Wow. Can you imagine what would happen if an American car company's fully automated driving were responsible for the death of three teenagers in a fiery crash in Nevada?

I can only assume there'd be a full recall, the CEO would go on TV to apologize and resign.

But not everyone can be a beacon of freedom.

I did print myself a herome mount and everything awhile back. Added dual fans and whatnot, I was having a terrible time with petg surface quality, the dual fans helped a lot. I also had to reassemble my hotend to reprint something I messed up lol.

I'm at the point now where I've replaced so much on my ender that it doesn't really look like the machine I bought, except that it's still i3.

I'll check out the orbiter, thanks!

The lack of banding and wobble is excellent, especially compared to where you came from. You've got me thinking about a new extruder. I've got some no name aluminum extruder setup right now, but I've put enough abrasive filament through that it's made all my filament paths oblong.

Nice work!

It's like when you look at a piece of wood on your deck and you think: "do I need to replace that whole plank, or is it just fine?" So you stick a knife in to see how solid the wood is, does the knife immediately stop or does it plunge right through.

So we shall see just how rotten things are.

Good thing it's terrible and will eat the resources of any business foolish enough to attempt to actually replace workers with it.

As an addendum to 4 - state level power is also required to protect aspiring communist societies (socialists) from antagonistic forces with state level resources. If your state is not strong enough, you will be undermined into destruction by external forces, colonial powers that will use this "failure" as both propaganda and a method of appropriating your resources to further colonial projects.

Also, as someone who lives in and was raised in the heart of empire, the amount of propaganda that we have ingested is unfathomable.

It is good practice when you find yourself asking about any topic that may be deemed antithetical to a settler colonial project to thoroughly examine the sources of the information you're basing your opinion on, and perhaps consider that while you may be a very intelligent and thoughtful individual, expertly crafted and ubiquitous propaganda can shape your opinion as well.

That seems like far too little rain to do much farming without totally draining local aquifers.

Rewild it with native flora, do yurts and whatever to attract people to live in a sustainable way with community gardening. Activities can initially revolve around returning the land to a more natural state. As things mature people will invest in the community themselves, creating their own activities etc.

This guy's a giant piece of shit. I can't believe he's even in government. You'd have to be a real asshole to give this guy a government job where he's actually running things and able to affect people's lives.

Yeah... The spectrum of options arrayed before us appear to be heavily weighted towards enforcing arbitrary hierarchies which is... Not ideal.

"hey ho we love Joe!"

"Stop! Being! Mean! To! Us!"

"Our donors are mad!"

I think whether we like it or not economic systems have forced their way into our political systems.

And anyone with any existing power is strongly incentivized to kill any "new ideas" in the womb. As they would most likely represent a departure from the current system that they benefit from.

Any dramatic restructuring is going to be a very "significant" event. We may currently be on the precipice of one such event in the United States, this remains to be seen. The existing power structures have been significantly destabilized and pre-existing norms and rules are being outright ignored.

Power will shift, it remains to be seen how much and to where.

In any case, we may have the opportunity for you to see some new interesting governmental concepts, or perhaps a return to some classics, or a mix of the two (a little overtly capitalist fuedalism perhaps?).

We sure do live in interesting times.
