New York prosecutors charge suspect in UnitedHealthcare CEO killing with murder, court records show
  • It is the kind of quality that will get you far, as a cop, I imagine. that, and not asking too many questions.

  • New York prosecutors charge suspect in UnitedHealthcare CEO killing with murder, court records show
  • They'll make a documentary about him, where the overriding theme is that we all have something to lose. in a few years, maybe.

  • RFK Jr to research unsupported link between vaccines and autism, Trump says

    the link has already been disproven. It would be interesting to see if these idiots can pass a first grade science class.

  • Jerry springer.

  • I have a basic shoe design
  • So... I wonder.... about the sole texture...

    what would happen if you increased the thickness of the sole, and then had zero solid layers on bottom to create easy tread. I'm thinking a few layers of dense gyroid, then solid to layers above it.

    Or if you wanted even more cushion... a few layers of tread with a couple solid layers, then more infill, and solid top players?

    if you think that might work... i'd suggest just doing a very thin print to check it out. (Like, the tread and maybe the insole of just the toe?) it might need tweaking. especially if you add an air-cushion layer.

    edit: i know prusa slicer has ways of changing infill percentages etc as a function of layer height, and I would assume most slicers do these days. Another setting to look at changing for tread would be the extrusion width, juicing the infill extrusion width should make the more sturdy, whatever pattern you do select for it.

    gyroid would create a squiggly patter on the bottom of it. hex might be interesting too, or maybe hilbert curve, which is 'space filling' fractals. Gyroid would be interesting for any cushion section because it would create two large pockets of air instead of many small pockets.

  • I have a basic shoe design
  • I would suggest air holes, to prevent sweaty feet (and massive chaffing.) (if it's TPU and thin enough, you can probably add them with some leather punches, mind.)

    Unless your goal is a shoe for jumping in mud puddles?

  • It began when she was 14
  • Compared to the 72 years the prosecutor wanted?

    Yeah. I’m also not seeing if there’s a possibility of parole. So he might only be in for six.

    All those church goers that testified on his behalf… apparently think it’s good and decent, “upstanding” even to rape a child. Constantly.

  • Nestlé USA Names Martin Thompson as Chief Executive Officer and U.S. Market Head
  • That’s just like, the new-hire complex. This guy doesn’t actually walk around where there’s traps and shit.

    Dying in a pit with spears at the bottom is not cool, and accidents happen.

  • Trump's Biggest Lies From His 'Meet the Press' Interview
  • Nope. There were some parts where the press-lady asked him some questions. Which he promptly ignored.

  • UnitedHealthcare CEO shooting latest: Suspect's backpack had Monopoly money: Sources
  • That doesn’t mean this backpack was the backpack he carried.

    I hope it’s not someone trolling the cops. That just gets them wrapped up in it and possibly cops looking at them as more evidence.

  • If we're lucky, maybe this timeline merely postponed the Bell Riots
  • Can you imagine all the good intel she’d have access to if she were a romulan spy?

    Seriously. Nobody would think they’re a military ship because of all the stupidity, if they didn’t go around taking Klingons and romulans and every other race on and handily smashing them.

    The stupidity? Families. Civilians in the bar, who also double as a therapist… because the actual therapist is on the bridge moonlighting as… something.

  • Police unlawfully storing images of innocent people for facial recognition
  • you, uh, know they still make the yellow pages? you can get one yourself.

    Also, who ones what property is generally public information. It's difficult to imagine, however, how you owning a certain proprety can be used as evidence, for example, in the killing of an asshole insurance ceo.

    Your photograph could be used to link you to that, however.

    Also, while it's reasonable to assume the cops have done due diligence on that guy they keep flashing around. But also, it's reasonable to take a step back and ask "how do they know". There's a non-zero chance that guy just popped up on a city-owned surveillance camera and popped on facial rec' because he has similar eyebrows.

    There's two massive issues at play with facial recognition. the first is that it's rather far from perfect- especially on shitty and grainy security cameras and the algorithm doesn't get to say "uh, I don't know". it's expected to give a "yes/no" answer (even if they try to soften it with a percentage probability... it's used as a yes-no/) . The second is that cops (and people in general) almost always assume the aglo is right.

    So it's entirely possible that the guy in the photo is completely uninvolved.

