The people in these camps are not ISIS.

Please elaborate.

We should pick our battles. Do you want to get nuked for Ukraine of all places?

Regardless of this, I do not think we should escalate things with a nuclear power.

Regulating AI like this is very cool and good.

Just curious, have you gotten yours yet? How do you like it? Considering buying the AMS Lite for mine this weekend. Also started using Orcaslicer to help me calibrate filaments - it’s another slicer built on a BambuStudio base but with more features including a bunch of built in calibration tools.

That’s my thought process as well. Assuming nothing happens that causes me to dislike this, I’ll buy the big fancy one later and then give this to a friend’s kid or something.

Do you want a 3d printer as a hobby, or as an appliance? I started with an Ender 3, tinkered with it until it became an entirely different printer and then broke. Did the same with a Ender 3 S1 Pro. I’ve learned how to fix just about every part by spending hours tinkering with it. I hear Prusa printers are similar but also just a little better in most respects.

I recently got a Bambu A1 Mini. After spending a few minutes setting it up, it ran all its calibrations automatically and connected to my wifi. Then I pulled up a model I liked and hit print from my phone, and it just worked. I’m pretty tired of constantly calibrating and leveling my old printers, so it’s nice to have something that does its job without me babying it.

I’ll probably upgrade to an X1C early next year, unless there is some new hotness by then.

Downside: firmware isn’t open source like on the Ender.

I love a customized Ender. You just keep adding bits and bobs and mods that you don’t particularly need and might not even help until you have a Ship of Theseus situation where only the frame remains. Mine looked like Lain’s computer nest before it finally died in a way I couldn’t fix.

What of the people who lived in Crimea prior to 2014? No peace for them? I thought these were supposed to be Ukrainians living under occupation, why is their own country threatening them?

Most figs you get in the store are not pollinated by fig wasps.

I thought Crimes was supposed to be Ukrainian. Why is Ukraine using cluster munitions on their own civilians???

This is the only thing I know about Jiang Zemin and I think I might be okay with that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kGPJzusNPA

Which governments aren’t authoritarian then?

Supplied arms to support genocide in Indonesia, among other crimes. Him building homes now is just some light penance before he’s shipped off to hell. https://fair.org/media-beat-column/jimmy-carter-and-human-rights-behind-the-media-myth/

Do you think it is realistic that Russia will unilaterally pull out? The war will end when Russia leaves, but Russia isn’t going to leave until they are pushed out, negotiations are had, or Ukraine is destroyed. The first possibility is becoming increasingly more unlikely, and the last is something that nobody should want

That leaves negotiations. I think Ukraine should come to the table while they still have some leverage, which is decreasing every week that they throw their men into the meat grinder without meaningful gains.

Zs aren’t an old Nazi symbol. The balkenkreuz is.
