okay for Democrats to enable the Republican agenda

It's what people voted for.

and their habit of deflecting blame for continual strategic failure onto constituents.

It's called a primary. Biden/Kamala were the options because people chose them in the 2016 primary. But even with the DNC picked corporatist that wasn't primaried it shouldn't have mattered because a monkey flinging poop should have been elected over the child rapist. But America chose the child rapist.

People don't understand that Caillou wasn't written for kids but for parents. Each episode is about Caillou behaving bad and then showing how an adult can redirect the bad behavior. It's made extremely obvious in the books.

Apple doesn't care what you do with your driver as long as you keep paying them.

You're also claiming in your first sentence that "elections aren't a sporting event" but then call the people "athletes"

You ignored the important modifier to the sentence which is, "where the candidate loses".

That is it isn't a sporting event between candidates. It is a sporting event between the people. The candidate isn't the athlete. The candidate is the goal that the people kick their ball into.

Elections aren't a sporting event where a candidate "loses". It's actually the people who are the competing athletes.

The American people chose to elect the child rapist.

Intel has been beating mid range AMD and low end Nvidia for over a year so it's worth looking at.

I never liked cd caddies. The push button, wait for motor to eject, then push button, wait for motor to load was dissociative.

The floppy drive was a direct mechanical link between the button and eject.

Impeachment without removal is no different than Senator Collins saying, "He learned his lesson "

Don't insult people with "sealioning" when it's their first reply. Not everyone is an expert in German politics from 25 years ago.

Windows Media center was an amazing money saver! I cancelled all my cable boxes, bought a server to run 8.1, bought some used xbox360's for every TV in the house, and everything was paid for in 9 months compared to the cable company rental fees. So I not only got 3 xbox360s and a server for "free" but was saving money for the next 3 years until I cancelled cable completely.

Plus I had unlimited TV show storage and could transcode anything I wanted to keep permanently to mp4.

Yes he said that about his health care plan 12 years ago. It was always a month away.

 

I'm working on some models and have found that if I add an SVG modifier, Orca slices it beautifully. But I'd rather have the SVG's "baked" in the model so it's easier for others to download and freely share the STLs and print without a 3mf.

The problem is that if I put SVG image in Fusion and then export the model, when Orca renders the G-code, the quality is poor to bad. The same SVG added in Orca looks great.

STL with decal built into the STL geometry in Orca:

STL in Orca after "Preview" so you can see the layer lines:

The same file but applying the SVG as a modifier instead of it being part of the imported STL.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could get an STL to have the same quality as using a modifier? Or maybe a way to go backwards from gcode to STL so that I can share the higher quality version that Orca creates?

 

I've been pricing out components for my first new build in 20 years. (I've bought many ebay servers and a few mini PCs in between).

The parts are around $2k. But then I look at the amd ai max+ 395 PCs that are out or coming out shortly and I think I might be buying an already obsolete platform. For the same price I'd get 16 cores and over 2x the memory bandwidth.

 

I've made some prints fit in my printer by printing them at a diagonal. I work it out by spinning it until I don't get an error from the slicer.

I'd rather be able to calculate exactly what will fit beforehand instead of spinning the model around in CAD or the slicer.

Has anyone found/used a calculator that can do this?

"Emmitsburg Mayor Frank Davis voted for Donald Trump in hopes he would cut federal spending. Now Davis hopes those cuts don't include the permanent cancellation of classes at the National Fire Academy, which is part of the town's identity and helps drive its economy. Davis is also a chief at Emmitsburg's firehouse, known as the Vigilant Hose Company."

Trump killed the Fema training academy. It's not coming back.
