I get those when I print PETG too cold. Filament fails to stick to the print and cooks on the nozzle for a while, then gets wiped off eventually.

Alright, this gives me crazy heebie jeebies. Something about how close that horizon is, combined with the fact that beyond it is just nothing, absolute nothing, for light-years in most directions; hits the buttons for claustrophobia, agoraphobia, acrophobia, and thalassophobia at the same time.
I have never felt happy about the fact that I was born too early to go space mining til now. No thanks. Maybe if I get to keep a ton or two of native platinum for myself, otherwise no thanks.


implying Russia still has working AA to exhaust
Hats off to the engineers, but it’s kinda already been done the hard way.


UNLIMITED POWER


We need some of that shit growing in our space stations. And maybe we could use to give some of its genes to ourselves to help survive out there


Decent chance that when it is hacked, the hackers will actually use it to spread true information.


For a few frames, there are actually three, and it turns into something a lot like a hand when he goes for the ass


With a superconductor, you can create a much more powerful electromagnet through which the coil will still produce a lot of voltage even when turning very slowly. Thus, you can use a much simpler gearbox or even just skip it entirely.


My favorite application for room-temp superconductors is low-speed generators. They have exactly one application, but it’s big: Wind towers without a giant gearbox. Wind power is cheap, but without the truck-sized gearbox with a bazillion moving parts that you can’t lift without the biggest cranes known to man, it’s even cheaper.


Four Winds Shotgun is a good thing to know about. I don’t think you even need a machine shop.
Man we got war droids already and the people who really need ones that work are NOT making theirs shaped like a guy.


Videogames didn’t give me poor social skills. Poor social skills made me turn to videogames.


Impressive! Pretty soon they’re going to be able to build the Torment Nexus from the hit sci-fi book series Don’t Build the Torment Nexus!


You’ll understand if you start having any


Not so sure about that. I started smoking less weed after I got less depressed instead.


I can’t be arsed to dig up the equation, but it may mean that the wind has 200 times more usable energy, which I think is a cube function of its speed. Wouldn’t be 2000 knots in that case


One watt per square meter. Not very useful.
I think that’s also possible, but it’s happened to me a lot more from lower temperatures.
