Porksnort enjoys laying in the sunshine. Porksnort will not refuse any offer of a snack. Porksnort thinks ‘Christian’ means you have thought a lot about how to live according to the words Jesus apparently actually said.
Right? It’s a super brain dead take. The presidential oath and things like the emoluments clause (i know, it’s quaint of me to think that ever mattered) explicitly ‘bind’ a President to act in the country’s interests.
It’s just mask-off Americanism though, we can finally admit the true core belief of our culture: nothing is immoral in the pursuit of profit.
Anger is a natural result of discovering that your natural abilities are routinely exploited and taken for granted but your needs that are a direct result of those same abilities will not be met.
My emotions are very well regulated, thank you. It is normal to feel anger when gaslit into thinking your normal human variation is a disorder.
New rabbit hole unlocked! Thanks. I have linked the article below for future deep dives into this text. I love Taoist thought and this comment was well timed to prompt a revisit.
You have told us what you both watch, but what do either of you do that isn’t just consuming someone elses creative work?
Yes! Autism is partly social difficulty, but that is not the same as a lack of social/emotional perceptivity. The difficulty is mutual among all parties.
I totally ’get’ what is going on in most social encounters, I just feel very little obligation to expend the energy to match the situation quite often.
Lately, I have become more ‘demanding’ socially. It’s working fine, and my attitude has become ‘I will meet people halfway’ in terms of working to accommodate the group vibe.
Quite often, others will sus out my wavelength too and it results in them doing more of their share of the ‘work’ of socializing. If not, well, I am better off learning that they won’t do their share.
I have lately become utterly fine with who I am. I am the normal one, conform to me.
You also need the horn section for that phat sound.
3D printing can be cost effective for small production runs too. There are large format printers both FDM and SLA with print quality, large bed size and speed more than sufficient.
Injection molding is only cheap when print runs are huge. In a rapidly developing space like drone warfare, a lot of plastic parts get changed frequently enough that injection molding becomes cost prohibitive, due to small production runs between design changes.
Take the example of a propeller vs a custom bracket to hold a new type of clip for ammo.
Propellers can be standardized according to motor, frame geometry, and power source parameters, so they can be mass produced with injection molding by the ton.
A bracket needed to test out a new configuration may only be made in runs of a few hundred before some other update changes things again.
All this is to say that drone warfare is logistically an insanely complex supply chain to manage.
3D printing will have a role in drones that see combat until the day the designs are completely perfect and never need to be changed again. Then the economy of scales can overcome the high setup costs of building an injection mold.
And the Pentagon will stockpile them by the billions to give SkyNet something to work with later. yay.
About what time should I come over?
The People v Larry Flynt sets a precedent for smut peddlers taking a necessary moral stance, I guess
Wow, thanks for that. I struggled for decades and also had a difficult time after a breakthrough. I describe it as being released from a long stint in prison, but there is no one to pick you up at the gate. There’s still a long walk ahead of you.
Yeah things are much better now, but my life path is still altered forever, there’s no going back.
Training can be reinforced by opining on said media at work, with friends and online. Feedback from these other models in the form of their own wrong opinions about the media reinforces one’s own model to always be right.
I love OpenSCAD and also realize it is a super backward way to make 3D models, according to most other people. I don’t bother even mentioning OpenScad as an option for most people, I know it is only for certain people.
I tried my hand at modeling and designing using more traditional CAD programs that work more visually. I have good spatial reasoning and visualization abilities but I could never get the breakthrough to a point where I felt literate in those tools.
Constructive Solid Geometry approaches just work for my brain. Now when I need a part designed, I can quickly sketch it out in rough code and I feel confident seeing myself as a ‘designer’ now. Other more ‘visual’ tools waste my time as I get sucked into finger painting instead of working out the fundamentals of the design.
With the code-first framework, I have to really think about what the part needs to do before I tweak the code.
