  1. Spoken like an anonymous coward!

    If the other organizations news is wrong more often it is because they cover much more than Trump's ego and make an occasional error. Fox regurgitates Trump's lies as if they were the only thing that matters anywhere in the world, except when they are inventing new lies to inject into and manipulate his child-like brain.

    I don't need any news organization to tell me that Trump lies when the videos of the bullshit coming straight from his mouth are everywhere to be seen.

    But maybe that's all just clever CGI and he never said any of those things. It's all a vast left-wing conspiracy!

  20. Re:I've been hearing the same argument since 2011. on The Bitcoin Bubble (economist.com) · · Score: 2

    There's a difference between "worth" and "price". Bitcoin has near zero worth and lots of price. Such a disparity cannot go on forever. With so much of the supply in the hands of so few, price manipulation aimed at robbing small players is a real possibility/probability.

    Tulip bulbs went through a similar price/worth mismatch.

  23. I design, build, and use 3D printers. on MakerBot Launches New 'MakerBot Labs' Platform (hackaday.com) · · Score: 2

    I wanted one about 6 years ago. Well, actually, 20 years ago, but it was a financial impossibility until 5 or 6 years ago. I was reading about them in engineering journals for many years and never saw one up close until I joined the Milwaukee Makerspace. One of the members had a Makerbot CupCake.

    I wanted a machine that was capable of printing a full sized human skull extracted from CT scan data. I looked at that miserable little CupCake, pushed on it and poked at it a little, and instantly knew I could make something much better. So I did. It took about a year and a half to get it printing, but it produced extremely high quality prints over its 305 x 317 mm bed. I used what I learned from that one and built my second printer over about a 6 month period- fully enclosed, warm enough to print ABS reliably, etc. I measure, test, and redesign until I get the machine to do what I want. I build printers like the proverbial brick s**t house using surplus industrial components and absolutely minimal 3D printed parts. I set the bed level once and don't have to touch it again.

    6 years and three designs/builds later I have a CoreXY machine that can print 300 x 300 x 695 mm. I still haven't printed that skull, but I print a lot of other things. Here's one example: https://drmrehorst.blogspot.co... I have about 50 designs posted to Youmagine and Thingiverse, and countless others that I have never posted.

    They aren't for everyone, and some people never get past printing tugboats and Yoda heads, but some of us do interesting and even useful stuff.
