  • Looking for a robotics kit for a kid to work on together.

  • I haven't dealt with their software, but with the stuff I see people able to build, I know it has to be good. Its been in use for over a decade so they've had a lot of development time to get things right.

    What i like most is their whole kit ecosystem- it's very Lego-esque in how parts all have standard connectors and spacing so that if you sort of "think" that two parts fit together- it's almost guaranteed they will. Especially with exp and v5, which are metal-girder components rather than plastic, but the plastic kits are good too.

  • What's that video game boss you've never been able to beat, or took you the longest to beat?

    Jump

  • I was actually never able to beat the nilianth in the final level of Half Life. I think I tried 2 or 3 times, it was extremely annoying getting sent to the parkour room constantly and I haven't been back to try it again in a decade.

  • I would look into the kits that VEX Robotics offers. Thry support multiple coding languages (including vex blocks, which is visual iirc), have a very wide selection of modular mechanical components, and I can vouch for their quality. They even run competition events to solve game problems using their robots.

  • Goddamn maybe I'll go back to them then. Thats hot.

    When I was in college we used a lot of Sunlu in the engineering makerspace I was part of, but I haven't really seen their stuff since I graduated, which is like 3 years ago. They were still using the solid black spools then.

    Donald Trump Is Going For His Third ‘Dentist Visit’ This Year … And It’s Hard Not To Speculate

    Jump

  • He probably does need that many dentist visits though, a diet of hamberders and coke is hell on your teeth.

    I don't know if this is a good sign for November but Democrats in Nebraska have more votes for governor than Ricketts

  • Osborn had a hell of a run going up against Deb Fisher and was in the ballpark of winning with no major party support whatsoever. I have faith in him of all people being able to flip a seat.

    Jump

  • The bulk deals at Bambu were pretty inline price wise with china filament- I was getting it under $14 a kilo. and I do like their refillable spools reducing overall waste and taking up way less storage space in my cabinet. But yeah none of that's worth it at this point, and their bulk deals are all mostly gone.

    Jump

  • I bought an x1c in 2023 as I was getting into printing, but I've pretty much stopped buying anything from Bambu. I get my filament 3rd party, I dont care about the rfid tags and their system doesn't deserve my money anymore, and I'm already stocked on consumables for the next 1500hrs of run time on my printer.

  • 401K's are already an artificial siphoning of worker capital into the rich people's stock market game. This is just par for the course.

  • What old thing surprisingly still exists?

    Jump

  • It already has. Vast majority of companies still handling fax are using VoIP fax modems with digital receivers that turn it into a PDF. I haven't seen a functioning copper landline probably since 2015...

  • Correct on the compaction - it likely needs to be aerated aggressively.
