  • White House Defends Trump After Ritchson Slams Him Over Epstein Files

  • He's pretty Thad-like from the interviews I've seen. Not in how he treats people or his views. But more how he speaks and his mannerisms. When he gets excited his voice pitches up and you can really hear Thad coming through.

  • White House Rushes to Trump's Defense After Alan Ritchson Torches President Over Epstein Files - The Reacher star called Trump a “bitch” and a “fucking rapist" in a recent podcast appearance

  • Alan Ritchson is pretty great. He's super funny and from everything I've seen an actual good person. His action movies and shows are good too, he's one of the "do your own stunts" types and he seems to put forward a lot of effort in his roles.

  • Jimothy, might try again

  • Is jimothy actually real? I keep seeing the videos but I've been assuming they're ai.

  • Why shouldn't I be afraid of death?

  • Why worry, it's going to happen one way or another, and once it does it won't be your problem anymore.

  • If you can't drive a manual transmission, you can't "drive"- you can only suggest/"point" a car.

  • Its actually not that unpopular of an opinion in car communities, it's just a really stupid one held by stupid people.

  • If you can't drive a manual transmission, you can't "drive"- you can only suggest/"point" a car.

  • I'm about as big a car enthusiast as a person can be. I've built everything, rock crawlers, drag cars, drift cars, and road race cars. I've had lowriders and lifted trucks. I've owned automatics, 4, 5, and 6 speed manuals, 3-speed column shift manuals, cvts, an electric car, and a push button shifted Chrysler imperial. I've driven cars, heavy machinery, boats, planes, and even a hovercraft one time.

    While I love my manual cars, to say a person can't drive until they learn to operate a manual is one of the dumbest opinions I've ever heard.

  • When Margret Thatcher died people were singing "Ding dong the witch is dead". What song do you think people will be singing when Donald Trump dies?

  • Celebration by kool and the gang.

  • He's so terrified of getting taxed

  • Idk how ultra-wealthy people like this shitass don't understand that being taxed is the best outcome they can hope for. The alternative is people will eventually get desperate enough that they'll drag the rich cunts out of their houses and beat them to death in the streets.

  • Are you ready for what it takes to stop ghost guns? New laws in California and New York might stop anyone from 3D printing guns — and create entirely new kinds of surveillance.

  • Ok, so you do at least know the machinery. My point was that it wasn't as simple as someone just loading a workflow onto a mill and pressing go. Workholding, zeroing, probing, tool offsets, and all the little setup stuff. Takes someone with experience to get going. Most times, the first time running, a program doesn't work, or at least doesn't work correctly. It is totally possible to setup a machine with a bar feeder and a robot to make finished parts all day long. Getting it to do it correctly and accurately is the trick.

  • I'm not trying to be a dick, I just want to know if I'm talking to a layman or a professional.

  • Are you ready for what it takes to stop ghost guns? New laws in California and New York might stop anyone from 3D printing guns — and create entirely new kinds of surveillance.

  • They're using agentic ai to autonomously program, physically setup and gauge, and then run parts? Where are they doing this and who are "people"?

  • What's you background? Do you work with or operate machinery?

  • Are you ready for what it takes to stop ghost guns? New laws in California and New York might stop anyone from 3D printing guns — and create entirely new kinds of surveillance.

  • Once the machine is set up yes, they can absolutely do that. That's how they're manufactured for the most part.

    But the idea that any untrained, inexperienced person has the ability to physically setup, make jigs, indicate in said jigs, make a cad file, turn it into a cam program, load it into a machine, indicate in the stock, select the correct tooling and set it up, etc, etc, etc... It's a magnitude more difficult than 3d printing, and the machines that do that kind of fully automated work costs in the millions.

  • Are you ready for what it takes to stop ghost guns? New laws in California and New York might stop anyone from 3D printing guns — and create entirely new kinds of surveillance.

  • Yes it is 100% legal, I've done it myself. And there are actually single shot pistols you can download and print.

    I'm not in anyway in favor of the legislation, just pointing out that machining a functioning anything isn't as easy as you said.

  • Are you ready for what it takes to stop ghost guns? New laws in California and New York might stop anyone from 3D printing guns — and create entirely new kinds of surveillance.

  • You absolutely need to know how to use any machine tool. You can't just download a file to a CNC mill and have it spit out a gun. I worked as a machinist when I was in college, it takes a lot of skill and talent to setup a CNC to make parts.

  • Wildfire near Hoh River in Olympic National Park still burning after rain

  • I hope it can be contained soon, Hoh Rainforest is my favorite national park. Its like walking into another world there. Also due to some airspace restrictions its home to the quietest natural place in North America. https://onesquareinch.org/

  • Supreme Court agrees to hear challenge to assault weapon bans

  • Guess the game (#004) [solved - see comments]

  • Loved this game, the gameplay was OK, but the sound track and cameos were the absolute best.

  • A Plastic Motor Just Defied a Century of Engineering Assumptions

  • All these comments feel very nitpicky. Its a one of a kind, experimental motor. Built to test the properties of a new and a not well understood phenomenon. The fact that the motor moves at all is pretty amazing. We don't know what the technology could grow into in the future, we don't know what the applications could be. Simply because we don't actually know what all this sort of device is capable of with further study and refinement. The tungsten filament lightbuld generated far more heat than light for over a hundred years before we managed to come up with the led, which in its infancy also barely produced light.
