    Prusa just announced their CoreXY printer, and in true fashion, are offering an upgrade path for Mk4S owners. Temp controlled chamber is a nice feature
  6. https://www.thedailybeast.com/matt-gaetzs-underage-sex-probe-report-released-to-house-ethics-committee/ House Ethics Committee Chair Michael Guest (R-MS) revealed Monday that the formal report on their investigation into Matt Gaetz’s alleged misconduct was made available to all 10 members of the committee. According to Politico, only Guest and fellow ranking member Rep. Susan Wild (D-PA) previously had a copy. On Wednesday, the committee is scheduled to meet to discuss Gaetz’s dossier. Guest’s announcement comes amid bipartisan calls from members of the Senate Judiciary Committee to release the report’s findings after Donald Trump tapped Gaetz as his nominee for Attorney General. Meanwhile, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has pleaded with the committee to keep their findings sealed. The two-year-long ethics probe into Gaetz seemingly ended last week when the former Florida congressman resigned from the House. Since his nomination and resignation, however, a lawyer for the victims of Gaetz’s alleged sexual misconduct has revealed that his clients told the House Ethics Committee that they attended between five and 10 “sex parties” with the former congressman between mid-2017 and the end of 2018. Gaetz has continually denied any wrongdoing.
  7. Well that and Blacklab banned you from the site for continually repeating anti-Ukraine propaganda and derailing in the Ukraine war thread. And you keep making accounts despite that
  8. It's moreso the unknown unknown of the cryptography space. Quantum computing is an emerging field and designed to solve the very NP-hard problem at the core of proof of work. At this point, it not likely to see a successful 51% attack. But it's not impossible or something that you can rule out, because code is law. Nobody writes perfect code, there will always be a flaw found and exploited. Or technology will sufficiently advance to work around the difficulty built into the code. It's been a loooooong time, but even the BTC blockchain has had a couple forks to undo unintended bugs. The larger that monied interest gets, the more impossible those sorts of after the fact adjustments are to coordinate. It's not one of the greatest risks to Bitcoin, so I'm sorry for bringing it up now that you've reduced my entire position to that
  9. What's with all the hatred from a newbie? Jeeze lol, you're salty. But seriously, I've been going back and forth with GRUhorn on this topic for literal years now. Here's a comment of mine from 2022 that covers pretty much everything dahobbs touched on too Happy to return to past conversations if you don't prejudice my position or put words in my mouth.
  10. The incoming person who will be over the FDA doesn't believe in pasteurization or other food safety standards. So, uh, prepare your anus.
  11. Well whadya know, elmo's $200,000,000 investment in trump is already showing returns! https://gizmodo.com/trump-reportedly-wants-to-unleash-driverless-cars-on-america-2000525955 (Bloomberg original reporting, paywalled) FSD - coming to a stopped first responder near you!
  12. At the grocery store, it's surprising how expensive some processed goods are. A 12 pack of Cokes went from $4-5 to $8-9 , for reasons that defy explanation aside from gouging. Fresh food items (outside of the store, not the aisles) have gone up a little, but not nearly as much as packaged processed foods
  13. Boy are you gonna be annoyed when the fascists just change the legal system to suit their needs. Ya know, like the fascists have done literally every other time in history they've taken over
  14. I mean, I was posting even earlier in other threads with the same critiques you claim I'm "just now" coming up with. Even in this thread back in March I was talking about it's energy inefficiency. There's been more substantive technical discussions, but that was probably a dozen socks ago for GRUhorn at this point and not on this sub forum. Sorry that this massively complex topic doesn't have one single thing to critique and distil down for you to read. Please do lurk more, or just post on your main account instead of a sock next time.
  15. Citing this for the near to medium term future. I honestly do hope you're right, but nothing about his economic policy suggests its going to "make eggs cheaper"
  16. yuck on this source, but it's actual reporting on incoming policy https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/3232941/trump-national-emergency-mass-deportation-program/ President-elect Donald Trump confirmed on Truth Social early Monday morning that his incoming administration will declare a national emergency and use military resources to implement a mass deportation of illegal immigrants. The confirmation was made in response to an earlier post by Tom Fitton, journalist and president of Judicial Watch. “GOOD NEWS: Reports are the incoming @RealDonaldTrump administration prepared to declare a national emergency and will use military assets to reverse the Biden invasion through a mass deportation program,” Fitton posted. “TRUE!!” Trump responded, quoting Fitton’s post.
  17. Winston Churchill once famously noted (in a very similar military situation, I might add) that "Americans will always do the right thing, only after they have tried everything else"
  18. [Laughs in oligarchy] Yeah, why else was he spending so much time and energy backing trump and changing the Twitter algo to be more favorable to trump and the right?
  19. What do you mean "new" argument? Inefficiency has been a pretty core critique of proof of work cryptos for a long time. They're designed to use geometrically more power over time. It's the mechanism that keeps Bitcoin scarce.
  20. It's super unfortunate how large bitcoins energy and carbon footprint is, considering how constrained and abused those resources already are. Bitcoin and gold aren't at all the same, because one is a physical object with genuine utility and can be held and the other is a float value stored on a distributed ledger that takes more than 100 Terrawatt-hours (right now) to run. There's going to be a point where global energy and water demands won't be able to support Bitcoin growth and society.
  21. Unless you've packed the judiciary with sympathetic judges who don't give a shit about facts or evidence or precedent
  22. Can't reuse a .22LR
  23. We've got top men on it. An individual with literal brain worms who thinks that the last respiratory disease was engineered to not targets Jews and Chinese people
