“hey let’s release the same thing over and over again, charge almost full game price for it, and whenever something new comes out, just delete everything they’ve already paid for.”

“hey why aren’t people continuing to buy our game…”

Yeah. Great mystery, that one.

Bungie will never get another dollar from me.

Yeah, but if they do reasonable things, then they can’t use her as an example/warning to intimidate persuade others to not protest except in perfectly acceptable, out of sight ways.

I’ve checked for the Azure Gate Bridge and whether green lights mean go, and so far I don’t think we Slid anywhere but keep your eyes peeled.

From a certain point of view, you are 100% correct.

From a different point of view, he’s a person with meat and blood held together with a fleshy bag thing, and propped up by calcium sticks. Or “inefficient bag of mostly water” if you wish.

Not everybody is useful. Every body can be good fertilizer.

The most reliable one I have uses an AR style fire control group, and large metal pieces for the bolt, and pre-hardened hydraulic tubing for the barrel.

There’s plenty of metal in it, all held together via 3d printed parts and frame

The only things I needed to buy that I would consider “from a firearm” or “from a gun store” would be the fire control group. Everything else was bought from McMaster Carr or local hardware stores.

Spot on with the woodworking. I’ve made a couple stocks for my grandfather’s old broken long rifles. It’s just more time consuming. (also my 3d printer isn’t that long)

The ones I have use 3d printed frames, the fire control group and barrels are metal with 3d printed pieces for making the rifling.

All the parts that take repeated heavy abuse are reinforced with extra thickness or different infil, but by weight I’d say it’s about 50/50 metal/plastic.

The 3d printed lowers are quite basic, and since they aren’t designed to take a ton of stress anyway, it’s not really hard to find a decent design.

All my parts are printed in pla+, and I do minimal work afterwards to make things perfect, only what is necessary for the mechanical parts to cycle properly.

I actually haven’t been keeping up the last few years, I wouldn’t be surprised if there are even better methods than the ones I’ve used.

Important to note: 3D PRINTED FIREARMS DO NOT BREAK WITH A FEW USES

Firsthand knowledge.

200-250 rounds and still going strong, inspected before and after firing every time

No damage so far.

Beyond that point, I agree with everything posted.

Fertilizer for a field.

Soylent billionaires: food for the rich.

As someone who has moved several free pianos and now tells people I will drive it but loading and unloading is on them…

They all sound like complete shit.

The piano is free, making it sound good isn’t.

But then, most people just have a piano for decoration.

TERRIFYING PRECISION and ARCHITECTURAL GENIUS of checks notes

…

double-checks notes

“Knowing how shadows and windows work”

Man, the bar is unrealistically high for some people…

As someone who never planned on playing Balatro, and was kind of getting tired of seeing it on my feed the way I got tired of helldivers 2 stuff right after release.

I would happily toss a tenner to the dev for a lawyer over this.

… Dodging?

Is that some kind of move weaklings make when they can’t take a hit?

This comment brought to you by The Tank Gang (heavily backed up by Supports)

There’s several of us in Ohio, what if we toss Mike dewine and his ilk to Kentucky?

but provides no evidence of wrongdoing

So surely it will be rejected and nobody being sued will even need to show up since nobody even has any evidence?

Surely…

Especially annoying for people with astigmathism

Good point. I get annoyed with the little lines on my windshield caused by the wipers in rain that make lights stretch a bit (idk how to better explain that), I can’t imagine how terrible it must be for people with astigmatism

I read it more as “saying this will contribute to” rather than “proof of”

must’ve read David vs. Goliath and sided with the Goliath.

Bold of you to assume that they can read, or that they have read the Bible.

In my experience not even “devout Christians” do that last one.

I just drove to Michigan and back, saw maybe 5 vehicles, including a semi covered in lights.

One just had a single dollar store strand around the hood, one had followed all the panel lines on the car, and the others were just wrapped a couple times over the top and underside.

None were flashing or twinkling, just steady lights.

As long as they don’t flash or move while driving, honestly I don’t think a couple strands would be that distracting except maybe a double-take

I can see how this many lights would be distracting for some. I would definitely look more than twice, if I had space around me.

Still though I think I’d just ask them to leave most of the lights off while actually on the move at most.

Don’t care how they got it.

Unethically, probably illegally.
