  • 330w is quite a lot for a projector, i assume thats a high pressure mercury lamp one?

    I recently switched to a laser one and the picture is still as bright but the power consumption is down by over 50%.

    Also after 2 times geting my face blasted by mercury vapors when the lamp exploded in the old one…i aint risking losing even more brain cells…there is a good reason the stopped selling those in the eu now






  • Sooner or later building a nuke in your backyard is going to be just as easy.

    No. Even if you would get your hands of enough base material (impossible and would also be bigger than your backyard in volume). The energy you need for sorting the isotopes would be more than you could pull out of your power wires.

    This isnt a question about technology but physics and energy, no matter how good consumer tech gets. NO you wont build a nuke in your backyard.

    The same way as you will never build a moon rocket in your backyard, some things just require a fixed amount of energy, and putting that amount of energy in your backyard just wont happen.


  • Yeah ok it was a bit reductive, ima bit defensive about 0AD cuz i loved AoE but i hate Microsoft, and 0AD is the only existing replacement.

    It gets better over time. I love that there is the option to play with infinite amount of units (if ur pc can handle it), i played matches with 3000 vs 3000 units and it was very fun. I love the custom map editor. There is also a few “fun” modes like wolfmap, its a map in the arctic without any wood (u get some start resources) and every few minutes there are a bunch of wolves spawning, and if u set the map size to huge…its not just a few wolves after some play time it becomes a zombie wolf game where you have to defend yourself against thousands of wolfs while somehow trying to get some fenced off trade up for resources. That mode is very fun and i seen many games where players dont even get to fight each other because they spend the whole game fighting wolfe attack waves.


  • “When you subscribe to StopICE, the system asks only the area where you want alerts and the phone number to which to send them. You don’t have to provide any other identifying information.”

    BRUH.

    So not only is he compiling a dataset of telephone numbers, he also sending out sms to those people, its fucking trivial giving the timing pattern that this causes to unmask his userbase to the goverment. An lets be real here, once they have the number it dosent matter if its a burner, if its on (and it has to be for you to get those alerts) you are creating movement patterns that will make it in turn trivial to gov to see who owns that number.










  • I have been printing ABS on my balcony at -8C for a few years now.

    I use a Monoprice Mini Delta and upgraded the heatbed (i removed it from the internal power supply and connected it to a old PC power supply, heats up to about 100C).

    The whole system is haused in a isolation foam box for pizza delivery…added a little plastic windo to see whats going on inside.

    At very cold temps the setup needs 10-15 min to preheat the chamber but then it prints just fine.

    The ABS filament roll is outside of the chamber and it dosent cause problems.
