  1. Re:Not a nerd on 3D Printing: Have You Taken the Plunge Yet? Planning To? · · Score: 1

    Your life must be a bitter, boring existence. You hate on Kludge for spreading "FUD" but I couldn't hear it over all the racket you're making grinding on that axe. Why do you hate DIY 3D printing? Why is it to your benefit to shout it down and drive hobbyists from it? It certainly sounds like that's what you're doing. Hell, you even called the guy a liar! I'm entertaining me, not you, so I care not for your opinions on efficiency. I'll dull every pair of scissors I can find on this damned planet until I get that statue finished.

    Stop the anti-Union trolling AC. My union dues cost $48/mo and that is only because I've opted for the "A" ticket. If you're working somewhere Unionized, I seriously think you can afford the dues and I have absolutely zero belief that the dues are a make/break thing.

  5. In that case you have the upper hand on The Myth of the Science and Engineering Shortage · · Score: 1

    You're looking at this from a noble position. You're thinking like you act in real life (I hope) i.e. work 8 hours get 8 hours pay and do the best job to your ability. That shit is old school, sorry. Think like the corps do. If you are afraid they're gonna enslave you for 5 years, remember you have the upper hand. Just show up and then don't do shit. What are they gonna do? Fire you? If they do that then you're out of the loan and so that debt is not chaining you anymore. Problem solves itself. Now before you and many others process what I said to mean "be a useless piece of shit", I'm not saying that is your initial plan. That is the plan you fall back on when you believe they're mistreating you.

    I've installed a couple now and I agree, the clip-over-your-existing-mirror mirror is cheap, flimsy, doesn't quite look right, and usually blocks visor operation. However if you spend a few more bucks you can get a real mirror with a monitor in it that attaches to the windshield mount replacing your OEM one. Those are much nicer and you can get them with compass, temperature, autodimming, and map lights depending on just how much you want to spend.

    You don't shop much. Rear view cams can be had for $15 and a mirror monitor for about the same on Amazon, eBay, Alibaba, and other places. If you consider $30 to been incredibly pricey then may I suggest you join the 21st century and stop valuing costs like you're spending 1969 dollars. Cokes aren't a nickel and sadly a dime bag costs way more than a dime.

  13. Re:Next up: a direct detection on Big Bang's Smoking Gun Found · · Score: 1

    That's a common mistake to make. Dollar bills appear to be quite large but they actually weigh very little so they don't actually throw that many gravity waves off. To make that even more confusing, the banks commonly consolidate large amounts of dollars (100 to be exact) into a single bill which weighs about the same as a single dollar. And if that wasn't enough, new fangled technology has emerged that negates the existence of bills as redundant. They simply make up a number to put into a "computer" which magically sends that number to the other party- no real bills needed! With all of this crazy technology, it's no wonder you'd think someone would detect that mess of a merger.

    How hath thy 6 digit self forgotten thy history? When we rolled into Iraq and Afghanistan the HMMVs had no armor. Soldiers were dying left and right from harassing fire and IEDs. The problem was so bad in the first couple years that the units themselves would take blown up HMMVs and use them to make armor for the HMMVs that didn't get destroyed. We did finally start getting the current armor sets and turrets that your post refers to, but those were afterthoughts and the vehicles chassis and powertrain had a lot of problems dealing with all of that extra weight. Luckily, as Etherwalk below mentions, we now have several MRAP vehicles that exceed HMMVs, jeeps, and the CUCVs of yore because they were designed to carry that armor, have those turrets, and even built with functioning air conditioning! I guess my point was, if choosing between a jeep or a hummer, there really is no difference. Oh and the A10 is the greatest plane EVAR, period, end of story. It's better than the goddamned Space Shuttle. :)

    Since the stupid panda crap pissed me off, I dumped World of Warcraft and switched to Rift Now before I hear the F2P hate, be aware that this game is absolutely NOT pay to win. I am very conscious of such things and I've seen no aspect of it that you just had to shell out real money for. I have spent some real money, but just on stupid shit like a giant squirrel mount and of course "Patron" time which is what the monthly sub turned into (still $15). I'm fairly happy with it and the graphics blow WoW out of the water.
