I actually liked Xenocide, it was an interesting juxtaposition of his writing arguing one ideal and his own xenophobic personally held ideals.

True, though they are more common than you think, there’s still thousands of flights daily across the U.S. and where I live its the only mode of transportation in/out of a lot of communities. On thing that’s common though is a mod to allow the planes to run on car gas, 85 or better octane. That helps us and them (much cheaper) and a lot of modern small aircraft are moving to diesel piston engines like the Thielert engines.
And its still not entirely banned in the US, AVGAS for small planes is a “low” lead fuel that still contains a decent amount of lead.

172·1 year agoImplying the presence of a dildo as a structural member(ha) doesn’t negate or speak hatefully about the use of sex toys or people who use them, but it does imply he was being submissive to someone else(GOP). This has nothing to do with LGBTQ+ support. Sex toys don’t belong to just them.
The skin is comprised of a laminated structure, an outer chemically milled skin(to reduce weight) and a “waffle” structure known tear straps. Yes there’s rivets, but the structural strength is in that lamination between the waffle doubler.
Wait till you learn that Boeing has used laminated (glued) skins on every 737 since the 80s. Glue can be fine.

3·1 year agoYou used to need GlovePie to set it all up, but I think Dolphin has a driver built in now. You pair the controllers to a PC the same as the console but it was more finicky last time I tried than the pair to console process
I was mostly thinking of the handgun builds I’ve seen with hand made slide rails but the rest is just a Glock(or whatever else base gun) parts kit for everything else.
Most 3d printed guns are constructed very similarly to “real” commercially available (in burgerland) guns that use a polymer construction. The plastic is taking very little of the force, they use metal inserts and rails that the mechanical parts connect to. This distributes the load a lot. I haven’t printed any yet, mostly because you basically need to buy a whole gun to build one, but they aren’t magic or anything and you could do the same thing with woodworking tools by hand if you had a lot of patience.
I usually keep 1 or 2 PLAs in there, one tough material like ASA and one silly fun one. Let’s me just select the right mats for the job and hit print and I rarely have to change out a spool unless I’m doing something colorful. It’s awesome
If you want to print with high temp materials the enclosure is a must, so it’s a huge change there, if all you do is PLA, PETG then it’s not as critical. But I still think the Bambu P1S bundle is the better deal, similar sized printer, similar motion system and ease of use, and you get the 4 spool AMS which is a game changer even if you don’t print multicolor. I want to love the prusa stuff but it’s just too expensive





I’ve heard the entire DOT is switching from the M365 apps to GSuite, thats gotta hurt.
