    3d Printing and the Future of Piracy

    Good question, I have a side machine which is a retired gaming rig. Has 64G ram, I9, and an older 1080 GPU in it. Hopefully that can push it. I want to take a run at feeding it images and having it cook up an action figure.

    I've done a number plaque too, did one for my grandmother's house. Yeah, I'm in Texas so it's the same heat scenario. I recently rebuild my "smelting area" behind the garage and put in a shade awning/tarp thing. I thought I had worked through the details on the maul, but I'm starting to...

    OK. Starting my next set of prints. This will be to print a form to then sand cast in metal. (First test run will be aluminum, and then if that works brass) Who doesn't want to make their own maul? I'll print two of these (they can connect via peg holes on the bottom). Then probably a day...

    I'll admit a good while back I shifted my ETH to wBTC on the ETH chain to turn it into essentially a BTC price tracker and have been quite happy with the results. Somewhere there's a chart showing what the value of ETH was each time BTC hit $100k. And every time BTC hits 100k after pulling...

    Yeah, Coinbase is shamelessly try to squeeze their users for profits at this point. There are other "crypto cards" but most all of them are at the very best break even when you look at fees and whatnot. If you want to slowly accumulate crypto over time just set up a scheduled buy once a month.
