  • No, nor can you print the battery, motors, flight computer, trans receiver or basically anything other than the frame.

    I love my 3d printer, but honestly when people talk about 3d printed weapons I always cringe, 3d printers can't make weapons (well, I guess you could make a plastic rondel dagger or something, doubt it'd work well though), they make plastic. When people talk about 3d printed guns, I don't think that most people realize that the only 3d printed parts are usually the exterior frame of the gun, the parts that make it an actual gun are still made from metal and purchased.

    Edit: and before anyone says it, yes you can 3d print metal, but not with anything you're going to find in someone's house - for the cost of an SLS metal printer, you could buy all the usual metal working equipment to just make a gun the old fashioned way

  • I'm not Vegan, so I can't speak for them, but here's my understanding

    if you live in an urban environment, it's basically impossible to get what you're referring to. Maybe if you were willing to have it shipped to you at great cost and not insignificant effort, but the only thing available at stores in the US is the BS marketed "free range" stuff. And even if you find a place that claims to be the real deal, how do you verify? Basically, it's easier for most people to just go Vegan then to seriously vet every source of animal products

    Additionally, many vegans believe it to be a genuinely healthier diet than an omnivore diet. And please don't respond with " we evolved to be meat eaters" or something like that, because we didn't "evolve" to do practically any of the things modern life entails, including a lot of what we eat. Beyond that one BS counterargument though, I make no claims as to whether they're right. Anecdotally, my sister in law suffered from IBS her whole life until she went Vegan, when the problem went away entirely. So it certainly has benefit for some people

    Finally, for a lot of vegans it's an issue of consent - some might say that you shouldn't eat those eggs in your example for the simple reason that they don't belong to you, and you can't morally take them, because theres no way to ask consent, and so you shouldn't. Again, you don't have to agree with the outlook, but that's the way several vegans have explained it to me.

    If any actual vegans come along and think I'm misrepresenting something, feel free to correct it

  • Or just don't wear heels, and when some opponent or interviewer makes some comment about your height, just dig into them like "really? We're discussing the future of our country and you're focused on my height? I'm here to focus on the real issues, not petty shit". Boom, you'd come across way more confident and manly than any amount of height could give you.

    Ofc, his base is exactly the sort who is petty enough to care about height, so maybe that approach would only work for a dem candidate lol

  • At the time I made the comment, it was literally just those downvote and not one up vote(except the one by the OP), hence my comment

    Its actually an interesting phenomenon I've noticed on reddit and now lemmy - if someone is getting down voted for something dumb like violating the circle jerk, if a child comment points it out, the downvote stop instantly and it starts being up voted 🤷🏼‍♂️

  • I'm pretty sure the whole "iPhone as a status symbol" thing is a thing of the past - I literally can't remember anytime in the last 5 years that anyone expressed envy at someone owning a iphone.

    I'd argue that yearly upgrades regardless of phone brand are more of the status symbol now

  • Tbf - they do this because of a rule that is actually very important. Basically news media can't say that a person did a crime until they're convicted of that crime - otherwise it's libel (or slander, I can never remember which is which)

    That's important because otherwise the media can basically just have unilateral control over the court of public opinion. People already rarely read past headlines, imagine if news headlines could just declare someone guilty with impunity.

    It always seems silly in these cases - and in similar cases where the defendant has basically already admitted to doing it - but it's actually an important rule in my eyes

  • There's absolutely nothing wrong with being short. Lying about your height and wearing ridiculously high lifts, while continuing to lie about it in the face of evidence however is a pretty powerful statement of character on his part. And not a flattering one

  • Especially impactful when you consider that Death basically never passes judgement on individuals in the series. For him to try and dissuade Brutha from helping Vorbis shows a level of disdain he usually only reserves for people who are cruel to cats

  • So, this may be part of the answer, but I've had similar experiences to you, except for one startup where just about everyone was like that. Place was basically a frat house - its office was right on the water (which was awesome) and they literally had a bunch of binoculars for oggling women paddleboarding and shit (which was not awesome)

    It might be that most of us don't experience this behavior because it's condensed into companies that encourage this behavior? I'm no sociologist, but that seems to jive with what I know about echo chambers and whatnot

  • Even if it is, they're conveniently skipping over the fact that even I their own untrue version of events, they still spent their life in prison after being caught (also pretty sure they don't let you fuck "fans" through the bars in prison, but hey - I'm no expert)
