There was a “don’t use Amazon for a week” boycott thing at the beginning of March. It shocked me how quickly I lost the urge to just go order stuff the moment I thought of it. After the week was over I just kept not ordering stuff (with the exception of a subscription that came through).
Definitely at least helped me cut back.
I’ve been impressed by how quickly gen-AI 3D models have become somewhat useful. I expected that with the significantly lower training data than text and images it would take longer, but maybe 3D files have a lot more tagging and metadata by virtue of being “new” compared to text and images, making them more useful for training AI?
As much as I enjoy modeling, I must admit I’m somewhat excited about a future where I can think up something to 3D print and not have to spend hours in Blender.
Yeah what does “substantially” mean in this context?
The context is laid out clearly. You earn one additional dollar and that one additional dollar puts you in the 33% tax bracket.
Your tax bill would go up by 33% of one dollar. $0.33. Total.
The question doesn’t specify whether we’re talking about total dollars paid or just how much the tax percentage increases in that bracket.
It’s irrelevant. Your “total dollars paid” in taxes would increase by $0.33, and the difference that extra dollar is taxed vs the previous dollar is $0.05. Neither of these are “substantial.”
This question simply asks whether 0: you have reading comprehension skills and 1: you understand how tax brackets work.
What?
The question isn’t loaded at all, it just tests whether people know how tax brackets work.
LIDAR certainly has enough distance (airplanes use it too)
As I understand it, this is uncommon and mostly used for topological mapping.
Most commercial aircraft use a radar, augmented with a GPS-based terrain map, for their ground proximity warning (EGPWS, “Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System”).
I could be wrong though, I’m not a pilot.
The Bambu Lab printers resemble Bowden tube printers because they use lots of PTFE tubing to make the AMS work smoothly. But they’re all direct drive, with the complication of the AMS feeding system making it a sort of hybrid.
It’s a genius design (albeit wasteful due to the purging process), I just wish they’d open it up and let other companies use the concept.
You just need to feed it directly to the extruder and not through AMS.
Though Bambu Lab’s “TPU for AMS” works great (as long as it’s dry).
Fear ABS and ASA like your worst nightmare
ABS and ASA are awesome, but if you don’t have an enclosure the warping and odor can make them a pain to work with (the odor is powerful, irritating, and potentially dangerous).
But the end result is strong and can be smoothed with acetone fumes. I consider ABS and ASA my “okay, this one is serious” filaments. Parts that need to be able to withstand stronger forces and higher heat, or stuff that I want to look really good with some very easy post-processing.
Designed and printed a magnetic prime line brush, to have a use for the lines my P1S begins each print with, that can attach to the frame and live inside the print enclosure. This one uses the extra scraper magnet that came with the printer, but I designed a version of it to use 6x2mm magnets as well, and versions of each with and without the Bambu logo (I know they’re not exactly the community’s favorite these days, and I understand why).
However if all the world retaliates together to this bully then he will know what will happen next time he starts doing stupid shit. classic school yard bully situation in some sense.
You’re assuming Trump is capable of learning the types of lessons that schoolyard bullies learn.
I mean, I’d rather have a milquetoast center-right Democrat than a fascist, given the de facto two-party system.
But maybe that’s just me.

Nah man. There are uses for touchscreens in cars. Just don’t put everything there, and especially don’t put anything you’d need to use while actively driving in there.
But being able to have dynamic user interfaces is very useful for plenty of non-directly-driving-related features.
The ideal Surge alarm clock would be an IV that at the right time injects caffeine and sugar directly into your veins.
Personally I think “idiot tax” works better.
“Stupid” and “dumb” being adjectives that could also be describing the tax itself, rather than the person paying it, is ambiguous. But “idiot tax” clearly says, to me anyway, “a tax on idiots.”
SUPPLIES!

Purdue Pharma. It’s important, because Purdue Pharma and Purdue University are not connected in any way, and when people from the Midwest hear “Purdue” we usually think of the university.
