tablet screen sticking out of the dash. Careful complaining about this, though. Some random Tesla owners will show up and be all “oh, you say you don’t like this technology, but you have a smart phone? Curious!”

I know the battle is lost at this point, but if car companies are going to put computer screens on every vehicle, can they at least give them software that doesn’t totally suck?

Proud to introduce new legislation that will eliminate the remaining NFA taxes on machine guns and destructive devices. Taxing our constitutional rights is unacceptable and unconstitutional, it’s past time we put an end to it!

@ZeekArkham @cartierfamilyZ Boop is based on a black performer, so this isn't a stretch.

@cartierfamilyZ All good. Make an Avengers type movie of the gods of Egyptian mythology and cast it with a bunch of white folks. Jason Statham as Anubis and Chris Hemsworth as Ra. Everyone should be completely fine with it because them’s the rules now, right?

🤦‍♂️
