One of the things that made our prison system make sense as a machine for me was the explicit carve out in the 13th Amendment:

Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Emphasis mine. If you're on the outside looking in, and you don't understand why the US prison/LE system is the way that it is, it's because we never actually abolished slavery. We just gave it justification and some window dressing.

And to be clear, I don't agree with any of it. But it is a thing that bears mentioning in the context of law and justice in the US.

I love my Qidi XMax 3. I've basically only needed to change my z offset a handful of times and it just slams out prints. It's got a slightly larger build volume and runs Klipper out of the box.

Could be an option worth considering if you're looking for a printer that you can set up and run and don't need anything particularly fancy that just kinda goes.

My understanding is that it's primarily for people that want to unplug from the internet, mostly.

I picked up a Fairphone 6, and I quite like it, if you wanted another alternative to consider.

Not to mention that the difference in length for a bullpup handgun is likely negligible, compared to a regular handgun. Contrast that with a rifle, where the action is far away from the shooter's shoulder and could be moved much closer without needing to re-engineer the firing mechanisms much.

I think if you're going to bullpup anything, and it must be a handgun caliber, you're better served by bullpup-ing a PCC rather than a handgun.

If you have a plastic tub roughly the size of a spool, you can flip it over on top of a spool and run your bed heater underneath it. Is it perfect? No. But you can get some of that drying capability for very little in terms of money.

I should feel more shame about getting out of my car to the sound of Alex Jones screaming, but I've long since stopped caring.

My radio has a ground noise reducer in it, which has the effect of keeping my radio powered for about ten seconds after I turn it off. So he's on full blast, if I'm unlucky. If I'm lucky it's Dan and Jordan

Today I had a good, low energy day at work after a long and stressful stretch. What's your bright spot?

I've listened to the entire back catalogue, it's a problem haha
