Maybe you should read the Republican Platform before you claim what's in it. A lot of double speak as in anti-environment talk, anti-EPA put under Environment Protection. & the "Renewing American Values" section... eye opener for sure. I could go on but what's the point? They had a gay person speak! There were some black people there too!
I would like to believe that this guy has money stashed all over the place & should be able to fund his own defense.
Even so, no matter how much money is spent, no matter what the source, he is likely to be found guilty of something. Something serious enough to give him a few years in prison.
Cost! I need it cheaper! I've got family all over the place. Torture me with your little seats, your long lines, the security theater, but make it cheaper. At least bring back the prices we enjoyed before 2006 when oil was cheap. WAIT! Oil has not been this cheap since 2002!
This is where I got the idea you saw that is a "new problem":
Kind of like how Obama care solved the pre-existing issue while creating entire new sets of problem
Personally my coverage has a huge network of providers & I do not need a referral to a specialist. I can go nearly anywhere. But I'll still wait 2-3 months.
IMO single payer is really about getting rid of health insurance companies. Fucking parasites. Everyone needs healthcare, if not you this year, your mom or your child.
Thanks for your suggestions. Yes, now days if I need an appointment fast, NPs and PAs are what I get. However, you still have to have that primary doctor first & that is what I required, a new doctor. Nurse Practitioner, Physician's Assistant... sounds like the same solution from the guy from the UK. Mine just costs more, much more.
Last time I attempted to get a doctor's appointment I was told "we are scheduling two months out..." & my healthcare insurance is "premium". It should be premium for what I pay for it. I had to get a new doctor last year. After navigating the labyrinthine system I was able to find a doctor that was somewhat in my part of town & of course, 6+ weeks for the first appointment.
De-fund the shit out of a program, then point at it & say "look! It doesn't work!"
OK so I didn't cancel them, but I did change the passwords. I might want one of both of those accounts some day. Not that it would really matter if they were hacked. There is nothing in my profile, not even my name, so what's the worst that can happen?
It's a good thing I don't have Myspace, LinkedIn, and Tumblr accounts. Twitter? I think I got two of them I started a years ago. At the time I'm sure I had a reason. I get messages on two different email accounts from Twitter, so I figure I have the accounts.
Maybe I can go cancel them (if it's possible). I see no need for them whatsoever. Or am I missing something?
Yep, I got a disabled brother who's been "Microsoft free since 1998" who's keeps telling "use WINE!" but i t really is not practical & makes no sense as I would still be using Windows. VM is the same, what's the difference? I really don't see it changing anytime soon.
It happened last night. Right at the start of my son's LAN party. One kid was on my personal desktop, just got in Overwatch & they called me downstairs. "Preparing to install Windows 10. Do not turn off your computer". Fuck that, one kid without a computer for the evening was unacceptable. I immediately hit the reset button. Luckily it booted right into Windows 7 where, for better or worse, I downloaded & ran Never10.
Linux is not an option for me. The software I run for work no longer has a version for Linux. I am stuck with MS for now & likely will be installing Win10 in the next few weeks anyhow.
Thank you. This is why I tell people when they download a utility to delete it & download the latest version when they need it again. It's too bad I did not follow my own advice with 7-ZIP. Come Monday I will update all my clients & discuss the AV with the IT folks.
They are not going to like this at all. There is a really good chance they will freak out & make me remove all 7-ZIP installs completely. They may even have a emergency meeting where they will look to place blame & decide an engineer should not be doing IT work. What's funny is when I tell them about this it will be the first they've heard of it. None of them actually follow tech news at all.
I do not work in IT, I work in engineering. Our IT department keeps themselves clueless about CAD & CAD data management & somehow, mainly by default, I am the admin (in my spare time HA! what exactly is spare time?!). I've been using & deploying 7zip on all the clients I install our CAD platforms on.
Are all these machines at risk? Am I going to get an email from that IT guy yet again?
Dang I would hate to be on that development team. Job security I guess. Now they will likely be working on a version that can be tossed into the compost pile. Why not make it edible? A nice snack to go with your coffee?
