"The only silver lining of Trump's demented Iran war is diesel hitting $6 per gallon and the sound of all those F150 tears."

150s don't run on diesel. Only Dodge has a half ton diesel pickup because only they have a mid sized diesel engine. Ford uses turbo gas motors for that market. Those are F250 and larger tears.

Most people don't know the difference between a SUV and a CUV, which is because the manufacturers deliberately created confusion on that point in order to sell vehicles consumers were rejecting. Most people don't know the difference between full frame and unibody either, they only know whether the vehicle crashes over bumps or not. It's irrelevant because it's irrelevant to the majority of buyers, who don't know shit about shit

"the Lightning was always a glorified grocery getter for people who didn't use a pickup for a work-use. It was suburban vehicle for those that didn't want to have an SUV. It was an upscale minivan that you could put plywood and crap in the back - if you didn't care about messing up your $70,000 truck. It was a great vehicle - but it wasn't a "Truck"."

Trucks are heavy vehicles. They're defined in the code as such. The lightning is a pickup. Like the lightning it was named after, it's not a great one in terms of maximum pickup ability. It's a lot more useful than the last one, though.

Which, of course, is AWESOME.

A human who knows something will reject an obviously wrong answer, but since the LLM knows literally nothing and the AI companies won't pay for it to check even its own work (which won't solve the problem but will REDUCE the major fails) it will just happily shit out a catastrophe.

People aren't "printing guns", at least not with plastic printers.

Yes, they are. They aren't printing every single part of the gun, but yeah, they are printing guns. And I say that as someone who plans to print one eventually, though probably not while I live in California. You can make your own rifled barrels with EDM, too, so you actually can manufacture every part of the firearm yourself.

Many printers, including Bambu Labs', don't have endstop sensors. They run to the end and detect the stepper stall.

Yeah, that's also done with a sensor. It's done with current sensing. And it's not a hard stop, it's a soft stop. So, exactly what I said it was. Note I didn't mention a switch or hall sensor.

They're direct driven by the stepper motors and don't have the power to "strip belts or cogs."

Then they can kill the steppers. That's not better.

You. Vile. Piece. of. filth. 168 kids at a school that they double? trilple? tapped? That was intended as MURDER. The same way that the IDF double and triple taps hospitals and schools, allegedly to kill one person.

And bombing civilians is going to make the civilians who hate the Iranian government hate them more, rather than pulling together - which is what EVERY STUDY SINCE WWI says happens.

Murderers. And you support murder.
