@relentless_eduardo Only went outside twice. First week I struggled against timezone sickness then I worked on CAD until my friend saw I had trauma/autism issues and told me I have to go back in France to get help.
What if you electroplated a plastic 3D print, and then melted off the plastic to leave just the metal behind? [HEN3DRIK] has been experimenting , with some impressive results.
For this work, [HEN3DRIK] prints objects in a special PVB “casting filament” which has some useful properties. It can be smoothed with isopropanol, and it’s also intended to be burnt off when used in casting processes. Once the prints come off the printer, [HEN3DRIK] runs a vapor polishing process to improve the surface finish, and then coats the print with copper paint to make the plastic conductive on the surface. From there, the parts are electroplated with copper to create a shiny metallic surface approximately 240 micrometers thick. The final step was to blowtorch out the casting filament to leave behind just a metal shell. The only problem is that all the fire tends to leave an ugly oxide layer on the copper parts, so there’s some finishing work to be done to get them looking shiny again.
We’ve featured [HEN3DRIK]’s work before, particularly involving his creation of electroplated 3D prints with mirror finishes. That might be a great place to start your research if you’re interested in this new work. Video after the break.
I could see this process being useful for jewelry making. Traditionally, a custom pendant will be made in wax (these days that part can be 3D printed), put in plaster, burned out and then the cast metal is poured in. With this process, you could make your own re-usable metal molds.
In a wide-ranging interview on the future and global existential risks, billionaire technology investor Peter Thiel raised alarms not only about familiar threats like nuclear war, climate change, and artificial intelligence but also about what he sees as a more insidious danger: the rise of a one-world totalitarian state. Speaking to the New York Times’ Ross Douthat, Thiel argued that the default political response to global crises—centralized, supranational governance—could plunge humanity into authoritarianism.
Thiel, co-founder of PayPal and Palantir, shared his worries using examples from dystopian sci-fi stories. “There’s a risk of nuclear war, environmental disaster, bioweapons, and certain types of risks with AI,” Thiel explained to Douthat, suggesting that the push for global governance as a solution to these threats could culminate in a “bad singularity” - a one-world state that stifles freedom under the guise of safety.

@Nonilex@masto.ai Farmers across the Country overwhelmingly voted for Trump. It sucks that she sold out herself and her country because she didn't like a half-Black/ half-Indian woman.

By Josh Stylman June 28, 2025 Psychology, Technology, Vaccines 16 minute read But he’s not alone. We’ve created a culture where wrongthink is policed so aggressively that even successful, powerful people whisper their doubts like they’re confessing crimes. brownstone.org/articles/the-co… I was on a hike last year with a very prominent tech VC. He was telling me about his son’s football team—how their practices kept getting disrupted because their usual field on Randall’s Island was now being used to house migrants. He leaned in, almost whispering: “You know, I’m a liberal, but maybe the people complaining about immigration have a point.” Here’s a guy who invests mountains of money into companies that shape the world we live in, and he’s afraid to voice a mild concern about policy in broad daylight. Afraid of his own thoughts.

INSTITUTIONAL OVERHEAD In addition to its direct costs of personnel and equipment, successful research also depends on institutional support such as a building to work in, computing resources, a good university library, scientific discussions, and administrative support. To pay for such overhead, institutions charge NIH indirect costs as a percentage on top of the direct grant money. The percentage varies widely among different universities and research institutes. For example,

This summer, 1,500 Israeli soldiers will attend Jewish summer camps across North America. They will act as ambassadors for Israel as it carries out ethnic cleansing across Palestine. The Jewish community must reject this normalization of genocide.
The difference is that Musk doesn’t depend on Trump to remain relevant (or solvent). All those others absolutely do: They were nothing before Trump, and nothing without him.
I didn't choose the bronchiectasis life. The bronchiectasis life chose me. Bronchiectasis is an incurable chronic progressive lung disease characterized by flaccid, sagging airways that fail to clear mucus.
Yeah, and prison officials are also sometimes found civilly or criminally liable for those deaths - which is frankly better than those officials deserve.
Not any more. SCOTUS just ruled today that Federal inmates can't sue their jailers when their civil rights are violated or when they get the ever loving shit kicked out of them and beaten to a pulp.

Most of my content creation over the next few months will be focused on our KKK project. We will include European history topics, but the overall theme will be more about our American ethnicity, a domestic nationalism. We love Hitler, but we want to show why he's relevant to Americans by exploring our native culture. We intend it to be a rich experience for the eyes and ears, and also teach some skills.
Hi there, Starmer and company,you morons THE IDF IS KILLING PEOPLE EVERY FUCKING DAY FOR THE LAST TWO AND 79 YEARS NOW. THEY ARE FUCKING MURDERERS!! SO YES I WISH FOR THE #iofterrorists ALL THE PAIN IN THE WORLD. #deathtotheidf
@phoneboy I wish i had some screenshots, it was right after we moved, we were all enjoying a good GM thread, then he comes in barking about were are all faggots and retards for trying to switch from ITM to GM.
He fucking sperged out about it and made 50 posts a day about it for 4 days.
On the 5th day he decided that ITM was sycophantic and gay too, and that anyone that typed either was a retarded faggot.

On the testing dates, the winds were unlikely to carry pollutants to the sites. On June 13, winds in Memphis were out of the south and southwest. On June 16, they were out of the south. The only location northwest of xAI is downtown.
"So my patriotism this July 4 week is to loudly declare that my America doesn’t stand for masked fed agents grabbing migrant children & mothers & fathers off the streets & whisking them away w/o #dueprocess. My America is welcoming, & just, & decent.🚨No 2-bit con-artist pres is going to take away my belief that these un-American actions can & will be stopped."
