i can see the headline on Slashdot in 2018ish

"First all 3d printed gun test fired 10k rounds"

Yesterday Crunktech successfully fired the Liberator V6 with 10k rounds. This was made possible by use of the new Super Goop with microwave activated hardening..."

but these PoliCritters need to understand the following

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State,the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

we are looking at a couple things

1 a School claiming copyrights on a teachers work (possibly preventing said teacher from posting the course on a free site)

2 folks wanting to get courses for free (maybe so that they know the material before doing the course for credit/paid??)

what i would do as a teacher is make sure that the vids/materials have several logos through out the course.

I think that the biggest (and possibly hardest) link in the chain will be creating and artificial Creche that can bring a child to term safely.

right now we have very talented (and intelligent) women not giving birth due to not wanting to deal with the problems of being pregnant.

(of course if somebody gets one going we most likely will find out that the kids turn out to be "Joker looks like Mr Rogers" crazy)

easy way for you to make a 90 degree angle.

1 get a rope make it into a circle and mark it into 12 even units
2 plant a peg where you want the 90 degree angle to be
3 run the line along where you want one of the walls to be and stop at 3 units and plant a second peg
4 run the line out to 8 units and then plant your third peg (there are 5 units between peg 2 and 3)
5 there will be 4 units left.

Some folks (newer Christians mostly) may have a problem with certain things (eating stuff sacrificed to Idols and such)

So as an older Christian you would not do %matters of faith issues% near/with those newer Christians.

It Would be considered rude to drink near somebody thats partway through 12 steps and trying to kick tobacco but
if you are not then

Lets light up those Cubans and test that Burbon!

the defcon talk on the subject basically advises that you

1 declare anything gun like (including all sorts of Nonfunctioning Replicas)
2 be smooth about it (if you have the funds bribing the Skycap to drop your stuff on his cart works well)
3 use HARD SIDED LUGGAGE WITH REAL LOCKS (no softsided stuff with TSA locks)
4 don't let your LOCKED luggage out of your sight until you get past the TSA luggage check.
5 ring up the airline to see what they say about ammo (some sort of Box and limits as to how much are common)

"yes i do have a 9mm packed with my kids jewelry it just happens that all of my groups luggage has a FireArm in it"

(as it happens the 9mm is my kids anyway but...)

the pilot then will hit the autopilot disable button and decide to explore the performance envelope of the airframe and then get on the radio

"This is Flight ????? calling the Tower

Go ahead Flight

I need to declare an emergency i had to handle a code 612 so i need to be met by EMS on landing.

Understood Code 612 current status?

Half my passengers and most of my crew were in seatbelts but everything in the cabin went flying. I need to have six persons picked up by the marshalls

the "Big Trick" to Changing the World is for each person to change what they can and then oh say use Social Media to get others to do the same.

enough folks keeping a few square meters of their area clean and fhelping a dozen folks will solve most problems today.

(and those gang bangers keeping things clean would work just fine)
