Everything I know about furrys I learned from a GWAR video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

RIP Oderus.

They have fancy injection molding machines that rotate a bunch of molds under a single extruder like barrel. But I get the point.

But my point is that making a precise filament is not trivial. Neither is making mold set. But they are both similar in cost. One gets you an almost finished product, one gets you a feed stock for yet another machine.

Making my own filament would not strike me as a good use of time, especially if it's a solved problem. Uneven filaments have to lead to stuck screws and clogged nozzles.

Plastic is going to have been extruded multiple times by the time it hits the molding machine or extruder hopper. It extrudes out of the reactor where it's born.

You can get software that will give you an infinite set of virtual Legos.

It truly sucks to use. Real world Legos have a much better user interface.

Printer filament will always be more expensive then a mass produced injection molded part. The filament has to be extruded, the part molded.

Also the printed part will suck, strength wise vs the molded part.

The only place it makes any sense to print 'plastic junk' is when you can print a part and extend the life of something valuable. 3d plastic printers are for prototyping.

That wire will power a current Tesla charger.

Elvis would never have wiped his butt with a $5. He was holding a $100 bill.

Most new guitars are made in china and are truly garbage. Even name brands you would not expect it from.

Tubes are inherently linear amplifiers (obvious restrictions, you can't be slamming the rails), transistors are inherently non-linear.

Not to get into the details of amplifier design, but much of the effort of designing a transistor amp is filtering out the hetero-dined frequencies. Filters cause their own problems.

I'm guessing your professor's Nobel was not in physics.

Tube amps have the potential to be much better then transistor amps. Real world differences are not so great.

300 years ago whole segments of society were dedicated to classical music and there was no electronic music reproduction. I'd guess there were more person hours spent on classical music then vs. today.

They are not unlike Emos.

If you go through life looking/acting like a refugee from a Dr.Seuss book you should expect to be mocked.

People who fuck through holes (in costumes, bathroom walls or bed sheets) deserve to be laughed and pointed at.

That's why you do double blind testing, with 'experts' on the test panel.

Much is bullshit.

3 phase. Each leg carries 200A.

Also note: it's the weight the will kill the practicality.

Rent control reduces the supply of available apartments. So yes, without rent control those who don't get a rent controlled apartment will save money.

Because pointing out racist liberal hypocrisy is racist?

Not their job to enforce laws.

If they aren't doing anything illegal, it's all good. If their hosts can get away with it, it's all good.

Rules were made to be broken.