    As for how this is relevant? they need to have photographs to match to; or fingerprints. or DNA. (though they could just as easily use your cousin's... Yeah. you know those DNA ancestry kits you got for xmas? they fucked you over with those.)

  • Since everyone seems to be into name and date puns Kathryn has a proposal for next month's theme.
  • I mean, it has nothing to do with being an uncle… but I do want to have the full collection….heh.

    (I would love to watch Star Trek with the nieces and nephew. Unfortunately… they get scared by paw patrol. And not because they watched that one video about the previous police doggo…)

    Hands down… he was the absolutely best uncle… I have a lot to live up to.

  • Since everyone seems to be into name and date puns Kathryn has a proposal for next month's theme.
  • I was in middle school. I watched it with my Uncle (who was in another timezone) on speakerphone.

    To clarify... my uncle is the guy that got me into star trek to begin with; and scifi more broadly. We may had been visiting him and my aunt when I was like five or six, and my brother had a soccer thing in the area. I discovered his VHS collection, including TOS and all the movies that had been made. I was caught binging them when I was on Trouble With Tribbles- he had walked into the office/temporary bedroom, was like "HEY! this is my favorite episode. Rewind it while I go make popcorn!"

    And then we proceeded to binge watch the rest of star trek.

    I can't wear the stupid "I voted" sticker. Because they stick it to the mail in ballot instead.

    Granted, I was going to slap it onto one of my parent’s shiny kitchen appliances and make jokes about it being a mistake to let them have WiFi…. But still…..

    Why bag the hydrant?

    Saw this going to a friend’s house- they bagged the fire hydrants….one thought was snow; but this is the first year apparently. And snow has been a mild issue this year compared to most.

    [question] for the chemistry types- making chicken soup. Why did lemon juice turn the light brown chicken stock almost white?

    Okay, so I was making chicken soup from stock I had made using a (lightly,) browned carcus and neck. just before dumping the the dumplings into it, the stock's color was a nice light brown. I added about 1/4 cup of lemon juice, turned my back for 30 seconds after a stir and it turned it an almost milky-off white. Eventually it deepened to this:

    !

    It's delicious, and tastes as expected, I'm just curious as to what happened in the broth's chemistry?

    Seasoned with salt (duh), a sprig of thyme, some ginger and garlic, (just a hint of ginger,) black pepper, lemon zest (which was added with the torn chicken,) and white wine deglazed the pot from browning the dark meat.

    The stock was from garlic, onion, celery, carrot and maybe ginger scraps cooked with the chicken carcass..

    linear rail upgrades, looking for feed back.

    Due to reasons... I've "adopted" a CR10s that a friend had bought. It was used, and was already well on it's way to being a janky Printer of Theseus. My hope is to get it up and running and put through it's paces before the holidays so I can give it back as a gift.

    With the linear rail upgrades, I picked up the hardware and it's on it's way; which got me looking at how to do the upgrade, which I have mostly figured out; the question I'm having is, most upgrades seem to place the rails on 2020 extrusions sitting on top of the base frame- same as how the original y axis 2040's were designed.

    Which raises the question- why not lower it so the 2020 rails are even with the frame, with the mgn12 rail sitting on top? Like so:

    !

    The short answer I came to is this would necessitate replacing the brackets for the y stepper motor and it's idler; but it should be possible. the easiest solution would be something like:

    !

    which raises the question: are printed parts rigid enough to hold against the tension on the belts? The motors can't handle too much tension anyhow, and the printer already has the screw-cap tensioners for x and y printed that seem to have been holding up well.

    has anybody replaced the OG metal bracket on the back? does it stress and need replacing often, or is it fairly reliable (and above all, consistent,)

    Car wash: touchless or soft touch?

    Which do you use and why? Which one gets it cleaner. If it matters we have “real” winters here, meaning snow cruft and salt that absolutely must be removed.

    Edit to clarify: I’m talking about a choice in automated car washes- not hand washing cars. Seems people are getting confused. Touchless is a few passes with a pressure washer. Soft touch adds spinning car-wash brush things.

    Ship building question

    Okay, so, with structural modules- specifically the cowl/belly/hull modules you can slap in... aside from the trivial gains to hull, are they basically just for attachment points/decoration?

    could i protect things that can be targeted- the weapons, shields, engines, and grav drive- by placing 'under' hull components? or does that just not matter?
