I’ve been learning Dutch, since the Netherlands seems like a nice place to go if I ever have to flee the US. Thinking about joining some Dutch communities here so I can get more “natural” language exposure.

Your Character Here, usually used to show that you can commission an artist to draw your character in that pose

That’s what everyone was saying in 2024.

When my truck’s clutch cylinder blew, I managed to limp it to the shop just by rev-matching and slipping it into each gear. I couldn’t stop without stalling, so I definitely blew a couple stop signs, but I made it.

Thanks! I keep seeing these videos of Russians trying to run, shoot them, swat them away like bees, always to no avail. I was wondering whether any of them had been smart enough to surrender.

Are there any examples/footage of soldiers surrendering to drones?

At least it’s better than stealing cars or ripping sinks off the wall.

Commemorative Soviet watch made in the late 80s or early 90s, for the Buran space shuttle.

 

Several years ago I leapt enthusiastically into the realm of 3D printing by buying a massive, expensive delta-type printer. I had to put it together myself, which was fun, but after that I struggled to get it to print well. Even simply trying to get the prints to stick to the bed were difficult, leading me to add huge brims to all my parts which were a pain to cut off afterward. Eventually I gave up fiddling with it and it’s been gathering dust ever since.

I know that a lot of you treat the hobby as an opportunity for endless tinkering and optimization, which is great, but I think I’ve realized that what I’d prefer is something that just works out of the box with a minimum of adjustment.
