@Raz_Ciuca@granawkins Don’t get me wrong, it’s still several hundred dollars of equipment (not counting the oscilloscope or laptop) so you need some disposable income to do this sort of thing, but I suspect that’s not the limiting factor for most people, it’s the requisite knowledge and motivation
@Raz_Ciuca@granawkins Have you seen his videos? He’s pretty frugal as far as spending, just has a 3D printer and a nice oscilloscope. In this specific video, cheaps out on as much as he can, only buying expensive parts (still not that expensive, like ~$200) when he’s tried everything else
@Unixsystem13@Resko727@granawkins If anything, his capabilities wrt tools are the least impressive thing about him. Just a pretty basic 3D printing setup as far as I know. His resourcefulness in other regards, as well as deep knowledge of physics and electronics is what sets him apart.
My advice is to make furniture that will outlast you. Make one piece per year. Make it weigh 200lb and made out of the best materials you can afford at the time. TIG welded this out of steel tube and a 2in slab of Padauk.
@Necrofamicon@dilanesper@andrew_cuda The movement to ban straws and lids is a psyop by the oil lobby to shift the burden of plastic waste from corporations to individuals. A regulation that lids be made from plant matter would both address the problem more effectively, and be more palatable to the consumer
@Necrofamicon@dilanesper@andrew_cuda Everyone understands the point of asking, it’s just that imposing these tiny regulations that annoy everyone and do fuck all is counter productive if your end goal is to save the planet. If we could get elected then we could make enact actual change
@PeztyMerc@GothicBacon@nephelimmmm@pearlplat202 Yeah the water remains on earth, it’s not like the earth is lacking water. It’s just that water is becoming increasingly difficult to extract, which means more expensive. We could just build desalination plants, but the cost would be astronomical.
@GothicBacon@nephelimmmm@pearlplat202 It does, but if you ignore the green water, the blue and grey water required is still ~60x the others. ~158 gallons per pound https://t.co/QybaC5jwzL
@BrynleeM9879 @BLSellHigh @itsvarora@mrexits Yeah, the agreement itself was illegal. The reason we can even read this email is that it was released during discovery for the linked civil suit which Adobe lost, and antitrust action was enforced to make sure they do not enter these sorts of agreements
@MightiJamie@Bipper1122@chrisdmowrey What makes you say that? You are making things up just as much as he is, for all you know 10 years is exactly right
@DonWeNowApparel @RLefromager@BabyKeeb@9mmsmg@AnthonyTBM Actually the opposite is true, ‘0’ is represented by charging the transistors float gate and ‘1’ is represented by removing that charge. Therefore a flash drive with all ‘1’s stored would weigh more. But that’s assuming unused memory is all ‘0’s, which isn’t always the case
@MortConsumCoach@m3_melody I don’t understand your point. You say demand outpaced supply, therefore prices will go down? Appreciation doesn’t just happen, clearly demand was greater than supply. Now that appears to be flipping, therefore prices have been decreasing and are due to decrease further
