ignorance and stochastic terrorism are done by the populace not the ruling class- grow up with this “we are not the same bullshit”

data… dad - d + ta

the other way doesn’t bother me though… unlike “experiment”.
it freaks me out when people throw a “spear” in that word

I print figurines, busts, and diorama scenery for my son and I to paint. Sure I’ve got my share of functional prints but most my print time is spent so I can spend creative time with my son. So very much worth it for me.

Ever since YouTube started this nonsense I moved to invidious and haven’t looked back

Cnotbush streams himself sculpting clay figures and statues daily on twitch

Ace of Clay, Dr Garuda, Art Chong, North of the Border, Sculpture Geek, etc all post sculpting vids on YouTube.

Some use a polymer clay you bake to harden, some use plasticine based clay that never dries. Depends on the artists preference and needs.

When I was in high school - ages ago - one of the substitute teachers of my art class was sanding/polishing their marble bust they were working on. It was neat to see the process but it’s really just a lot of wet sanding once past large removal / chipping.

If you feel, in an interview, that you’re being negatively judged. Leave. You are interviewing them just as much as they, you. Sure there is a slightly different power dynamic at play but the point of contempt and feeling like they’re doing you a favor shouldn’t exist.

FDM: prusa slicer bc open source ftw

its an incredibly powerful tool. I’ve seen its usage bloom from simple box health to actually determining cost per month of services. basically going from a “hows our server looking?” to a “we need this tool to achieve our margins”

Bc when entire infra teams rely on your service to operate, and orgs depend on infra, you can charge for that service bc orgs have to pay it, or degrade to cheaper, less robust alternatives - which do exist

Best in class cost $$$

Yup. If you’re lucky you can get pre taxed commuter benefits but that’s not much. My monthly bus pass is more than my credits and that doesn’t included parking or subways

i think Nestle is one of the most evil corporations currently on the planet - not quite large euro bank evil but close. Being out of work for more than 6 months - still applied to multiple positions bc one can afford to stand on a soapbox only when one has the money to afford the soapbox.
