3D printing - is it truly useful at this point? (Or just a gimmick for making toys?)

#asknostr

I'm thinking of getting into 3D, but wanted to get some opinions as to how folks are really using their printers...I can see some usefulness beyond the "toys" that seem to populate thingiverse, but wanted to get opinions.

Thanks!

Happy Thursday!

Almost to the weekend! Rainy day, but those only get your down on a Monday! 🀣 🀣

Time for coffee! (And zaps!)

Anything that makes me laugh gets zapped...

I think that's much cheaper than Fastmail (although it depends on the plan you purchase of course). I've been with them for quite a while, so not sure what their current pricing is or any deals for new customers.

You also don't have to be constrained by your domain name registrar.

You can also purchase web hosting (I'm a fan of Dreamhost) and you cna purchase email hosting (I use Fastmail) independently from your registrar.

That let's you not have all your eggs in one basket, and have providers that focus on specific products / functionality.

Setup is a bit trickier, but the are typically great guides available from those providers.

Just another idea...

Happy Wednesday!

So my wife likes to feed the local birds, and it's time to buy more bird seed...

Looked up her (well the birds') preferred seed - and it's selling now for $44.50...

Last October (yes, literally a year ago) that same bird seed was $24.50! (Looked up last year's invoice on Amazon.)

I know birdseed isn't probably included in the government's inflation calculations, but that's virtually double in just a year.

Birdseed...

Don't let anyone tell you inflation is "only" 3%...

(And if the destruction of our economy by the current administration isn't your top voting issue, well...)

Definitely need a cup of coffee to calm me down...

The sad thing about this picture is that it proves we teach our children to hate...they're not born that way--they learn it from us.

ABSOLUTELY correct!

Each of us has to work within a budget (or we go bankrupt).

The government should be subject to the same rules.

(AND the corollary should be that their ability to tax must be constrained--politicians must not be allowed to unilaterally increase taxes whenever they feel they need more "revenue")

Happy Tuesday!

Made it out to vote yesterday - a bit crowded, but no where near where it would be on election day.

I figure I deserve a hot Raktajino as a reward.

Oh, that is CLASSIC!

Happy Monday!

Overslept a bit today (not much thankfully) but still need that cup of coffee this morning for sure!
