@Nicolas_Sassoon I have a uunitek idraw (cheaper than axidraw) and I've really liked it. Functional, easy, and you're not spending all your time on calibration. That said if money is no object just get an axi/nextdraw.

Hi friends, I’m considering buying a small/medium sized plotter in 2025, what are the best models for beginners? Would also love to chat with anyone who can recommend a small user-friendly laser engraver.

@maxflowminclout If you want to derive the algorithms yourself, read Richard Hofstadter's March 1981 Scientific America column Magic Cubology. (Also available now in the book Metamagical Themas.) It gives the group theory concepts and some notation without giving a full solution.

Is there a book/tutorial that is like "How to do a Rubik's cube without cheating?" Like, it would give you a set of reasonable primitives that you would use to solve the whole thing. (I have never done a Rubik's cube because following a tutorial would be cheating)

@ramakrishnan13s Thanks so much for this! Is the cliff after 6AM today reflective of a change on the ground, or just a data artifact?

@HackBeanpot AH! Wrong url, it's frankenpokemon.me I repeat ".me"

@Kirocuto @HackBeanpot Alternatively, just use 104.236.192.25 The domain may not be propagated to all ISPs.

@Kirocuto can you run "dig frankenpokemon.com" for me? Or just come find me I suppose.

@HackBeanpot Feel like there weren't enough of the first 150 pokemon? Get more with frankenpokemon.me !
