  • She likes it, who cares? Enjoy what you want, and let others enjoy what they want. I don’t like tabasco on pizza but I’m not going to get bent out of shape over someone doing that. If you are trying to MAKE something and you want that something to be as authentic as possible then sure, tabasco shouldn’t be put on pizza. But you are eating. Eating is for enjoyment or sustenance . Not rules.




  • I was feeling really bad for the guy thinking he was now homeless, because there would’ve been no way to sell the home prior being in the location it was, until I read the last lines of him living at his second home while he figures out what to do. Oh gee, I don’t know. How about, live in your spare home? For fucks sake “figuring out what to do”. Collect any reimbursement and move on in your extra house as if nothing happened. Rich motherfucker. There are few enough houses available in Hawaii without someone taking up multiple. No wonder Hawaiians are sick of haoli.

    My rants aside though neat links! Thanks for posting them!



  • I mean to really change whether third parties work in the US we need systemic changes and regulations to the voting structure because getting a populist movement stateside is nigh impossible. The only reason to vote for someone that doesn’t represent you halfway is to hopefully prevent the person who doesn’t represent you at all from getting in.



  • It’s less a vote for Trump and more a lack of a vote for the party that can realistically defeat him. I wish 3rd parties were a viable federal election option. But they aren’t yet to a point where they can realistically win in the US.

    So the sentiment that not voting, or voting for a guaranteed loss is a vote for the worse of the two parties with a chance to win isn’t entirely without merit, it’s just poorly phrased. It means that if you fail to vote for the person that can win over the worse candidate, you have given the worse candidate a better opportunity to win.









  • Maturity plays a much more important role than age. Some people are never fit to marry, some have what it takes by the time they are 16/17. It’s not often that it plays out well for the youngest ones, and since each year brings new experiences and understandings each year moves along the bell curve of “marriage readiness”. So is it more likely that a 24 year old is more ready for marriage than a 18 year old. Yes. Is it guaranteed? No. I know some 50/60 year olds that still aren’t ready for marriage. They just never learned the skills it takes to have a healthy marriage. Giving an age as a hard cutoff is too arbitrary a measure. Age doesn’t guarantee shit.



  • I think it really depends on what part of the hobby interests you. If the tinkering and modding hardware aspect appeals to you the Creality ender is good platform to mod. Similar to it are the Voxellab Aquila’s that are built a little better but aren’t as popular. You can often make alterations to them that you would make on an Ender but you have to account for the differences in them. They are also a great way to understand what you do and do not like about the hobby without breaking the bank.

    However if you are more interested in 3d modeling and just printing things out without a ton of hassle, then look at the Bambu Labs offerings or a Prusa Mk4. They are stable workhorses with more premium features and make the process much easier since they have less tinkering to do in between prints and more automation to them. They are more expensive because of this but you definitely get what you pay for with them. They are still modifiable as well if you find you want to make changes to them down the road.
