That made me laugh ;)

(Joke's on Reddit, though, because Reddit content became pretty worthless since they did this, and everything before they did this was already publicly archived)


Since you wrote

> [...] is a significant limiting factor for the structural integrity of 3d printed parts

I went and checked. There is a youtube called MyTechFun[0] who does proper material testing, and being a patreon I have access to the entire table of his results. The comparison I made is tensile strength vs layer adhesion, which is the same test (basically pull until it breaks), but the sample is printed lying down or standing up. I expressed layer adhesion as a percentage of tensile strength, and sorted by this.

The best three I will show here (tensile and adhesion are in kg):

  Name, Tensile, Adhesion, Percentage
  YXPolyer Nylon[1], 63.1, 66.4, 105
  PolyMaker PLA Pro[2], 56.55, 50.6, 89
  PolyMaker CoPA[3], 66.3, 56.6, 85
While the tensile strength is higher for all (except one), it does not seem to be quite as limiting a factor as your claim makes it out to be. We can find percentages of >70% for all major filament types. But to be fair, most of them seem to cluster around 40-50%. While this is not great, given the choice of materials I think it can be worked around quite easily.

It saddens me to hear that, Paul made a lot of very interesting content if you are interested in guns, ammo and everything around it. It was also very much devoid of any politics or religion, which I deeply appreciated. This video is very much in character for him, it was so enjoyable to watch yet also filled me with more sadness than I would have expected.

His style is not for everyone, but if the topics he covers are of interest to you I very much suggest giving his channel a try, I know I learned many things from him & the team.


I just wanted to post that I can't find anything about it being forbidden, but there is actually a link in the post[1]. So basically the situation is:

Mit einer Funkanlage dürfen nur solche Nachrichten abgehört oder in vergleichbarer Weise zur Kenntnis genommen werden, die für den Betreiber der Funkanlage, für Funkamateure im Sinne des § 2 Nummer 1 des Amateurfunkgesetzes, für die Allgemeinheit oder für einen unbestimmten Personenkreis bestimmt sind.

Which in English would read something like this:

With radio equipment you are only allowed to listen to, or take note of in some other way, those messages that are addressed to the operator of the equipment, those messages that are addressed to ham radio operators in general, those messages that are addressed to the general public or for an undefined group of people.

This is of course absolutely unenforceable, untraceable and generally ridicoulus, but it is what it is. Imagine your neighbours having very loud arguments (or very loud 'horizontal discussions') in a clairaudient flat, and then telling you that you cannot listen to it. And being correct legally ;)

German regulations looks like ahead of technology. - You could affect quantum communications by listen them.

Also I remember, we in Kyiv have interest place - in zone around broadcast tower, signals once was so strong, people made simple spirals with light bulb and wire, around cup, and drink "tea with flame". To be honest, when lot of such devices used close enough to radio station, it could significantly drain power from radio station, so apparently this was prohibited, but I still don't think it is enough to prohibit listening in whole country.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyiv_TV_Tower


Using the electric field was indeed possible when megawatt TV stations were still a thing. You could light a tiny bulb or ccfl tube with it. Though at those frequencies you'd need a seriously long loop to heat water. I've been told farmers next to the TV tower would do it with their perimeter fence.

But these days with DVB the big several megawatt VHF towers covering a whole region have been replaced with smaller base stations running only 10-20kW and usually covering the local city area only.


> when megawatt TV stations were still a thing

In my country it was just few years ago with this tower.

I don't know sum of power of all transmitters (looks like it was secret information), but I knew few engineers, worked at radio stations and TV channels, who have their equipment installed there, and they talked about tens Kilowatts each one.

So, I think, when analog TV used, total transmission power exceed megawatt, now, yes, they use DVB, and I hear moderate numbers, about 20kW on each base station.

Must say, digital changed world, it give much clearer reception, but lost magic.


But maritime and air traffic is not personal, it's factual professional traffic. You're invading no one's privacy by listening to it, and if you're allowed to monitor ADS-B and AIS why not the voice version which conveys similar information?

And even messages to other traffic isn't officially allowed? That doesn't make sense. In fact pilots are always encouraged to monitor all radio traffic even the messages not meant for them as it builds a valuable picture of the traffic around them and its intentions. This saves lives on a regular basis.

Besides it being unenforceable it also would seem a bad idea to discourage it.

You all may appreciate (a short browse away from TFA): Antragsformular für den Passierschein A38

Have you just mounted them, or mounted them and used the camera while riding the bike? The iPhone has sensor-shift image stabilization (what camera manufacturers are calling IBIS - In Body Image Stabilization) and if this is engaged (for example while filming) it would be much more prone to damage than if you are using the phone for, say, directions only with the system parked in transport mode.

At least this would be my assumption, I don't know where this problem comes from exactly.


I’ve never used the camera while riding, though I can see that your assumption might be right


That is a massive oversimplification. There are a huge number of variables that have a very noticeable impact on the coffee. Pressure (over time), temperature (over time), flow rate, composition of the water, puck resistance (and change over time), many ways to change how the water extracts from the puck, pre-infusion time (and temp. and pressure...). This is just the machine side, ignoring beans, grinding, distribution and tamping.

And the effect of a single one of those variables can be the difference between a god shot and something that tastes rather off. I am not saying you need a machine that allows you to control all of this to get good shots, but the effect on the result is still there. Something like a Decent DE1 can actually control a lot of this, a lever machine actually allows a lot of control as well. 100$ pump machine to an expensive espresso machine is a huge difference in many regards. Consistency being probably the biggest one.

So no, I do not thing your assessment on complexity of espresso making is an accurate representation. I concede however, that if you know what you are doing, good espresso can be had on cheap-ish machines, it's just much harder and less consistent.


From the page you linked:

>Why Isn't Titan Classed?

[...]

>Classing assures ship owners, insurers, and regulators that vessels are designed, constructed and inspected to accepted standards. Classing may be effective at filtering out unsatisfactory designers and builders, but the established standards do little to weed out subpar vessel operators – because classing agencies only focus on validating the physical vessel.

[...]

> The vast majority of marine (and aviation) accidents are a result of operator error, not mechanical failure.

Did they not consider that the reason for this fact is, oh I don't know, maybe because the vessels have passed the checks for mechanical integrity?

You can't make this stuff up...


actually, since there is a short delay between article loading and the nag screen, you can even click "reader mode" just after (re-)loading the page and get it to work

not as elegant as your solution, sure, but it works in a pinch (also probably easier to do on mobile)


All the time on mobile I'm reloading and trying to hit reader at the right time.


Would you mind expanding a bit on your experiences with running linux on mac hardware? Especially the M1, what is your daily experience like? Any pain points or gotchas?

Reason for my question is that I used to run linux on the mac as well (10 years ago), and I love the hardware. I don't think there is anything that even comes close hardware-wise. But currently I am on mac os, well, because it works basically ;) But I would be curious to know if switching over again would make sense now, without too much hassle.


Of course - I have a blog post detailing that here: https://jasoneckert.github.io/myblog/ultimate-linux-arm64-wo...


Thanks, that was a very nice read, and also great news. Maybe I will give it a try this year.


Damn, the Asahi team has done God's work
