To ask a question probing at the title... who _is_ it for? Who's doing such well known repetitive tasks that they also need estimation for? Circular black hole imo.

What is someone with vip status? I could be an anti-social weak willed loser respected by nobody, but if I have good health insurance in the US I'm going to get preferential treatment over someone with worse health insurance regardless

I don't think you're really addressing the question with the hospital example nor the others. I could be the senior engineer of Amazing Inc., as well as a jacked high level MMA fighter and gracious altruist - beloved by all known

What repercussions do you imagine for someone you wouldn't think is high status?

That would fall outside the bounds of words on a screen, written indiscriminately.

Yes? That is exactly the commenters concern. Fill a bowl to the brim with water, throw a ball in. It spills over the edges of the bowl by "just displacing" the water.

It wouldn't because it wouldn't be stealthy.

Even worse than letting an enemy know where you are now, is letting them know where you will be in the future.

Considering lead's modulus of elasticity is essentially zero, yes :) You can drill, tap, and generally rely on this material to stay in the shape it was printed at in maaaaaany more situations than lead. Of course the petg in there is

Lead is a nightmare to machine. It's gummy. You'd think aluminum was easy because it's softer than steels, but that comes with it's own challenges. Lead is worse so. You're right that this isn't so bad on a lat

The article explains the beneficial properties of tungsten with rad shielding. Tungsten sheilds better than lead. Lead is easier to form to simple shapes (flats, straight forward wraps). It is essentially impossible to form it in to complex

by theelous3 4y ago
so machine a die, machine your part, build random fixtures, cast lead on to your part... or just print it? It's a bit of a no brainer. Even if you just want a shielding layer, the convenience of this will win out on low volume parts.

by theelous3 4y ago
I didn't say it was hard. I said machining tungsten is hard. Machining lead is also difficult and weird and the end result can be barely usable for anything, especially in hot environments or with any load. It's just not good. If

Sure, if you want to shield a wall or container or something you will just slap lead on it, but this could be used for complex shielding of sensitive components in nuclear machinery and devices. Machining hard materials is extremely expensi

If i believed in socially progressive lib values, but thought a non-explicitly progressive issue was a major immanent threat... you'd consider me conservative for the structure of my priorities? Not following the logic at all here.

I'm curious on what basis are you calling yourself an empath. I've never heard someone say this seriously and I'm trying not to be too judgemental.

There is no way this is a good faith question. As someone delivering their opinion on the internet - surely you can explain why someone would like to deliver their opinion on the internet.
