I was incredibly sick having 8 hours a day or more screen time, sometimes even 80 hours in a week. Now with this I don’t need to work anymore cutting out the vast majority of my screen time.

Another and oft overlooked problem is that nearly all strong scents are mild to powerful drugs that affect all kinds of bodily functions commonly being anti inflammatory like aspirin or ibuprofen. People say vaping is dangerous for your health but then scent emitters are advertised as plug one in every room and two in bathrooms where you breathe them for a majority of your lifespan. It’s true the quantity is much lower per breath, but people who vape go through about the same or far less actual fluid and the mechanism for aerosolizing is identical as they both use a batting to get the oil to flow and increase surface area while a heated coil does the vaporizing. Many people have sensitivities including life threatening ones but these bio active chemicals are stuffed in everything from laundry detergent to perfume products to body products and incense likely has the strongest exposure risk. People tend think of that sensitivity as a random bizarre reaction to something inert and not an adverse reaction to being drugged against their will. At least after all the deaths and hospitalizations they are now required to put that on air fresheners.

The half life of uranium isotopes are on the order of 10^6 to 10^9 years while the half life of radium isotopes are on the order of 10^1 to 10^3 years making radium thousands to billions of times worse, plus it’s hard to get specks of uranium or any solid into the body while you will breathe radium gas easily. Radium is so very very much worse than uranium for radiation.

My favorite meme is “Iran up your gas prices!”

Yes, I know we are at war with you, but could you keep shipping us the refined fuel and all the parts we need for bombs and planes we can’t make for ourselves please?

V2H still isn’t able to be commonly installed for most regions in most vehicles. However, last year we had an extended outage of two days and my EV was at about 50% charge. It has V2L (vehicle to load) standard and I just ran an extension cord to several refrigerators and a chest freezer, used it for lighting, charging phones, powering my router and modem, the gas oven/stove, and still drove it (after unplugging) and it was awesome. Saved hundreds of dollars in groceries from spoiling and kept us entertained and comfortable.

This is a good argument to move from a level 1 or slow level 2 charger to a high power level 2 charger. You can reasonably get a 11.5kW charger in the US, our slow chargers are usually around 1.8kW. While Europe has 2.3-3kw and go to 11 or even 22kW if your home has 3 phase power. If your vehicle can support it you will be able to get over 7x the free electricity and perhaps full charges for free.

Yes, that’s the /s

Maybe they can make up for it by dramatically raising prices both of the movie and concessions. /s

If not sooner any part for any intellectual property of any design of any kind. It really gets under the skins of companies when instead of being forced to buy a cheap plastic part for hundreds of dollars you can just print it for a few dollars of filament.

None of that refutes the argument the hardest component to make and the one most integral to a gun and the one that can’t be made on a plastic printer is the barrel. With a 3-D printed receiver that’s also stupid simple to make with hand tools you just buy a proper barrel just like about every single last 3-D design thats out there. The big mistake was to think the receiver was the hardest part to make when it never was. You can make a simple hole with a hand drill and use a simple adjustable reamer to at least get pressure which would work on a hand gun at under 10 feet, which completely negates the idea of fear mongering and trying to make plastic printing replacement parts for anything illegal.

This is about stopping right to repair, and guns are being used as the boogeyman to frighten people into accepting it. Monied interests would ban all 3-D printing if they could.

Whelp, there goes my hemoglobin.

Yes really. Where is there a law limiting the number of guns you may own? Simply buy a new barrel, you’re done it’s repaired. Are you trying to make a metaphysical argument about the gun of Theseus?

Where does a 3-D plastic filament printer figure in because it’s not possible to make a barrel with plastic when the pressure climbs to many tens of thousands of PSI in a proper barrel. Even a half million dollar metal printing machine isn’t going to make a barrel that’s reasonable, it would require post maching operations and the examples I’ve seen barely have velocity, accuracy, or hold up more than a few hundred shots tops while taking thousands of dollars in material costs. By far the hardest part to make and still have a reasonable weapon is the barrel and you just argued against any cnc machine bill much less a plastic one.

maybe for some parts but the rifling is helical and I’ve yet to see wire under tension that holds a helical shape.

The problem is the serial number is printed on the receiver which is just a block that holds the all important properly made barrel without which you aren’t going to have almost any accuracy or velocity both of which actually separate it from a crude barely functioning weapon and an accurate and powerful one. Putting the serial number on the barrel and regulating that makes far more sense, you can’t even rifle the barrel properly without specialized equipment that’s not run of the mill CNC. You can’t make decent ones on even a half million dollar metal printer and you certainly can’t make them from pla on a $150 machine. Did the barrel wear out on your gun? Well good news there isn’t a limit on the number of guns you can own just buy a new barrel, its not some kind of unsolvable gun of Systheus riddle.

This smacks of butt hurt over people being able to print and repair things they own without having to be at the whims of companies looking to control what you do with what you own on your own time and with your own money.
