Update on the Binance card. I got my physical card yesterday (Tuesday) and have just activated it on the Binance homepage.
The virtual card disappears when you activate the physical one, The physical one has a different card number so you have to change card in your Paypal account and where ever else you might have entered it.
You then get your pin by clicking "get pin" next to your card on the homepage.
Haven't tried it out yet, but will do shopping and ATM tests today.

Seems to me that you are complaining (if we want to call it that) about the interference of the natural ways of the free market which would more likely just follow a supply and demand curve.  So if there are guys meeting in private meeting and wanting to either collude in terms of stating industrial preferences and sure maybe Elon is wanting to look "green" in order to get subsidies, which is not exactly either free market or following where supply and demand might more naturally take incentives.

I wouldn't say I'm complaining, it doesn't really affect me in any significant way.

O.k. fair enough.

Making a comment of concern, then.    

 

I'm quite certain any such green schemes simply won't work but Elon is welcome to fork Bitcoin into proof-of-tweet if he's not happy about mining.

Well, seems that the reactions in the bitcoin space are getting stronger and stronger, and surely Elon had already burned quite a few bridges, and it seems that if Michael is attempting to make alliances with Elon that might not go over too well, either.. or such alliances have not been received too well so far.. maybe Michael and Elon are going to have a BIG announcement in Miami in the coming weeks. that will really end up pissing off bitcoin peeps... kind of like the in-person conference behavior of Trace Mayor to burn so much credibility from a short-period of bad decisions and seemingly ill-informed solicitations?

@Arrie:

About 3D printers, you've already got some good info from fellow WOers. If possible, get a printer with two Z-axis lead screws, not with only one screw that's positioned on the side of the bed. Also, if possible, get one with automatic bed levelling. This will get your printer as close as possible to a plug-and-play device.

I read you're the kind of person that doesn't want to DIY stuff. In that case, I fully recommend the Original Prusa i3 MK3S+ (pre-built). You can't go wrong with a Prusa at an affordable price point.

If you want to use more exotic materials, dimensional accuracy, end-use parts, engineering work, go for an Ultimaker (the dual extruder models like the S3 or the S5 for larger build volume). Expensive, but well worth it. A workhorse that will give you consistent results for years, whereas the cheaper ones will noticeably degrade over time.

I've been using 3D printers at work and personally since 2019. Now, I simply cannot survive without a 3D printer. I feel almost like a small god that can create anything at will. I rarely, if ever, print ready-made objects. I design everything myself using Autodesk Inventor (this s/w is even more amazing than any 3D printer can ever be). This is when a 3D printer truly shines. If you just download and print, it will get boring pretty quickly, and you will soon abandon the sport.

My 2 sats.

Thanks for your input, If I want to level up in the future I'll look into the ultimaker.

So much truth from Alcohodl.

I bought my first printer for my daughters.  They almost never used it.  I used it constantly, lol.  And then I started making things to fix stuff around the house.  To solve a particular problem.  I have used several 3D modeling programs, but have settled on two that I use most just because of speed and ease.  The afore mentioned Tinkercad, and I alsi use OpenSCAD.  You may or may not enjoy using it.  It is a text based 3d modelling software.  Open source and very basic, yet capable.  There are all the high end 3d modelling platforms like Blender as well which can be used.  But I have been able to make so many designs in TinkerCAD without paying for it and super quickly.  If you give it a shot make sure to do the tutorial.. that will help a lot.

OpenSCad is not GUI driven.  More of an old school "programmers" type of approach.  You build objects out of primitives and do all kinds of things to join them together etc:

https://openscad.org/

Some of my Tinkercad designs for various "fixes":

The red one on the second row is an example of the type of kooky thing I just make up... It is a "Toothbrush stand".  It goes in my medicine cabinet and has space for another toothbrush or toothpaste under it.  Just a little way to make more room in my cabinet.

Nice, I'll have to look at some tutorials before I start trying that out.

Turing Test: JJG is a bot. No detection of interpretation of human beings.

Tell me something that I don't already know.

