That’s the problem when you have a bunch of narcissistic opportunities vying for power. Eventually, they start trying to push each other down the stairs…

Nah, icicles are occasionally sharp…

I’m going to start calling them Tesla hatchbacks.

Considering that a US hospital will charge you a few grand for even looking in their direction these days, $2,500.22 for something serious, like seizures, sounds like a steal :(

Ideally, it would be the same word over and over, so that we can trick the AI into ending all sentences with the word. Bonus points if it is the word “buffalo”, since it can from a grammatically correct sentence.

I’ve had a lot of fun with Book of Demons, which is a bit more simplified, but really respects whatever amount of time I have to put into it!

The only things in that range around these parts are going to be burnt out husks of a house with a cheery “fixer-upper” in the listing title…

Doesn’t matter how similar it looks though.

The only way to tell is to open up both models and look at individual points of the 3d mesh. If their positions in 3d space match up to, say the hundred-thousandth of a decimal, then it is a copy.

But if the model was scaled or rotated or whatever, there would be no way to prove a case because there wouldn’t be a match.

The same thing was done to prove games was lying about copying models from previous games when they claimed that it was too difficult to add all previous monsters into different games because their converter tool was giving them issues.

Did they say how they analyzed the models? Because looking at the silhouette and other similarities isn’t enough to prove plagiarism when it comes to 3d models.

What you have to do is open up both the original and the suspected copy models and select a couple of similar vertices (the points that give the model geometry) and compare the position down to the decimal place. If they are even a little off, then it isn’t a copy.

Didn’t even have to be the US.

Israel has been known to threaten US politicians with financially backing their political opponents unless their Zionist line is toe’d.

Ah, yes on the first count at least, though that criteria wasn’t on your bulleted list, I guess it was in the title.

That being said, UV breakdown might not be as concerning in the short term if the substance is removed fairly often. I wonder if a clear gelatin or glycerin layer would last long enough?

I’ve also seen resin-infused paper-like substrate layers of material like carbon fiber attempt to bypass the requirement of an FEP. Each print layer was a new sheet and once the print was done the un-cured material was blown away.

Technically, I believe Mercury fulfills those requirements.

Otherwise, maybe something like Glucose?

There are a few substance here that meet that density: https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/liquids-densities-d_743.html

But, as far as resistance to UV and immiscability with UV resin, testing would be required, as I’m assuming you intend to replace the FEP film layer with a dense liquid.

If it is an industry problem, then this sort of event is usually what snowballs into actual change.

The tip of this case, I believe, isn’t just the caffeine content, but the fact that it:

• Wasn’t exactly labeled as a high-caf drink.
• Was often next to, or in place of, non-caf drinks.
• Was marketed as part of an unlimited drinks program.

While the company isn’t required to cater to individuals with very specific tolerances of the simulant, they likely had data available to them that suggests that this outcome was always a possibility, yet they supposedly ran the product until people died.

Yeah, but nobody’s drinking 3 30 oz coffees in one sitting. Nor is coffee really marketed as a health drink.

Found this as well:

A 30-ounce, large-size Panera Charged Lemonade has about 390 milligrams of caffeine, about four times the amount found in a cup of coffee.

I made the same switch earlier this year. The only real issues I can recall were learning to update flatpak manually because it holds up the other updates if I don’t do that through the Konsole first.

Granted, that might just be my system, but I generally have had far fewer issues with Tumbleweed than I’ve ever had with Mint.

Oh, and my art tablet gets tagged as a game controller for some reason, but it works for what I need it for so I haven’t bothered to fix it.

I concur. SSBN wouldn’t risk sailing through the canal without shutting the entire canal down just for security reasons.

That’s an SSGN. SSBN, the ones that carry Trident missiles, don’t need, nor want, to be anywhere near the theatre in order to operate.

I’m on OpenSuse Tumbleweed right now.

I got tired of updating version numbers on Mint.

As a side note, just plugged in a years-old random printer/scanner combo my roommate had been trying to find driver’s for, for hours, on his windows machine. It just worked immediately in Linux, didn’t need to download anything. Suck it, printer!

I’ve been into designing boardgames and worldbuilding with the intention of running a Tabletop RPG.

For my current boardgame project, it’s a Roll-n-Write style game where you travel the map in order to collect random critters.

My worldbuilding project, at the moment, consists of a sort of airship & steampunk world with sci-fi undertones.
