Ghislaine Maxwell will come forth in a couple of days with a list of several hundreds of people who are on the list. She will be pardoned and released. Notably, the list will contain mostly opponents of Trump (A couple of names will be on there multiple times, we all know who). Trump will be nowhere on the list, neither will any of his close contacts. After that we will be told that that's all there is to it.

I can not understand why there is not an enormous backlash from companies about this. All their employees have all the sensitive information on Microsoft servers. But watch out if you bring a USB stick to work...

But that can not be. I have been assured, just a few weeks ago, that none of this is true. Canadians are still using as much American produce as before, even more so. Canadians are even buying more houses then before. Canadians are begging to become part of the US. Trump supporters have been really adamant about that.

.... Fuck that guy

I would think that the entire idea of a disposable item would be that you can get rid of it after use. In case of something that is 3d printed, you just need a small container of acetone to put it in. After a bit you are just left with some goop.

On top of that, nozzles that are actually used (especially the cheap ones) wear down and never would keep the same marks.

These 3d printed items have been known and used for decades already (Bruce Willis even used one in one of his movies, back in the day). There is no sure way to trace them any more. Somebody could use a file from 15years ago, before all this was big news.

This is the difference between "I want my team to win" or "I want the good guys to win".

I personally live linix, and I am trying switching over in the house in such a way that the rest of the household can use it with as little issues as possible. That being said, I need to ask for some help with a couple of programs that are vital for us but that I am having a hard time to replace. If anybody has any suggestion for the following I would really be grateful. -fusion 360 -lychee slicer (i can install it but unable to make holes in hollowed out forms) -copy to usb for big files without the system crashing (copy stops)

  • printer keeps disappearing after some time.
  • label printer setup

Throw it on the pile

Also interested in how you can do this.

Arent the tariffs in the end a sort of tax on the American companies that buy the products? So isn't this 'extra income' just Americans paying more in the end?

Sure, and if we’re dragging out historical wins to score points, we can sit here all day trading inventions like baseball cards.

Automobiles? Germany. Jet engines and the WWW? UK. Radio? Italy (and yes, Tesla gets a nod too). Satellites and the first man in space? Soviet Union. Solid-state theory that made electronics possible? Mostly European physics.

China gave us the compass, paper, and gunpowder. India gave us the number zero and early surgery. Japan revolutionized consumer electronics and manufacturing efficiency. France had photography and hot air balloons before the Wright brothers ever left the ground.

Point is: past contributions are global. No one country owns progress. So unless you’re planning to live off 1950s prestige, maybe let's not pretend history is a scoreboard that settles today’s reality.
