@ReillyLake @Pirat_Nation Everyone I've known that has gotten a bambu has hated it and very quickly switched back to prusa. Bambu is the modern makerbot
English
Josef Prusa of Prusa Research has raised serious concerns about Bambu Lab’s Bambu Studio slicer software.
The program, a fork of the open-source PrusaSlicer, incorporates a closed-source networking plugin that Prusa describes as an unauditable “black box” downloaded from a CDN and capable of remote replacement.
Prusa says this is dangerous because Chinese laws require companies to help their intelligence agencies and share encryption keys, and slicers handle sensitive 3D design files used in research labs, universities, and defense work.
He also claims that Bambu Lab is breaking the open-source license rules by adding this closed part.

@bourbonia @Mollyploofkins It's not nearly as important as weight vs tire size. I have a Ranger with big tires and float through soft sand without airing down at all. Watch SandTow on YouTube. Almost every vehicle that gets stuck is a big heavy truck. It's the weight, it pushes you down into the sand.
English
@knbpixels @Mollyploofkins Tire pressure is crucial. If Cyber truck tires are too narrow, that’s a tragic flaw. Also, low profile tires suck for sand riding. My LandCruiser with big, wide tires HAD TO BE AIRED DOWN, or it wasn’t going anywhere in the sand.

A mom in a Toyota Sienna pulls a Cybertruck out after it gets stuck in sand
English
@bourbonia @Mollyploofkins It’s not a tire pressure issue, that only helps a little in sand. Heavy vehicle with normal width tires will sink when a light vehicle with wide tires will float over the sand. It’s about weight vs tire size
English
@Mollyploofkins Can’t ride over sand with low profile tires. These tires can’t be aired down to prevent the tires from digging into the sand, and therefore cannot provide the floatation to stay high on the sand.
Many years ago, I pulled a Ferrari F40 off a beach. It bottomed out in no time. 🤣
English
@messycables1 @theInsaneSwami @YourAnonNews Tire pressure is only one factor, and not even that big a factor. It’s weight vs contact patch and tire diameter. Lighter vehicles sink less in sand. The best combo is light weight and big tires. Sand acts very much like a fluid.
English
@theInsaneSwami @YourAnonNews agree CT is an off-road turd but a lot going on there. ppl pushing, CT reversing, car pulling. mom won’t snatch bogged CT, would rip bumper off. can see pull only doing light work. but, anyone can get bogged in sand with anything (it’s all tyre pressure)

@Valitskim @GrandOleParr @data_atx People definitely lined up at locations for the MoonSwatch, but this location in Austin is on private property
English
@knbpixels @GrandOleParr @data_atx I was in PA at the time and I believe the same thing happened at the KoP location but I could be thinking of something else
English
@SN_Weekly_ @GrandOleParr Yes Swatch has had a resurgence from collaborating with Omega a few years ago, and now AP
English
@GrandOleParr 1) Swatch is still a thing? Really?
2) Why was it a problem that people were waiting in line?
English
@GrandOleParr The Swatch x AP collab is hideous. I refuse to believe these people are anything but flippers trying to buy up all the stock to resell. Fuggem all, glad they were evicted
English
@Valitskim @GrandOleParr @data_atx There was no Austin Swatch store when the Moonseatch was released
English
@GrandOleParr @data_atx What was wrong? People did the same for moon swatch?

Brontosaurus Pattern. Likely followed by the Crashing Asteroid pattern

What do you call this chart pattern?

If you get laid off and immediately don’t get contract work to freelance with while you job search you’re doing it wrong.
Uzi@UziCryptoo
One of my friend’s brother’s recently got laid off. He was making $350k annually working in tech. He had a Nice house, $8,000/month mortgage, nice cars, vacations every few months. Got laid off 6 months ago. Still jobless. He apparently took out $100,000 HELOC to cover bills, he’s burning through $10,000/month with no relief near in sight. This is someone I saw winning in life. Now there down BAD. This is an important lesson to save at least 6 month emergency fund to cover bills. Also an important lesson on lifestyle inflation. Only because you make more money doesn’t mean you should always spend more too.

@Clt_TrafficGuy @neenareports What do you do with all the ultra saline brine that gets produced? Dump it in the bay? It would kill the local ecosystem
English
@neenareports There should be a way to desalinize water from that bay they're located near.

NEW: Absent a biblical rainfall event this summer, Corpus Christi will be the first American city in modern history to run out of water. 💦
Schools & hospitals hope to drill wells. Lawns are dry. How will petrochemical plants handle it? We don’t know.

Dear John,
1. Bring back a truly modular Mac Pro
2. Divorce OSX from iOS design concepts
3. Stop making unnecessary changes to hardware and software designs that work
4. Stop making all hardware wireless, give us options

@meh_130 @SawyerMerritt Perhaps you've never seen and F1 steering wheel. They are littered with knobs. Seems to work for those drivers and they have much less wheel to grab and space to move.
English
@SawyerMerritt The twist knobs and toggles on the steering wheel are an awful design. Twist knobs need to be at arms distance. The driving modes on the steering wheel is extremely bad design.

Ferrari has released a new video of the interior for its first ever all-electric car, called the Ferrari Luce.
It was designed with Apple's former head of design, Jony Ive, who recently said "a large touchscreen doesn't work in a car."
Car info:
• Four-door four-seater
• 122 kWh battery
• 330 miles of range (European rating methods)
• 1,000 horsepower
• 0-60mph: Under 2.5s
• Four electric motors
• OLED screens
• Guess cluster screen is made up of several layers. By cutting out holes in the upper layers, Ferrari created displays where the speedometer graphic is below the level of a physical needle, which is itself behind additional drive info and beneath a curved inset lens.
• Will have fake gear shifts
• Weight: 5,100 lbs

@corbinator @HustleBitch_ The hill country towns are typically where the morning humidity is higher, but afternoon humidity is around 35%, and there's usually a nice breeze. Bandera, Junction, Llano, Dripping Springs are all nice to visit

@knbpixels @HustleBitch_ Hmmm. I’d like to check out this 35-40%. What cities do you recommend for this? My memories of TX are from the summer months in Corpus in the 90’s.

🚨 MINI MANSIONS ARE ONLY $595K IN TEXAS — AND PEOPLE ARE LOSING IT
A realtor just walked through a $595,000 “mini mansion” in San Antonio and people can't believe it.
Here’s what that price gets you:
• 0.75 acres with NO HOA
• 3-car garage + massive driveway space
• 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths + bonus half bath in the garage
• High ceilings + huge windows bringing in natural light
• Open layout with a full kitchen island
• Loft + second living area upstairs
• Extra outdoor slab for parties, BBQs, whatever you want
And the part that’s blowing people’s minds…
This is $595K.
In other states that might get you:
• A small condo
• No yard
• HOA fees on top
Same price.
Completely different lifestyle.
What would $595K get you where you live right now?
