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.

The brewery I hang out at sells the onewheels - they’re an authorized dealer. The brewer and co-owners all have XR’s which they ride all around town. It sounds great, they use them often…

Except when you talk to them about their injuries… One guy fell and broke his wrist once, another guy broke and cracked a rib, the brewer broke his shoulder one time, then his wrist another time.

Yet they still ride them!!

I got a pint - rode it a few times until I few off once and haven’t ridden it since. I’m looking forward to selling it soon enough.

Biiig difference to me - kinda annoying. I’m sure it’ll grow on me eventually - but the show is loosing its pizazz, I hope they can turn it around.

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

Yeah, I certainly won’t use any product associated with that muskrat.

I mean they used all the iron to make the hull, you think they had any leftover to make a railing around the whole damn ship? gtfoh

That’s what we need to do more often - mock these chuckfucks. Don’t get angry/irritated because that’s what they want, just point and laugh at them.

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.

Friend of mine lives within walking distance of the gas station where he was just spotted. She’s on lockdown, helicopters flying overhead, schools are closed for the day, etc

Dang, that stinks - I actually enjoy the steering mechanics in this game. It’s the only mobile game I have played in many many years because it’s easy to play a race or two and put the game away.

Someone is totally going to turn this into a reprap 3D printer, and I’m absolutely here for it. I can’t wait to toss on a 1mm nozzle and start printing some massive 3D printed bog planters for my savage garden hahaha.

Well cool, I hope it does. I’m not a hardcore gamer, but the Nintendo Switch interested me for the occasional mario kart session. But all the Joycon drama scared me off from buying one. I’ll hold out for a few more years before splurging - I’m in no rush, I rarely game or watch television anyway lol

Yeah, weather patterns are shifting everywhere. The thing to remember is that “climate” is a measurement of weather over time.

Humans can adapt easier than plants to climate change - we can move to different locations while plants are basically stuck unless we humans relocate them. The growing zones where people can grow different fruits/vegetables/herbs is changing. Sometimes too rapidly and even humans can’t keep track of what they can/should grow (and when to plant it). It’s now getting too hot in some regions for even tropical trees/plants to grow using photosynthesis (https://www.sciencenews.org/article/leaves-tropical-forests-photosynthesis-heat-limit) .

So while the local weather may be feeling different and you could possibly start growing different plants in your region, there’s no guarantee that the weather patterns will be the same in five years.

In my own region people are pushing growing zones, growing exotic tropical plants outdoors most of the year then protecting them from harsher weather. Heck I found a guy who is successfully growing a slightly cold-tolerant variety of edible bananas (called blue java) in North Carolina!! No way that would have been possible 100 years ago. Or another example - Cocoa Florida was too cold to grow cocoa beans back when the town was originally founded, but the climate has now warmed up enough that people are starting to grow real cocoa trees in Cocoa! hahaha. (yes, I geek out about weird sh!t like zone-pushing edible plants lol).

As I keep reminding people “At the start of every disaster movie, there’s a scientist being ignored”

He pleaded with the judge, Timothy Kelly, for leniency. “Please show me mercy,” Tarrio said. “I ask you that you not take my 40s from me.”

Ahhh hahaha 🤣

It’s bliss - at night with the windows open it’s dead silent. No cars zooming down the highway, no dogs barking at all hours of the night. No annoying lights from your neighbors shining into your house, and you can actually see the stars at night. All you hear are the sounds of nature.

Plus there’s no HOA and enough land to have a small orchard with a flock of chickens (both for eggs and meat production) to produce fertilizer/compost for the gardens/orchard.

Luckily the grocery store is a 15 minute bicycle ride away (so the car stays at home most of the time). But you’re absolutely right - the home gym necessity. I’m constantly adding equipment (since a home gym is never “finished” lol). I like using my Fitbod app since I can tell it what gear I have at home to play with so it’ll generate routines using only that equipment.

Yeah, but foraging for wild mushrooms is something y’all are taught from a very young age. You’re taught what kinds are safe to eat, and what ones to absolutely avoid. I highly doubt anyone with a scientific background would just randomly eat mushrooms without positive identifications.

Given that this is Russia, he probably refused to stand near any windows and had an affinity for wild mushrooms so someone took advantage of the situation lol
