Put a comments field anywhere and you will attract the loonies.

One of my popular
#printables items has only positive comments and many build photos, all showing it printing/printed perfectly. Much praise about its usefulness for years.

Then a new comment 'you can't print this without supports. Such a simple thing shouldn't need them.'

Dude, neither I nor anyone else in all these pictures needed supports. Simply look at the pictures. lol

… and OMG use supports if you're unable to do what everyone else does. It'll cost pennies in materials.

And if it's so simple, just make one yourself - what value is there in just being a comment troll?

Saw details going around, and I wasn't sure if it was a joke.

It appears to be real though–for Americans looking to leave their situation there is a treaty with the Netherlands to help them move there and foster entrepreneurship.

The most surprising part of it is that it is called DAFT (Dutch American Friendship Treaty).
🀣🀣

I wonder if they refer to applicants as "Guests in Training" which would further extend the joke.

On the surface it looks like a pretty low bar – you need 4500 euros and some concept of a self-propelled business, even just a sole proprietorship without any prospect for job creation.

According to the site I saw, the success rate for applicants is 100% !?

Worrisome to have a medical emergency on #ISS. Looking over the Crew11 roster, it didn't appear that there's a medical doctor among the crew currently. There was one (Kim) up to Dec 9.

Sounds like probably a return home soon.

Aha - nice! Someone has done the work already. I need one of these comb razor attachments and was just about to start designing one from scratch.

They're about $5 from the manufacturer, but they won't ship outside US. One can print it for less than $0.50.

The design is in super overkill fine resolution, which always irks me a bit as it's redundant data. So I spent an hour removing 100k or more vertices, and cleaning it up. Hoping it fits well!

This is probably the first (and perhaps only?) 3D print I'm ever going to regularly rub against my face. lol

Glad that PLA is non toxic, and there's no lead filament around.

Maybe the workers misunderstood what "Pole replacement" meant?

Power-outage time has passed without any action yet. Perhaps with the extra snow their pole replacement project is somewhat delayed.

I've shut down my #homeAssistant RPi in anticipation of power outage shortly. I'll power it back up after the mains go down, using my backup power setup.

I've not tried the inverter + battery to run the whole home network (sans a couple of servers) before so this'll be an interesting test.
