Although when doing things like this you may end up with Facebook believing that you are a gay Jew looking for a Jamaican lover to join you Yellow knife Canada. So to that end I believe I have sufficiently poisoned that well.
True, at the moment they are still somewhat disapointing, but that is to be expected when you are scaling machines that just a few years cost tens of thousands of dollars down to something consumers can play with.
Usually the quality produced between a commercial/industrial device and consumer one is comparable with other devices with the biggest difference being the size and power requirements for other tools. Granted when you go down to the bottom of the barrel they will suck but for things like welders, plasma cutters, milling machines, and other machine tools this seems to hold, yet a commercial 3d printer produces vastly better quality than a consumer one. I recently decided to spend some money and get a good consumer plasma cutter since they have experienced a dramatic drop in price similar to other tools like what I mentioned. It works great and the results are very good, but if I had bought a current 3D printer for a similar amount I would be very disappointed with it.
That said I could probably find uses for a 3D printer now but it would be more of a toy than anything else. I welcome people tinkering and working with them now as it does drive the market both in quality and price but I will wait until I can get one that will print in metal with very tight tolerances.
I want a pony, and a solid 99.99% pure rhodium toilet, and a private moon base.
The problem is I won't get those things but the constitution violating NSA Director Michael Rogers stands a reasonable chance of getting what he wants.
Simple answer is that they need to know if you have the right kind of health insurance since they are the government agency that was designated by law to collect the fine/fee/tax (pick your wording as it seems to be some sort of quantum superposition of them) that is assessed if you are found to be lacking. Why that agency was chosen was beyond me since apart from the law stating that the IRS collects it the IRS really has no relationship to the purchase of individual health insurance.
Given what would be considered a BB gun there is a lot of variation. Yes you have the smooth bore.177 cal Daisy ones that you can pick up for like $30 these are fairly harmless but good for starting out on. On the ultra high end of things you have.22 and.25 cal ones that are just barely sub sonic and shoot a fairly heavy projectile out of a properly rifled barrel that can cost well over $1000, and then there is everything in between. Personally I am using a $250.22 cal air rifle that is just barely subsonic and while it will shoot through raccoons and possums it usually takes 2 shots to kill them quickly (just not enough expansion from the projectile), smaller things like rabbits and squirrels just tip over dead. If I could find a.25 cal one I would probably jump up to that if it wasn't too expensive.
I would imagine that the jokes made at the time were fairly dark. Having spend a fair amount of time in Israel the people there have a fairly dark sense of humor around terrorism and war as well. When you see a tee-shirt with "Guns and Moses" written on it with a couple of crossed Kalashnikovs on it it becomes apparent pretty quick. Besides humor is one of the ways we deal with stressful situation.
You are also forgetting about the fine/fee/tax (pick your wording as it seems to be some sort of quantum superposition of them) that is assessed if you do not carry health insurance or the right kind of health insurance.
The work on that level, love or hate the tea party that is what they did. Go an run a bunch of like minded candidates in the primary election so that the only option is a candidate from your party that holds the correct views. Also by getting involved at the local precinct you can get rid of the incumbents by ensuring that they aren't on the ballot. Finally by getting involved at the local precinct level you can help shape the state party platform so you get to help define the litmus test used for future candidates.
Why go through all that effort with modern materials that probably will breakdown over the time scales in consideration? I was thinking more along the lines of using one color of clay for the primary tablet creating the impressions for the text, then filling those impressions with another color of clay. This should prevent the lettering from being damaged over time making reading easier. Then just fire the thing to create some stoneware. The goal would be to create something that has a high probability of being easily understood so fancy encoding and techniques for reading it should be avoided.
I would think fired clay tablets would offer similar storage but be a bit easier to manufacture. Sadly I now want to see if I can do this and create a modern rosetta stone and go bury it in the woods in the park behind my house.
Ask the last person who he talked to on the subject. Also as others have pointed out it doesn't matter what he thinks as the process to amend the MN Constitution requires only the both the MN house and MN senate pass the bill and that the voters approve the amendment.
Don't just e-mail the two listed senators. While they are the primary ones holding the bill up also send messages to you state congress member and state senator member encouraging them them support and pass the bill. Additionally encourage them to put pressure on the individuals holding up the bill.
Sounds like I ended lucking out then. It was after my junior year in chemistry that they cleaned out the chemical locker and got rid of all the good/dangerous stuff like the phosphors and sodium as well as a bunch of other things. Sounds like things have been going down hill ever since. We even got a demo of a thermite reaction (1 quart flower pot packed full) and the resulting mess when the rock in the bottom melted and I was lucky enough to evacuate the school when I successfully made 1 mole of hydrogen sulfide because the teacher put that chemical on the list of ones to generate without thinking. It was caught just after I had combined the chemicals and was reacting so everyone was evacuated. This was in the mid 90s and I guess even then things had been going down hill.
While it is possible to have a vasectomy reversed it may not work. Having had it done a couple of years back you get the full run down on it and they state that even if it is reversed you may still be sterile if your body developed antibodies against sperm. There are other things that can happen as well that may leave you sterile so it isn't entirely reversible but is much easier than it is for a woman.
I can get about 550 if I ran the tank from full to empty but wouldn't try that. This is on an '02 BMW 325i with a 5 speed manual, 0w40 synthetic motor oil, synthetic 75w90 gear oil in the diff, Bosch iridium plugs, K&N air filter, Stewart water pump, and Redline D-4 ATF in the transmission, and when it isn't freezing cold outside I can consistently get 33-36mpg communing to and from work. On a long road trip (about 3000 miles) I managed 38mpg over the whole thing and that includes about 1000 miles in the mountains of CO. Just because I drive a gasoline powered vehicle doesn't' mean I want to waste energy and resources.
That said right now an EV is border line for my usage since those mileage claims assume warm weather and I would rather not get stuck because I ran out of charge on a cold snowy day when people don't know how to operate their vehicles. For my wife even something like a leaf would be ideal and probably better than her current car since she drives so little. And by so little I mean her car rarely ever comes up to full operating temp and needs special care because of this.
Hey don't give away the secrete to becoming wealthy. Don't you know that to sustain the economy we need to spend every dime we make and then some.
In all seriousness I see way too many people buying vehicles that they really can't afford and even at my fairly well paying job am an oddity in that I drive a vehicle until it isn't worth repairing and then go pay cash for a different used one in good condition. I seem to spend between 1-10% of my income on a vehicle when I buy one with the lower percentage being spent on a beater truck/SUV for bad weather and doing truck things with. I have always been the last owner of every vehicle I have ever purchased and after I am done they get hauled off to the scrap yard and I get $200-$300 for it.

So in about 15 years I can expect quality consumer 3D printing devices?
I was thinking:
Baking a baby in a truck
But I'm pretty sure there is plenty prior art for that.

I thought it was because their readership still believes that showing an ankle is hard core porn.

Hey the MOA has the Lego store so it isn't all crappy overpriced food and clothing stores. That and don't forget about the amusement park.

Actually I think it would be the iClinton.
That sounds like some crazy alien talk right there.
Quick I found one!

Same here and now I feel old.

The sad part is I didn't read that as 4 unique solutions but as just the normal progress of things.
