I agree that we should know how to tinker or slightly modify files as well but I'd say pulling out a separate software with a huge learning curve is a step that's hard to get people to swallow.

I think I really wanted to put emphasis on have to learn it, cause for things that feel simple to suddenly find it will take 30 hours of study and then several additional hours of fixing suddenly feels like a jump up in ask for making sure you can actually print a part successfully that's been posted in a 3D printer file site.

I had experience with simple tools but they don't seem to exist much anymore and the tools in the slicer software seem to exist to say they do which brings me back to the question of if I was missing something or had to learn a separate software.

But some of us aren't professional software engineers. And modifying something turns into a bigger project.

TinkerCAD seems to be a popular answer and I hope simple enough cause I'd love to see stuff I helped design reality but not making money on it too means time needs to be spent keeping myself alive first and thus extended hobby space much further down.

I am down to learn. It's why I asked but I will say there is a dozen softwares and forks out there and I am not in the right space to be able to spend large amounts of time learning the deep ins and outs. And I generally don't feel a constant need to design new pieces for myself.

But thank you for the suggestions and the video suggestions as well.

Yeah... Just STL files.

And I mean trying to add anything in orca slicer seems to be far worse. I got lucky with modifying a single piece in orca slicer via a million measurements and micro adjustments but it felt like pulling teeth from a shark.

People can write in a name. That's a protest vote, and one that should be fine in a mandatory voting system as seen in literally all the places it is.

A good candidate would be a great idea to help deal with apathy from a difficult to vote in system but making it easier would also be a huge step up.

Both things are needed and I wish could be done in any order. But not voting at all is definitely the goal of one side more than the other.

volcel

Is that supposed to be vocal?

And spreading the story of it is a good starting point for getting it outside of smaller niches. Cause this has been a tool for thousands of years that has pretty ok success rate.

Lofi is not "bumpin'"

It is quite literally the opposite of that. It's like dying to smooth jazz. I'd rather it be on a much faster tempo I die to.

Yeah doubtful. I think it finds something you will engage in and push on it over and over again until people get normalized to it.

I think it's more like cold reading from a psychic. It's gonna use generic generalized data about the big identifiers for you like age and gender and as you respond try to change its answer to what it needs to based on what you gave it.

That's not new or magical in any way. And it can be really wrong about the broad stuff if you don't fit in with generic identifying groups related to you.

It really just feels like a sales pitch for the middle class to buy more stuff.

Oh man, every Palestinian had an ID number? Man those could have just been tattooed on every person to make sure Israel could keep track of them better.

No idea why Israel didn't think of that. Seems obvious to use in your fenced in area that everyone has to be carefully released from for either work or because they died.

That came after the us government pushed the swedish government

The Internet as a whole seems a lot less interested in actually listening to anyone with credentials to back themselves up (Musk obviously included).
Literally, people will just "nuh-uh" a piece of fact for purely emotional personal reasons.

Maybe it's that we made the Internet so full of disinformation that everyone is just automatically refusing to listen to others, maybe we have created a social group that just assumes they are more educated than everyone else cause they read some stuff in the internet.

Maybe all the smarter people with credentials have done the smart thing and left the internet, cause if I hear one more person tell me I'm wrong and that people totally explode in the vacuum of space cause they watched a movie. (Someone even called me confidently incorrect after I provided the research paper I cited when working on decompression in a vacuum), I honestly will think humanity has no right to claim themselves master of any part of nature and I will praise the universe for wiping us out hopefully Armageddon style, with an asteroid with a bunch of oil drillers on it.

Hmm... There was a comic about women and serial killers that got me started thinking about this but...

Do you think both genders are being sold on extremes of the other that might be skewing our ability to interact rationally?

Like women being sold extremes of men abusiveness and cults and rapists and men on stingy or "slutty" women. And now both genders are spending less time with each other and more with internalized extreme versions of each other?

It's like maybe a symptom of a lack of social spaces or maybe just leads to less of them as people only feel comfortable in closed groups. I'm thinking we are all being taken for a ride.
Or people are way worse than I can consider.

It's the oldest profession for a reason. Everyone is selling their body just one gender can do it more directly more easily and with the Internet doesn't even have to do it with people interacting with their physical body anymore.

When times are rough, some fucker will still be horny.
