  • My employer does the same over a proxy. Luckily it can't breach HTTPS, but it was annoying to set all my APs and router and switches and other network nodes to HTTPS just because the damn thing would block the site the moment I sent my password in cleartext to a local device...

  • Most definitely this.

    Most lawmakers don't understand even the surface level nuances of messaging and encryption. All they see is a communication solution that can potentially be used by bad faith actors without any possible oversight by the intelligence services.

  • More and more I'm seeing blatant lies in marketig, which wasn't as prevalent a few years back - at least not through mainstream advertising companies.

    Don't get me wrong, these companies, products and adverts existed since the beginning of the internet but we're usually shunned enough by advertisers that you'd only encounter them on sites that... couldn't use your average advertising networks. Say, porn sites. Which, to be fair, are still chock full of "grow your dick 6 inches in 12 days" kind of ads...

    But the fact that Facebook, Google, Amazon, and even Microsoft are getting away with pushing the exact same scam ads - but now wrapped in almost reputable looking companies' branding - is what I find blood-boiling.

    Every single social media is now full of this crap. If it's not dick growth pills, it's magic anti-hairloss solutions coming from some sketchy manufacturer in China that disappears within 3-4 weeks (and of course they upcharge for the "3 month guaranteed success or your money back" guarantee), the various dietary supplements, most of which are absolutely unnecessary for most people but they'll push it with absurd claims, or the workout apps that promise to take you from BMI 40 to visible abs in 12 weeks, or the various dropshippers that sell "miracle" inventions that are available literally on Amazon for a fraction of the price (and even cheaper on AliExpress), or the sham weight loss products, I could go on.

    I just find it insane that previously respectable companies are now milking the snake oil "business" so hard and nothing is being done against it.

  • Is it convoluted though? The origin term came from a shitty 4chan meme, and it got shortened. Not that convoluted.

  • A polite guest who brings their own refreshments.

  • That wasn't the topic though...

  • Yeah. You want to avoid adding any unnecessary weight to the Z axis gantry, especially if it isn't balanced and even more especially if it's on a freaking lever!

  • There are key differences, namely that communism is a socioeconomic system that neither Stalin nor Mao followed, and instead established authoritarian regimes that were communist in name only...

    But of course to realise that, one would need to learn actual history. You clearly missed those classes. Fascism is a little bit more than "let's kill people who disagree with me".

  • Watch it, some brickhead will be along soon, claiming the two are the same!

  • Guys, that's why you date a bi girl. You can appreciate feminine beauty together.

    And ladies that's why you date bi guys. You can appreciate masculine beauty together.

  • 38% of Republicans =/= 38% of Americans...

  • Not unrelated. You said "38% of Americans", when it should've been 38% of republicans...

  • Mind you it says 62% of Republicans.

    100% of those not up the arse of the orange cunt think he's hiding people from the Epstein list.

  • I'm not so sure this is legit. Most of these things would've been from the 90s and early 2000s, at which time Trump wasn't nearly as far as depicted on this condom. Also his whole "yuge" thing came out in the late 2000s, early 2010s, so I don't really see it being on condoms before it became a thing...

  • I... print. Y'know, what the printer is for.

    But I also use specialised filaments for certain things, and most of those do leave an oily residue on the print plate, hence cleaning regularly.

  • You must be fucked in the head to presume that you intrinsically possess any kind of rights.

    Rights are a societal contract, an agreement between the people of what one might do and what one might not - and of course what the repercussions are for doing something that one is not allowed to.

    For something to be intrinsic, it has to exist naturally - such as, your hair colour, skin colour, etc. would be intrinsic. Rights aren't.

    And yes, in fact, it IS the government's role to determine the rights of people (legislative branch), ensure that people stay within those rights (executive), and provide a commonly acceptable interpretation of those rights (judicial).

  • That wasn't the point though... -40 to 80 is the APPROXIMATE range a person would want to describe in terms of "oh it's twice as hot/cold as yesterday", which is the whole point of the exercise, not to determine at what temperatures humans use protection against the weather, because guess fucking what, we protect our bodies even in optimal temperatures and weather conditions! Or do you walk around fully naked when the weather's just right?

  • Wiping with alcohol between a few prints can help with adhesion but does not remove the need of cleaning the plate every 4-5 prints properly - as you've said, dish soap, a good scrub with a soft sponge (I've actually dedicated a separate Dishmatic for this purpose), rinse, repeat on other side, then dry with microfibre cloth, should do it for a good few prints.

    Spray of 80-90% ISO with microfibre cloth between every print can help reduce the need for a proper clean, but marginally at best.

    Wash yo plates!

  • Or even better, fuckx.com

    Don't even give these fuckers the traffic. And it also gets around the annoying login requirements of Xitter.
