lol! All his meticulous planning and not even half a thought on how to shut the fuck up around cops.

Officer: “Sir I pulled you over because you were driving aggressi-“

Him: “I plan to do crimes!! Lots of them!”

It was the bundle of sticks word, but in Italian. In case anyone else was curious.

I feel like you’re taking this all a bit too seriously. Here’s a suggestion: if you don’t think the contests are fun or worthwhile, don’t submit anything and don’t look at the winners and especially don’t print any of the submitted designs.

At first I was with you.

1. You’re mad that the contest was moderated?
2. Unsafe bath toys? That sounds bad. Your reason? Rubber bands and small parts? Okay well I don’t think that’s a problem if your kid is over the age of 3 or so. If less than 3, no reasonable parent would be leaving them unsupervised in the bath anyway.
3. PLA is great for quick proof of concept and handles exposure to water just fine in lots of cases. User discretion isn’t an unreasonable ask. The 3D printing community is an intelligent group, typically. If you love the print but your PLA version failed after a while, print it using something else?
4. Voters voted on the submissions they liked the most. Get over it.
5. Voters voted on the submissions they liked the most. Get over it.
6. Honestly I stopped reading. Something about a paid part integration that you got mad about because it’s heavily discounted and you can submit photos even if you don’t have one or something?

Anyway. I’ve been finished on the toilet for a while now. Gonna go sit on the porch and drink coffee and listen to the birds and never think about the terrible, terrible injustices with Prusa’s contests again.

p.s. I think the contests are awesome and I love how Prusa engages the community and gets people thinking about new ideas.

I can appreciate both sides of this issue, but as a parent myself, I’m leaning toward mostly agreeing with you. It’s insane how much corporate indoctrination there is. Disney is the worst, but they’re all salivating for the chance to get their hooks into the brains of young kids, because they turn into lifelong customers. It’s the same reason why fast food chains have playgrounds out front. Even if you see an innocent playscape, the marketing is there.

You ‘pute 64 bits, whaddya get?

Just ‘nother load for your instruction set

Satoshi don’t call me cuz I can’t go

I sold my soul to the crypto bros

Yeah, what the hell? I didn’t watch the video but one time use pads are crypto 101 first day of class kinda thing.

I’m out of the loop, why do we hate Rick Berman?

For what it’s worth, I also urge the Supreme Court to keep Trump off the ballot.

All depends on what you collect, how it’s stored, how transparent you are about it, and how easy it is to opt out of. It can definitely be done well.

The bidets, of course. Ultra fast responsive vending machines for commuters on the go.

Imma go ahead and speculate that Rudy Giuliani doesn’t have $148 million dollars. Certainly not in seizable US assets, anyway.

Which is another reason everyone in charge is scared of remote work. The divide is what keeps this ridiculous political shitstorm going. I say this as a techie Texan with a permanent WFH job who used the pandemic as an excuse to move out of the city. The small town I live near now has slowly transformed from a typical R-voting small Texas town to a purpleish LGBT friendlyish badass mixed community. We still voted for that stupid pee-baby Abbott, but change is definitely in the air..
