  1. Re:We already knew this on Carpenter Who Cut Off His Fingers Makes "Robohand" With 3-D Printer · · Score: 1

    Printing a mold and then casting in an appropriate material isn't exactly super expensive either. I fail to understand why the biggest complaints about 3d printing are material when you can just cast in any material. The expensive part is always creating the mold.

    umm, that's a helicopter, not a flying car. It even says so on their front page.

  3. It's not in the spec, so what happens is implementation defined.

    Just because YOU think math is something else, doesn't mean it is.

    Why tell a person to research a disputed controversial thing when you could just tell them why you think the Kool-aid tastes so great?

    That's where the failed physicists end up right?

    Well, everybody knows that!

    You just have to separate the lower fluctuations from the higher fluctuations.

    It's probably 'cause they're human.

    You'll have to get used to it.

    You could, you definitely could. Though that would work less in to his plea of 'look how smart I am, don't kill me first during the zombie apocalypse'.

    Have you seen how most modern crafts people deal with arcs and circles?

    You might be more smugly satisfied if you didn't just fail. What the parent failed at was writing and you reading.

    You shouldn't get worked up by a wrong definition in your head.

    Um, you do know it's only the USians that do that right? Mexico in Mexico means the city, not the country. The USians were also the only ones arrogant enough to ignore all the other people on the continent and proclaim "we're king of all this shit".

    No, but some autistic people might be smart enough to know god.

    Your limited petty viewpoint is not reality.

    maybe you should research that...

    Is everybody autistic here? There is a whole word outside of literal definitions. Why humans have come up with such things as hyperbole, sarcasm, analogies, metaphors, etc...

    ah, you're still stuck in the divided mindset that has led to the mess we currently have.

    Power tools actually encourage shoddy construction, and then you might actually need stupid things like nails, useless things.

    You need to properly understand the real COST of something before you understand that electricity for everything is not the answer to a sustainable future.

    Security cameras? Seriously? See how much of a security system you need when you're surrounded by animals.

    Though I would keep a quad-copter for reconaissance. I could easily fit that into the energy budget.

    pretty sure the guy that can build the stills is going to be a lot more useful than the guy that knows precisely when to add package A to the container, and just how long to wait before adding package B.

    The mayan apocalypse did happen, that's kinda of why they aren't ruling north america. Their calendar also succesfully turned over, and the sun continued it's journey just as they predicted.

    Language is spoken by humans. Get used to it.

    No amount of autistic raging is going to change the fact that there are definitions and then there are colloquial definitions.

    Wrong. If we have to do it over again, we should do it correctly and go permaculture all the way.

    Then forget about the wastefulness of having tons of motors and tons of transformers and tons of heat sources and tons of heatsinks in a house. Simple systems that are designed for their ecosystem. Not the aggressive shit storm we have right now.
