Back in 2019, I was in the market for a new 3D printer. The one I’d been using since 2015 was working just fine...but it was already an old design when I got it and printers had come a long way since then, so I could definitely do better. I bought a pair of Ender 3 Pros, based mostly on their purported performance…

I’m just impressed that David turned being that weird old guy down the road whose yard is full of car parts and who is always covered in oil into a career.

This is peak armchair quarterback.  Great work!

I talked briefly to a FA after seeing an unruly ex-passenger frog marched through an airport. He told me that disturbances on flights are becoming common. It was his opinion that things haven’t been good for people’s mental health for 2 years now and when packed into a small tube for a couple hours, things go sideways.

You think flight attendants are trained in how to subdue a person that is attempting to turn a champagne bottle into a weapon? I mean, come on. Do I wish the guy could have been handled more... peacefully? Of course. But I also don’t blame a flight attendant doing what is necessary to keep themselves safe.

Stop calling it the “Freedom Convoy”. That gives it a veneer of respectability.

Some rich guy should buy it and stash it in a garage/bunker. It’ll be worth 6 figures in 30 years!

A Honda Fit turned out to be a good investment with zero depreciation? Who knew?

This is like the bird refuge occupation in Oregon. When the stupid wankers sent out a list of supplies they needed, people started sending them dildos and butt plugs instead.

DA-YAM!  Flat out skipped right over trying to Rick-Roll these clowns and went straight to Canadian gay metal.  Cheers!  The only logical next step is a flat bed truck loaded with oiled up dancers and stacks of speakers blaring the music.

That sounds a lot more fun than what we did back in the day with loudspeakers.

People forget that lightness makes cars fun. Everybody wants every luxury and safety item in their car, and it is extremely difficult to add lightness in that case.

But how are you supposed to convince everyone that you totally don’t have a small penis in that old pickup?

I’m with you 100%. You want to point to a vehicle with great clean styling that still looks great today, that generation of C10 from 1969 is an absolute winner.

Easy.

Any truck. 1969 C10, then current. Bloated like most of the people who own them.

Nissan. Upcoming 400Z aside, the entire brand is a sad boring shadow of its former self.

+1 for Monel rivets in automotive applications they are expensive, yep boat and plane expensive, but are strong and resist corrosion when dealing with mixes of aluminum and steel parts, way better than stainless steel rivets in this combination. I did an aluminum race car interior once with hand riveter, it was days…
