WeTransfer just changed their ToS to allow them to train AI on any files you transfer through them.

Don't use there service, especially for work that you don't have the right to relicense to them (e.g., commercial work that's exactly the most likely to create the huge files WeTransfer specializes in).

(ETA: this is already going boom so I'm muting it.)

So... I printed a pocket sized gas filter cartridge to mouth adapter. It fits and works! Great for all the other times when one doesn't want to carry a full face respirator around everywhere for the occasional less than lethal dog fart.

I found this has already been designed, "3M Filter Adapter for Snorkel Mask (dual or single filter)" and I chose the single filter and printed it, and here is the success. It will need an oring (which can be printed with TPU filament LOL.) The only change I would make is printing it slightly smaller at 98% for a better fit to the cartridge and 100% infill for strength, so just started another print.

And possibly another revision, to print the whole thing in TPU as this is held by the mouth and teeth ๐Ÿ˜

I really appreciate The Nation as a publication. Their latest issue has analysis by a writer from 50 states, honing in on one issue in each state.

In this piece on Arizona, the writer looks at how our media environment creates a self -destructive performativity incompatible with a healthy democracy.

Hope can be a tricky thing.

We should all hold out hope that things will improve, that despite how bleak it may look, things have a way of getting better, or if they donโ€™t that we ourselves can improve and be changed by circumstance into something more than we believed we could be.

However placing your hope IN some government, some country, some politician, some ideology or some policy is foolish.

We must all learn to draw this distinction, and stay on the right side of the line.

Well said.

There are those who look at 'saviors' in our politicans. Biden or Que Mala will save our democracy!

When Trump won, these same people claimed Trump supporters were a cult. Who knows, some may be.

However, intelligent people realized Trump had many good statements and was better than any alternative available.

Of course we are disappointed. We did not expect the yellow brick road.

However, we need to defend against the cultists who worship big gubmint sans Trump.

Trump dรฉvoile un accord d'armement avec l'OTAN pour fournir des armes ร  l'Ukraine


Le prรฉsident Donald Trump a annoncรฉ lundi que les ร‰tats-Unis vendraient des milliards de dollars d'รฉquipements militaires aux alliรฉs de l'OTAN, qui en transfรฉreraient ensuite une grande partie ร  l'Ukraine dans le cadre des efforts visant ร  soutenir la dรฉfense de Kiev contre la Russie.

Le prรฉsident n'a pas fourni de dรฉtails supplรฉmentaires sur cet accord, qui marque sa premiรจre approbation de transferts d'armes offensives vers l'Ukraine depuis son retour au pouvoir. Cependant, lorsqu'on lui a demandรฉ si le paquet comprenait des batteries de dรฉfense aรฉrienne Patriot et des missiles intercepteurs , il a rรฉpondu : "C'est tout."

Une source proche du projet a dรฉclarรฉ ร  Axios que les ร‰tats-Unis vendraient pour environ 10 milliards de dollars d'armes ร  leurs alliรฉs de l'OTAN au cours de la premiรจre phase de l'accord.

Le secrรฉtaire gรฉnรฉral de l'OTAN, Mark Rutte, a dรฉclarรฉ que l'accord porte sur "des quantitรฉs considรฉrables d'รฉquipements militaires", notamment des missiles ร  longue portรฉe et des munitions. L'Allemagne, la Finlande, le Danemark, la Suรจde, la Norvรจge, le Royaume-Uni, les Pays-Bas et le Canada ont manifestรฉ leur intรฉrรชt ร  y participer.

Trump a annoncรฉ l'accord sur les armes peu aprรจs avoir donnรฉ ร  la Russie un dรฉlai de 50 jours pour accepter un cessez-le-feu. "Nous allons imposer des droits de douane trรจs รฉlevรฉs si nous ne parvenons pas ร  un accord dans les 50 jours", a dรฉclarรฉ Trump. "Des droits de douane d'environ 100 %, on pourrait les appeler des droits de douane secondaires. Vous savez ce que cela signifie."

Le prรฉsident ukrainien Volodymyr Zelenskyy a dรฉclarรฉ avoir discutรฉ lundi avec Trump et Rutte des moyens d'amรฉliorer la protection des civils contre les attaques russes et de renforcer les positions dรฉfensives de l'Ukraine.

"Nous apprรฉcions la volontรฉ de fournir des Patriots supplรฉmentaires, et les ร‰tats-Unis, l'Allemagne et la Norvรจge travaillent dรฉjร  ensemble sur ce sujet. D'autres armes seront รฉgalement livrรฉes pour protรฉger la vie de nos citoyens et repousser les assauts russes", a รฉcrit Zelenskyy sur X.

Dans un autre message sur X, Zelenskyy a remerciรฉ Trump pour sa ยซ volontรฉ de soutenir l'Ukraine ยป. Il a dรฉclarรฉ qu'ils avaient convenu de se tรฉlรฉphoner plus souvent et de coordonner les prochaines รฉtapes pour mettre fin ร  la guerre.

c'est sรปr que 800 milliards c'est une belle commande, mais comme l'Europe ne sait pas sur quel pied elle dance (elle ne fait en rรฉalitรฉ que tourner en rond), le lendemain, le contrat est dรฉnoncรฉ... pour acheter Franรงais (entre autre), mais comme les capacitรฉs de production n'existent pas, ni ici, ni ailleurs... ce sera surtout 800 milliards de commissions dans les poches des "intermรฉdiaires"...

Speaking of weak Democrats, you have no idea how much trouble I've had getting Democrats in #Maine to introduce or otherwise advocate for gun reform legislation. I've written multiple times to the chair of the Democratic Senate Committee, the Executive Director of the Maine Democratic Party, Senate President Mattie Daughtry (my state senator), the Maine Gun Safety Coalition, and more. All of them refuse to answer me. What cowardice. #Politics #Democrats #Guns #GunReform #Democracy #US #USpol

Nobody has made this conflation.

I reacted to the statement that gun-related issues and laws in Maine are a local problem, which they very clearly are not. The specific one at hand, a person using a firearm in their yard, might be framed as a local/municipal problem if one were inclined to ignore the context in which it's occurring. But I am not so inclined. Furthermore, it's a perfectly reasonable and valid political act to petition your state to take action that your municipality will not, and force it to be a statewide issue that needs to be addressed (which it is, and has been, for some time). That's how politics works. I found your responses here--that it's "just a local problem"--to be needlessly dismissive of an important issue. I'd also like to keep things friendly, but I don't find dismissiveness like that to be very friendly.
