It usually works out pretty well with native speakers not familiar with the term. They usually have a moment with a blank stare thinking "what the hell is an acoustic bike?" and then realize all at once with a smirk.

As for your second question, acoustic becomes a good classification when talking to a group where electric bikes are the default, just like electric becomes a good classification where pure pedal bikes are the default. In a group where ebikes are the default they might assume you're talking about throttle type if you say analog, or a pedal assist bike if you said manual. It started as a joke and became a useful term.

I'm agreeing with you, that last part is a projection of people who think that way

It seems like they drink their own Kool aid on the both sides isms that they get worked up and think it's a race. I only want a dictator because they do too, and I've got to get my guy in first.

This is such a strange take. Just because people think that the current system doesn't work doesn't mean they automatically jump to wanting despotism even if enlightened. People who throw up their hands at political gridlock and see it as a justification for dictatorship, and not as reasons to iterate and improve upon the existing system are weirdos.

Nah, Jack Smith had been trying to get procedural hearings about handling classified documents from the jump and Canon had dismissed them like four times.

I think people make games for a video on how these things work. Some of the files used in previous tournaments are available to play around with.

Nitrorad covers games old and new in this genre, but the shooter hybrid 3d platformer is short of a niche inside a niche. I think 3d platformer are having a bit of a resurgence at the moment, but I don't think it's trickled down to that subgenre. I will shout out pseudoregalia I almost didn't give it a chance with the furry bait protagonist but the platforming is so satisfying. I hope the dev makes some sort of sequel

Blender is a swiss army knife, not really comparable, but i'd recommend it over most CAD software if your main focus is 3d printing as most slicer convert to mesh data anyway.

I've got some crappy drawers that are falling apart this might be just right to fix them

This is the only thing that stopped my scars itching after surgery. Cut open a vitamin e pill and rub it into the area. You can put something over it to keep it on there.

I don't feel like I've seen armature (SCARA?) Based 3d printers in this scale before. I imagine it might be due to it losing reach as it goes on comparison to a gantry? At least without some sort of rising mechanism.

I like these models more than the legion ones I think. Great painting!
