I did IT for decades. I absolutely refuse to own a printer. I would rather drive to the library or UPS store on the rare occasion I need to print something than to have one of these gremlin habitats in my house.
Oh, that’s nice. Well done.
It being 3D printed is the least relevant part of this. But it has to be in the headline to get clicks. But it apparently also has to be the lead? "Molecule based “suicide pod’…”, “Carbon neutral ‘suicide pod’…”, “Self actualized ‘suicide pod’…”, “Corporate sponsored ‘suicide pod’…”
There aren’t many things you could put in front of the real story here that change the story without creating an even bigger story. And 3D printed is definitely not one of them.
Good news everyone!
People that don’t want their location triangulated from cell phone towers.
One got transferred to a hospital last winter and eventually got into some kind of housing situation.
One tends to hang out at the Walmart.
Others are frequently in and out of one of the two hotels in town. We had three but they tore one down.
My place isn’t paid off but it is cheap enough that I can say what would change and, importantly, what wouldn’t.
My monthly payment is just under $700 a month. About $400 of that is the actual mortgage. The rest is basically property taxes and insurance. I’d save $400 a month but would still have to pay $300. Assuming I didn’t decide to just earn $400 less a month then that $400 would have to go back into the property. I need a new roof. I need a new HVAC (AC died three years ago). A new roof and AC would cost almost a quarter of my original mortgage. So in the end not much would change financially.
An important thing to remember about home ownership is that on average you are going to spend about 1% to 3% or a dollar a square foot on home maintenance each year. I had to replace my septic system months after buying the place, 7.6% of the home price. I had to replace my water heater a few years ago. Fortunately it’s located outside the building so no water damage and I was able to do that replacement myself so instead of spending $1800 for someone else to do it I did it for $450.
Once I have even a little spare money I need to do some roof repairs, not pay someone else to do it.
What he is admitting is that there isn’t enough real material to concern the base so he has to make stuff up.
I’ve been using a vegetable julienne slicer to make my own. Better than a shredder for more consistent sizing. It’s saved me a fortune by using raw potatoes instead of buying the bagged stuff.
I bring canned salmon.
I knew two bears. They were caterers. They bought a restaurant.
What an unfortunate thing to happen on free dozen eggs night.
Someone will just invent a different way to do the same thing and they will make all the money. Patents don’t cover the result but the method.
What crimes can I get away with using the same idea?
We have a pretty decent one located in Mt wife’s room which is basically sealed off from the rest of the house. It runs into the shower. But despite its size it is inadequate for the whole house. I don’t have the money to buy a dedicated one for the whole house.
But this little window AC is doing a really excellent job. Set it to 80 and it keeps going and drying the air.
I live in The South.
My air conditioner broke 3 years ago. This year we got a small window unit. It’s not enough to cool the whole house. But it does provide the very important feature of dehumidifying the house. The temperature in the house and outside can both be in the high 90s. But it is so much less oppressive inside the house where the humidity has been stripped out.
It kills the fries.
