    No it wasn't. The problem is the breadth and reach of communication. In decades and eras past information was hard to transmit, so it was buffered, digested, curated, and edited (real media), so most of what was out there mattered to a common denominator. Now we have Twitter, so the entire...

    What feature(s) or circumstance would persuade you to install a brain implant?

    I think the concept is cool and if it worked, was known to be safe, and was affordable I'd absolutely do it. However, I'm not optimistic about any of that coming to reality. The barriers around resolution required to do anything sophisticated, the levels of invasiveness, and the body...

    Screenwriting

    I have a friend who wrote and shopped screenplay. His takeway: The world is absolutely saturated with good screenwriters, good screenplays, and good ideas. The reason almost everything finished sucks has to do with risk aversion and bureaucracy in the organizations which have the enormous...

    Anyone have experience with pre-fab or custom sheds to use as a detached office? My wife and I are house shopping, found a place we like that doesn't have enough space for both of us to work from home but the property has a perfect slot for some kind of drop-in outbuilding. Seems like you can...

    Right, and I should have clarified. I'm not suggesting that everyone take EPO or other shit that's going to give you a heart attack. But there are entire classes of currently banned substances that are more or less categorically positive for heath. That includes certain steroids at moderate...

    The practical difference being not much given the hilariously large fraction of athletes who use them, and you gain medical oversight.

    I'd honestly rather that PEDs were legal and administered in a consistent and safe way by official doctors. For what MMA athletes put their body through, PEDs absolutely make the training safer and more sustainable. Plus the matches would be better.

    What are your relaxation/meditation/calming routines & habits?

    You're a psychopath. Fuck sanding. If I get myself worked in a knot I go for a serious HIIT workout, try to be nice enough to my wife to get laid, and go to sleep early. Looking after your body does wonders for your outlook, and I think people are much simpler machines than we flatter ourselves...

    Non-Fungible Tokens, and how they are a non-fungible store of value like land.

    It's clear what you're buying if you're informed. There's no law against selling stupid things. Of course, anyone informed is either not buying or is trying to scam someone who isn't informed.

    Not sure in which dimension you're having problems with the shoulders, but an important joinery hack is to remember that your parts only need to be dead flush at the visible perimeter of the joints. You can undercut the faces of the shoulders by a degree or two to give yourself slack and...

    Maybe it's just my reaction to the lower target audience age, but I feel like the Skyward books are better sales pitches for the inevitable TV series than they are books. Cytonic in particular was just utterly devoid of plot tension.

    3d Printing and the Future of Piracy

    Turned out pretty well for a first try I think. Some very minor sagging at the top of the arches and the 0.1mm writing on the stern is illegible, but the important stuff passes the eye test. I'll measure with calipers against spec later.

    Wow, this is so much "fun"! Printer assembly was straightforward, but initial bed leveling was impossible because the z-axis limit switch was set too high at the factory, which I had to discover and then figure out how to fix, and then I had to improvise my own tube clamp on the filament feeder...
