I don't even know the Neil Gaimen issue itself, but there is a reason we have the phrase "witch trials". From what I'm hearing, yes, it sounds like separate independently verifiable incidents and the likelihood is true. But to act like there has never been a case of false accusations against people in the past is being disingenuous yourself. Furthmore, you're resorting to slinging insults and hyperbole more than you are facts and information.
In short: you're both looking like clowns right now - could you knock it off? You're not making either side look better.
The moment you start thinking about prison in terms of punishment and who deserves worse, you've missed the mark. Rehabilitation should be the purpose. There's a reason other countries have much lower recidivism rates and some of their prisons are like resorts. The point is to nourish the mind, soul, and body to make a BETTER person - not to continue the beatings until morale improves.
I can PRINT most the parts. My X1C came with spare part models already downloaded to memory. My A1 contains a bunch of self printed modifications that I found online.
You don't know what you're talking about, you're just fear mongering.
I have an A1 and a X1C. Got them because I was tired of my printer being the project and not the actual prints. I was inspired by the guy building life sized Trex models. He highly recommended them. I have about 600 hours on my A1 and about 150 on my X1C. Only time I have issues is when the model is poorly made/badly sliced(so basically user error).
They are basically "set it and forget it". Setting them up is basically connecting 3-4 cables and 4 screws - incredibly easy.
I could not recomment them enough. I print almost daily now while with my ender I spent more time trying to fix z offsets and other junk.
The A1 and the X1C came with lots of extra parts in my experience. Hotend, screws, nozzle wiping pads..... And a variety of parts I've just printed with the printer itself.
Yeah, you can definitely tell the show was filtered through the lense of "what will the average person understand". I just appreciated the focus on actually building something vs just seeing the business side of it.
It's definitely satire, but I feel Silicon Valley did a decent job. Yes they absolutely made things up, but it was more about the backend and pushing updates and servers being erased because someone accidentally sat a drink on a keyboard.
I agree with this. The tie looks too business/professional. The bowtie has a certain charm. But it needs to be like "neon bus seat" design. You know the one I'm talking about. Or like water cups from the 90s.
Hell, we purposely flooded a ton of abandoned/semi-adandonned towns building the dams out East. They made the movie Deliverance entirely about visiting the area before it got flooded. Of course we'd let nature do it too.
This. CD/DVD players/burner drives are cheap and readily available for PCs still. Hell, you can find external floppy drives still.
Though, admittedly, the lack of software on BluRays might hurt that since the need won't be as strong. But I wouldn't expect drives to completely disappear for awhile.
This. If you really know the tugboat, you know almost every detail is a test of some sort. Many people don't even know that 2 fit together perfectly(flip one upside down and rotate 180° - the smoke stacks fit into the box behind the cabin and they interlock)
I think a difference between us is you block instances. I agree with the idea, but I'm hesitant to block whole instances for fear of weeding out some actually good people. I will block communities that I have zero interest in tho.
Exactly this. Lemmy isnt that great if you're not into few specific topics. My ban/blacklist is HUGE. It took a ton of work to make it so every other post isn't anime porn/fantasy fulfillment and suggestions to switch to Linux. If I'm being honest I still browse reddit in an app because otherwise I've run out of things to see on Lemmy in about 20 minutes each day.
