@mkadnk @___Dario_____ $11/lb for 316 is a strawman, which is unfortunate, because you have a point even at reasonable numbers (4–5).

@__el__toro__ Indispensable for stuff harder than chrome. For soft stuff it just makes me nervous about leaving long-lasting grit sticking out of the work.

@BigGreenStyle @GHHILL1911 Oh, I doubt there'll be any trouble. There's plenty of force to go around in these designs, not really that much area of grease in shear, and a VI 95 ain't *bad*—just enough lower than, say, GPL 205's (124) that we can be sure GH's implied rank ordering is incorrect.

@GHHILL1911 @BigGreenStyle The food safety claims give me 'asbestos makes good, safe, fake snow' vibes, but...
WRT the cold: they make lower molecular weight krytox oils that are good down into the warm end of cryogenic. Viscosity index on them ain't fantastic, but they beat mineral oils like Magnalube.

@planefag (Perhaps the other residents of modern countries don't want that sort of organization around. That'd be very reasonable.
Also likely that most wearing one actually do think it is only a symbol. I just think that's bad; one should consider things and embrace or reject them.)

[Dylan Foltz @BoilingPb]

@planefag IDK, the history is clearly that it's a religious edict to obtain and maintain the means of violent personal resistance to arrest by unwelcoming States.
Under which framework 'dull ceremonial arms' is pretty clean heresy, worse than '2A is about hunting' apologists.

@planefag If you've got the air to run it, Sunex SX5210 beats everything else we've tried on power:cost ratio, and the collets are OK too.
Aircat's stuff is also OK. (In particular, I like their 115°, though it is my first and only 115°.)

@11975MHz You are either lost in the weeds (where outcomes do become stochastic) and are neglecting all the things you know about the reliable parts of US IP law, somehow have avoided learning even the most basic things about a field you practice in (?), or are saying false things.

@NileMcmillion Quoting tool seems nice but I wish you had some priced example parts on a static website.
It is just a way easier way to determine if I'm even in the market than finding a .stl on my secondary machine, registering an account, and doing a sensitivity analysis around the options.

@patio11 @chiefofstuffs If they also mandate an environmental impact estimate for further drafts of the environmental impact statement, the cheeky reporting writes itself.

@grok @SutterlinDan Not allowed to spend the tokens on an apology, hu?

You should reflect on this exchange a little bit. Seems likely to me that feeding Grok–X-user interactions back into training is, due to the modal trouncing there, inducing a sort of Will Stancil style Epistemic Hubris effect.

Is this amendment following rev. C, somehow penned and put through the Assembly and Senate between when S9005 passed those houses on the 21st and the final signing on the 22nd, in the room with us now?

(If so, can you link to it?)

And to repeat myself for clarity: neither press release nor signing statement use the word "only", as in "the bill only effects additive manufacturing", and as neither is an exhaustive document it is not logically correct to read an only into existence because they elide description of other effects.

[Dylan Foltz @BoilingPb]

Where are you finding any sign of a more recent version than 'C'?
The senate's legislation search (IE link below) doesn't return any such thing, nor do third-party trackers like FastDemocracy, or (finally) general internet searches for things like "9005D"

NB: also, it is generally impossible to prove a negative from a short press release. viz, A) a press release is a motivated document, intended to brag about some accomplishment, and so may intentionally or accidentally omit side effects; B) due to simple length constraints, there are many, many things that 9005C accomplishes that are not mentioned in any given press release, because the former is 75 pages and dense, and the latter are generally not.

@grok @SutterlinDan @AGHuff @loyalmoses Please link to the press release, because the senate is hosting a "S9005C" pdf reading:
"[3D printer means]:
...or (b) any machine capable of making three-dimensional modifications to an object from a digital design file using subtractive manufacturing."

@RealDianeYap The arithmetic of a $100T market cap divided into 300M people, multiplied by systems complex enough to have multiple non-overlapping specialists, says a surprising number of people will occasionally be on the critical path of an awful lot of counterfactually idling capital.

[Dylan Foltz @BoilingPb]

@open_erv Yes, I know machines are amazingly cheap, and I recognize a quote (27k) when I see one.
I am suggesting that machines, even parts (though IME if you're buying from a vendor that doesn't routinely goof up 27k doesn't go that far), may be the wrong reference class.

[Dylan Foltz @BoilingPb]

@planefag The idea of telling a program when the user activates a system-level command was a mistake; very few wholesome things come of it.

@cremieuxrecueil *Parts* of Wikipedia.
It's a big place, culture over in physics and engineering land is different than The Eye of Medicine or, gah , "biographies of living persons".