 

You must be a bot ur lil selfie to believe that a bot does not know to be a bot.

dont you bots have a secret handshake or something to identify yourselves? id think there would be standards in place by now.

Can bots keep a secret?

So, if I have a file (.stl) in 1:100 and want it in 1:87 how do I do that?

Make it 100/87=~115% in the slicer.

STL files are actually dimensionless. Most software assumes 1 unit = 1 mm but sometimes not (or not by default)

Thanks.

[Arriemoller]

So, if I have a file (.stl) in 1:100 and want it in 1:87 how do I do that?

In your slicer (Cura, Slic3r, or whichever one you are using), just select "Scale" and enter this value:

100 / 87 x 100% = 114.9%

Make sure you do this for all axes (uniform scaling, it should do it automatically like this by default).

Thanks.

I have been trying to download chitu box so I can practice on my computer, but I can't open it, "software not compatible with win 32" or something like that. I'll try again later.

[Arriemoller]

I need to learn some terminology, what's slicing?

Holy moly 2900 bucks A YEAR for autodesk.

I have recently just got into 3D printing myself (funny how that happens hey)
Picked up an ender 3 V2 and really enjoying the experience.
I am now about to embark on building my own from scratch based on the Hypercube Evolution.
BTW I use CURA for slicing.
Seems to do a very reasonable job and I also play around with tinkercad and have had pretty good results so far.
Struggling a little with PETG printing though but PLA is is a breeze.

You always tend to get stringy results with PETG/CEP when you don't have a cabin. Built my own, now it's working much better.

EDIT: And reduce cooling fans to 10% or even "off" when printing PETG, while the travel speed (moving between printing paths) should be as fast as possible, which keeps down the stringing. Print at low speed, about half of PLA.

@Arrie: I'm using "3D Builder" (Yeah, it's Micro$oft, but free) for easy modeling. It's half intuitive. Just define, place and combine (or exclude) simple 3d objects to make more or less complex structures.
Didn't master the learning curve with the free CAD proggies.
I'm using Cura as slicer. Good enough.

Thanks, I'll take a look at that.

Went back and downloaded an older version, chose win 32and when I doubleclick I get "... not a valid win 32 application".
Fuck it, it's always some shit with computers.

Prediction:

New ATH by mid June.

Quote it for posterity gentlemen.

[Arriemoller]

Did absolutely nothing, just read an artcle and when I returned to the desktop the icon had changed and I could open it, but a dll or something file was missing, solution was on their homepage, go to the program files and open a exe file to install. Did that and of course the damned thing won't install, "unspecified error".

I'll give it one more try with another version, then I'm giving up.

Edit: I'm giving up, fuck computers.

Oh?

So we are skipping an ATH for May?

I was told a new ATH for every month in 2021.

So bitcoin changed its mind about May?

That sucks.

I don't even believe you no more, Philip.

At least, you stuck to your guns about $70k by May 1, but now the "1" has magically disappeared.  Something does not feel right about this.

Ok.  I am easy.., yet surely, at this point, I would need at least 6 confirmations before believing a $70k in May claim... yet I will concede that I would prefer your version of events Philip, over Elwar's negative Nancy... and don't even try to go with what Biodom has been asserting to be in our near term BTC price performance future because you may as well just jump off a building (or burn a bridge) if going with his level of depression-inducement (or should we characterize it as suppression?).. Not a bright ray of hope in sight with that guy's recent predictions.. I claim the DOWNity is a kind of denial of baby bull (I am not even stealing any trademarked expressions from diptwat lambie bambie with this) bitcoin with some peeps.

Have you tried an even older version then the old older version you have tried??

Hey, that reminds me.. where is my laser eye hat, @homer bomer?  U been discriminating against dees here kinds of peeps (I mean not peeps, whoops)?
  

 Sorry Mr. JJG! I guess I have been slacking lately.  Promise I'll fix you up after my night shifts.

No big deal.. I was just in the midst of a temperature tantrum and trying to find excuses to assert whoa is me.
