Progenitor of the Weird Knife Wednesday feature column. Is “column” the right word? Anyway, apparently I also coined the Very Specific Object nomenclature now sporadically used in the 3D printing community. Yeah, that was me. This must be how Cory Doctorow feels all the time these days.
Postscript:
I’m not entirely sure how to feel about this. Is it a “we did it, lemmy” moment, or should be so alarmed that info about this “brand” so scant that this is the best possible case scenario despite its absurdity?
If you just search for “HUAAO” on Google, now five of the first results within the images are from this very post.
Only two of them are from the other place. Get fucked, Spez.
aligning the racists and capital with the previously-apolitical evangelicals, which delivered a ‘winning coalition’ to a previously-struggling Republican Party
This was Nixon, and the “Southern Strategy.”. This moment marked the final demographic realignment of the Republican party and is probably Nixon’s true legacy since we’re still stuck with it to this very day. To be a little more nuanced, I suppose, the Southern Strategy probably ultimately originated with Barry Goldwater’s campaign. But Goldwater never actually made it to the presidency – to put it mildly. (Goldwater was positively obliterated by Lyndon Johnson in the 1964 election.)
But Nixon did.
With that doofy long bullet nose on the end of the cap, it definitely looks like a Parker I/M. The current variants have a shorter nose, but the ones circa 2009 had exactly that type of cap.
This pen was/is also available in a rollerball variant.
Projection, projection, projection.
Anyway, right back at ya, chief.
Sure, but they’ll have to fight me and I’m the one holding the sword.
That, and marketing these as flying “cars” is always nonsensical to begin with. Such a thing is not and never will be for general public use. People already can’t drive safely in two dimensions, so anyone expects motherfuckers to be able to operate in three? Forget it.
He can order it all he wants, but that doesn’t mean any branch of the military has to actually carry out an obviously illegal order. All it means is that he theoretically “can’t” get prosecuted for trying.
Why is this on my feed AGAIN???
Welcome to the wide, wonderful, and potentially very fragmented world of the Fediverse.
I’m also going to drop this link here…

Yes. I am proud (?) to say that in my US state I could legally carry a full size functional Master Sword, or any other sword, on my belt or strapped to my back provided I didn’t brandish it at anyone without due cause.
It would technically be illegal to conceal without a permit, though, which raises some interesting logistical questions.
Too late to stop me from rabbiting on about it for so long, though!
For Trump specifically it may be appropriate, though. The yoke of Trump’s oppression would almost certainly involve mayonnaise in it somewhere.
We could build an ark for them, maybe. Two arks. There could be an “A” ark, and then a “B” ark…
You tend not to find 26 lane highways out in the middle of the bush?
And DC. They even have it on their license plates.
The stock one is the quietest. To my knowledge, all aftermarket “silencers” (we’ll use the term very loosely) are louder than stock. Some of them significantly so. In fact, I don’t know of any motorcycle where the factory exhaust is not the quietest option.
The stock KLR muffler is very heavy, though, which annoys some people to an unreasonable degree.
If you want an identical texture from the plate on both sides, you could split your model in two laterally and print both finished faces downwards against the plate, and then glue/screw/pin/otherwise attach the two halves together afterwards.
Doing this with an inlay for the two colors would be possible, i.e. with a filament change on the same layer. If your colored bit is a separate layer on top of the other stuff that plan won’t be possible.
The author has, not unexpectedly, failed to make a crucial connection between these two points.
I can, and regularly do, skive off into the woods in such remote and otherwise inaccessible locations that I will see no one throughout my entire camping experience. This is possible in US. Despite our rigid NIMBY and private property philosophy, there are still available swathes of acreage where you can – gasp, horror – still legally wild camp completely away and isolated from any form of utilities whatsoever be they charging outlets, plumbing, or anything else. (In US National Forests, this is called “dispersed camping.” State lands may have different terminology and state-by-state regulations are less consistent.)
These are needless to say the best places left to go, because they’re the only ones not clogged with idiots in lifted Jeeps, yuppies with shrieking children in tow, teenagers blasting hip-hop out of Bluetooth speakers and smashing beer bottles on every available rock and stump, and overweight octogenarians loudly and perpetually complaining. Only dedicated backpackers and outdoors people will make it out there, and they don’t make a ruckus.