So once I clarified my original post, for the most part, we agree. As much as I would like to invest in a 3D printer, I just can't think of stuff to make. Maybe I'll find some inspiration at the next Maker fair if my son still has an interest in going.
I can see me dropping 1K on a printer & having it just sitting there mocking me.
You can load them into a CAD package and modify them. The file format is completely metric. Load into a CAD package and measure whaever you want.
You can load the STL file but you can't "modify" it easily. You can cut it, add some features to it but you can't change it the base model as it is a "dumb" model. I have one open right now. You can't even effectively measure it as it is made of triangles. You can get close but there are no diameters, no flats to measure, so you can only get a close idea of the size of a particular feature.
Not really sure what you'd do with tolerances with a 3D printer
Not a lot for rapid prototyping but many postings on this article claimed that the manufacturer was giving away I.P. or "plans". The stereolithography format (.slt) files give little to no real I.P. away. We generally only share eDrawing files (with the no ability to measure) or PDF U3D when customers ask. They look great but are next to useless for reverse engineering. As is.stl, next to useless for reverse engineering.
Not for most FDM printers. I can walk into an actual shop in London and walk away with reels of ABS for about 25 pounds per kilo. You can get it cheaper online.
That I did not know. I've seen these reels of ABS used at the Maker fair but the stuff they were making certainly didn't seem really detailed. I assume there are higher end machines that could print better parts using that same inexpensive material. We have several choices of materials, one of which claims to be an ABS (Digital ABS PolyJet Photopolymer). All of these are very expensive mainly because they have to come from the people that made the printer.
They make.stl available, which is pretty cool. However these are not "plans", they are just "dumb" 3D models made of a lot of triangles with no easy way to edit/modify. There are no real dimensions, no tolerances, & if by "plans" you mean engineered drawings, obviously they are not providing those.
As I said, it's still pretty cool. I mean if you already had a 3D printer (or access to one). Even with access the material is usually pricey so this would still be expensive. I do have access to a high end 3D printer but for any of the larger parts I would have to run it on the weekend & hope to not get caught. So far they've just approved each purchase of the material but some day they are going to ask where it's all going.
Suppressing the minimum wage suppresses all wages. The base rate for all wage slaves is the minimum wage. Raise it to $15 (by 2022?!) , the guy making $15 wants a raise to $18, the guy making $18 wants $20 & so on.
A new Subway can't make it paying people $15 an hour? There is something wrong somewhere in the franchise's business model.
Yes I know, VR headsets or cardboard boxes you stick your phone in... Someone actually had a monitor/helmet thing back in the 90s, a friend of mine had one & I tried it, not at all VR. It cost him $700! Some people got motion sickness back then, my brother was one, just playing a shooter on a CRT. What I wanna see is Snow Crash like VR dangit!
Q2 had the skins, but it really was just for laughs, nothing porno about IMO. & yea they had porn style crap video games back in the 80s, forget the name of one of them.
Back in the day I was playing Quake 2 a lot.. a whole lot. One late night I was a mostly empty server chatting with a female (well she claimed to be at least) & she sent me skins that she was using. She kept switching from one to another & I had a epiphany of what the future held. Yes it was late & got a bit weirded out.
But I really thought that VR porn (hell VR anything) was only a couple years away & we are talking 1998 for christsake. What has taken so freaking long for this technology to be implemented?
My dream is to have a computer waiting for my input. Today, even with the fastest machine, I am contunually waiting on the machine. Blame it on crappy software, networks, whatever, but CPUs really need to be a LOT faster IMO.
Start a franchise, pretty much any big name brand restaurant. Your contract has set costs, your contract for the building set in stone, your overhead minus labor, non-negotiable... that leaves labor.
So you want more money in your pocket, the only place to grab it is from your workers somehow. I knew a woman that was an "assistant manager" at a Culver's. They cut the health care coverage to the bare bones & made the employees (managers & assistant managers) pay 100% for it. The owners (they had 3 Culver's) saved 10K. Just enough take their families to Hawaii for 2 weeks over Christmas.
