You’re lucky to have that. My radar has ads.

They are doing it. There is a ton of decoy and anti-decoy research

I would think the perimeter would have a lot of leverage on the center. I have a Snapmaker on the way but haven’t printed with different materials yet. There’s like 50 trees around the perimeter. Is it possible to make, say, 2 or 4 of the trees in PETG? Maybe that would be enough to keep it anchored.

I think the grey edge looks better than 100% white. Things like this are the reason I have AMS, all my prints are functional and could be done in one color, they just look better when they’re not. And if it’s for screws and hardware, they’re going to be down in the white where they’ll contrast, not hiding up on the edge.

I don’t get how anybody can be into enormous children

Slackware. In 27-ish years of using it, it’s never once crashed or failed to install

"I’ll weigh in a little bit here, I guess. At this point, I’d rather not implement something like this and don’t see the point of the legislation as written (other than, more than likely, get a foot in the door.) But my code is my speech. I doubt these laws would survive a challenge, as it’s pretty clearly government compelled speech.

Any lawyers looking for a test case? :-)"

I can’t find anything concrete from Fedora but the Fedora leader was thinking of ways to comply in some manner a month ago and had more ideas recently

He even shot him before pulling over. Being handi-capable isn’t enough for him, he’s multitasking handi-capable

“The woman’s husband was able to track the car’s location using an app that monitored the vehicle’s key fob.”

Get a $250 printer and start using it. It may be all you’ll ever need, but after a year or so it’s likely you’ll start seeing other printers with different functions that you think would be useful and will decide to upgrade. Hopefully you’ll know what you want by then.

The article says more clearly “2.7 billion records with Social Security numbers.” The author goes on to say he found 4 records with a friend’s data but in those 4 records were 3 different SSNs. He called the friend and confirmed that one of them was his actual SSN. I guess someone was auto-linking names and SSNs for ID theft purposes and getting it wrong sometimes.

Same. I started to like him when he appeared on David Letterman a lot. He seemed genuine and funny. I learned more about him some years ago when he dropped out of public life. People were worried and thought he was being held hostage or died. It was very weird.

Turns out he was doing great and died in 2024, possibly while dressed as Barbara Striesand*. We should all be so lucky.

*(Wikipedia says he did a social media post with a photo dressed as Barbara Striesand and was found dead minutes later.)

Christians should show they’re not the antichrist by getting “Nero,” which is Greek for “not the beast” tattooed on their forehead

What if it’s a torx instead? People have to buy torx bits to work on their car.

I don’t see how it could be effective. The brand specific things I mentioned are almost identical and none of them stop people from repairing their car. The BMW design is simpler than the ones I mentioned. A flat screwdriver with a gap cut down the middle would work.

I don’t really know. I purposely picked the things I mentioned because they’re similar to the BMW bolt, but the tools required are cheap and simple for all of them.

Part of my point was that there are other, more complicated and more expensive tools that are brand specific too. I think a lot of it is really just the nature of the beast. Brands do thiings differently, so a special shaped tool to get into the nook and cranny of a certain car won’t work on a different brand that has different nooks and crannys. And you can substitute “brand” with “engine,” “model,” or even “year.”
