Probably a fixed multiplier. There's a tremendous amount missing from this study, and I wouldn't take any of its conclusions at face value.

The younger children have lower IQs because mom runs out of resources to make people as time goes on. This is a well-known and easily solvable phenomenon. Edit: I am the oldest of 11, and would not trade the experience for anything. It&#x27

FOSSCAD is different because we're generally printing parts that function near the end of the filament's capabilities. When I'm printing a lower receiver, I need perfect temperature consistency, because uneven cooling will in

Anecdotally, housing quality has gone way down, but that's probably due to quality of labor.

I came up with a rough idea for a policy. I'd say it's more like I'm describing Facebook as a timeline-based social media website where you can connect with your friends. Low detail, high accuracy.

I think you're right, and I think I'm right. The correct approach would be to punish rampant speculation backed by my 401k, and reward building and private ownership.

> Newer housing is quite often much nicer than older housing I would disagree very strongly. Stronger building codes and rising material costs have made everything look very samey. I really wish people would/could build more houses

Landlords generally own a couple properties, and have competition. If you control a significant percentage of the market, you can really really abuse that.

Zoning should be used to keep factories out of neighborhoods, nothing more. Also, building code is making houses boring. Should be a third-party standard, like UL.

I'm not saying anything about Blackrock (although they are most likely evil). I'm simply saying that we should ban private equity firms owning residential properties, period. If it's not a problem, why should Blackrock care?

To drive down the price of homes, because owning is better than renting. Rentals will still exist, I promise.

Georgism is nice and all, but it would have to not apply to individuals and small farms. People are already being taxed out of their land.

We need to ban private equity home ownership.

I couldn't be happier. I am the in-house expert in my field, I replaced an agency that was far more expensive and incompetent, and I have great hours (9-4:30!) and benefits. Oh, and I'm fully remote in an org that's been remo

This is all true, but FOSSCAD world is a little different, and a good hotend makes much more difference than ABL. Microswiss is the minimum. I need perfect extrusion, not perfect alignment along a non-critical axis. For the hobbyist, you ar

I was raised by the focused type of programmer, and modern startup culture is horrifying to me (and him). I have left that world and now am solo engineer in a non-profit where I'm responsible for a list of results, not a pile of Jira t

I hate what Apple has become, but they make the best laptops, so I buy them.

I print working firearms and firearm parts. I follow the bed levelling method detailed in GP, and I have never had a gun failure due to lack of precision, which is critical in firearms. I also do this with Nylon and TPU, zero issues. Sure,

When you get married, you are commiting to demonstrating that will to the best of your ability.

Your defensiveness is to my point. Marriage is difficult. The idea of leaving for a series of inconveniences is a hedonistic ideal. There are cases where divorce is inevitable, but it's gotten absolutely ridiculous.

Divorce is an excuse for hedonism.

1. That's pretty much all trucks. I'm going off what the sheriff told me. 2. Yeah, you need address, name, and ownership on a piece of paper. 3. Nashville property taxes are brutal. I'm also in an unincorporated town, but tax

I hate mindless sheep, and if you disagree with me strongly and can defend your position from first principles, we can probably be good friends.

Yes, but I'm happy to help provide critical mass.

Doesn't bother me at all. I'm ok with losing a text or two to help bring regulatory pressure against Apple to un-wall the garden so I can use it again.

It's probably some deep DNA-induced craving. In the summer I barely want to drink. When it's cold... I want to drink. Maybe it's the Slavic chunk of my DNA.

This is not true. The criminals police deal with are not smart. There are very, very smart criminals, and they tend to gravitate towards specialties that will not get them caught, like Congress. > Cops are not warriors in danger of a gue
