  • It's a pretty bad-ass design, my dream one day is to get a MUCH larger 3D printer so I can print them larger than 10-inch in diameter. Maybe I'll take the time to make molds which I can use to cast larger ones out of solid concrete.

    Just rained it's ass off yesterday so it's full of fresh water right now haha

  • Love purple pitcher plants. I 3D print bog planters (imagine a pot intended to keep water swampy) and they love it. I actually just propagated the plant to make another pitcher plant in another freshly printed pot - they're so fun.

  • I know someone who made some money on bitcoin (enough to 'retire' in his 30's) - he's proud of his NFT collection and even has a large print of one of those dumb apes which he owns lol.

    I don't hear him talking much about cryptos and such these days. (Instead I hear a lot more about how it's "over" for Ukraine any day now, lol)

  • Everyone has a unique identifier. If you don't share that with anyone, how would they know who's vote it is? Couldn't the number be randomized and a new UUID provided on a routine basis?

    Every American has a Social Security number, but it's not exactly like we're told to broadcast it to the world...... I don't see why something like that couldn't be implemented here using technology.

    My point is the general ledger technology of the blockchain which would be beneficial here.

    But of course this is all a pipe dream. America is damn near a Kleptocracy and both political parties have written laws to prevent a third political party from ever arising.

  • I'd love to see that happen, But it's because America won't switch to a direct democracy. Instead we have a Kleptocracy run by corporations and the 1% who have power over both parties in America. However if it were possible to create a third political party where every member of the party earns only one vote maybe it would give people power back over corporations. But it's a pipe dream, I know it'll never happen.

  • I personally envision a future where we use blockchain technology to create a new direct democracy party in which every member has a unique identifier and the blockchain ledger system used to track polling data. Every individual member of the party would have one vote in each poll at ever level (federal, state, regional, etc) - for every single thing that gets a vote, and the elected politician representing that party would be required to vote based on the polling data.

    Everyone would have access to a copy of the ledger to confirm their votes are counted accurately, and they can review polling data to confirm their elected politicians are voting based on polling data, and the representative would be replaced if they do not adhere to the results

  • I've been so tempted to make and sell custom flags printed with pro-Biden/LGBTQ themes, then have pro-trump messaging printed on top using a water-soluble ink so that these idiots would hang the flags proudly like they always do........only to have the flags change completely the first time it rains hahaha. I'd love to see them frantically trying to pull down a flag in a rainstorm 😂

  • Someone else recently explained it best: It's elderly abuse.

    The entourage encircling these elderly congressional leaders are profiting greatly. As soon as these senators retire, these leeches lose nearly everything.

    It's a Weekend At Bernie's movie plot, but with extra steps.

  • Oh I'm not disagreeing with you that it's a bullshit reason - but I can bet that some penny pincher accountant working at McDonalds proved the company could save $X million (single digit lol) if they did this change. Never forget how a dude working for American Airlines in the 1980's figured out that removing one olive from each salad in first class would save over $40k per year.

    Are there any communities dedicated to HiFi hardware? PC Audio? Headphones? Stereos, etc? I haven't been able to find any.....

    I was never "good" at Linux CLI, ChatGPT has helped tremendously

    I'll be honest, I've always tinkered with ubuntu and even older versions of linux (Anyone remember Mandrake? Yeah I'm old lol), I had even built my own HTPC at one point many many years ago.

    But I always encountered problems that frustrated me forcing me to eventually abandon the OS in favor of something new. For example, installing programs or drivers that weren't in the software manager GUI, checking USB and device connections, etc.

    I was a windows guy and I hate to admit it. It was just "easier" so I usually took the path of least resistance to getting things working efficiently for my productivity needs.

    But ChatGPT has really unlocked things for my novice self.

    Everything from simple questions to fun ones. Like I had an SD card showing as empty, but I thought it had been formatted, so I asked ChatGPT how to recover lost data on the card, and it walked me through every step - I recovered a ton of data off that card.

    I just installed Linux Mint on an older Lenovo laptop and it'
