  • What's a technology that was cooler in its older iterations?

  • I remember those radios. And I remember the small town radio stations that had shows filled with local happenings and people with local voices providing the information. Not canned shows from a central location.

  • It's one thing to use baby talk with an infant, (hence the baby talk moniker), and another to speak that way to a child that is actually learning to form words and construct a sentence.

    Use whatever voice you prefer with your pets. Dogs actually enjoy the soft sounds of baby talk. A bit of brilliant manipulation of humans by the dogs.

  • Having been a teacher for a few years, yes talking all day loud enough to be heard over a classroom is very tiring. But I tend to have a voice that is powerful and carries well.

    Even though I'm retired, my Wife still asks me to "Use your inside voice please" sometimes.

  • Every church needs their evangelists and missionaries. And the Church of Tux is no different or better than the churches that have gone before.

    It's a people thing.

  • No shit.

    Like all new technologies, there is a time when bunches of companies jump on the band wagon to get in on the action. You can see it all throughout the history of the industrial revolution.

    They mostly know that there will come a great weeding out of those that can't handle the technology or just fail from poor management. But they are betting they will be among the 1% that wins the race and remain to dominate the market.

    The rest will just bide their time until the next Big Thing comes along. And the process starts over again.

  • I think 60 is the point when you realize you are actually starting to get old. You begin to realize that you really can't do the things you used to do. And the things you still do - you do slower and for not as long. Your hair is grey or starts falling out quite noticeably. Your body actually hurts just getting up in the morning. You go to bed earlier. Maybe you fall down because your balance wasn't as good anymore. Possibly a friend or peer dies from a heat attack. A Grandchild or two happens. AARP, (American Association of Retired People), starts sending you letters.

    You are now truly and officially old.

  • Pro Tip for GenXer's: There is a point in life when you need to pick a Doctor that you like enough to die on. That will be the doctor that will take you through the last years of your life. And treat all those little miserable ailments like high blood pressure or urinary issues. Long term medical care, while it's often something that might not kill you outright, It will demand a lot of monitoring and medication to treat.

  • Trump’s “Swiss” Watches Traced to Derelict Wyoming Strip Mall

    Jump

  • I have no idea what movement these watches have nor do I care - I ain't buying one. But you can easily buy all the cheap, less than $20, Swiss made movements you want all day every day.

    Just because it say Made in Switzerland doesn't mean it's the expensive best or even the equal to a well made Chinese movement.

  • If you are using Bamboo slicer, you are pretty much using Prusa slicer since it's directly taken from that with minor changes. I've noticed I've been slowly migrating away from Prusa slicer, a fork of Marlin, to Orca slicer - which is a fork of Bamboo. The reason is Prusa slicer is now concentrating on updating for the new Mk4 and XL printers with a nod to the Mini. I'm still quite content my Mk3s+ and don't need all those new updates for printers I don't own.

  • Yeah as with any new gotta have technology, there comes a point where a great weeding out of less than efficient providers happens. And it's been happening to many 3D companies for a while now.

  • Corporations do this regularly. Using funds from one branch of their business to prop up others. That's neither new or illegal in the EU.
