You know, you only need to be around 5% smarter than the tool you are using to be successful with it. Humanity is right fuckered isn't it?

I'm thinking 3/4oz #8 birdshot is the zeroday attack.

But it does work in an electrically challenged environment when the latency of the internet is infinite. But it can be hacked by 3/4oz #8 birdshot.

Like most prepper things for sale, this is a better product to skin money from the ignorant and the unreasonably fearful than it is truly useful. It assumes you have electricity and the functioning equipment to access it.

In a real prepper situation, you either already ready have the knowledge in your head, (the best method), or you have real books and pamphlets to read, (slow to access).

Remember Kiddies, if a real SHTF gets here, there not only won't be no google or youtube, but there won't be much time to use it anyway. Survival is a real time sink. And most living in the big cities will simply die in place anyway.

I've enjoyed her talents, no matter how small the part or scene, in several TV show prior to the Orville. Such a range.

It's supposed to be in the US also.

There is a lot of potential here. I have little doubt the printer and slicer algorithm will make it's way to mainstream printing at some point.

First you live in rural Mississippi, now you live less than 75 miles from the Canadian border? Should I call you an asshole ignorant troll?

Half the programs I needed to use in Windows 3.1, and 3.11 required a DOS prompt to run. It wasn't until NT that almost all software caught up enough to not need that DOS prompt so much. Although AutoCAD R9 ran like crap in NT on the 386 with math co-processor. So I needed to reboot into DOS every time I needed CAD.

With the apparent rise of immutable spins, it might get to be even less since user space is separate the OS space. I'm trying Aurora on my laptop to see if there is any advantage to running an immutable spin over the standard distros. I'm kind of torn about it right now, there are some advantages to both and some downsides to both.

Having used LibreOffice and OnlyOffice, I find that if you need a full office suite, (and fortunately I don't anymore), LibreOffice has more 'stuff' in it and perhaps a bit better comparability with Microsoft 365 than OnlyOffice. Still, I had no real beef with OnlyOffice. It's a somewhat lighter on space the LibreOffice for sure.

Thankfully, all I really need anymore is AbbiWord and Gnumeric for my now simple and infrequent needs. Soooo much faster and lighter than a full office suite.

The numbers are still non-zero across the northern US. Needing a passport to shop at Walmart should be at least a hint that I'm over 1000 miles away from you. And I should probably be happy that I'm not as representative as you I suppose. In any case, enjoy your "rural" life.

Me, I'mma waiting for iceout on the lake and for the frost danger to go away, (about another 4 weeks), so I can get my garden in again.

 

I need to print some improved tubing connectors, 3 different types - 80 Pcs total, for a pair of crappy shelving units my Wife bought off of Walmart. The originals were as minimal material as possible without missing the nylon tree completely.

The Klipperized Mk3s with a .60mm nozzle is nearly as fast as the mini with a .40mm nozzle. Once again proving it's not how fast you say you can go, but how fast the parts let you go..........

 

After 5 years my trusty old textured plate is wearing out and I'm in the market for something new. I print PLA, PETG, ABS, and TPU. There are so many choices now and I need some guidance!
