Kathy, I'm lost! I said, though I knew she was sleeping... I'm empty and aching and I don't know why!

What do you think is the biggest reason humanity still can’t live peacefully together?

@baudjump @mistressdivy The thing is, with those store bought apples, they’re not necessarily true to seed.
You can sprout them, but the chances of getting the same quality fruit is very slim.
English
@mistressdivy I've grown 3 apple trees and 2 peach trees in the last 5 years.. pretty sure it's not accurate. The modification on the seeds is more like a coded message identifying who "owns" that strain.

Something broke inside of me when I learned grocery store vegetables in the US are sprayed with sprout inhibitors to prevent people from planting them.
English
@BluWolfWhtRbbt @mistressdivy Garlic in particular is sprayed with sprout inhibitors, but they don’t last very long. And you can just rinse them off if you really want to sprout that store garlic.
English
@mistressdivy Have you tried planting any of them though?
Because I can tell you first hand that you actually can.
I’ve grown green peppers, jalapeños, and tomatoes directly from the seeds in the fruit.
I’ve propagated green onion, and basil.
I’ve grown potato, sweet potato, and garlic too
English
@CharlesLWolff3 @mistressdivy @TBR24_7 This is mostly for thing s that would spoil quickly. Vegetables tend to decay once the seeds inside sprout or the tuber throw eyes. inhibiting sprouting isn’t because they hate you, it’s just to enhance shelf life.
English
@mistressdivy @TBR24_7 Doesn’t work very well. I plant stuff from the store. Good success w potatoes, tomato’s and peppers.

@Blyathaj @MommyOneeChan Lies. That’s just what the cappies want you to believe,to save face. ;-)

There are only 4 eras in Battletech. Its such a shame the setting ended after the clams were defeated
31stCenturyCombat@faithandheresy
Here's a reminder you to you low-effort 40K dweebs. There's TWELVE playable eras in Battletech. This is what a "lore centric" game actually looks like.

@MagicAlucard @MissPookems Good Lord. I lost years of my life to that game the first time. Quit for a reason.
And then ROTW was released and here we are again.

@MissPookems Diablo 2 will always be my number 1. I liked oddworld and crash bandicoot the old school versions.

Anyone who used a computer between 1985 & 2015... what's the one game you still think about? 🤔

@MissPookems Gotta be Ultima V. My actions have PERMANENT CONSEQUENCES? This was a relatively new concept for childhood me.

This couple just unboxed their very first Alaskan King bed and it is next-level massive! Many people have never even heard of this size before. Most know California Kings, but an Alaskan King takes things to a whole new level.
For reference, a standard king mattress measures 76 inches wide by 80 inches long. An Alaskan King, however, measures a full 108 inches by 108 inches — that’s 9 feet by 9 feet!
This leaves the question… is the Alaskan King becoming a new trend, or have these giant beds been around longer? And why would anyone need something this big — extra room for kids and pets to pile in, or simply because bigger really is better?
Would you consider getting a bed this large? It’s hard to imagine having to make this bed up every day or on laundry day 😭

@2LightBlueEyes @luxemiaa Oh man. I love that stuff but strictly for hair only! And Lord help you if it gets in the eyes.

One time I was at work and realized I didn’t have a pad.
I asked my coworker if she had one.
She handed me one, I thanked her, and went to the bathroom.
A few seconds after putting it on, I felt something I had never experienced in my life.
It felt like my vagina was taking deep breaths.
There was a sudden cool, tingling sensation that had me standing in the stall questioning every life choice that led me to that moment.
I marched back to my desk and asked my coworker, “What is wrong with your pads? Why does it feel like my vagina is breathing?”
She looked horrified.
Then she remembered that a.........

@HybridRobotix @repkord @lulzbot3D Nobody wants that market. They demand the world in features at penny pricing, but are neither brand loyal nor repeat buyers.
At sub $1000, you can't sell service, and your consumers will.comolain about every compromise you had to make to meet that price.
English
@repkord I know there are 3D Printer makers here in the USA somewhere. Maybe @lulzbot3D wants to chime in here... What other 3D Printer makers are here in the USA that might want to help build reasonably priced (under $1000.00 or so) 3D Printers?

If you haven't seen this thread yet there's a ton of interesting commentary in it on pricing and competition in the consumer 3DP space as well as greater global manufacturing considerations as a whole.
My honest question now is this: rather than thinking we need to boycott China for artificially tipping the scales in their favor, why isn't the west focused on giving more of the same incentives to more of its manufacturers if reindustrializing is truly a focus? What would the long term implications be of all governments getting this aggressive with incentives? Ill admit Im no economist but if everyone was doing it wouldn't that eventually lead to closer price equality? Not to mention stimulate jobs/GDP etc?

Hi Corey, you mentioned getting DMs from every direction on this. So this reply is partly to you, partly to that broader conversation and comments on both of your posts, because some of what's flying around needs context. It unfortunately isn't that easy. Price is primarily set by the bill of materials. I can't make parts cheaper just by wanting it harder. And there's nothing extra on CORE One, every part has a job. Strip any part and you get a different printer. What most people would not expect and many actually think it is a solution: manufacturing in China doesn't fix this either. Take an entry-level Chinese printer apart, quote the same parts in China at 100k+ volume, the parts alone cost more than the printer sells for in the West. Where is the sense in retail below parts cost? Do this long enough and price perception is permanently skewed. Some of what props it up: 0% interest loans, multi-year tax holidays, free land, free factories, 200% R&D tax deductions. And at the wild end, the state pays consumers back ~15% of the printer's price as a rebate. They are literally running out of ways to push more money into the propped industries. None of that is available to any Western company manufacturing in the West, or even trying to manufacture in China. And this isn't just a 3D printing problem. Same playbook took solar, drones, batteries, EVs. Now it's working on robotics. 3D printing would be done if we wouldn't be soo stubborn💪 About the “competitiveness“ I keep seeing in the replies. God I hate that word. Part of every conversation about every industry, especially in the EU. It’s shifting the problem to western industry side. Real problem is China breaking the WTO rules the next day after joining. So an $899 CORE One isn't a price decision. And unfortunately the "what if" framing, however hopeful, reinforces exactly the view that's hurting us in too many people's eyes. Complex and heavy topic, but tried to add some context.

@ardan_blade ...the most local of the bunch. Aside from Spc. Kirk, all of them are Holbrook natives, who know the craters in great detail. When not training, they can often be found maintaining the reservoir pits at the purification plant, or the crater retaining walls with HANDSY mechs.
