That's "gospodin mask" to you, Comrade, not "Elon".

The shares of Schpace Yikes that musko is selling aren't "public" so he can pretty much control who buys them... Because he's selling them.

Wake me when we can have small, cheap gas/diesel pickup trucks like the classic S10, Ranger, Hilux, Tacoma, Brat, etc.

You probably do have them, they're called "vans": I'm pretty sure Ford sell their Transit series in the US. Here, they are available in many configurations, such as standard box van, flatbed, drop side, and optionally with crew cabs too.

A drop side van is the same as a 2WD pickup with a more flexible bed (because the sides drop too) and better forward visibility.

For stuff that sits in a car and likely won't warp in the sun, I just go ABS or ASA.

Either print in a well ventilated garage or get an activated carbon filter. ABS gives off toxic fumes, so take care. Otherwise I think it's a bit of an underrated plastic.

It adds stiffness and some creep resistance. It usually adds a bit of strength, but it's not like epoxy/fibre composites where the majority of strength comes from the fibres. It's A bit more strength, maybe 50% depending on the formulation and part, but often lower. But also, it depends on if you mean yield or ultimate strength.

It's also a good way of trading toughness and stiffness and yield strength. PETG is incredibly tough, not hugely stiff and moderately in ultimate tensile strength. But the toughness is such that the ultimate tensile strength is not that useful often since it's so distorted by then. CF-PETg is rather less tough, similar ultimate tensile strength but a somewhat higher yield strength and with less creep and more stiffness. It also maintains the excellent impact resistance of PETG.

I can't speak for Europe / England and their repair laws, but everything in America is required to be approved by the FAA for use in aviation

He bought it at an airshow in America.

And that is actually the problem with this "story": Self-driving cars are held to a much higher standard. That is neither rational nor useful.

Delivering equipment to the 3rd Reich to aid in the killing of jews. Funny how history repeats itself.

You do realize where you are, do you? This is not a classroom and some basic understanding is required to play. You clearly lack that.

Don't be a (mentally) lazy fuck. There is a large body of literature on this question.

Indeed. The difference is that everything you assume (not believe) to be a fact needs to come with evidence and need do be falsifiable (i.e. evidence that proves it is wrong could be obtained if it is wrong). Obviously, you, personally, cannot verify everything. But you can verify some things and it is expected that you did, usually in school. The only assumption that you need to be able to make is that all the other facts were verified by somebody.

In contrast, with faith/belief, there is no verification. Nobody has ever successfully verified that God (which ever one) does exist. There are some plausibility arguments, but they are all weak and many are basically not even argument but just serve to confuse the question by adding complexity. None of these meet scientific standards. And that claim is not falsifiable either: You cannot disprove God exists. What ever proof you have, it would be limited, because in some dark corner of the universe, God could be hiding away, ignoring everybody. Hence "God exists" does not even need the requirements for a scientific claim, regardless of whether that statement is true or not. This is the reason why Atheists say things like "God does almost certainly not exists".

In short, you can "believe" scientific facts (or not), but in doing so you do not participate in Science and you are not using the scientific method. Any claim to Science being about belief is simply a direct lie though.

PLA is also not very durable. In hot and humid climate, PLA can decompose in a few months. PLA is, in some sense, a great prototyping material but not suitable for most other tasks.

Yep, that nicely sums it up.

Help me out here, are you saying it's okay to plop an iPad in front of your kid and let it raise them if you're a single parent and that's just the best you can do? Because it sure sounds that way.

I'm normally on the side of "raise your kids however you damn well please". It's just that we've recently started to see some actual evidence though that too much screen time at too young an age may be detrimental to a child's well being, and it's really not the worst thing in the world if politicians are looking into that. Especially since there's no shortage of historical examples where companies have put the pursuit of profit above the welfare of children.

Now Russia, on the other hand, is probably not doing it for the welfare of their children, obviously. For them it's just another western thing they want to be be rid of.

This you?

That's what I was specifically responding to; why our right-wing politicians are also going after Roblox. As for Russia, I've never visited, it's one of those places I have no desire to every visit because I value my freedom, and if they're banning Roblox it probably just is because fascist shitholes are gonna fascist shithole.

Getting their jobs sent to American AI won't be noticeably better for American workers than getting their jobs sent to Chinese AIs.
